From the outside it reads as a classic Lancashire village pub, and inside it still delivers a proper pint and a genuinely jolly atmosphere. The Michelin-starred White Swan at Fence runs a set menu that lets the kitchen focus on refined, classical cooking built from local and seasonal produce, the kind of food that has no business being this good in a room this relaxed. Regulars and pilgrims from further afield share the same unhurried tables.
