A Frozen Cocktail Upgrade for a Pub Full of Historic Charm

Located in the Millhead area of Warton, within the Warton Parish and close to the River Keer, Warton Crag, and the wider North Lancashire countryside, The Nib has become a favourite gathering place for people living in the village and those exploring the surrounding beautiful countryside, walking trails, and scenic routes stretching towards Morecambe Bay, Lancaster, and the Lake District.

With the support of Lancaster City Council, Lancashire County Council, and a strong local community, the pub continues to thrive as a friendly meeting spot with excellent access from the West Coast Main Line, nearby railway station, and major junctions connecting towns across the north, south, east, and west.

The addition of the frozen cocktail machine enhances the bar’s offering, bringing something bright, colourful, and perfect for both locals and visitors.
