Reviews in Lancashire

Staff very hard working, disagree with 1 comment of a high staff turnover, we have been eating here for years & mostly the same staff have stayed there, other than that staff stay a few years then go to university - the same for any restaurant. Food is excellent, reasonably priced, nicely decorated, would recommend anyone trying.

We had an excellent meal at The Clog yesterday. A superior Ploughmans Platter to share for a starter. Followed by an exceptionally tasty Mutton Pudding with Black Peas and capers and A toad in the hole. The Chianti was good and reasonable at only £20. Great value considering the quality of food, service and ambience.

I have now stayed at The Stork Inn for several nights on 2 separate occasions while working in the area. The setting is charming, the accommodation was of a high standard, and the food was consistently excellent. However, what stands out at The Stork Inn is the consistent very high level of service (not just from Tracy, but from all the staff; even the gentlemen who look after the gardens and window boxes are welcoming and friendly). Tracy did all she could to fit in with the needs of someone working away from home. Like a number of others guests I spoke to during my two stays, I will now use this as a base whenever I am working in the Lancaster area . Highly recommended for either business or pleasure.

Enjoyed a fantastic meal at MJs for our silver wedding anniversary 17th Sept. 2008 the food just melted in the mouth Steve the chef was excellent as was the food, service and cost. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys fine food.

While shopping on Saturday we fell upon Tottos, what a find! this restaurant is a gem. the food was delicious and the staff made us feel so welcome. I would definitely recommend anyone to try it, value for money, we will certainly be going to eat there again.

Never had a bad meal, and we have been over 12 times now, and even the veg is outstanding, even when i steal it of my husbands plate, i love the atmosphere and the decor, well done to all involved this is the kind of place to go for a special evening not somewhere to go just to "eat"

What a great place with fantastic food and friendly staff. We have been a lot since they opened, both in larger groups and as a couple, and the standard has always been the same. Cant say enough good things about this restaurant, well worth a visit.

Had a fabulous lunch at Pond and had a Tapas duo menu great value at 2 dishes for £7, and then came again 2 days later with friends in the evening, both were fabulous, the variety on the menu is outstanding as one of us is vegan and one allergic to oranges! and i can't eat wheat, so to say we have problems eating together is an understatement, but i have to say that we shall go no further than Pond everything is fresh and they have looked after us with ease and an attentive yet approachable service which is second to none. The Pan seared lamb is delightful and the scallops in causa a dream, please put pond on your visit list its well worth it. We've booked our christmas do and are going again tomorrow.

Almost everytime I visit Preston I go to Tottos because they treat you as one of the family and food is always second to none! The cuisine is a mix of eastern European and Turkish and, as stated before, is always fantastic. But the best part is the ambience. The family open their arms and welcome you wholeheartedly and that makes for a wonderful evening. If you do find yourselves on Fleet St (right in the heart of town) pop in and try the Kleftiko. Delicious!!

I have eaten in this restaurant a few times now and the food has been excellent both times….I would recommend that you pay it a visit, the restaurant is well price and the service is excellent!! Give it a try you will be surprised as it is much better quality food than you normally get when attending functions here.

I ate here on Sunday with my friends, the service was good and the portions sizes are massive….well price and make sure you are very hungry before you go because you will be full to bursting when you leave!!!

I have eaten here on many occasions and the food is always really good, however on Saturday night I just wanted a takeaway from here and fancied a change but couldn’t find your Website or menu’s anywhere, after about 20 mins trawling the Internet and finding nothing I went to the Chinese takeaway in Baxenden, do you have a web address so that you don’t lose my business again??

There are perhaps a half-dozen truly outstanding restaurants in Preston (Duk/Pond, Sakura, and at times, Moka, So, Cafe Bar, and the Chop House), but there is one which separates itself from the crowd in terms of ambience, friendliness, and a general determination to make you feel truly welcome and appreciated.... and that is Totto's. I have sampled all that Preston has to offer over the past 3 years, eating out 1-2 times per week, but Totto's remains my first choice. Niko and has team always offer an outstanding atmosphere, always make us feel appreciated, and always provide warm, inviting, and tasty food, each and every time. The value is second-to-none in Preston. I have taken any number of visiting dignitaries from around the world to Totto's, and Niko and crew have never failed to leave a wonderful impression. Get there and support the best of Preston!

We chose The Pines to celebrate a family birthday, and twelve of us spent a very enjoyable Sunday afternoon here on a beautiful sunny October day. After drinks in the airy conservatory area, we were seated in a private side room, which was perfect for the occasion and were looked after very well indeed throughout the afternoon. The food and service were good, and I would highly recommend The Pines for a special family occasion.

We have had many a Sunday lunch in Lancashire but the best roast beef in years was devoured at the Bay Horse ! It wasn't cheap but it was quality.

Four of us dined here on Saturday night. We had Poppadoms with chutneys to start, 2 x mixed kebabs, chicken tikka & Chicken pakora as starters, which were beautiful and very tasty. Us girls had chicken korma & tikka massala and the guys opted for the 'Aji Baji' chicken tikka special which was lovely & plentiful. For this, including rice each, 2 large naan breads to share (9inch each so too much for 1) & 2 rounds of drinks came to a £98.00. The service was very good and the waiter asked if we would like a 10 minute break before our main course was served which was much appreciated. I think the biggest let down was definitely the decor and toilets. The website is very impressive, but upon entering, not at all what we were expecting. The lovely conservatory was not open, (looked like it was used for parties only) the purple doors were a bit garish and the 'bamboo' theme a bit tacky. I remember the toilets from my visits to it's predecessor - the rose and crown pub and that was nearly 15 years ago. At the prices they are charging, it would be nice for them to at least give the main dining area and toilets an overhaul to make the dining experience even better.

My friends and I visited Totto's on a works leaving do on the 17th October 2008. It was our first time there and we certainly weren't disappointed! The staff were very hospitable and interacted very well with all their customers equally, so much so in fact that they made the experience unforgettable. Also the food and presentation was great. I will definitely be returning and will recommend Totto's to all my friends.
