Welcome to the Boars Head, a 16th century building located in the heart of Hoghton, Lancashire, close to both Preston and Blackburn. We're a local village pub, situated just a few minutes away from Hoghton Tower, offering a warm welcome with exceptional, friendly service and hearty, locally produced and seasonal food.
Along with its heritage and beautiful timber interior, the Boars Head has timeless appeal and is believed to be one of the final overnight stops of the famous Pendle witches in 1612, before their eventual trials and sentencing at Lancaster. Today with its original oak beams, roaring log fire and traditional furnishings, the Boars Head is the perfect setting for that special occasion or simple get together with friends.

What an absolute delight if a place. Service was outstanding.
We came unexpected, was really busy. We know next time to book to secure a place. However a space was found for 5 of us.
Food included 3 children’s meals which went down a treat. Southern fried chicken burger and the cheese and onion pie was the adult choices.
Both plates were cleared, and by gosh I was so full. Special food was the three times cooked chips, you’d visit many many places before you got as good as they were. Last but not least the onion rings… beautifully fresh with bubbly batter. So full didn’t have room for

The best meal out I've had in years! The food was excellent and plenty, and you can taste the good quality ingredients. There's a good range of drinks including some very good less-widely-known ales. The staff gave excellent service as well as being friendly and warm! What a great experience, I'll definitely be coming again!

We had a lovely family meal here last night. Although the place was really busy it is well designed and felt very intimate. The meal was well presented, quite large portions and tasty. The bar service was a little slow and we had to keep going to the bar to remind them, but like I say they were busy. Would recommend this place, and it's advisable to book.
