The Parkers Arms, the celebrated pub in Newton-In-Bowland, has been named the second best gastropub in the country.
The pub, run by Stosie Madi and Kathy Smith, leapt up two spots from last year’s position in the Estrella Damm Top 50 Gastropubs awards, held in Manchester today.
It just missed out on the top spot to The Unruly Pig in Woodbridge, Suffolk, the highest climber from last year’s list.
