The Patten Arms

About The Patten Arms

Set in a striking Grade II-listed building in the picturesque Lancashire village of Winmarleigh, near Garstang, The Patten Arms combines the charm of a traditional country pub with a food offer rooted in seasonal Lancashire produce. Inside, there’s a warm, cosy bar with low beams and an open fire alongside a separate restaurant dining area, while outside, generous, well-kept gardens and a brook-side setting make it an appealing spot for a leisurely lunch or dinner or a post-walk pint. Chef-patron Matthew Illingworth, a local with deep roots in the North Lancashire dining scene, brings a confident, modern edge to the menu, with carefully sourced ingredients and well-executed dishes. The Patten Arms also hosts regular events and tasting evenings.
