Reviews in Lancashire

The best Indian restaurant i have ever been to and i enjoyed the food .The service was excellent the staff were spot on. The presentation was brilliant,i enjoyed the chicken korahi,the curry was very tasty,the curry was presented to me in a unique way. keep up the good work and i will see you in a few days.

Booked a table on the first weekend it opened and thoroughly enjoyed the selection that was available from the food and wine menus. We go regularly, at least twice a month and have a meal (with a bottle of wine to complement) Would also recommend the beef strips also - but make sure you have a glass of water to go with them as the plate has plenty on. Also I enjoy the prawn toast on many occasions. The staff are very courteous and always give a warm welcome. Glad to see many more people enjoying the delight when we went in on a Saturday night a few weeks ago - only just managed to get a table - however the service was just as efficient as usual.

We ate at Casa Tapas last night - early because it was fully booked. It was extremely good. We had about 12 dishes & although 4 or 5 were tomato based they each had a distinct flavour. The staff were all friendly & helpful & the atmosphere relaxing.We've been here often since it opened & never been disappointed.

Top marks as usual!

We go to Mangiamos often and absolutely love it. The food is always excellent, great value for money on the kids menu at £4.95 per child. The atmosphere is busing and the waiters are always friendly. Its the best Italian in this area by far.

Wicked place! Right by the canal. Great food.

Restaurant is lovely.A very Good selection of starters which all seemed good.The usuall choice of mains with some surprising colours in comparison to other restaurant. My friends Jalfrezi was very green and quite mild to taste. We did mention that it was quite mild and as he had said when taking our order that Jal means hot we thought it would be hotter, The gentlemen would not accept that it was mild and kept saying dont say it is mild. They did bring out another one but by this point we had all finished. Some of the rices did all taste the same and looked as if the individual ingredients had just been sprinkled on as per order. Overall it was good better than most.

This is very friendly & trendy bar only 2 mins walk from Bank street Rawtentall. There is a great selection of beers including draft Peroni & a selection of nice organic wines. The decor is cool and the ambience is perfect, there is also a great choice of delicious bar snacks too. The Comedy nights are the highlight with top class stand-up action from the countries best. Cheers guys and good luck - Dan & Gem.

Great little place, tucked away in Bolton centre. The food is fantastic and great value. The place has a real authentic feel about it too. We had an excellent meal and will certainly be going back !

My husband and I had the good fortune to visit Truffles for the 'Indian Gourmet Evening' on 28th March 2008. As long time and devoted customers of this restaurant it was hard to image that anything could surpass the usual excellenct standard of fare and service provided by James and his staff. My husband and I are great lovers of Indian spiced food, however, from the first, to the last course, we were given a taste of India that bears no relation to the usual meals served in traditional restaurants. The combination of subtle spices (the Sea Bass in Coconut & Coriander being a prime example), were a delight. We cannot fault the evening at all and, although we will be away on holiday for the French Gourmet evening we will certainly be booking for the Thai Goumet meal. If it in any way achieves the standard of the Indian experience we shall come away with a new respect for the cuisine of Thailand. Please try this restaurant. I can promise that you will not be disappointed. Yvonne & Tony G

The Whittakers Arms is a Family run pub which is warm and friendly atmosphere if your a regular customer or a new customer. The food is fantastic, homemade honest fayre, made to order. Everytime I have eaten there the service as been great the staff can't do enough for you and the food as been hot and thoroughly enjoyable. Well worth a visit!!!!

12 noon Thursday 6th March 2008 found us on the Car Park of this lovely place which used to be a 'watering-hole' for my wife and me in our 1960's courting years. 12.03pm found us in the establishment, warmly welcomed and left to find our own table for two by a lovely fire. A relaxed drink whilst ordering our meal was complemented by the pleasant personal service. We were lucky. At 12.30pm, most all of the tables were in use and, this isn't a small place. Fish and Chips was the order of the day for us and lovely they were. We were more than satisfied with our service and meal and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys good local 'fayre'. As for the 'fish un chips' this could only be equalled by the Ship Hotel at Elswick on the Fylde and the Greyhound at Halton near Lancaster. Michael T. Loose

For lovers of fine wine and food, Mitton Hall is among the best. The whole place exudes a certain quirkiness from the furnishings to the personnel who are kissed hello and goodbye, thanked by the manager (rare!) and all immaculately presented. Forget the formality visit yourself and indulge, wonderful.

Eccentricity at it's best! Visiting for dinner on Saturday evening we were welcomed by what appeared to be the Lady of the Manor and entertained by what must be the Lord. There is a chic style to the service at Mitton and this is matched by the food and drink. The Lady explained any dish we inquired about and the Lord waxed lyrical about our wine choices. We had a selection of Tapas as starters and robust main courses from the Brasserie menu including melt-in-the-mouth steak and despite a full brasserie and bar we didn't wait for anything including jokes! Mitton hall is something very special be it the decor, the food or the Lady Melanie and her partner Lord Andrew. Try it you will not be disappointed.

Very pleasant surroundings in a lovely area food exceptional staff very pleasant children made very welcome been many times well worth a visit!

I'd been meaning to try this place for a while because of it's reputation, but I'm not sure it's completely well founded. Don't get me wrong, it's nice, perhaps a bit pricey on some things for the quality (the £17 steak wasn't the best). The atmosphere is nice although a little touristy, the food all sounded nice but we found it to be overly salty. Also they don't serve drinks to your table so you have to keep traipsing back up to the bar throughout your meal. The ribs with devilled peas are recommended.

Great pizza, but very loud once it fills up on a weekend.

The best in the business the food was brilliant the atmosphere was very comfortable and keep up the good work .pete
