Reviews in Chorley

Went here last night (tues) and we were the first people in the pub but were made to feel very welcome by the lady on the bar. The pub was warm and welcoming. It says on the walls 'we do not serve fast food - we serve good food as quick as we can'. This could not be more true. Our starters (garlic bread and garlic mushrooms) arrived 45 minutes later, they weren't bad but we would not order them again. The mains followed 45 minutes after this, and were not worth the wait. The fishcakes were ok, but the cheese pie was overcooked and had a thick skin on like it had been stored for weeks - i did not eat one bite. On leaving i told the lady who served us (who i think is the land-lady/chefs assistant/waitress and bar person) i was not happy to wait nearly 2 hours for a meal that was not fresh and on a quiet night in the pub - but she did not seem to care. Very, very dissapointed.

Since the refurbishment we have eaten here about 1/2 a dozen times and enjoyed every meal. The new outside terrace is lovely - very mediterranean. The new menu is excellent and very accommodating for every taste - we especially enjoy the local Bowens steak pudding. All the food is beautifully presented and reasonably priced - restaurant quality food at reasonable pub prices! The staff are very friendly and helpful and overall we would recommend The 'new' Travellers Rest to everyone!

the food here is fantastic !! its the fresh produce and the expert chef's they have that make it one of the best food houses, A bar full of cold beers and cask, massive choice of wines and the Sunday Carvery is the tops 2 courses £9.95 & 3 courses £10.95 and not a frozen item in sight. Mid week special, all pasta dishes only £4.95 and ice cold Buds £2.00 (mid week) all British meat and all fresh of the butcher. Sat & Sun Special soup & sandwich £4.95 cant beat it !! warm fires, good company and hot drinks its the place to be !!!

i took my wife for a meal on her birthday and was very impressed with the whole package, we had a beautiful 2 course meal from the a'lcart menu. Would recommend this restaurant so much so we've a pub and have put up an advert on our notice board and will definitely be going back

My partner and I visited The Travellers Rest last night and it was a fab experience. The pub is much smaller on the inside than it looks which adds to the ambiance as when you walk through the doors the atmosphere is lovely and warm and very inviting - we thought it was a bit like sitting in someones front room - very relaxing. The meal was superb. I had one of their specials (Duck) which was delicious, my partner chose the Chilli but BEWARE it is exactly what is says on the menu - HOT!! The presentation of the food was wonderful - not quite what you would expect from a local pub which was a nice surprise. My only criticism has to be that the cutlery/crockery was not spotlessly clean which was a shame as apart from that the whole experience was brilliant and the staff were great. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND but would suggest you book a table first!!

I have been several time to Dantes and has been it and miss but lately is completely off the food is very poor (signs of the credit crunch corner cutting) and very expensive for what you get.

food and service was bad and the staff don't have any direction??????? prices to expensive,wine list like 1980 nothing special

dined on sun 23rd Aug, Food was fab, we would of had dessert and coffee but having been sat for 30 minutes no staff came to ask if we required anything else, we asked a passing waitress for coffee which never came, so we paid and left. Think we must have been unlucky with the staff, but would return.

Fab place, fab food!!!

Eat at New Season for the first time on thursday night. Odered Paella that was to die for best I have ever had. Good choice of wine and cocktails although follwoing a heavy night on wednesday did not sample this time. Service was first class especially Peter who appeared to be the restaurant manager constantly checking all our needs were met and the singer is fantastic. Not the cheapest place round but well worth it Would definitely return

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
