Horns Inn, Goosnargh

Operator: Independent
Horns Lane, Goosnargh, PR3 2FJ (View on Google Map)

Ye Horns Inn is nestled in the heart of Lancashire and enjoys stunning views of the idyllic Ribble Valley. It is a Grade II listed pub dating from 1782 close to the Forest of Bowland. Renovated in 2021/2022, the existing charm and character of the historic building has not only been retained but enhanced as a country inn. Customers can enjoy a local cask ale and food in the pub next to the roaring fire, or go into the restaurant to enjoy the a la carte menu, with a focus on locally sourced produce and fine cuisine. Casual drinkers are welcome.

An inn dating from 1782 - the rings for tethering horses are still to be found near the entrance - and was originally part of a working farm. This pub appears to have been refitted in the inter-war period (possibly immediate post-war) and retains a rare snug (or 'parlour bar') where customers sit behind the bar counter while bar staff serve from the same room/space. Ye Horns Inn has been in the same family ownership since 1952 and the last change was in the mid 1950s when a partition that originally separated the main public bar from a corridor in front of the servery was removed.

The servery has an intact screened bar still with three rising panels, two of which are locked in an open position. The counter front is of classic 1930s brick in three sections separated by wooden strips. The door into the snug or room behind the servery is marked 'Private' so ask if it is possible to sit in this area - in the UK there are only two other similar rooms hidden behind the bar servery - the 'Inner Sanctum' at the Bridge, Topsham, Devon and the 'Select' at the Arden Arms, Stockport, Greater Manchester. This small room has a baffle as you enter, a brick and carved wood surround fireplace from the inter-war period, above it bar back shelving which looks like it could date from the 1930s, a panelled dado and a carved settle.

In front of the servery the main room is small with old fixed seating in one corner, a brick/stone fireplace that could date from the 1970s with a copper trim at floor level and a settle. To the left of the passage from the front entrance are two small dining rooms - the front one has the figure '4' on the door and has lost its fireplace; the rear one has '5' on the door and a 1950s brick fireplace. In the passage there is a small hatch with leaded windows for service from the side of the bar. Through a door to the right with '3' on the back of it is a hall leading from the side door on Inglewhite Lane and off this another small dining room which has a '1' on the door, a fine plasterwork ceiling and a inter-war tiled and wood surround fireplace. There is a large dining room on the first floor with another 1950s brick fireplace and also another small dining room.
