Moor Hall Restaurant with Rooms

Inspected by Visit England Logo
Visit England Logo Inspector comments
"Outstanding cuisine in a grand house with dedicated, friendly staff."
Overview
Moor Hall is located in west Lancashire in five-acre gardens with stunning views over a beautiful lake, and is said to be the remains of a medieval moat. This Grade II listed house has been transformed with care and attention into a destination restaurant with rooms. The bedrooms are stunning and many showcase original features with exciting modern styling. New garden rooms have been added in 2024. Mark Birchall is chef patron here and has created a world-class dining experience in relaxed surroundings. Local provenance is at the forefront of this modern British cuisine; produce grown on-site or by local suppliers is used whenever possible. The three AA Rosette Barn offers a slightly more casual dining experience with no drop in focus on freshness and flavour. Throughout the establishment, the knowledgeable and friendly team are passionate about what they do.
