Whether you're walking, boating, passing through on business or pleasure, or simply looking for a leisurely stop off we're perfectly placed to offer you refreshment and rest. Close to the Lancashire towns of Blackburn, Chorley and Preston, The Boat Yard Inn is easily accessible by road, rail or water! Our canalside location is a winner in the sunshine - sit back and relax with a long, cool drink as you watch the narrowboats and barges float quietly by. And if the weather's not quite so pleasant, we've got loads of room inside our bar and restaurant with a choice of comfy sofas or dining chairs and tables. With great value food made on-site from locally sourced ingredients, our menu has something for everyone and the quality of our food is superior. Our bar has four Thwaites beers on hand pump plus imported beers from around the world and we've got a great selection of lagers, cider, wines and soft drinks. And there's no rush to drive home after an evening at The Boat Yard - why not stay in one of our six recently decorated and well appointed rooms with their contemporary furnishings, luxury double or twin beds, LCD TVs and luxury en suite bathrooms. Then wake up to a hearty breakfast and grab a latte in our coffee shop before leaving.
