Reviews in Fylde Coast and Blackpool

my wife and i have just had our wedding reception at the Venue, 120 hungry guests arrived and were superbly looked after by Thomas, and his staff the mediterranean style buffet was mouthwatering, with piri piri chicken home made lasagna, pizzola loaded potato skins numerous salads and the best chunky chips in the world all the guests went back at least once more and still the food kept coming! all served to us by professional attentive staff, and to add to that the bar was fully stocked and the prices easily one of the cheapest places in Blackpool with bitter at £2.50, and lager at £2.80, plus house doubles and premium drinks if you want a function of any kind THIS IS THE PLACE STOP LOOKING!!!

First time at the Mayflower not from Blackpool but what a meal really tasty would highly recommend good service and fantastic prices to 03/03/2012

fantastic place to eat, very friendly, great food

On a negative though,the wine is bit on the expensive side... Sorry....

This was our first trip to the ship. It was excellent! The menu was great and the children's menu had much to offer. It had a lovely feel to the place and the conservatory is a great place to dine!! Will certainly be returning to this establishment !!!

Had our first meal at this great place.. Beautiful, although have to say felt rushed and was asked to move after finishing our meals. Wanted to stay and drink more wine but seating could not allow us... Shame..

we have been already at this restaurant about a year ago and already at the time was not much.But being invited could not say no, simply not a good restaurant the first Italian restaurant where even the pizza is awful.then i wonder why an Italian restaurant does not have Italian staff ??????

I was recommended to have the chili beef OMG it was awesome, also the prawn toast was yummy, the lady that served me(Hayley) was very pleasant and couldn't do enough for me. thanks Welcome Takeaway you ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

Just back from another short stay at St Anne's and guess where we ate again? Wouldn't think of going anywhere else but The Ship Inn. This is my second review and as before all our expectations were fully met both with the food and the staff. Only one complaint! Having lost 6 stones it is hard keeping the weight off and the fabulous choice has me drooling, I simply have a lovely meal, enjoy the whole experience and go back to my restricted eating when I get back home. Menu is fantastic and for a vegetarian there are also lots of choices. Hope to be back again late August. Looking forward to the Grilled Goats Cheese starter followed by Vegetarian Moussaka already! Highly recommend to everyone - you will not be disappointed!

we have been eating here for the last 6 years everytime we come to Blackpool about 3 times a year and we have never had a bad steak. the service is always excellent and very friendly.would recommend to any and everyone. good value for money xxx

Ten of us booked a meal at San Marcos over a month ago. We arrived half an hour before the due time and were told that our table would be ready shortly, We had a drink in the waiting area but when our booking time arrived, the table was still not ready. We complained and were told that the previous occupants had not finished and were taking more than the two hours allocated for eating. Eventually we were shown to our table 55 minutes after our booking time. Our order had been taken while we waited so food appeared almost immediately. It was very good and were it not for the delayed service I would be be recommending this restaurant. We asked the people who had vacated our table what time they had sat down and they admitted it was only an hour and a quarter before our booking time. Hence the manager's excuse was not valid. There was also another large group who had a booking time before ours who sat down at the same time as ours,

Had first meal at Pulchi last night, I loved the food, the seafood pasta was delicious. Will definitely be returning for more. I loved the ambiance of the place too.

Had my daughter's 21st here in the function room. I can not praise the place enough. The food was excellent and the service was better than excellent. Having eaten here many times before I was expecting it to be good and it didn't disappoint.

The Punchbowl, what a fantastic place to eat, we have tried it twice now and cannot wait for our next visit. The food, the service, the atmosphere and the decor is just a dream. The only problem is I keep recommending it to friends so one of these days it will be too busy to get in. EXCELLENT

On Monday 20th February we went to Vesuvio for a family meal to celebrate our mothers 70th birthday. We were a party of eleven, and the only people in the restaurant all night. We had a cake made for her which we took along. When the time came for the cake to be presented, the waiter just put it on the table with no candles, no music or anything. We said to the waiter are there no candles, and he brought one out, but the moment had gone. Most restaurants nowadays play birthday music, but nothing it was as if they couldn't be bothered. There was some of the party had meatballs and they said they were bland. This was a special occasion which was ruined.

Recession, what recession? This place was packed this last (post-Valentine) weekend which tells you what you need to know. Food was good, atmosphere great and my only slight criticism would be that the courses whizzed out of the kitchen way too fast. Maybe they were hoping to turn the table.

Along with the Cartford Inn at Little Ecc, the Queens in Lytham is IMHO doing the best pub food on the Fylde right now. Had a great meal there last night (Monday). My main of smoked haddock with mash and a poached egg was to die for and the golden syrup sponge with clotted cream dessert wasn't far behind.

Fantastic family run establishment! What a warm welcome always received in the restaurant by Queenie and her girlies! Topped off by the scrumptious homemade pies and fish cooked to perfection by the big Ron himself! Really makes you glad you came!! Keep it up guys
