Reviews in Lancashire

We enjoyed a very good meal in beautiful surroundings at Mitton Hall. The only negative was that the food was lukewarm. However we did decide not to sit in the restaurant which probably created the problem. Well worth a visit. I am particularly looking forward to returning on a icy winters day to enjoy the huge roaring fires!

Fantastic value for money really nice dining area fantastic with my noisy 3 year old, the landlady a real gem, food is really good plenty to fill your belly with great portions, staff very pleasant, will def be returning xx

Well done to the chefs and waiters - we had a great night. Everything was perfect. Thank you.

Went to The Clog & Billycock last night and was thoroughly impressed. All 3 courses were delicious but the clear winner was the tripe, trotters and black pudding. The presentation of all the food was great but there was a very big wait for our desserts ... luckily it was worth the wait!

What a delightful find! The food is not expensive but is fresh & tasty and of a good sized portion too - I can recommend the Boerewors! The staff offer very good service & are family-friendly. Excellent play area for kids. Looking forward to our next visit from Yorkshire!

Situated on the Morecambe promenade, this small Chinese restaurant offers great food at reasonable prices. Only a few doors away is the "Honey Tree" chinese restaurant, which is much bigger, much pricier, and not quite as good.

Go to the Italian orchard for all special events new year, birthdays etc never had a bad meal always excellent and will be visiting again very soon.

I always like to be at the opening of a new ribble valley inn. So here i was with friends on a tuesday evening. I know that they were probably still bedding in. Therefore my gripes will have hopefully disappeared when i go the next time. For starters we went for the lightly battered cauliflower with a curry mayonnaise and the mini sausages. Love em. Then i ordered the ribs.. Gutted, they hadn't been cooked long enough. Still tough. Lets just say i'm using the three fishes ribs as the bench mark. Then i ordered the mutton pudding, absolutely gorgeous, the mutton tender. What completely spoiled it for me though was that it looked like they had used the sauce from the ribs with the peas in and covered the mash with it. The venue itself is what you'd expect from the RVI group. You cannot fault it. Oh and the Pinotage was at the right temperature and drunk a dream.

i wouldn't recommend going, i found there wasn't much of a variety on the menu, yes you get alot for your money but on the sign outside it says homecooked, i got a chicken curry with rice and chips the curry and rice tasted worse than a microwave one and the chips was frozen ones, i also waited 45 mins for them to bring desert which i thought was terrible theyd cleaned other peoples plates away who had finished and turned up after us. overall 3/10

We had a fantastic Golden Anniversary celebration for our parents with a party of 30 including 13 kids. The menu was tempting catering to all needs including 1/2 sizes for smaller appetites. Food excellent quality and tasty babotie! Nothing was too much trouble. Great beer garden and play area too. Couldn't fault anything. We'll be back!

I have been to Porcinis a number of times but last night was amazing. The new chef only started yesterday but has made a huge difference. Porcinis has gone from great to fantastic. I would recommend it to anyone. PS. It is open for lunch during the week too!

We went to Clog and Billycock the next day after their opening. We enjoyed the very British menu. I had whitebait for starters while my husband had the pork ribs with chick peas. Both were excellent and the quantities were big. I had the lobster from specials menu and hubby had mutton pudding for mains and they were deliciously cooked. Starting quibbles or teething troubles...I don't know but the waitress offered us to look at the desserts menu even before we got the mains!. And she did it twice?? Nevermind :) We had to skip the desserts as we were too full by this time. The wine list and beer list was good too. I recommend it highly, kids are welcome and its a great place for family meals. Its a very posh looking pub and they have refurbished the place with a bit of class and style.

Had lunch at the Railway yesterday, 16/09/08, and cannot praise it highly enough. The food was great and the staff attentive and caring. We had a baby with us and the staff seated us at a good sized table and couldn't do enough to help. Prices reasonable for quality of food too. Fudge with coffee to die for!! I'll definitely be back

I have just organized a surprise 40th birthday party for my husband in Tino's Function Room - it was fantastic! The Staff were brilliant (even at keeping the secret!) the buffet food was amazing - everyone at the party commented on how nice it was, and Mr and Mrs Tino really made it a special occasion - the function room is beautifully decorated and we were able to add our own party theme to it - i would highly recommend this restaurant/function room for a party.

A WARM RECEPTION,ALWAYS TREATED LIKE A LIFE LONG FRIEND, STYLISH AND CLEAN RESTAURANT, CHILD FRIENDLY, FOOD TO DIE FOR AND ALL AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE. THE BEST ITALIAN IN THE PRESTON AREA.

Great 2 for 1 deal before 7pm. New Season comes close to being an excellent place to eat. The restaurant is cosy and generates a good atmosphere. The food is excellent, all freshly prepared and it shows, very impressive. The service though, at least on the night that we visited, left a lot to be desired. The front of house staff were courteous, but not overly attentive, our glasses sat empty for long periods whilst we tried to attract service and our desert never arrived. We could easily have spent another £20 on drinks etc. That said the food and the atmosphere were sufficient to mask this.

The Farmers in Eccleston has a fantastic and varied menu, we have been on numerous occasions and have never been disappointed. Being a vegetarian who is often disappointed with the lack of choice and imagination on the menu, I am always pleasantly surprised when dining here!

Tried the Clog and Billycock on Sunday night. I've always wondered why this place has not done well - and in this refurbished guise it ought to. So, first impressions are good - well laid out, welcoming, unfussy and good decor. Bit of a wait for a table but handled well. Pleasant service and good wine list. Nice varied menu. Starters were ribs, whitebait and potted shrimps - all good, good portions and well presented - to be honest the ribs were probably the best and the devilled black peas were a good touch. Mains were veal, chicken and toad in the hole. OK portions, well cooked and presented although the plank is a bit OTT ( you'll know what I mean if you go). Desserts were lemon meringue and a superb ice cream - both excellent. House champagne is good value and good. Overall I'd say this deserves to do well as it provides decent value without pretension. Starters and desserts ( in that order) were the stars.
