At the heart of the most popular holiday destinations for the English in their own country.

Lancashire hotpot is one of the most emblematic dishes of Great Britain. It takes from its place of origin a simplicity and subtlety, which is what makes it the favourite destination for English holidaymakers in their own country. The dish is so popular that it was apparently enjoyed as much by miners, who took it deep under the ground with them, as it was by the mill workers, farming families, and even the aristocrats who took it to the races as sustenance. Its simple preparation requires mutton, as would come from the sheep on Preston's coat of arms, the freshest ingredients, patience, since oven cooking could take up to a full day over a low heat, and a healthy appetite to savour this recipe, whose origin has been lost but goes at least as far back as the 18^th century.

The prestigious restaurant at the Best Western Premier Leyland Hotel offers a menu that pays homage to Lancashire cuisine and particularly to its hotpot, making a point of selecting ingredients from no further than 50 kilometres from the hotel. The hotel is very keen to promote the wonderful authenticity of Lancashire, in which it lies.

The building, which has a discreet elegance, delights its guests with an excellent setting and luxurious facilities. The classic furnishing and decor also gives way to some more quirky elements, which suit this distinctive hotel, such as the extravagant armchairs whose backs reach up to 3 metres high, the exposed beams of the luxurious restaurant, and the sumptuous four poster beds in the rooms, which one literally has to climb into to enjoy an unforgettable night's sleep. The aim of the Best Western Premier Leyland Hotel is to offer each of its guests a sophisticated and comfortable experience thus creating an unforgettable stay in Lancashire. The quality of the facilities in each room exceeds the usual standards expected, equally so in its bar, the J28 (named after Junction 28 of the M62 near to where the hotel is pleasantly located), and in the indoor swimming pool complete with sumptuous health club, where everything has been carefully thought out. The interior design of the hotel includes some beautiful photographs, which highlight the numerous attractions in the area, and a number of statues, rarely seen in a hotel but which add to its classic style.

All these details contribute to the privileged position of being able to enjoy all the charms the region has to offer as well as the sensation of being nestled in a relaxing and cosy setting. It is for this simple reason that the Best Western Premier Leyland Hotel has quickly and quietly become an incontestable example to hotels in the area.
