Sunday Lunch
Dec 14
Sunday Lunch

In life there are three certainties: death, taxes, and the Cartford as your favourite Sunday roast destination (a place where you can also forget the first two certainties). See what’s on the menu this week…

Christmas Eve
Dec 24
Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve at The Cartford Inn - it’s not just another night, it’s the night. The busiest, and most special, of the year - a tradition like no other, where festive spirit takes centre stage.

New Year's Eve
Dec 31
New Year's Eve

It’s our favourite night of the year - and this year, we’re turning the dial up once more. New Year’s Eve at The Cartford is a little different to our usual service. It’s a ticketed event with a set three-course menu, live music, and that unmistakable Cartford atmosphere - lively, laid-back, and just the right amount of sparkle.

ALL EVENTS

The Friday Series

Every Friday we do something a little different. Sometimes it’s a night built around a cuisine we want to explore, other times it’s the return of a Cartford classic from years past. Most Fridays also feature live music, adding to the atmosphere without taking over. They’ve become the evenings where the inn feels at its most relaxed and sociable.

To avoid confusion: our regular à la carte menu IS available on all of these nights - our themed nights pertain only to our specials list.

N.B. Our Friday Series will continue in January, live music nights will continue.

Redefining Luxury: Lessons from the Founder of Mulberry
Redefining Luxury: Lessons from the Founder of Mulberry

Luxury isn’t about what glitters — it’s about what lingers. Inspired by Roger Saul’s reflections at the Independent Hotel Show, we explore how true hospitality lies not in extravagance, but in moments of meaning, warmth, and connection.

A Perfect Weekend in Lancashire: What to See, Do and Taste
A Perfect Weekend in Lancashire: What to See, Do and Taste

There are weekends when you want to do everything. And there are weekends when the world feels better slowed down to a walking pace—better viewed through a window, better tasted on a plate. The Lancashire countryside tends to encourage the latter.
