Here at Brockholes we believe in good, honest, simple food with great service in spectacular surroundings.

We make as much food on site as possible from fresh, local and seasonal ingredients. Our Kitchen team are always keeping their eyes open for what’s in season and what’s available locally and as you would expect, our team are equally conscious about the environment and always try their best to keep the food road miles as low as possible.

We make sure our menus are inclusive and cover all tastes. That’s why we cater for your special day with BBQs, carveries and afternoon teas where your guests get to choose on the day – it also saves you the hassle of having to chase uncle Phil a week prior to your wedding for his menu options! We have handpicked a selection of fabulous drinks for you and your guests to enjoy at your wedding and we will always provide a selection of wines, fizz, beers, ciders, premium spirits & mixers and non-alcoholic drinks.

For your evening celebration, we want you to relax and focus on the party. We offer a range of tasty options, including our speciality Northern buffet – which of course includes some tasty Lancashire Hot Pot.

Want to know more? We are ready and waiting to help you create a day to remember.

BBQ Wedding Breakfast

Flavour, theatre and authenticity – our BBQs consist of items such as our gourmet hand-pressed burgers that are flame-grilled to perfection. If the sun is shining then we go for a nice outdoor BBQ. If not then no worries, we will serve it indoors and our kitchen team will use our chargrill to ensure you still get the authentic BBQ flavour.
