Reviews in Chorley

I discovered Truffles purely by accident several years ago & although it is some thirty miles from my home it has become my favourite restaurant since that first visit. Truffles is a restaurant where I am able to take my family & friends with confidence that my guests will enjoy a meal of very high standard, in an ambiance that is only found in a few restaurants today & where the service provided is truly excellent. Dining or lunching at Truffles is an eating experience not to be missed & I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant whether it is for a meal from the standard menu or for a meal from any of the almost monthly gourmet menus covering cuisine from countries in Europe & Aisia.

Booked for 730 but we were late, still managed to fit us in even though it was busy! Food was brilliant, had all sorts of world foods, I had this steak thing in spicy sauce which was amazing and Live music on,his name was cris- Great Singer very soulful as said below! Booked again for my brothers birthday

Went to New Seasons restaurant with very good friends on Saturday 25th July for a Birthday celebration. The staff were friendly and attentive, couldn't have asked for better service, even though we turned up early. We thoroughly enjoyed our starters of a few tapas. Three of our party had the Surf and Turf from the specials and by the mmmmmmmmmm noises they were enjoying their choices. I however drew the short straw, I also had a choice off the specials but my salmon was overcooked and the quenilles of mash were luke warm. A big disappointment for me. Don't think I will be quick to return.

I have to agree with Chris Blundell who wrote about the Southport/Ormskirk Blue Elephant. He was lucky to only wait 20 minutes for his meal though. Try 1 hour! I didn't want to complain about this place as I have been before (a good while ago though) and it was great, but it seems to have changed staff and it is now awful with its service. Food is very good but you won't want it after such a huge wait. There was no explanation or apology until AFTER we had complained. They decided they'd take the drinks off the bill (1 beer and a few tonic waters) which is an insult. We kept complaining until they took off the price of three meals which we had hardly touched due to not feeling hungry anymore. The manager was then terse and unfriendly when we left. I expect more when I'm paying good money to a restaurant. Sadly disappointing. Warren Buffet was right - It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it.

We called in on speck recently and received a very warm welcome. The food and drinks were excellent and fantastic value for money. There was a hidden gem of an outdoor bar-b-que area at the rear of the pub.Well done and keep up the good work!!

we have been to truffles twice and both times the food was excellent. this restaurant doesn't seem that well known, i can't think why, as the food and venue is great.

Just returned from P & P and the food was to die for ! portion sizes more than generous, service excellent, no complaints

Went there last night and a a lovely meal, although it was unusually busy for midweek owing to the plethora of Teachers dining there after the end of term break up! Despite waiting 10- 15 mins our table staff were polite, warm and courteous and i could not fault the food TIP- Try the Sardinian Pasta

Superb restaurant, cannot recommend it highly enough! Menu choice is fantastic as are the specials. Brilliant for a celebration with a large group or with a partner. Would advise to book Fri/Sat as does get very very busy.

good food but I didn't like the place felt like I was in a gold fish bowl

Can't go round with Alghero's. Great food and lovely atmosphere.

Dined at the Railway today (Sunday 4th July) with my husband and what a delightful surprise! We were just passing after a day out and looking for somewhere to eat. We were so pleased we stopped,it has restored our faith in "pub" dining. The food was excellent and staff charming. I just wish it was at the bottom of my road!

I was surprised to see that there are not more reviews for Amelie's on this site! That said, Amelie's is one of Lancashires best kept secrets! We again enjoyed a fantabulous meal which was a special thank-you treat from relatives. They couldn't have picked a better venue and the whole experience from arrival to departure was one of being made to feel special, if not a little pampered. The staff are highly attentive and friendly, without being over familiar. The food? Well, put simply it is to die for; presenting a worthy and competitive challenge to the menus, ingredient quality and presentation of every other renowned restaurant in this area of Lancashire and beyond.

Even though the restaurant was booked up, they still found room for us. The staff were polite, charming and attentive and nothing was too much trouble. The food was Amazing, really really gorgeous! We had the tapas menu which was a real eye opener, the choice was fantastic, the only problem was that once i had tried it, i wanted to eat everything on the menu!

We went to this restaurant two weeks ago after recommendations and had a lovely meal, however this weekend we went again, a group of us to celebrate one of our parties birthdays……………….what a disappointment, we were seated upstairs (if your given this option avoid like the swine flu), pretty much forgotten about, starters took ages to arrive, main course no quicker, and when they did arrive accompaniments were slow to appear, and in four of our parties cases never arrived at all even after asking for them twice. When the bill arrived no apology and it took me to explain that I wasn’t prepared to pay £21 for just a piece of steak!!! Customer service is very poor, and management don’t seem to want to deal with problems. Waiting on staff were blamed for our lack of service but I spoke to someone I charge who took responsibility for the missing vegetables only to later on to pass the blame back to the poor waitress who did her best to try and resolve the situation. Not a pleasant experience, will not be going again, I had given a good review to friends and family who were planning on going, unfortunately after this visit their not going anymore…………..!!!!!

Very nice pub, i come here frequently and have never been disappointed. The service is Excellency and so is the food with big portions always served. Nicely decorated, could not think of one fault with this Pub, Would give it 10 out of 10

I eat here on a regular basis, the food is fantastic and reasonably priced! My partner and I normally eat here at lunch time or at happy hour in the evening at 5.30 till 6.30 so even with a starter each, our bill is never more than £25.00. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and food is prepared quickly, in fact I have never waited longer than 20 minutes for a meal here. Their onion and chilli garlic bread is the best I have ever had - and always comes piping hot. Deserts are also great, especially the Alabama soft rock chocolate fudge cake! I would definitely recommend P&P's to anyone, even those not too keen on Italian dishes as they prepare a number of English meals also.

Now I don't normally write bad reviews for restaurants, especially ones that are right on my doorstep but................. I don't know who's writing these comments which give excellent reviews to a very ordinary restaurant but they mustn't get out much! I've visited The Railway@Euxton about 4 times since it opened and not once has it been a particularly enjoyable experience. The first time I visited, it had only been only several weeks but there's not excuse for food being brought to the table virtually cold and the Bernaise sauce that I order to accompany my sirloin steak had the consistency of water. On the second visit (Grandma's birthday) a rowdy argument broke out on a table close to where we were sitting. The argument continued for several minutes and the management failed to do anything about it. On the third visit (a friends birthday) We waited well over an hour for our starters to arrive after being seated. I ordered a blackpudding starter which came to the table very nearly cold. The waiter took it back to the chef and then returned with the same plate with the reply 'the chef said its meant to be like that'. I can't think of anything I'd less like to do than eat cold blood! My girlfriend sent her lamb main course back twice because it was raw (not rare) in the middle. On the 4th visit the waitress took our order, then returned to inform us that they'd sold out of both meals we chose. So we changed the order. The waitress returned because she forgot to ask how my girlfriend would like her tuna cooking, then returned again to tell her that the tuna was also sold out! After waiting for over an hour for our starters, the main courses where brought to the table! We'd both had had enough at this point, so we left without eating. After complaining to the management, they very kindly invited us back for a complimentary meal. Although the night went very smoothly (because the owner personally took care of us) the standard of cuisine just isn't good. The chef can write a good menu but he sure as hell can't cook one! This restaurant is trying to be something that its not capable of being. With a similar menu and prices as The Clog & Billycock in Pleasington this is a far better option.
