Great old fashioned but new pub. Friendly staff and a good selection of ales. Got here on Monday quiz night and only got a table as one team cancelled Quiz wasn't too hard although the quiz masters jokes were atrocious. Really enjoyed the night.

Brough Castle Ice Cream Parlour

Reviewed By hewi2016 - Preston, United Kingdom

Dropped in at this ice cream parlour and glad we did. All covid-19 safety measures in place which was reassuring. The lady behind the counter was lovely. We ordered two scones, clotted cream, jam and hot chocolates. The scones were so delicious, they were warm and lovely and soft and the hot Chocolate were divine. This is a little hideaway that we are glad we came across and will certainly return when in the area. Thank you.
