Reviews in Lancashire

Me and my family spent a fantastic evenings dining here. The service from the well trained staff is impeccable. The food is very reasonable and worthy of awards in my opinion. The setting of this country pub is lovely and many an afternoon/evening could so easily be whiled away taking in the views whilst dining outside in the garden or tasting the many local ales the pub offers. Well worth a visit!!!

We really adore the food in this restaurant. The staff are very friendly and outgoing. We have been customers for nearly five years and we come and taste this lovely food every week. The recession does not stop me from eating my favourite food!

Well worth the trip from Manchester. A really lovely restaurant with cheerful, friendly staff. The seafood tapas starter was the highlight, closely followed by a perfect sirloin main course. A good selection of well priced wine and a good pint of real beer was bonus. It wasn't as busy as the quality of food merited. Highly recommended.

Came across the restaurant out of pure chance, thought it looked OK from the exterior, but what i surprise when we stepped inside. Saturday night at 7pm, managed to find a table for two almost immediately although it was reassuringly busy. One of the nicest meals I've had, definitely the best Chinese anyway. Table service- faultless, and food was promptly served, fresh and delicious. All without the heavy sleepy feeling after many Chinese meals manage to achieve. We eat out very often, however it is not the place you could visit every week in regards to price. But i would certainly be inclined to visit once a month after the lovely experience we had. Our best discovery yet! Just goes to show being a little adventurous pays off every now and again.

I have been here a few times and this time I decided to dine here, the restaurant/cafe had a real buzz and all the food looked so delicious that it was difficult to make a decision. There is plenty of choice for everyone…a little on the pricey side but was definitely value for money!

We visited this restaurant on Saturday 20th June. The atmosphere was good, staff were friendly, food was reasonably priced. They had a special deal on 2 courses for £16.95 which was good value. The food was very good! Presented to a very high standard too. Lamb was overcooked but that was the only complaint on a table of 6. There are lots of dining seats upstairs so don't be put off if downstairs looks busy. I will definitely go again.

Having read numerous good reports,I decided to visit the Spread Eagle for Lunch. However, whilst the interior and staff was quite pleasant, I'm afraid the food was disappointing.Additionally, for a lunchtime menu it was well overpriced,especially when most reputable eating places reduce prices for their lunchtime menu. All in all,basically it's a pub playing at being a top class restaurant. Needless to say in this respect, it fails quite badly.

A party of eight of us attended frankie and bennies only to find the staff were not the best, it is an italian so you would expect the usual being offered black pepper, parmesan but the truth was one of the party asked for balsamic vinegar and was passed your ordinary malt vinegar i asked for Parmesan and was looked at like i was from another planet, another member of the party asked for a doggy bag to take home and had to transfer the food herself into the box. I had requested a slice of cake with all the works for my friends b-day but because we had mentioned that a pizza was burnt we ended up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream with a candle shoved in the top. Not the best place i have dined in a long time.

I would recommend Aroma as one of the top Indian restaurants in Lancashire.As you step in,you are greeted by perhaps one of the best looking interiors in Lancashire,with an indoor balcony which you can dine on,plus a swanky bar and many other brilliant features.As you sit and wait for your curry or starter,there is a flat screen TV which shows you the chefs actually making your food.When the food came,it came on fine plates,and my lamb rogan josh was beyond words in presentation,texture and flavour.It is surprising how good value for money is at Aroma too,considering the looks of the restaurant.I gave full compliments to the manager Mahjeed,saying how polite staff were and how impressive the Aroma was as a whole.I would recommend Aroma to anyone in Burnley,or anyone visiting Burnley.

Hi my wife and I came for a meal on Tuesday the 16th June to celebrate out wedding anniversary, I wanted to say thank you for a fantastic meal and great service, we really enjoyed ourselves, the food was brilliant so give my regards to the chef, and the staff were very efficient and helpful, we will definitely be back.

Very nice pub, i come here frequently and have never been disappointed. The service is Excellency and so is the food with big portions always served. Nicely decorated, could not think of one fault with this Pub, Would give it 10 out of 10

visited on a Thursday evening, so it wasn't too busy. good choice of pizza and pasta, but found the specials and meat/fish menu to be a little on the pricey side. ordered cannelloni, found it to be a little on the sloppy side, and the portions were quite small. Hubby had a bacon spaghetti dish, again small portions. left feeling a bit disappointed, and hungry!..

Visited here several times over the years and usually have the lamb, it's so tender and just falls off the bone. I've been with groups from work who have had different main courses and they all said theirs was good. No complaints about the food , but the restaurant is very dark with minimal lighting which makes it difficult to read the menu, especially if its winter and dark outside.

I went to the Dolphin for lunch with a pal and her 5 year old daughter last month for lunch. I arrived about half an hour after the restaurant claimed it opened and was completely ignored by the staff. There was another couple who had arrived shortly before us for a table and were treated exactly the same. Disgusted, I left for San Marco instead where I had a fantastic meal. I'll never go again.

My wife and I consider this to be the very best Fine Dining in Lancashire. We have visited on several occasions and are always made extremely welcome by the attentive, but not intrusive, staff. The eating experience is out of this world for excellence and a calm and tranquil ambience if all around. Highly recommended to anyone liking gourmet food served in an unrushed atmosphere.

After being completely ignored by the staff at the Dolphin Inn, Longton, I drove to San Marco and thank god I did. The food was fantastic, the staff extremely friendly and the service wonderful. Me and my pal brought along her 5 year old daughter and the staff were great with her. Definitely going back!

The food is really good and everyone is really friendly! There is no lack of the same quality for take-away meals either... I recommend the Masala absolutely!
