"An elegant, airy restaurant set with an impressive 19th century country house hotel in the Lancashire hills, Northcote Manor is a culinary beacon on the north-west's dining scene. Chef Nigel Haworth uses local ingredients in intriguing combinations to produce maximum flavour. Typical dishes might include black pudding and pink trout with mustard and watercress sauce; roast partridge with foie gras and pickled damsons; and apple crumble soufflé with Lancashire cheese ice cream".
