The Whitaker - Menu

Visited on: Weekend Wait time 1 hr+ Reservation recommended Not sure

Lovely little museum with nice cafe/ restaurant and friendly staff Visited on: Weekday

Excellent food! I visited on the weekend and there was no wait. Reservations are not necessary.

Superb evening. Glorious weather for drinks on the terrace. Then super evening meal....batter on fish to die for.....Then wonderful nostalgic JAZZ FILM.

Charming old-style gallery and museum that is definitely worth a visit. I went on a weekday, and there was no wait. I'm not sure if reservations are recommended.

The gallery is truly exceptional, featuring a diverse and captivating selection of artworks, all situated in beautiful surroundings. I had a wonderful afternoon there and can't wait to visit again soon! Wait time: None. Reservation recommended: No.

The restaurant is situated in a stunning location within an old manor house, surrounded by a lovely park. It offers both indoor and outdoor seating. The menu features a small selection of vegan dishes, with at least one option available in each category. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. However, there are a few peculiar decorations!

Visited today on my own with my two extremely well behaved Border Terriers. Had breakfast outside then wanted to pop in the shop to buy a vinyl LP, nothing about Dogs not being allowed on the entrance doors. I was stopped by a lady that abruptly said “you can’t come in here with them”, I felt really insulted for my beloved Pets. We take our Boys everywhere with us, more more businesses have woken up to smell the coffee realised there’s money to be made from making their businesses Dog friendly. Whitaker, you are in a rural setting, perfect for Dog walkers, you need to change your attitude. Andrew (Rossendale Resident)

This was a great find. A small museum in an old house, with a VERY eclectic collection of exhibits. On the ground floor the main attractions are the 19th century taxidermy collection, and the Room of Curiosities which is spooky, strange, eye catching, amazing, and distressing in almost equal measure. There was also a room with a contemporary conceptual artist's work, which I am usually not a fan of, but this was very well thought out and constructed. Upstairs they host local contemporary artists' exhibitions. On this visit it was a joint exhibition of three wonderful female artists' works a painter, a textile artist, and a poet. It was a fantastic grouping, each enhanced the others' work so...
