Reviews in Lancashire

I have eaten here on many occasions and the food is always good and great value for money, the service is not usually great but we keep going because the food makes up for this…..however I visited here on Sunday and have never been so disgusted by service in my life, my parents live in the lake district and I asked them to come to this restaurant with me specially as I had told them how great the food was and true to my word the food came and we enjoyed it but when we asked for the bill it all went horribly wrong usually we wanted to pay separately which obviously put the duty manager out and he made sure that we knew about his annoyance....after standing there being given dirty looks from the manager and feeling like I had done a terrible crime I asked him to take a further £15 off my card and that a smile would be nice when in return he scowled at me and said what!!!! I thought oh dear I have obviously really upset this guy for some reason so I asked him why he was being so rude and he replied that I was being rude him which I was certainly NOT…..he acted in this disgusting manor in front of lots other diners making me my family and everyone around very uncomfortable!!!! My advise is if you are not a placid person and you want some kind of customer service don’t eat here if you want good food and you can cope with arrogant angry manager that make you feel like you are putting them out because you are paying customer eat here!!!!!!

Are we being looked after? That is how you are greeted at Mitton Hall, If not why not that is Andy's second question, we were offered dinner, drinks or a big fat gin! One could get easily mistaken for thinking we were at a friends house. I dare anyone to to find fault with what happens at Mitton from entry to exit. Wonderful food, excellent service (Katy? I think) but everything from G&T to Cappuccino you cannot fault. Brilliant! Thank Andy it's Friday!

Ferrari, Aston Martin, Hummer and a sports Lotus in the car park, One could be mistaken for an expensive photo-shoot but this is just an average Saturday night at Mitton Hall (we were informed by our pony-tailed barman), The new revised menu and cocktails to order, whether on the list or not, were superb. Try something different this Saturday but book in advance, because you need to. Absolutely wonderful!!!

Sorry to say, but not a genuine Italian

I have been to this pub several times, and I have always found the staff friendly and welcoming and the food to be excellent.

The best restaurant since 1977 it was in the other side of the road at number 16 the best pasta and pizzas of Lancashire, it made the history of the Italian food in Lancashire, and also it as been at school for all the Italians wich now have the restaurants in many towns in Lancashire .

We visited, the well oiled machine that is usually Mitton Hall to find a couple of major parts of the engine missing. The food was as always superb, the service was professional, but lacking the Lord and Lady (one at a wedding, one with her son) seemed to detract from our previous experience's. There wasn't the same calm and cool and sophistication as we now expect from such a venue. Hopefully it was a one off...

My boyfriend and I went to this restaurant after so many of our friends recommended it and while the food was excellent, we left disappointed because of the service. We booked a table for 8:00 on a Friday night and arrived at 10 to 8. As soon as we stepped foot into the bar/waiting area we were greeted by plenty of peculiar looks as we were the only 19/20-year-olds in the restaurant. We were kept waiting for about 45 minutes while there were at least 10 empty tables behind us and the hostess stood behind the bar chatting animatedly to an older couple. Only when the chef (who actually served us our drinks & hor h'oeuvres earlier) came back of the kitchen and had a very loud word with the hostess did she take our order and lead us to our table. Once at the table, my boyfriend pointed out that there was still cling film on our bread basket and even after the hostess came over with our drinks, the crumpled cling film was still left on the table. The food was beautiful but we couldn't help but feel that we'd been discriminated upon because of our age. On our way out, we passed those still empty tables and the hostess who was once again disregarded our presence. Needless to say, we will not be returning.

I spent a brilliant night here with friends. The staff were lovely, very helpful and the food was the best. I only managed to have one cocktail which was amazing but from the rest of my friends comments, so were all the others!! I would definitely come back here, even though I live in Manchester, it was that good!!

fantastic food and lush cocktails, great atmosphere and the staff where extremely hospitable. Definitely going back for more.

My husband and I have been regular diners at the Spread Eagle for over 11 years now and have found nowhere that comes anywhere near it's standard. The food is always first class and the staff are always so pleasant and respectful, which means a lot these days! We really do enjoy coming and recommend The Spread Eagle to all our friends.

We ate in this restaurant today and I can honestly say it is the worse meal we have ever had. I ordered an 'oven baked' potato and it had never seen an oven in its life other than a microwave one. It also cost £5.95 that was over the top I thought My husband had steak pie which was dry and the mash had lumps in it and the plate was swimming in cheap gravy The waitresses were surly and never asked if anything was OK. We often use Sugarvine and they had a glowing Sugarvine review in the window. This review was not dated so I presume it was from years ago. A very bad experience that will certainly not be repeated by us! The whole lunch also cost over £15 that was money thrown away in our opinion.

A gang of of visited this new baby of duks last week end it was amazing, the standards are just as high, and it was packed out standing room only at the bar, the food delicious, service impeccable, the choice of new drinks like whistling duck and duck pond brilliant. I had the most juicy fillet steak with a garlic sauce my friend had a some weird dish of stewy stuff, that chef made up for him, it shouldn't have tasted good, but it was out of this world, it had fruit and meat together --odd, Ramsey would have a fit, must be nice to be sure you can make anything taste so good and not be afraid to break the mold, the prices are also very good value our bill only came to £28.00 each and we had really nice wine and a couple of desserts between us, one was a large metal bucket yes bucket of summer berries dusted with icing sugar and served with chocolate dip! FOOD Heaven. You must visit you will not be disappointed, good luck duk, you have two fab places, by the way love the name POND, only got it after a few bottles of wine! ha ha We'll be back soon so watch out were coming for a lazy afternoon on the sofas and going to work our way through the menu

Wicked eatery. Great write up by Frank Turner from the M.E.N. They have opened up two more venues, one at the new Ski resort at the Chill Factore Manchester and also Marsden Road, Deansgate Bolton. Excellent 2nd review by M.E.N again! and june edition of Lancashire Magazine. 21st century Modern Indian Cuisine!

As one of a group of seven ladies who had lunch at Mitton Hall on Thursday 26th June i felt I must mention how wonderful the new look is. We were welcomed with freshly prepared Pimms and greeted like old friends. Our waitress Melanie was absolutely fantastic and our blue haired host Andy was wonderful. We had a selection from the different menu's and after lunch our host even provided a guided tour of the facilities. We will be back and bringing our husband's. Many Thanks Lucy

Cafe Artisan has a lovely relaxed atmosphere, great coffee and tasty well priced selection of sandwiches, paninis, and larger meals. Its also kid friendly, with a good healthy choice of sandwiches & salad (not listed on the menu) and toys/books to keep them occupied.

I've been to this restaurant many times. The food and service is excellent. All the items on the menu are numbered so its easy to keep track of what you've order - even better take a small post it pad with you and write down each item ordered.

Very nice food indeed. However the restaurant was smokey, the service was slow, becoming inattentive and the live music was awful. Once again another disappointing Chorley restaurant that is overpriced and overrated!
