Jali is a first for Blackpool in that it's a fine dining Indian restaurant. The sumptuously decorated venue blends traditional and contemporary design elements and as a centrepiece has an ancient well that was uncovered during renovations. The menu, although Indian, is a far cry from your typical curry house fare. A sister restaurant in Hastings had an AA rosette, something which this award winning Blackpool restaurant has now also achieved. Jali has a fantastic private dining room that can seat 16 people, offers a takeaway service and there is also a new Signature Dishes menu available Monday to Saturday. The restaurant also holds both Excellence Through People and Taste Lancashire quality assured awards.Awards | 1 AA Rosette | Taste Lancashire

Southport’s brand-new four star Ramada Plaza Hotel has a fantastic location, close to busy Lord Street but enjoying splendid views out over the Irish Sea. Facilities include 133 bedrooms, a fitness suite, meeting and function rooms and the bright and airy Marine Brasserie which has its own sun terrace. The menu offers plenty of choice ranging from light snacks – served from 11am until 10pm – to dishes firmly based on quality local produce including sweet-cured lamb from H Greaves & Son, Fleetwood smoked mackerel, Goosnargh duck pressing, Reg Johnson’s smoked pork belly and a choice of grill steaks, burgers and beer-battered cod with homemade chips. The brasserie welcomes both hotel guests and non-residents and prices are very reasonable.

Blackburn’s Steak & Burger Company is, as the name suggests, a restaurant dedicated in the main to selling red meat. Their ethos is to provide top quality and simple ingredients that are locally sourced from the Lancashire area. The menu ranges from salads, sandwiches and jacket potatoes to seafood, 13 burger options -- including satay and tikka massala -- and six cuts of steak with a choice of 10 different sauces. Signature options include Pimp My Burger, where you get to tailor-make your own burger according to your tastes, and the Steak Tasting Platter which presents prime cuts of rib-eye, sirloin, rump and fillet served with steakhouse chips and a mixed beef salad. All the meat and chicken served is 100% halal. The restaurant is set over two floors and downstairs is perfect for large parties. This Blackburn venue is potentially the first of many Steak & Burger Company outlets.
