Reviews in Chorley

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.

Had a great time here , the food was outstanding and different and the staff genuinely want you to have a good time , nothing is too much trouble and they make you feel like a mate. When i go for a meal I want to feel like I am on holiday and I want to eat something that I wouldn't have thought of cooking myself and that is exactly what you get here. Price was fine but I racked the bill up by trying loads of different cocktails, paid for it in the morning too!

two words, best around

bested italian around,been going for years ,still seeing some of the same staff,lovely open kitchen

Great place to eat, staff are brilliant, was about £20 per head including drinks but really special. They also had singer guitarist on and we got his business card and is playing at our wedding next year. Lovely

Been there on a number of occasions with different guests. All in all what a wonderful setting next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal. It has a varied and exciting menu that's a lot better than your average with starters to die for and main meals that are just superb. cannot remember the name of the Italian Merlot but this is one of the nicest red wines i have tasted. Well worth the long walk up from Chorley.

Blue Elephant - Chorley This is an indian restaurant situated in a nice location with a good sized car park. The decor inside is modern and there is a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The The staff are smartly dressed and attentive, however, we did feel they were a little too attentive and intrusive at times. There is a wide selection of dishes although given the quality of the food, we did not feel that this represented good value for money. We both had chicken dishes, and although the chicken was very tasty, we were both very disappointed with the sauces. The masala sauce was more reminiscent of a korma but with red colouring, in that, it tasted very sweet and coconuty… I was told that the sauce consisted of a great deal of sugar and half coconut/almond flakes which would explain the very, very sweet and sickly taste. The waiter also told me that if I saw what they had put in the sauce in terms of sugar etc I would not eat the dish… The side order of chips, which I was told would be the best chips around, tasted like they had been re fried and were, as a result very greasy. The mushroom pilau rice tasted like it had also been reheated on at least one occasion. The toilet facilities were adequate and clean. The mints were nice. In summary: Great location Nice Decor Attentive staff Disappointing food - will not return or recommend.

We have eaten here for lunch and evening. Excellent food and as it is a small restaurant the atmosphere is friendly and intimate. |Had a great night with our friends. Lovely lobster - a special - and great cocktails. The staff are lovely too.

ive been tonight and the service is slow and the food was burnt

Ate here last night, saw the sign 'Guardian Best place to eat' so was eager to get a table booked. When we arrived there was a guitarist on. Great atmosphere and candlelit. Food was amazing, out of this world and staff was so so friendly helping with recommendations. We had a couple of cocktails and really started to get into the music. The Singer was really talented and was told he plays every Thursday so we'll be back again soon. Food 5/5 Service 4/5 Entertainment 5/5 GREAT NIGHT - little worse for wear this morning though :)

I recently passed here and though we would go for a change having usually gone to The High Moor for any special meals out. The lady who runs the place was lovely and the service couldn't be faulted. The food was lovely and beautifully presented. I do wish I hadn't had a starter though as the portions were generous and I couldn't manage a pud! I would recommend this to friends and family alike and would be very happy to go again.

As it's my local pub I can say on behalf of myself and the neighbours what a joy it is to have such a great offering at the Black Horse by its new owners. The mini beer festival is a daily joy and the food just right.

Dined here on Saturday evening, the service was fab and the food was amazing, it really puts every other place in the area to shame. The Red Cat used to be my favorite my opinion has now changed.

I write not to recommend this restaurant. I could not find a starter that I liked and normally I am spoilt for choice. The menu said my main course would be served with a choice of either chips, roast or boiled potatoes and vegetables. I was not given a choice of potatoes and there was hardly any veg. The garlic bread was tasteless. However the main problem was that my husband started with diarrhoea at 3am. the following day which lasted for 8 weeks. He had eaten mussels here and the doctor said it was undoubtedly due to eating at this restaurant.
