We chose simple haddock and chips but the fish was so fresh and delicious, it was anything but a simple meal. Service was excellent and we were early to dine in the evening, so the restaurant was quiet. Will definitely go again.

About the restaurant

Nestled in the heart of the Forest of Bowland, Bowland Forest Farm offers two distinct dining experiences under one roof - The Forest Lounge and The Bowland Grill.

The Forest Lounge
The Forest Lounge is our relaxed, welcoming dining space, perfect for everything from leisurely lunches and casual catch-ups to coffee, cake and drinks. With its laid-back atmosphere and inviting surroundings, the Lounge offers a more informal dining experience, with a menu designed for easy, relaxed eating throughout the day.

The Bowland Grill
For something a little more indulgent, The Bowland Grill offers a dedicated dining experience centred around hearty, quality food and classic grill favourites. With its own menu and distinct area within the venue, the Grill is the perfect choice for those looking to sit down and enjoy a more substantial meal.

Two Concepts. One Destination.
While both experiences are part of Bowland Forest Farm, each has its own atmosphere, menu and identity.
