“We take pride in all our ingredients, sourced from across the land and sea to bring you the finest fresh meat & fish”

Our food philosophy is based on working closely with farmers, butchers and fishmongers to guarantee the very best ingredients, traditionally prepared and without fuss, which allows the food to speak for itself. Always striving to produce great British cuisine in our own style; The Pavilion experience is relaxing, rewarding, and refreshingly unique.

All our ingredients are seasonally sourced from across the land and sea – when it comes to quality and flavour there is no compromise, from our daily delivered fresh fish from Fleetwood to the meats from Ribble Valley. We always aim to find you the tastiest produce to ensure the highest quality experience possible. All food is honestly and traditionally prepared for your enjoyment and served in a casual environment with its own individual character.

To support our chefs artisan craftsmanship we believe in offering with an extensive selection of the perfectly temperature controlled quality wines which of course compliments the menu. All wines are stored in our bespoke specialist fridges adapted to optimise their flavours and to ensure crisp white wines and sparkling champagnes. It doesn’t end there, all chilled wines are beautiful presented in a traditional ice bucket, not a cooler, to continue our guests enjoyment. Alternatively we also have a large selection of house wines specially chosen, and available for you to choose from our numerous wine barrels within the bar area.

Our team take pride in offering a vast selection of cocktails crafted from our extensive array of premium spirits including the freshest fruits.
