An historic Bamber Bridge pub has reopened with new food and drink options after an extensive refurbishment.
The Walton Fox, on Craven Drive, Bamber Bridge, now boasts a refreshed dining area and revamped beer garden along with what pub bosses described as “sophisticated interiors, and plush, comfy furniture”.
The pub has undergone a complete transformation inside and out and owners Vintage Inns say the refreshed design honours the historic charm and scenic setting while introducing a bright, contemporary touch.

Historically, The Walton Fox claims to sit on part of the site of the 1648 battle between the Duke of Hamilton and the Parliamentarians, led by Oliver Cromwell.
To this day, the pub proudly serves as a central hub for the local community and continues to welcome furry friends, with dog treats and water available on request, making it the perfect pit stop for dog owners, before, during, or after a leisurely country walk.
Along with a new appearance, it is also offering a revamped menu with options such as signature skewers, Moroccan-spiced chicken breast, garlic king prawns, grilled halloumi & aubergine, and tender lamb rump. For those looking for hearty favourites, the menu also includes a flavourful Katsu Chicken Rice Bowl and a classic Chicken Parmigiana.






Asahi lager has also been introduced to add to the exciting range of cask ales, fine wines and British gin.
General Manager Lindsay Campbell, who has been at the pub for six years said: “We’re thrilled to welcome both our returning guests and newcomers to experience The Walton Fox new, updated look.
“Whether you’re after a charming setting to enjoy high-quality dining or a warm corner by the fire to enjoy with a drink, our pub has something for everyone. The Walton Fox is the ideal place to make memories with family and friends, whether you’re just popping in for a pint after a country walk or a meal to celebrate a wedding anniversary.
“Our beautiful, historical surroundings also provide the perfect backdrop for savouring the hearty, seasonal yet classic British pub-food on our menu and the hand-picked cask ales and fine wines served at our bar. All served by our fantastic, customer friendly team.”
The pub can host up to 56 covers inside in the bar area and 123 covers in the restaurant and 120 covers outside for both lunch and dinner and also has a dining area that can be hired for private parties and seat up to 30 people.
