Billy Bob's is fit with an ice cream parlour, pancake station, Coca Cola truck and yellow school bus
If you're lucky enough to have travelled to the States, you'll know they take their food and hospitality very seriously.
That's because there's a diner in Myerscough, a village close to Garstang and Preston that's offering the all-American experience - but you don't need your passport to see what it's like.Billy Bob's started life as a business in Skipton, where the original branch still exists. However, its owners, the Rogers family, decided to open a second in 2019, the one we visited near Garstang.
Already producing their own ice cream, Lucy's dad wanted to build somewhere for families to go and enjoy - which eventually turned into Billy Bob's. Owned by her dad, Gary and step-mum Mandy Rogers, the family have put their all into the diners - and it shows. Attention to detail is incredible here too, with school drop-off signs in the car park and even a raised pavement outside the building, something you'd see in America with their big cars that fill the roads. Outside, a blue truck sits on the grass showcasing Billy Bob's merchandise, a truck that's been shipped over from America.
Talking about her dad's trip to the States to find inspiration for the diner, Lucy explained: "He happened to be driving through Pennsylvania and through a field and saw on the side of the road these wooden toy structures. So he kind of slammed on and went in to speak to the guy. A huge real life Coca Cola truck is inside the diner, which had to be built around the truck as it's that big - and our motorways are too big for the vehicle too. Using their ingenuity and business acumen, the family hollowed the truck and made it into a seating area, where people can enjoy eating and drinking and pretending they're not in rural Lancashire.
