While many places, including the likes of three-Michelin starred Moor Hall and Northcote celebrate local produce, often their menus feature many more exotic dishes than we knew growing up.
So turning back the clocks, we look here at some of the red rose county’s most traditional dishes and where you can still get hold of them.

5. Lancashire cheese 'door stop butty'
If you like your Lancashire cheese, head over to Light Ash Farm Shop and Cafe in St Michael's Road, Bilsborrow, where for £8.95 they offer a 'door stop butty' made from Greenfields creamy cheese served with a pot of Branston pickle. | Light Ash Farm Shop and Cafe

6. Lancashire Pasty
Perhaps less well-known than it's Cornish counterpart, the Lancashire pasty combines minced beef with soft-cooked potato, onions, carrots and peas, all wrapped in a flaky pastry case with a traditional crimped ridged top. It's available at your local branch of Greenhalgh's. | Google

7. Butter pie
Butter pies were created for workers from Lancashire's Catholic community, to consume on days (mainly Friday) when meat could not be eaten. They are made mainly from onions and potatoes encased in savory pastry. A posh version is often on the tasting menu at Preston's Aven Restaurant (formerly 263), which has been hailed as one of the best people have ever tasted. | CM

8. Butter pie
Dean's Bakery in Blackpool Road, Ashton-on-Ribble, Preston, is another place you can get a butter pie - this time in a more traditional guise. Food reviewers and locals alike come flocking to get the handcrafted delicacy, which is available for around £2.40. | Google
