Tel. CHATBURN 202 (for enquiries and reservations) How to get there Half *. mile or so from the


Where the food matches the view . .


By a staff writer If,your- first visit to the


Spread Eagle Hotel, Sawley, is in. the dark—as it is likely to be,-.- now that we are approaching winter — then you really should return again in daylight to take in


the wonderful view from the dining5 rdohi’s huge windows. Not < that you .-will v need ■


much persuasion; the quality of--both"- food:-; and . service combine to provide an ex­ perience which you will be only too happy to repeat as


often as your purse will stand it


Eating at the Spread Eagle


is not cheap, neither is it ridiculously - expensive.


More important, it is


money well spent, and part­ ing with it is far less pain­ ful than paying a smaller amount for an inferior meal.


Antique The view to which we have


already referred is.that across • the River Ribble, from which


the. hotel is ..separated by only the width of a road. Three times the dining


area has been extended to cater for the hotel’s growing popularity. One wonders how long the adjoining rose gar­ den will last . . Diners arc accommodated


at antique tables and sit on antique chairs, which give the room a special charm.


The . menu is extensive,


and ranges from, good old roast: beef and ■ Yorkshire pudding (the Spread Eagle is just on-the right side of


. the - county;. boundary to guarantee, its authenticity) to


Poulct Frit a la Maryland. The beef is bought locally,


by the way, and is always to be recommended, says the hotel, Table d’Hote dinner costs


'25s. for four courses. Hors d’Oeuvrcs and coffee .are extra. Our meal was chosen from


■ to the demands on ithcSrtaftjV We . began, with ; paid -


the A la Carte section, not available on,,Saturdays;due


maison and prawn cocktail, resisting tile temptation to try “Gaffelbier“, which there­ fore remains a mystery.


Soups we also missed out,


although there are eight vari­ eties to choose from, includ­ ing kangaroo tail and shark’s


fin for the adventurous, v.fror/.our; main course we selected a fillet steak and


coq au vin—a half chicken cooked with mushrooms, onions, herbs and spices in red burgundy—which is one of the chef’s specialities. And to accompany them


we ordered potatoes and vegetables of the day, which turned out to be indifferent peas and a pleasant puree. Afterwards we had rasp­


berry tartlet and sherry trifle, both served with cream, and both excellent. Coffee followed. To accompany the meal


we had a half bottle of Vol- nay burgundy, a delicate red wine recommended by the hotel..


The wine list runs to some


90 different examples, and all the principal varieties are represented. For those who, like ourselves, are less than connoisseurs, a- useful * des­ cription is given of each bottle, The bill for all this, in­


cluding the 10 per cent ser­ vice c h a r g e ,


totalled


£4 0s, 9d. for two. We were well satisfied with


the meal, which was well- cooked and beautifully


served. . coffee ■ , .


Duo to;;redecoration, the ■ -.Jounge was tem­


porarily closed, but it is now open again, : Should ; you follow our


recommendation and visit the Spread Eagle Hotel, you are advised to book in advance, particularly at-the weekend. It is open' every day for


both luncheon and dinner, Sunday lunch being fully booked every week. A weekday luncheon menu


we saw at 15s. looked very attractive, with a- choice of 14 different main courses ranging from crepe ‘a la


with cheese - sauce—through... a variety of conventional;-., dishes" to- braised-'•''chicken- . with mushrooms at 2s. 6d.


rcine—chicken, 1mm and' mushroom-filled, pa/iCak-e


extra. - . - The-sample Sunday menu


we saw: offered lunches at 14s.' and 16s. 6d., and again there was a wide and inter­ esting choice. Not surprisingly, t h c


Spread Eagle Hotel has a long list of regular cus­


tomers. Having been there

busy A59, the Spread Eagle Hotel stands almost on the banks of the River Ribble at Sawlcy.


• . ; Its white painted , walls—


particularly when illuminated at night—make it easy to dis­ tinguish, even from a dist­ ance. The road to Sawley leaves


the A59 one-and-a-half miles north of Chatburn. The turning is well signposted, and there is a slip lane-from the triple carriageway. Alternatively, the hotel


may be approached from the Bowland villages' of Grindlc- ton or Bolton-by-Bowland. Grid reference of the hotel '■


is 776465. *
