The Borough

About The Borough

The Borough sits on Dalton Square in the heart of Lancaster — a large, south-facing beer garden (200°) that catches the sun from late morning right through the afternoon. The garden is one of the biggest in the city centre, with heaters and a covered section meaning it works in almost any weather. A fire pit keeps the atmosphere going well into the cooler evenings.

The Borough is featured in our guide to the best Lancaster pubs — our editorial pick of the 17 city pubs grouped by character.
