The Three Fishes

What The Three Fishes does

The Three Fishes is a single-site, fine-dining restaurant located in Mitton, Clitheroe, in the Ribble Valley, Lancashire, United Kingdom. The restaurant operates a farm-to-fork concept centred on an on-site one-acre organic kitchen garden that propagates heritage seeds and supplies vegetables, herbs, salads, and orchard fruits (via an accompanying edible forest) to the kitchen for use in the menu. The kitchen is led by Chef Patron Nigel Haworth, who is celebrating 50 years in the culinary industry in 2026 and previously held a Michelin star at Northcote for over 20 years.

Core offerings consist of a seasonal 5- or 7-course tasting menu (with an optional wine pairing at +£50 to +£55 per person) and an à la carte 'Choice Menu' for more casual visits. The restaurant also generates ancillary revenue through ticketed experiences, including a recurring monthly Jazz Sunday lunch (£65 per person), June–September Garden to Plate workshops (£100 per person), one-off guest chef dinners (e.g., Gary Usher in September 2026 at £120 per person), an August Bank Holiday four-day programme, gift vouchers, and private dining bookings. Pricing is publicly disclosed in GBP and reservations require card details with a 48-hour cancellation policy.

Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the restaurant website, phone/email reservations, and organic social (Facebook, X, Instagram), supplemented by third-party credibility via listings in the Michelin Guide, AA Rosettes, Top 50 Gastropubs, Hardens, and The Good Food Guide. The company is privately held with 11–50 employees, a UK-only operating geography (England), and no disclosed external investment, parent company, or public listing. There is no evidence of AI/ML or proprietary technology beyond the physical kitchen garden; the business model is fundamentally a hospitality operation monetising a single physical site.

• The Hand and Flowers: Tom Kerridge's two-Michelin-starred gastropub in Marlow. Comparable as an established, award-driven UK gastropub with premium tasting-style menus and a strong chef-led brand, though at a different price point.

Emerging players

• Hispi: Flagship restaurant of Gary Usher's Elite Bistros group and the chef The Three Fishes is partnering with for the 2026 guest dinner. Comparable North West dining brand with a chef-led identity and strong regional following.

• Northcote: Michelin-starred Lancashire restaurant where Chef Patron Nigel Haworth held a star for 20+ years before leading The Three Fishes. Direct predecessor brand with the same farm-to-Lancashire-produce philosophy and same chef DNA.
