PARKER’S ARMS HOTEL NEWTON-IN-BOWLAND


Tel. Staidbuni 236 Pro. Mr. and Mrs. A. GLYN JONES


A hotel of charm and antiquity, which lies at the foot of Waddington Fell.


The pleasure of dining is enhanced by the extensive views from the dining room.


Dinner (Saturdays or by appointment) ... from 21/- Lunches, Afternoon Teas and High Teas served daily WEDDING RECEPTIONS AND PARTIES A SPECALITY


How to


get there The Parker’s A rms


The best of country


hospitality By a staff writer There arc two kinds of


country pub, one entirely dif­ ferent from the other. The old, traditional type


is furnished with wooden benches and wooden tables, round which the locals play dominoes, or darts. More lately a new breed


of country pub has sprung up, where less fortunate townspeople can enjoy the delights of an excellent meal in pleasant surroundings.


The Parker’s Arms Hotel,


Newton is one of the rare hotels which manage to com­ bine the two with a nice bal­ ance.


POPULAR


Too often, a simple coun­ try pub “goes grand”, does


a big conversion job, builds a dining room, and com­ pletely forgets the locals who


have been regulars for years. Not so the Parker’s Arms.


The old tap room has been retained, even though it is separate from the well- appointed lounge and dining room, is still very popular among the villagers


The lounge is extremely


comfortable, and the service at the amply-stocked bar was excellent, in spite of the fact that our visit was made on a


very busy night, during one of .the village dances, which arc held in the institute.


The hotel bar becomes so


full on these dance nights that the licensee and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. A. Glyn Jones,


warn people booking meals that they may prefer to come ’tnbtfef night.


APPETISING But oh our visit at least,


the youngsters in the bar were reasonably quiet and well-behaved, and caused little disturbance to the more sedate customers.


The menu for dinner in­ cluded many . appetising


items. Wo chose one pate inaison, one soup; one prawn cocktail and one fried fillet of plaice, and one grilled


rainbow trout and one roast duckling a Torange.


Also on the menu were


scampi, salmon salad, roast turkey, and for a small extra


charge T-bone steak.


EXCELLENT From the wine list, which,


thouch small,, contained a


wide choice, we picked a half bottle of Nuits St. George. Service was excellent. We


got our first course: almost as soon as we had sat down,


and the efficiency was main­ tained throughout the meal.


The main course was well-


cookcd in both'instances, and accompanied by a generous helping of vegetables. T o follow, we h a d


meringue glace, although there was a wide choice of sweets, with apple or cherry pic, banana split, sherry


Hotel is situated in the centre of Newton Village, surrounded by pleasant areas of village green. Approaching from the


direction of Waddington Fell, you sec the hotel frontage facing you. Newton village itself lies


Cho,tt>urn


between Slaidburn and Dunsop Bridge, in an ex­ tremely attractive area of Bowland. The most direct route


from C l i t h e r o e is via Brungerley B r i d g e to Waddington, and straight over the fell. Ap p ro ac h in g from


Whalley or Hurst Green, m o t o r i s t s should go through Mitton and Bash- all Eaves to Whifewell, and then on to Dunsop Bridge and Newton. Grid reference of the


hotel on the Ordance Sur­ vey map 95 is 697504.
