If food, fun and football are your thing, then a trip to the Top Tier Grill will be as revitalising as a dab from the physio’s magic sponge.

Set in the Lancashire countryside, with beautiful views of the Pennines, this is the ultimate retreat for every football fan. Sports memorabilia and imagery adorn every wall, whilst numerous plasma and giant screens, capable of showing every game anywhere in the world, complete the theme.

The staff here are every bit as passionate about food as they are about the national game. All food is prepared fresh each day, and the kitchen team pride themselves on using only the finest local produce. Discerning meat lovers can choose from numerous cuts and weights of Top Tier’s juicy signature steaks, or tuck into something else from the grill such as whole sea bass or minted lamb chops. Those looking for a lighter bite to eat can choose from the distinctive range of burgers and salads on offer, or pick up traditional comfort food like butcher’s rag pudding or fresh fish and chips. Room must be saved for dessert, because tempting treats like banoffee pancakes or mixed fruit kebabs from the grill are likely to take your meal into extra time.

With regular events, entertainment and three function rooms available for exclusive hire, this restaurant is firmly established in the premier league. Italian
