Toll House Inn

"Quirkily elegant, canal-side townhouse offering top Lancashire produce"
Overview
Right in the centre of the city, this listed inn was once a Corporation Toll House. Demolished in 1901, it was then rebuilt as two separate pubs, which Thwaites Brewery joined together again in 2007 to create a grand 28-room inn with a bar. Its wonderfully high ceilings make it feel light and modern, although period features can be seen everywhere, from the listed staircase to the stained-glass windows. The atmosphere is quirkily elegant, and the kitchen team prepare all the food on the premises; seasonal menus make the most of excellent Lancashire produce. Situated next to the Lancaster Canal, the pub is the ideal place from which to explore the county.

About the area
Lancashire was at the centre of the British cotton industry in the 19th century, which lead to the urbanization of great tracts of the area. The cotton boom came and went, but the industrial profile remains.
