Reviews in Chorley

Had a lovely meal here yesterday. Food, atmosphere, staff and view were all fantastic. Very clean and fresh looking, tables nicely spaced. I have an allergy to a certain food and the staff were very careful to make sure it was not in the food in ate. The food was fresh and well presented. There was nothing I didn't enjoy about my visit. Highly recommended, I'll be back again soon.

The best burger I’ve ever tasted had the Wellington last time food is absolutely to die for excellent

This the third time that we have been here and it certainly won't be the last, the food is amazing not had anything that we didn't like and the staff are so friendly and happy to help. The views certainly help too We can honestly not recommend this highly enough

Fabulous vegan breakfast and oat milk with mixed berries smoothie .. top quality and all well cooked as you would expect for the price . Will DEFINITELY BE GOING AGAIN ! Lovely toilets beautifully dressed . Views as you sit overlooking the gorgeous countryside and incredible !

Lovely meal to celebrate my sons A level results. Food was delicious and the service was great especially the younger staff , very polite and helpful.

Thank you for such a beautiful place in such peaceful surroundings to dine. I have been to Whins kitchen on many occasions and enjoyed your beautiful food and serene atmosphere and in view to my many positive experiences I decided to make a planned booking. Unfortunately, I am really sorry to say my experience had been extremely disappointing with the food and despite booking in advance. My friend and I had been celebrating a very special occasion and had wishes in the main to experience Whins kitchen to make a future plan for her family to try . We had booked a window seated area in the main to enhance our experience. During the time spent we had to be seated else where to accommodate other customers, on completing our meal making ourselves very uncomfortable, feeling the rush to leave. The mature male server made ourselves feel very under valued and had been quite rude in his non verbal ways to communicating. This had been a shame as this had taken the joy away to dine at whins making the experience more like a canteen, service being quickly in and the processed quickly out. The food has always been above excellence at whins kitchen and staff have always been very welcoming , this particular occasion the mature server seemed very stressed and dismissive to our food comments concerning the vegan pizza presenting as under cooked. I am personally disappointed , as Whins kitchen has always been extremely excellent, in both the service and the food being second to no other in the area. I am more disappointed as i actually booked in advance and maybe I was expecting something special. Thank you for taking my comments on board and hope they can be helpful towards management.

Vibrant ambience, nice lighting, good service, excellent food. Will return

Had the early bird dinner last night and as ever was very impressed with the service, food and ambience of this restaurant.

Dined at Papa Luigis in Euxton on a Wednesday evening. My friend and I both dined from the Early Evening Menu and all the food was delicious. A lively atmosphere due to several birthday parties but good service and a lovely meal which was also very good value.

The restaurant has a very good ambience. The menu is very extensive and not just Italian as we had expected. Food quantities were huge both for starters and for mains. So having selected both we found it was too much to eat. The food quality was also good. I ordered the T-bone steak with peppercorn sauce - excellent. We will definitely come again.

Mum and I had lovely welcome on Sunday.. The place and views are beautiful and the food amazing. Can't wait to go again.

Beautiful food, lovely atmosphere, reasonably priced. Never had a bad meal.

Fabulous food and service. Our favourite local place! Definitely recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here. The food is excellent quality, freshly prepared, and the service is pretty good too! What a location........

Enjoyable lunch Good food, lovely views, helpful staff

Well, the first thing I should say is that I wouldn’t have actively gone on Tripadvisor to critique this eatery. I would have just put it down to experience – and if someone had asked about my experience, then I’d have given them an honest answer. But then that’s just what happened: Whinns emailed me asking for a review. So here it is. And it ain’t glowing. I just hope it helps the owners address the issues and lift their brand. As the phrase goes ‘we learn more from out failures than from our successes’. I’ll just give you my experience and my honest take in categories of ambience, service, food and value for money. So the position is excellent. Tick. Rolling, manicured hills and lots of open sky, a bucolic idyll. A fantastic stage on which to create a scene for a memorable experience. But as the old American café advertisement said ‘You can’t eat atmosphere.’ The café’s picture window is a double-edged sword: good for external views but utterly terrible for internal ambience. The entire wall of glass is a solid, non-sound absorbing surface. And together with the solid floor, the patrons’ combined voices just create the acoustics of a squash court. My partner and had to speak in raised voices across our small table just to hear each other over the room’s boom. Not relaxing. The front of house staff are friendly and helpful, though, if I were to compare this experience to others, I’d say the manager treads that dangerous line between engaging and intrusive with varying degrees of success. But the food was the real annoyance and let down. My partner, for her birthday lunch, had the spinach and cashew filo pie. I went for the ultimate burger. The back story here is that around lockdown time, I’d been passing Whins with my partner and we’d overheard a lady saying to her friend that the ultimate burger was the best burger she’d even had – ‘burger’ not just meat-free burger. Now, for me, that was kind of a big call. I love burgers. I had to find out - I’ve had all sorts of burgers on multiple continents. I hoped a new holy grail of burgers awaited. The food arrived pretty quickly. I’d been informed that the option of chips with the burger was off as there’d been supply problems, but there was a salad. Fine, I have no loyalty to the potato. But my partner and I were a bit taken aback with our meals. I’m not blaming the kitchen staff here at all. I’ve known enough chefs to know they generally receive a prescriptive menu and ingredients to prepare. We had decided to get different meals so we could share half each of the respective dishes. But the scale of the little filo pie next the haystack of slaw/raw veg was odd. And when I cut my ‘ultimate’ burger in half to scoot half to my partner’s plate, I had exactly two bites of burger left to eat. I’m really not one of the all you can eat brigade and I prefer quality to quantity any day of the week, but this thing was tiny. If it had been twice the size, it would’ve have been just about adequate. It would have been almost laughable, if it hadn’t cost nearly £14. It really did taste good, but ‘ultimate?’ Not in any positive, polite category I can think of. I always find it’s better to under-promise and over-deliver. We waited to order coffees, but no one came to take the order. So we got the bill. There’s a potential gold mine here. Situation. Parking. Lack of competition. Potential offering. Even the sound problem can be solved quite easily. We even had other people to bring on a second visit. But sadly for Whins that money will be going somewhere else. It’s not my job (here) to sort out brand perception and product delivery, all I can do is vote with my feet.

Visited Verdes for the first time with friends. We all had the 3 course meal of the specials menu. £15.95pp The restaurant inside is very classy and it beautifully set. The food was absolutely delicious from start to finish, couldn’t fault it one bit ! It was perfect. They don’t rush you at all nice and relaxed Staff were very friendly and professional. We will definitely returns and I would recommend 100% We also has 2 large wines 2 beers 2 lattes And the bill was £97 for 4 people
