The kebab shop on B'burn Rd, their veg is never frozen, wilting from the heat perhaps, but never frozen.

You will have a better chance if you go to a vegetarian restaurant which advertises 'vegetables in season'.

I don't know why you are averse to frozen veg - frozen soon after picking retains more nutrients than veg that has just been 'chilled'.

The restaurants to avoid are the ones who use microwaves - food loses a lot after 'nuking'.

Don't know about Accrington but the Sparrowhawk in Fence only use fresh veg and everything else is made fresh no microwaves. Certainly worth travelling a bit further for.

Long time since I`ve been there, but it was good grub, just not enough of it.

Well if it is long time since you were there try it again. Don't think you will be disappointed.

I will, forgotten all about it, thanks for reminding me. I`ve only been a couple of times, but the food was very nice. If I remember right, the menu tells you which farm or butcher they got the meat from.

Another nice out of town place to eat is The Swan in Whalley. Had many a nice meal there. It`s also a good sign when you go somewhere to eat, and they`ve closed the kitchen because they`ve ran out of food, which has happened quite a few times at The Swan.
It`s also been a while since I`ve been to The Swan, so I don`t know what it`s like now.

the best chance you get of getting fresh vegetables away from home would be a pub that does lunches that ISN'T part of a chain and independant

no idea where you will find one though but you could ask around for good pub grub then ring and ask if tehy use fresh or frozen
