197 Bistro is located on Todmorden Road in Burnley; the entrance to the car park is on a blind bend. Please drive slowly on entry, as it is likely there will be people walking, with this being one of the main entrances to the park. 

The car park is free for all diners to use, and you don’t need to pay & display. However, you must enter your car registration into the tablet in the golf shop on the first floor, please make sure you do this to avoid a parking fine. When parking all cars must be parked inside a designated bay; parking on the entrance road or outside of a bay may result in a fixed penalty fine. Additional parking can be found in the lay-by on Todmorden Road.
