The owners of a Fulwood ale house have opened up about their ‘excitement’ to expand their portfolio to include an Ashton cafe and bistro.

Phil Robertson and Phil Binks opened Parkside Cafe, a licensed cafe in Ashton-on-Ribble, open daily from 9am to 3pm and serving breakfast, brunch, lunch, Wallings Ice Cream and takeaway coffee at 497 Blackpool Road.

Phil and Phily also own Crafty Beggars Ale House in Fulwood, located in the old Reeds Rains office in Garstang Road, with the pair renovating the interior in 2020 to offer a ‘steampunk’ feel.

Crafty Beggars Ale House Manager Chenille Mason said: “There are plans to extend opening hours to cater for an evening bistro menu in the coming months, which will be a well-welcomed addition to the Ashton area!

“With the summer months slowly slipping away, we’re hoping to have a few more sunny days to use our huge outdoor space at the back.”

Parkside Cafe offers full English breakfasts, sandwiches, pancakes, smashed avocado, paninis, salads and more, with vegan options available.

Chenille said they look forward to meeting those who wish to ‘pop in and say hello’ and what the future holds for the cafe and the surrounding areas.

The group are working on a dedicated website for the cafe, with the menu currently available on their Facebook page.
