Reviews in Chorley

We went to the yew tree in January to celebrate my mothers 50th birthday and have to say we will defiantly be back. The staff are extremely helpful and will always go that extra mile to ensure your evening is special. I opted for fillet steak which I asked asked for medium rare and that's exactly how it came. I must say as well, the veg of the day and fluffy hand cut chips complimented it very well. My mother had the fillet of sea bass which see said was to die for, I was surprised because see is usually very fussy with way she eats. We finished our puddings and was directed into a reserved area of the lounge next to the roaring log fire. We really enjoyed our evening and and got a big thank you when will left. We will definitely be back and will recommend to any friend or family member.

The Black Horse is a charming and delightful place to eat , my wife and I revisited with my sisters after a 40 + yrs away and missing the pub style meals of fish and chips and mushy peas . My what a treat we truly enjoyed the atmosphere and friendliness of the management. We have one regret not bring back the mushy pea recipe if you feel comfortable sending it we would appreciate it.

We have visited the Italian Cottage several times and have never been disappointed. Used to visit the Parmesan and Pepper they previously ran and was disappointed when this closed but at least now have got another favourite Italian. If you have a good appetite the starters are to die for, myself I find them too filling as wouldn't eat my main meal. Myself and partner Ian tend to share one of the garlic breads (a different one each time ) and the favourite is the chili onions garlic bread but all worth a try. You will not be disappointed with any of the main dishes either and have yet to find a favourite now. They have a specials board which changes and tends to be fish courses which are also nice and tasty. The staff there are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble,. Parking near the Italian cottage is not a problem either as there is a large car park within a minute walking. IF you have not been before give it a try but make sure you book as the place is so busy you may well get turned away.

We eat out regularly at this restaurant. It has excellent food, excellent staff and is a lovely place to visit. It has an atmosphere which makes you fell welcome whether you are popping in after work or dining out in style, a remarkable achievement. My friends travel to Chorley from Eccles (24 miles) to eat here with us!!!!

I have visited the Malt house on several occasions within the last few years. I would consider it to be a good pub-restaurant within a lovely setting. Homemade fresh meals are fabulous especially the sweet potato chips! Never been disappointed yet.

We went for a meal at the Italian Cottage and was prepared for an average meal and experience, but were completely wrong!!! The service was friendly, unobtrusive and attentive. The food was absolutely gorgeous.....the garlic tomato bread was to die for! I love what they have done with the interior....... wooden floors and tables but adding warmth with leather chairs, dark accent wall with lots of different types of clocks, the spiral staircase and original oven range. Several people turned up without bookings but had to be turned away as they were so busy.....so make sure you book! It really was good food, good service and good atmosphere!!

Wow what a let down! Sorry but I had read all the reviews and genuinely visited with high hopes. Perhaps I am too fussy but the quality of the food and drink fell way way short of my expectations. I have never posted an adverse review before but here goes!!! Didn't get off to a great start as having read the blurb about a QE2 mixologist in charge of cocktails I thought let's go for it but the bellinis were just a glass of cheap champagne with cordial added at £6 a pop. I ordered a Paella which when it came was a dollop of soggy rice and seafood and didn't taste freshly cooked and a chicken tagine was nothing more than a chicken breast fillet that had been boiled in a tin of chopped tomato with a few bits added, . Notwithstanding the dissapointment with the food and drink by far the worst part was the reaction when I politely and discreetly tried to express my dissatisfaction. The waitress, who actually was very pleasant but obviously embarassed, seemed to understand my grievance and attempted to appease me by offering alcohol as compensation. When I explained that getting my money back, or getting drunk, wasn't the critical issue and asked to have a quiet word with a manager/proprietor/chef who I thought might have had some concerns with untouched food being returned She clearly indicated they werent really bothered and gave me an e-mail address instead. Sad to say I left with an empty soul and an empty stomach but thought fit to post here. I know many people love this plale and maybe I just had a bad experience but its nice to have a balanced view.

We visited Luciano's 2 weeks ago on a Saturday it was fantastic!! could make my mind up between the salmon or the lamb I opted for the salmon it was delicious..the people at the next table opted for the lamb they said it was so good they were tempted to order another one between them but decided to go back on Sunday instead !!! If you have not been do try it, the food,the ambiance,and the service are excellent

We enjoyed a lovely lunch of smoked salmon & cream cheese sandwiches & rose marie prawn sandwich. So tasty, & everyone was extremely helpful & pleasant. We would recommend the Beaumont to all our friends. Thankyou.

Well the food was delicious ,well presented and the service was good ! my only gripe was the portion size ! I know we are in a credit crunch but my main meal of penne pasta and salami was more starter sized ! Ive never gone home and had a ham butty after a meal before ! Don't think i'll go back !

My son took us all (7) four adults, three children for a meal at Sunday lunch, my birthday treat! Very nice surroundings very good food and wine with pleasant helpful and courteous staff, will be booking again soon!

Food & service both excellent, Market menu is excellent value at £15.95 for 3 courses, Highly recommended :-)

We spent a wonderful evening at Amelies for a frinds birthday.Staff were friendly and attentive.The food was divine, all dishes had their own "character" nothing looked the same. The sweets were fantastic even the fruit coulis on my friends said Happy Birthday. Egon Ronnay ( hope I spelled that correctly!) would be there everyday!

I went to seasons last weekend, the service was excellent as usual, and the food was fantastic. There was a good choice of vegetarian options on request, and the staff made an exotic cocktail and non alcoholic cocktail. Was also a nice surprise when we got the bill, excellent value!

Visited the Italian Cottage on a Thursday evening with three friends, looking forward to a good old goss and great food. We certainly were not disappointed by the food and the value was even better choosing from the three course "cheaper" option. However the night was ruined by anxious staff desperate to get home at 9.45, making it obvious that our time was up!! and there was me thinking Thursday was the new Friday. We ordered further drinks following our meal which was an obvious annoyance to the staff they stood around watching for any indication for us leaving. In this current climate where relying on punters that are going to spend some dosh one would think this cosy little restaurant in a back street of cosmopolitan Chorley would be eager to offer further drinks with eagerness and flair. On leaving the restaurant the a member of staff quoted on her phone " they're leaving now so come in two minutes" Well we were leaving, not to return!!!

Another lovely Saturday lunch at The Beaumont. Always a friendly welcome and extensive choice of food.

I frequent this restaurant with my family & friends. On every occasion we all have had an enjoyable time. The food is consistently excellent, full of flavour, presented well & freshly cooked. I look forward to going there at every opportunity.

I visited the Italian Cottage, with friends on the 19th January. I found the vegetarian options very appealing, the meal tasty and the service great. I went back to the Italian Cottage last night, 26th January, with my partner. As we sat waiting for our meal, my partners mobile phone rang. This was a business call, not personal and he kept the call brief. In disbelief, the lady that we believe to be the manager came over to our table and in a loud, condescending tone told, did not ask, my partner to turn his phone onto silent. We were so embarrassed. My partner almost walked out, but we stayed for our meal. My partner asked if they would cook his meal again because it was too salty, the staff said that it was too salty because my partner had put too much Parmesan cheese on it!! I work for LCC, all my work colleagues carry mobiles for business purposes and I will be advising them very strongly not to eat at this restaurant!
