The Plate serves a truly traditional English menu with a modern twist, and it goes without saying the provenance of all the ingredients is guaranteed which has led to it being awarded the highest quality assurance by Taste Lancashire.

Chef Brian Healy and his team start the day early at The Plate. Its specialty breakfasts are a popular draw to Mum's catching up with friends after the school run and business people taking advantage of the free Wi-Fi to access their e-mails before hitting the road. Early birds can enjoy a varied menu including porridge, full English breakfast, Scottish smoked salmon and scrambled eggs and Welsh rarebit.

At lunchtime The Plate comes into its own. Whether you're looking for a light bite or a main course there's something to suit every palette, including rib eye steak, risotto, pate board, salads and handcut sandwiches featuring delicious fillings – the children have their own menu too!

If you simply just want to enjoy a cup of tea or cappuccino and a mouthwatering cake then you'll feel right at home in one of The Plate's sumptuous sofas or chairs…The Plate is a cake lovers paradise, which makes choosing one very difficult.
