Morris Dancer - the Heart of The Village

The Morris Dancer is now a family run business. Unlike previous tenants we are here for the long term and hope that our commitment to the business and the community can be seen visually through the cleaning and redecoration that has taken place on the exterior and interior of the building. On top of that we have also removed the less desirable clientele who were previously using the premises. The Morris Dancer now has a very warm, relaxed and friendly atmosphere, which has resulted in the return of many locals who have not been in The Morris Dancer for many years.

As a result of all the hard work the restaurant has also re-opened and has been named SEASONS, to reflect our desire to provide varied seasonal menus. As well as the restaurant we also have an extensive bar menu at very affordable prices. You can now also enjoy a morning cappuccino from 10am.

Don't miss out on the Best Kept Secret in Kelsall. A warm and relaxed atmosphere, food at reasonable prices, logs fires, real ale and family friendly - what more could you want in the centre of the village?
