Fast Food (KFC, McDonalds, Subway, Greggs), Starbucks + Co-op Supermarket + Fuel - Directly Opposite the Holiday Park:
ADDRESS: Whalley Road, Barrow, Barrow Brook Business Park, Clitheroe. BB7 9WF - Super convenient, literally directly opposite the holiday park, on the other side of the A59, is Barrowbrook Park, which has a number of recognised eateries. Really convenient for when you don’t fancy cooking, or just fancy your favourite take away food to keep you going. Each eatery also has an eat in option, if you can’t wait until you get back to your lodge !
The park is a 2 x minute drive from The Retreat - Please note that it is not possible to safely walk to the park, as this would mean crossing the A59 road on foot, which would not be recommended.
Personal Recommendation: Kick back in the local Starbucks for a piping hot latte, or cappuccino & delicious skinny blueberry muffin in familiar, comfortable environment.

Located in Clitheroe, just a coupe of miles down the road. Famed for having the longest bar in Europe, housing up to 42 hand pulled beers! Cracking place, good bar food also. Can get busy on a weekend & sometimes it does take a while to get served, due to being so popular!
