About the employer
Opened by head Chef Ian Piper (formerly head chef at The Villa) and wife Shelley, the food served is modern English in style with a focus on local produce.
The restaurant itself is situated on the main high street of the picturesque market town of Garstang, the world’s first Fair Trade town, and as such Pipers strives to support this ethical stance by using fair trade produce wherever it can. The unique building dates back to the eighteenth century and still retains it quaint character and charm.
The restaurant opens for bistro style lunches between Thursday and Saturday and also offers great value three course lunches on Sundays. In the evenings we offer an a la carte menu which is supplemented midweek by a three course market menu with an early bird option.
