Reviews in Chorley

Ever longed for top notch food? You know, the really good stuff that you see award winning chefs dish out on super large plates with all the fancy stuff? Me too. The only thing that stops me is the price and the stuffy atmosphere that comes on a side plate with passionless staff with no personality in the usual places. The Railway has fantastic food in a cracking pub like surroundings. With 'real' down to earth people serving you in a lovely attitude. The food is amazing. Made all the better by a proper pint in the pub just on the otherside of the bar to the restaurant! Bliss. A real gold mine this one. Shhhhh.

This Gastro Pub is local to us and we have been many times and had some great meals. Whilst the prices may seem high you can get half price steak and chips on a Monday which is the best we have ever had. There is an early diners option which is available up to 7.30pm during the week. Last time we went I had catch of the day which was sea bass which was cooked to perfection. My husband loves the roast dinners on a Sunday. Mushrooms on toast is another memorable dish (a starter) as it includes a little truffle oil. If you have room the sticky toffee pudding with cinder toffee ice cream is just to die for. Drinks aren't cheap but we normally get a bottle of wine between the two of us as these are priced at reasonable rates.

Great value for money, friendly and professional staff. Steaks are top drawer and we are picky. Great Gastro food, pleasant atmosphere and good choice to accommodate all tastes. We do a 32 mile round trip and think it is worth every mile of it. Enjoy

the welcoming atmosphere is almost as tangible as the smells are tantalising to your nose. the staff are attentive without out being overly so. the food is artistically presented and orgasmic to the taste buds - with every flavour coming through individually and not masked by over seasoning. if you have room and your a chocolate lover (this maybe 1 more for the girlies) try the chocolate velvet truffle dessert its as lightness will not stodge you out. yes the price is a little more than your everyday restaurant with everyday food but well worth it and you only need ti visit any fri or sat evening to see that with the amount of people there it has to be darn good.

The food was very good and it has a lovely lively atmosphere but I am still in shock at the price of a glass of the house wine! 6-60 for a large, and 3-30 for a regular glass! I don't think i'll be rushing back!

Fantastic coffee shop! Best cappuccino and mocha around, beats Starbucks or Costa any day. Lovely freshly made sandwiches and paninis. Very friendly place.

I have been to Truffles on many occasions and have found it to be the only consistently good restaurant in my area. I believe that this is because the owner James is also the chef, and is always there. He even personally comes to the table to ask if everything is satisfactory. The food is always wonderful, and doesn`t seem to be as expensive as other restaurants that produce the same type of menu. I have also heard wonderful things about the gourmet nights, but I have yet to try one. I will keep you posted!

Went for dinner last night with my husband and it was as always superb, the staff are so friendly and the menu is great sooooo much choice we both opted for food off the specials menu and was not disappointed my husband ordered Arabic Grill and i opted for the surf and surf fillet steak was one of the most delicious meals we have eaten in a long long time. It isn't the cheapest but you pay for quality and is definitely worth every penny.

We tasted La Rocca pizzas once and since then can't imagine buying anyone else's. We wouldn't even think about having a change of venue. The pizzas are simply sublime.... Arturo is a genius when it comes to pizzas and his Pollo alla Crema is extremely addictive served with steamed broccolli, carrots and Italian style roasted baby potatoes in rosemary. Our daughter is stuck between her two favourites - Spaghetti alla Carbonara or the handmade Tortellini alla Crema. And as for the ice creams - obviously homemade to a high standard, creamy and luxurious and the flavours change frequently. The sorbets are also wonderful but a sorbet is still a sorbet in the end and not a custard/cream based ice cream so choose thoughtfully. If we can't make it in we order and collect. We wish them every success and hope that they will continue to do what they do best and that is bring a taste and feel of Italy to Chorley.

I visited on a Monday afternoon around 12:30 not expecting much really as it was just a place to get a quick bite to eat, I thought. The menu was varied and different with all kinds of wonderful dishes to choose from. Service and food was excellent and would definitely recommend this lovely little place. I say little but actually there's a small courtyard to the rear and an upstairs in addition to the front of the bar to eat. I chose to sit in the courtyard and as it was early lunch time we were on our own. I noticed ash trays on the tables so maybe smokers take advantage of this when eating there. I was seated by the kitchen window and I could hear the chef calling service and bossing his kitchen, you could definitely tell he had pride in his job. The courtyard had a holiday feeling but I wouldn't of sat there if there were smokers in there. Overall it was excellent, good food, service and atmosphere. I will definitely visit as soon as I can again but in the evening this time.

I truly recommend this restaurant, i am well known for being a very fussy eater, and expecting a very high standard of service yogurt this at Dante

Visited this restaurant again this week, excellent food & service. We have been several times and standard is always the same - very high. Have dined off al a carte in past but this week had TDH and food was the same high quality with good sized portions. Can't fault anything, give it a try!

Fair play to Papa Luigi's for accommodating our large, noisy (2 screaming toddlers!) party on a Friday night. However, while the food was tasty and well cooked, 2 moans - 1) we weren't offered the option of the advertised Set Menu for £10 - even though we were seated an hour before the offer finished and 2) portions were quite small for the prices, especially some of the vegetarian options (nearly £6 for a small plate of melon slices??!!). I'd advise anyone looking to eat here for a romantic dinner for 2, to stay well clear on a Friday or Saturday night - the place was packed with families and large groups!

I dined here last night for my birthday, there were nine of us and we had had a room to ourselves. The service was excellent as was the quality and presentation of the food. I have no hesitation in recommending Amelies to anyone wanting a superb dining experience.

I dined here with friends on 1 April and the meal was as usual top class. We have been here a number of times and have always been looked after exceptionally by the staff and the food has always been superb.

Fantastic, what more can I say! Been twice now and both times the food was incredible, thoughtful but not over the top presentation and lots of distinct and full flavours and textures, all cooked to perfection. Lovely staff and chef remembered us from the last time! I actually loved the sorbet so much I could have eaten that as a standalone desert! However, the sorbet was pipped to the post by the most delicious and tasty dessert I've ever eaten - the amazing sticky toffee pudding! I'm not usually a dessert man, but it was so good I could have eaten about ten of them! Please, please, please don't ever take that off the menu!

Best chippy ever! shame we moved house we used to live 2 mins away, now make the journey its worth it!! Fresh approach to fish and chips, service with a passion for good food and service, a wedge of lemon with fish! Fantastic don't go anywhere else Keep up the good work!!

i have been a customer of la rocca since it opened approx 5 years, since sampling their pizzas i have refused to eat anyone else's pizza as they wont live up to how good la roccas are, the bases are lovely and thin and seem authentic and handmade, the tomato sauce is delicious and toppings are generous. I can also the garlic breads which are also divine. I have eaten inside several times with my family and obviously the food is magnificent and service is good. i have found the management friendly and helpful and there is a strong family atmosphere (it seems the manager/head chef is from Italy and the lady who runs front of house is English and his wife) There are very good offers at the moment (3 courses for a tenner) which is good but obviously a beer/bottle of wine bumps the price up. This place SHOULD be renowned throughout chorley as the best Italian in the area but because of its tucked away location people are unaware of it or how good it is. I urge u to try this place if you enjoy fine authentic Italian food at reasonable prices
