Reviews in Fylde Coast and Blackpool

We really like the Lowther Cafe. A refreshing change to some of the pretentious establishments that abound these days. Simple and unfussy food, cooked well and service with a smile. Harks back to a different era when the British seaside was the place to be. Even the staff calling out your meal ticket has the charm of an old bingo hall. It's great value too!

Just what Bispham has been waiting for... Stunning food, excellent atmosphere, lovely staff just perfect. Very impressed with the authentic cuisine

Must be one of the best in the northwest! Been going more than a year now and never fail to serve some of the best fish and chips I've ever eaten.

Favourite Indian in the area. Buraq serves a better quality of Indian food, a richer flavour and better meat or perhaps marinated longer?. I always order my takeaway from there too, even though there are other Indian takeaways nearer. The Sugarvine offer is great value. Keep it up guys!

Burger and chips x 2 was filling and tasty. Service was attentive and prompt. Only complaint was that the outside area was a complete mess for the whole time we were there. The spring sun must have made the beer garden extra busy and I assume they were under staffed. Still one of my favourites in Lytham, especially as I can take my dog.

We had a great time on Mother's Day. The meals were cooked to perfection and the staff were excellent. We will be going again.

The fish and chips at the Cottage on saturday were excellent. Great value at around £6 for fish, chips, peas, coke and bread and butter. Good service in extremely pleasant surroundings. The walls are covered with the celebrities that have dined there. A famous chippy with history.

Excellent food and very polite and friendly owners. Often get my breakfast here and am never disappointed. Small breakfast box for £1.50 is a bargain.

Blue Diamond is a newish Indian restaurant on Highfield Road in Blackpool on the site of what used to be Plumbjabi. We turned up really quite late on a Friday night and they were more than happy to accommodate us despite the late hour. The food was excellent, catering to both the spicy and more bland tastes on our table, the service was friendly and the boss was still there keeping an eye on things. Recommended.

Never easy getting a table here at weekends which I guess is the sign of a good restaurant. The place has a really warm and welcoming buzz to it which is partly down to the simple, rustic decor and plenty down to Moses, the friendly Spanish owner who handles front-of-house. There’s paella, of course, plus a rib of beef that comes sliced on a wooden board which is to die for. Lots of other dishes to work your way through both from the main menu and the specials board.

Fantastic food brilliant portions and friendly staff and zoo is amazing! Couldn't ask for a better setting!

Visited with my wife a few days ago and had the best bacon on toast I have ever had! The toast was so thick, talk about doorsteps!! The bacon was high quality too. Service with a smile in a very quirky setting. Good fresh coffee. Well worth a visit!!

The best bacon butty I have had was at the Blackbird Cafe. Really nice place in an old bank I think. Used to be a video shop for years. Looks a lot nicer now.

Sunday Lunch at the Poulton Elk .....Told to not touch the plates as they were hot ....they weren't - they were cold as was the whole meal - tough roast beef, that tasted as tho it had been cooked, then stored in a pantry, (not a fridge!), and tasted stale- my shoe leather would have been easier to eat - bullet type Yorkshire puddings that the knife would not cut, pre-frozen warmed up veg and tinned garden peas!! - asked if I would like it heated up - I do not eat warmed up food - asked for my money back and did not re-order anything - was given a complimentary cup of coffee - wow actually was warm ...... Will not be recommending or returning anytime soon - eating area is a somewhat "upper class staff canteen" complete with the noise and unruly children running about everywhere! Should have known better really! Moral - you get exactly what you pay for - perhaps Weatherspoons think it is ok to offer pre-frozen, pre cooked food that has been warmed up to a very poor standard - but beware not good value for money wholesome food - staff entirely indifferent to my complaint! Emailed Weatherspoon head office following my visit - no response or feedback received - that was 3-weeks ago!

Enjoyed a good Sunday lunch today to celebrate my wife's birthday with family .Excellent, friendly service, good choice of food, nice family atmosphere. Does what it sets out to do very well.

We went to the Blackpool Nandos with a gift card. Food was good, service was slow and portions stingy for the price. Nevertheless we still think Nandos is a great dining brand.

This afternoon, using our deal monster voucher we enjoyed the best of fish , chips, mushy peas, and a pot of tea at Seafarers café in St Anne’s. The quality and size of the fried fish, chips and peas was very good, as was the service. Although the café was full, the service was quick and the attitude of the staff was efficient and friendly ,you can’t say that very often, unfortunately there was no room left for a pudding. Will definitely be returning for more of the same soon. 22 February 2014

Four of us went to the Wetherspoons Railway pub in Lytham. Two were snacking on chicken wings and chips. Two were eating Chilli and rice. All seemed satisfied and also enjoyed the beer, which there is rather a lot of. The only downside is the hike to use the gents.
