Plenty of space for the whole family
We are proud to look after a building with such a long-standing story in the village. Originally opened back in 1930 as the XL, this site once held the Guinness World Record for the shortest pub name in the country. Now, as a JW Lees pub, we are continuing the tradition of the Bellflower being a hub for the community. We are focused on making sure it is a space that is just as welcoming for a big Sunday lunch with the family as it is for a quiet pint by the fire.
Being part of a heritage family brewery means we take the bar seriously. If you are after a well-kept cask ale, we have always got JW Lees Bitter and our golden MPA on tap alongside our crisp Manchester Craft Lager. If you fancy something a bit different, we also pour small-batch beers from The Boilerhouse microbrewery, which are great for settling in with.
When it comes to the food, we keep it honest and filling. You will find all the classics you would expect, like John Willie’s beer-battered fish and chips, or our iconic Brewery tower burger, but Sunday is when we really get going. We are big believers that you cannot have too much of a good thing, so our roasts come with bottomless gravy and as many Yorkshire puddings as you can handle.
NEW DISHES
Book your table
Hungry? Our new autumn menu brings together proper pub classics with a few new dishes to get stuck into. From our Ham Hock with mustard grain gravy to a proper Fish & Chips or one of our classic pies, there’s something for everyone who loves good, hearty pub food. And don’t worry if you’re someone who already knows exactly what you want: all those timeless favourites we do so well are still here. There’s also our excellent value set-price Cosy Menu, running Monday to Friday to make those midweek catch-ups all the more enticing. Whether you’re catching up with friends, enjoying a family meal or simply fancy a proper pub dinner, pull up a chair and make yourself at home.
And of course, there’s always room for pudding. Our dessert menu has had a little revamp too, with tempting treats like our Chocolate S’mores, packed with chocolate and toffee goodness. Some things are just too good to change, though, so our Sunday roasts are still served with all the trimmings, including unlimited Yorkshire puddings and bottomless gravy. So, who will you be tucking into our new dishes with?

Shuffleboards
If you are looking for something a bit different to do while you are here, we have full-size shuffleboard tables ready to go. They are a great way to spend some time with friends or family, whether you are playing a quick game before your food arrives or making it the main event of your afternoon. The game is easy to pick up but takes a bit of skill to master, making it perfect for a bit of friendly competition. You can book a table for £10 for an hour or £6 for 30 minutes. Just ask the team when you arrive or speak to us about reserving a spot if you are planning a get-together.
COSY MENU
As the nights draw in, there’s nothing better than settling into a cosy pub with good food and good company. Our Cosy Menu is perfect for those midweek catchups, with two courses for 16.95 or three courses for 19.95. Choose from comforting starters, hearty mains and delicious puddings, then sit back, relax and let us take care of the rest. Whether it’s a catch-up with friends, a family meal or simply an excuse to escape the kitchen for the evening, there’s plenty to tempt you. So why wait for the weekend? Find a cosy corner, enjoy some proper pub food and make your next midweek meal one to look forward to. Who are you bringing along?

Explore The Bellflower
A traditional family and dog friendly pub
We are located just off the A6, making us a handy spot to pull into, whether you are travelling between Preston and Lancaster or you have been out for a stroll through Garstang. We are only a short walk from the canal, so we often see people stopping in to refuel after a morning out with the family and the dog.
You can settle in next to one of our open fires with a well-kept pint of Bitter or a glass of wine, or if the weather is on our side, you can head out to the garden. We have a large veranda and plenty of outdoor seating where you can wrap up and just watch the world go by. Whether you are joining us for a full meal or just a quick break in your journey, there is always plenty of room to relax.
Our Brewery
As a JW Lees pub, we take plenty of pride in the beer we pour. We carry the full core range from our brewery, so whether you are after a classic cask ale like JW Lees Bitter or a cold pint of Manchester Craft Lager, we always have something fresh on the taps.
If you want to try something a bit different, we also host seasonal ales and small-batch brews from The Boilerhouse. This is where our brewers get to experiment with new styles and flavours, making it a great choice if you are looking for a new favourite. We have nearly two centuries of brewing experience behind us, and we ensure that every pint is kept and poured exactly as it should be.
Don't just take our word for it...
