Another lovely meal, never fails to impress! We visit regularly as we are lucky enough to have this lovely inn on our doorstep . Busier than usual so Lindsay did an excellent job on her own, still managing to smile and chat! You are very lucky to have her!
3 Millstones Inn – Clitheroe"Tried to get in sooner but were looking forward to it very much! Booked for Wednesday tea time, arrived for 5:30. Brilliant decor, wife loved the music. Plenty of seating outside but light drizzle deterred! Bit of a mix up with booking but soon sorted! Would have preferred a wall table, but in middle of room! Dan J in his open plan kitchen. The all female hospitality team could've done with a bit of leadership training - a bit diffident! I wanted a beer, they told me the lagers. I struggled to explain! 3Bs Brewery only a mile+ away? Not sure where Brixtons brewed but it was quite nice (£5.75?) Only option. We went tapas route, ordered five & that was just enough with a shared pudding! Really enjoyed it! Good quality! No fresh fish options! Holly seemed to warm up as FoH, nice young woman! Why didn't Dan J have a mini wander round his clients? Add to our experience? The people (quite close) around us were on steaks or burgers & seemed very happy with them. Decent range of wines. Bar area packed & all eating seating taken. We'd done by 7 having had a great culinary experience! A small service charge (5%?) had been added, it gets shared out amongst staff. Took cost just over (£100) - we were happy with VFM. The toilet for mobility needs people deserves special mention! Brilliant. We'll be back - but not to middle row of tables please! Since the Spread Eagle at Mellor has gone "chain" this may be its leadership replacement! Well Done!
CDJ Riverside Bar and Kitchen – DarwenLovely,comfortable place. Very welcoming friendly staff. The food choice was amazing.The food was excellent. Nice size portions and beautifully presented on the plate. The service was first rate. Fabulous place.
Quattro’s – OrmskirkHi ,we had a lovely meal ,although the service was very slow,taking orders ,was really slow,then they had run of of a few things and came back 10 minutes later to tell us,I was hoping to book a family meal,but with children and older people,thinking it not very suitable for us
Lunesdale Arms – Kirkby LonsdaleAbsolutely beautiful food, service and environment.
The Whitchaff Inn – RawtenstallWent on 6th August to celebrate our anniversary. The food was very tasty and well cooked. The service was excellent. The waitress looked after us really well. Only one point I told her that the ice cream I had was full of ice crystals which meant it had been left out of the freezer to melt and then refrozen.
The Traders Arms – BlackburnMy wife and I have been coming here for several years and the recent change of owners has not dented the experience. The food is made with much care and love. Excellent house wines are available. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and great service. We will be back many times.
Lunesdale Arms – Kirkby LonsdaleLovely family meal. Food and service was excellent. Thank you
The Waterwitch – LancasterOur first visit here and was great. The lovely interior to the lovely staff. Plenty of food to choose from the menu for everyone. Service was brilliant and food & desserts arrived with no problem. We will definitely be back.
The Whitchaff Inn – RawtenstallI booked a meal for 3 people to celebrate my husband's birthday and I wasn't disappointed The service was very good, but more importantly the food was amazing. We all said how much we had enjoyed it. Not only that but we also felt it was fairly priced So, much so we've booked again for another birthday very soon!
Verdes Restaurant – ChorleyAnother lovely evening. Great food, served by very friendly, professional staff. Always a pleasure to visit Quattros, special occasion or not. Everyone is helpful and kind whenever my elderly, disabled sister in law joins us.
Quattro’s – OrmskirkFrom first enquiring about a table for a family gathering of 22 to booking and last minute changes everyone couldn’t have been more helpful. On the day everyone enjoyed the food and the staff were lovely . Would definitely go again. Thank you to everyone at Maxy Farm
Maxy Farm Pantry & Restaurant – PrestonAlways lovely food. Thank you
3 Millstones Inn – ClitheroeCan’t sing their praises loud enough. Just moved into the area and ate here on Sunday evening with family, first visit, and it will definitely be our ‘go to’ pub and restaurant going forward. All our meals were really delicious, service is marvellous, really smiley, warm and efficient staff. The atmosphere was so lively and up-beat, it’s clearly well-frequented by many locals and visitors to the area - and it’s no surprise either! Highly recommended to anybody considering visiting, don’t hesitate, you won’t be disappointed!
Trawden Arms – ColneThis was the first time we visited for a Sunday Roast as we are up here dog sitting while are daughter and family are on holiday. This is a mixed review, the food what there was, was really good, I had roast pork and my wife had roast beef. The menu said with all the trimmings,? So the meat was excellent also the Yorkshire pudding and gravy, but 2 half small roast potatoes and a bit of mash? No carrots as they ran out and no apple sauce. So what we had was really nice but the portion size to a West Country Sunday Roast size it was small and the price was roughly the same to a West Country pub meal. Would I go there again, yes I would, the staff were excellent and the food was really good and tasty but the portions need to be a bit bigger and don’t hide the 2 small half roasties under the Yorkshire pudding. I thought Yorkshire people enjoyed big portions, but I suppose at the moment it’s down to cost, which I can understand. But in all we enjoyed the meal.
The Shepherds Rest Inn – TodmordenWe really enjoyed the food but the service was poor and let down the experience. We waited 45 minutes before asking someone to take our order, and nobody bothered to take our dessert order so we gave up and just got the bill from the bar. A shame as there was so much on the menu we wanted to try, but wouldn’t rush back to do so.
The Whitchaff Inn – RawtenstallUnfortunately there were very few options for veggies (apart from small plates/starters). Visited on a Sunday and would have loved a veggie roast as the roasts looked great but als no. Current problems with staffing may explain why my dessert was under par. Could have done with longer in the oven and not enough sugar.
Lunesdale Arms – Kirkby LonsdaleOk food.Sunday dinner poor selection of veg trimmings. We had high expectations due to the quote on website re master chef professional chef. Pub in need of an update. Toilets poor decor and a proper clean. Friendly staff but did have to ask for them to collect our plates and for the dessert menu. Over priced meal. We were left slightly disappointed.
