Food and Drink
Rossendale is a 'Foodies' paradise with an excellent reputation for high quality refreshing Restaurants and Cosy Cafes.
When it comes to dining out Rossendale is brimming with choice, some excellent award winning restaurants, inns and café bars. There's lots of choice, including fine country dining, especially in country house hotels and a variety of traditional inns.
There are opportunities to sample in-town restaurants and bistros or charming tea rooms, where you can enjoy delicious home made pastries and cakes. More traditional dishes are not to be missed and can still be found in pubs and cafes.
Here, original recipes, such as Lancashire Hot Pot remain a best kept secret! You can also sample the rich cultural culinary delights at our specialist restaurants including Italian, Chinese, Spanish and Indian food.
Tradition certainly runs deep here, for example, why not sample a time honoured beverage such as black beer or sarsaparilla at one of Britain's last reaming temperance bars, Fitzpatrick's in Rawtenstall.
Booking ahead or simply stopping on route, there is a huge variety of refreshment stops to satisfy the appetite of the enthusiastic walker, or thirsty traveller.
