Reviews in Chorley

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!

We chose Amelie's for my step-son Bob's 50th birthday lunch. Our visit proved to be a superb experience in living and dining. It seemed we had stepped back to a more refined era. The experience is that of dining in one of those large private homes of yesteryear and we appreciated the vast attention to detail. The staff have a warm greeting. The service was unhurried and the food was never less than magnificent. At Amelie's we felt we were in a totally different, totally unhurried world and the verdict of the birthday boy was " the best meals in years." We all agreed that this fine restaurant is a treasure.

We ate at Italian Cottage on Fri 14th Jan, Thoroughly enjoyed it, the food was excellent and the waiting on staff were very friendly. If I had to pick one negative the only thing I can think of is, there is no waiting area so if your table is not ready, your stood about, but our table was ready, it was very busy and we will def be going again.

This is a fabulous place for a 21st Birthday celebration. The food is lovely from the Carvery for Sundays lunches. I would highly recommend the Oak Royal.

Excellent food and service. Without doubt one of the best restaurants in Chorley.

Absolutely fantastic service. Food was amazing too.

Have eaten here a few times now, consistently good food, love the self playing grand piano! Staff really nice. I always book it for parties and special occasions as they make such a fuss of us. ..Recommended

The transformation from the original pub restaurant is amazing. It is clean, fresh and modern and yet has maintained its character. Luciano and his staff are nothing less than charming and make eating out more like an experience. The menu is exciting and the specials board has some lovely dishes that are well worth the slightly higher prices. We look forward to our next visit.

we have eaten tonight in Field Fare in Chorley the food and wine were excellent.service fantastic couldn't have been better if we had been in 5* restaurant in the London (which we often have) Very very impressed the Stilton steak was fantastic !! melt in the mouth. Well done everyone !!!! Thank you

Excellent

Fab meal. Fab atmosphere. Fab night.

This great pub is losing trade as the management fails to understand the 'pub product'. This place is not a restaurant in the 'classic context', but a 'food pub' Customers using this type of operation do not want to 'wait here to be seated'; nor do they want to be escorted to a table which they may not like. We all know the system for ordering at the bar. The current management style is damaging the turnover because: 1 As customers now have their orders taken at the table, this denies the business the opportunity to merchandise their products at the 'point of sale'. 2 Customers who only want a drink are made to feel unwelcome. 3 People like to choose where they want to sit. 4 By forcing table service onto pub food diners,this creates an obligation to 'tip', which they may not normally do and, therefore, decline to return. 5 'Pub grub punters' go to places like The Roebuck, The Blundell and The Malthouse for an informal dining experience, .not a style of service that could be construed as 'oppressive' I did point out these observations to a member of staff who agreed with me, but went on to explain that it was The Manager's wish to upgrade the offer. The Malthouse was operating at approx. 40%. capacity when we left at around 9:30 PM on a Saturday night- which says it all really. With increased labour intensity and falling sales this Manager may not be able to sustain his desired levels of service..which are not required for this style of Pub....thet's what The Malthouse is; A Pub!!

Having just enjoyed the Christmas Fayre menu with 73 members of the 'Find your Feet' walking group, I would recommend it to anyone. The staff were helpful and courteous and everyone enjoyed it. As soon as the meal was over, they were asking me to book for next year Thanks to all concerned and a Merry Christmas to you all.

Ate hear on Sunday for my birthday,the food the surroundings and staff were excellent.We will be back very shortly.We were even given free drinks as we had to wait some time for our meal,it was busy book if going you will enjoy.

We had lunch here yesterday, and what a transformation! Modern, stylish, welcoming. Best Italian food in the North West...friendly staff. We will be back

We went on recommendation from a couple that we met on holiday. What a great experience, good food, good venue, good service, overall an experience that we have repeated and will continue to repeat in the future. I would commend this Gastropub to all, you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic, very professional staff, table settings, and wonderful food. Will certainly be visiting again. Well done.

We booked Luciano`s for a special evening. The service was excellent and the staff could not do enough to make our evening. The menu was varied with that `something` different to offer and our meal was very good. Having just moved into the area ... this is somewhere to return to.
