The Pickled Goose in Garstang Road, Barton closed its doors on November 22 last year after struggling with the escalating costs of gas and electricity. The owners said they were left with ‘no alternative’ but said they hoped to reopen at some point in the future when the UK’s energy crisis ‘settles down’. Now that time has come as the restaurant confirms it will reopen on Saturday, October 28.
Committed to sourcing as many ingredients as possible from local producers, The Pickled Goose was rated as ‘excellent’ on Tripadvisor after receiving hundreds of glowing reviews for its ‘wonderful food’. A typical Sunday lunch at the restaurant featured braised blade of beef with all the trimmings for £17, while its varied menu also boasted more exotic fare such as Kentucky fried guinea fowl with spiced fries and scorched corn.
