A spacious former Greenall's inn on the A59, the Hesketh is now a free house serving up to six ales mostly from local microbreweries. Set in the charming village of Rufford, it is near to the National Trust property of Rufford Old Hall, the delightful St Mary's Marina, and the popular Mere Sands nature reserve. A large split-level pub with several dining areas, the pub serves good quality food throughout the day. Monthly live entertainment and a Tuesday quiz attract a mixed clientele.
