Give us some history about the pub:
We have been landlord and landlady of The Spinners at Cowling in Chorley for 10 years and we wanted another challenge so when the opportunity came to open The Cardwell we jumped at the chance. We opened The Cardwell in September 2019. The pub had never served food before so we introduced a traditional English menu and it’s gone down a storm. It’s been a difficult two years with being closed but during lockdown we carried on serving our customers with takeaways. Our customers have been very loyal to us and since reopening we have been busier than ever.
