Reviews in Lancashire

Standard meal and nothing special. I thought the lady on reception was rude and nobody asked how the food was hence bad customer service. Staff seemed to look unhappy. Lasagna seemed like it was a microwave meal. The restaurant itself as in the decorative side was lovely. It is just ashame about the food and service. More training might be needed.

Exceptional food, sensitively prepared and cooked by a master chef.

Four of us thoroughly enjoyed a splendid lunch. The food was excellent, so tasty, served at the right temperature and paced well. The staff were professional, pleasant, attentive but not intrusive. The very comfortable surroundings promoted a pleasant ambience. It was a lovely experience in every way. We hope to return soon to try some of the other delicious sounding dishes on the menu.

It's a shame that the service was so poor because the food was really tasty. We were put in a back room/bar area away from the restaurant and all the servers seemed to forget about us. We didn't get served for over half an hour until we went to the bar to ask for service. We were then made aware we were given the wrong menu. We were told our drinks would be knocked off the bill due to the service issues. However they never were. The food came and it was delicious but the first time a server came over to check on us 75% on the way through the meal and we had never received the roast potato's on the Sunday lunch board. He said he would 'sort something' for the trouble. By the time we finished we were a bit fed up so asked for the bill as we didn't get anything 'sorted for us'. The drinks were still on the bill and had not been removed.

Food was excellent and staff were great, however the first table we were allocated had a small round table and low armchairs which would have made eating very uncomfortable. Another round table had become available so we moved there, because the chairs were much higher and better suited to dining. The round table however was no larger and as we were a party of 4, and two of us had sizzling dishes with separate trivets, there really was barely enough room for 4 dinner plates, 2 trivets and 4 drinks glasses. We had booked the table several weeks in advance so were at a loss as to why we had been allocated such a table, when virtually every other party of 4 or more were seated at much more fit for purpose rectangular tables. We mentioned our dissatisfaction to one of the waiting staff, and within no time, a lady (manager maybe?) approached us and offered us another larger table in the other dining room, which fortunately for us had just been vacated. We therefore eventually had a great night and a very good meal in a comfortable environment. I’ve no issues at all with the staff who were courteous and accommodating throughout; but I have to question the policy of seating 4 diners at such small tables.

Had a lovely meal here Saturday 16th September early evening. Great atmosphere on arrival and were shown to our table quickly. We asked for a quieter spot and they managed to get us a table in the snug which was appreciated. Three of us had the tempura prawns which were delicious and our remaining party had the bruschetta which was very good. Mains were two wild mushroom and spinach pasta dishes, one mussels and one sea bass. All excellent and served promptly after our starters, also drinks topped up efficiently. Overall a great evening in a lovely restaurant. Easy to book online with choice of times.

Me and my Nan had a lovely time here, it was our first visit but will definitely be back

Took friends for Sunday lunch. Our booking wasn't until 2pm and the beef option was unavailable which was a shame. Otherwise we had a fabulous time. The food was delicious and the staff were lovely. Would definitely go again.

Great food. Could be a great restaurant, but spoilt a little by amount of drinkers at the bar (I realise that's what it's going for) and one waitress.

Lovely lad served us very attentive and extremely polite. Food was delicious lovely pub will be back.

Been coming to Site since it first opened. Brilliant, friendly, super attentive staff and amazing food. Never had a bad experience there and doubt I ever will. See you again soon.

Had a fabulous meal at the lunesdale last evening (Sunday). A lovely welcome and a really pleasant atmosphere. We received great friendly and helpful service. The cost was really reasonable too. Very good value. This was my first visit but will definitely go again. Well worth it!

Took my 95 year old Auntie out for Sunday lunch. The food was fantastic and the staff really helpful and friendly couldn’t do enough for us.

A 5star meal Natchos are a must to try. Lovely please t staff Will be returning.

Great food best in the area

Only the second time we've been but everything about the experience was excellent. Polite and friendly service, food was very tasty, all reasonably priced as well.

A really friendly welcome, good choice of drinks and the staff did really well to remember what they had. Told us very early if dishes were running low and very quick service. The meals were very generous in size and lovely and fresh.

We came to the shepherds rest Inn on Friday your first year birthday/anniversary. Both me and my wife really enjoyed our meals, I had the shepherds pie, which was fantastic and my wife had the halloumi burger which she said was nice too. The staff were very polite and professional. Would highly recommend going and we will be going again and again. I didn't take the free drink as i was driving, maybe next time though!
