Had a wonderful night at Northcote during the Obsession Festival. The appropriately named Tom Kitchin was at the stove. Fantastic food and great company on our table. Matthew Fort of Great British Menu fame held a witty court. Proud to have this esteemed event in the Red Rose county!

Not good food. Too much MSG. Staff not helpful. No enough staff.

i would recommend NOT to visit to eat. its over priced frozen food, its pub grub that isn't good.

We absolutely love the Clog & Billycock and have been several times now. The food is superb, the staff brilliant and the atmosphere is always buzzing.

We are hoping to book a table to celebrate our daughters first wedding anniversary. That is their choice when we were thinking of somewhere special!!! The fish cooked in leaves I find superb

Excellent Jalfrezi served with style and professionalism in a spotless and contemporary environment. Really liked the warm way all the staff greeted each other with a hug in the Muslim way. Its BYO too so save a wad on booze mark ups!

I have been to the shajan last saturday (12th Decemeber) and i have got to say the service ad food is fantastic! the whole restaurant was packed to the seems and i thought my girlfriend and I would never get to sit down when we first arrived. However to my great surprise and pleasure we were sat down on a table within 20 minutes where we were given menu's and drinks! The young manager there was fantastic he took our drink orders and our food order and made us feel very welcome and comfortable. He also allowed us to change many things on our order which we could not normally do at any other restaurant for example i wanted my Makhani chicken madras hot with chop chillis in it and he said that wasn't a problem. The starters and main courses came quickly and we were not waiting very long at all, the food was AMAZING i have been all over the country tasting curries and i must say this place has got to be on top. The atmosphere is great the service and staff are just so perfect i can not wait to go back.

We have been dining with The Shajan for 11 years. It's a 70 mile round trip but we know that when we get there we will be treat like royalty and the food will be consistently fantastic! We live near 'The Curry Capital' but we have NEVER found an Indian Restaurant that could knock The Shajan off this extremely high pedestal that it so deserves to perch on!! I wish Zabi would come back from Bangladesh though.

Faultless Indian restaurant. Great service: staff motivated and friendly but never overbearing. Nice layout inside, modern and classy. Most importantly, the food is simply superb. The tastes are clean and spicy and the portions are big. It was also astonishingly good value. We were in a group of four and starters, mains, beers and coffees came to about £100, for a quality of food that seriously is worth twice that. Check it out, you won't regret it.

We stayed at Stanley House on a Gourmet Nights break just recently and I cannot fault it. We arrived at 3pm to check in, where we had afternoon tea. I was very surprised at the prices being very reasonable for the daytime menu. I ordered full afternoon tea and my husband ordered fleetwood smoked salmon finger sandwiches. My afternoon tea came with, smoked salmon finger sandwiches also, as well as cream cheese and cucumber sandwiches. both came with a small dish of crisps and side salad. My afternoon tea was also accompanied by 4 cakes. 1 chocolate mousse cake, 1 scone with jam and cream, 1 profiterole and finally a piped mirangue swan. It was all really really good. We booked our table for 8:30pm We had been booked in for the 7 course tasting menu. Menu was: Amuse Bouche - Salmon Veloute with quails egg Pre Starter - Roasted Snails, ceps and parsley Starter - Scallops, squash risotto, trumpets of death, parmesan crisps Main - Duck, bread mousse, blackberry and armagnac jus Cheese Course - 8 different tastes of cheese Pre Dessert - Pina Colada Panna Cotta, Mango soup Dessert - Walnut, nougat and toffee pears. The waiter service was absolutely fantastic. He was gracious, reminded you of your course, and was also funny (in a good way) I tried a little of each cheese, but I apologised when he came to collect the plates for not eating it all, he said ' not to worry the cheese clean up team in the kitchen will take care of it, madam' All in all the service and hospitality was second to none. You think it was fine dining, I would say Michelin Star would be closer to the mark. The presentation of the food was outstanding, every dish was identical. We will definitely be returning to sample their Cassis a la carte menu and Mr Freds daytime Fayre. Stanley House is Sublime. Book a Table today!

"Horrible experience" This Chinese was very noisy like eating in a nightclub! (and im only 22!) Food was extremely poor, ribs were fatty, prawn toast was tough, Bamboo chicken too chewy , Seabass was flavourless, Beef also very chewy and the coffee was cold! Should have travelled little bit further to Northcote Manor! Disappointing to say the least.

This is the best Indian food around. We keep returning time after time, as the food is so good & the waiters are so helpful. You can also take in your own drinks, & they will keep them cool for you. Excellent all round....A1

Leave well alone, my Son's pizza was runny greasy and burnt. When he complained he was told it is the correct way to serve pizza. Intimidated in front of other diners and ended up paying and leaving quickly as other diners were staring. No apology, no answer to complaint letter. (My son has worked as a pizza chef by the way so knows his stuff)

Every year my partner and i go to the windmill for our anniversary we have been going for 11 years and love the food and the price aswell as the very friendly staff. off there again tonight and really looking forward to it .

Went to this chip shop for the 1st time tonight. We got 2 x Fish and Chips, with the most gorgeous mushy peas! Very good value for money, and the fish was lovely....crisp batter, and fresh fish. The staff were very friendly, and efficient. I would recommend this chippy!

4 of us dined here last night (Friday) and enjoyed some really good food. Not having been to a Caribbean restaurant before we all opted for the platters which were very good value for money. It gave us the chance to try a bit of everything off the menu and all of it was extremely delicious and we struggled to finish everything there was plenty on there! The curry deserves a special mention as do the huge king prawns. The only slight criticism was the men were a bit put out at the small choice of lager/beer on offer, they were allowed to bring drinks down from the bar upstairs, but its a bit inconvenient having to leave your table to go yourself to the pub upstairs to get a drink! The staff were friendly and polite apart from one girl who I think needs some customer training. At one point she sighed and rolled her eyes as one of us couldn't decide which cocktail we wanted off the menu. Not a good advertisement for your business. Still, despite that we would go back as the food is great and a good change from the usual eating out experience. ( I would just suggest to the owner to keep a better eye on how the waitresses are treating the customers!)

food is absolutely fantastic, service is friendly and welcoming it is my favourite restaurant!!

Guide village is one of th best Cantonese restaurants around, with this restaurant on your doorstep who needs to go to China town. Small and friendly and the best quality. If you are strapped for cash then the Sunday buffet at £10 adults and £5 for kids for a fab buffet style meal. How fab. Everyone should go!! See you there.xx
