Reviews in Fylde Coast and Blackpool

4 of us went to the Ship at Elswick on the May Bank Holiday Monday at just after 2pm, the place was not too busy and we chose a nice table in the conservatory, and settled down with the menu. The wives picked a Curry and Hot Pot respectively, my friend and I went for the “Posh Pie” When it arrived it was served with Frozen Chips that were absolutely the most tasteless I can ever remember having being presented with, the gravy boat content was like liquid gel and the pie though looking good and actually tasted good, had a severe shortage of meat content and the special Stilton Cheese that it was to contain according to the menu, apparently had arrived too late to go into the batch we ate, the Green Beans were good and to be fair our ladies both enjoyed their choices. At £10 for a plate of Pie and Chips, I had expected fresh chips and if the Ships wants to be considered a Good Food Venue as it not really a Pub in the true sense of the word, it needs to think beyond easy options for the chef.Wardie

DISGRACEFUL!!!!!

I had a lovely time at the Red Fort . The food was superb and the staff were very helpful. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Food is cheaply made, not fresh at all.. got a salad box and looked like the insides of a sandwich (hardly anything there) woman very rude terrible customers service when complained when asked for more salad in the measly box, wont be going back.. Dinners ready further down MUCH better down the road get more filling and MUCH more tasty

Having never visited the Restaurant before but had a recommendation to go by my Uncle,my friend Sarah & i decided to to try it and i have to say we thought the meal we had and the service was excellent,we both had the 3 Course Meal Deal,we had a Starter of a Keema Naan,Poppadoms were extra and as was the Chutney tray which we didn't mind paying for,then for the Main Course we had a Chicken Korma,which was gorgeous but we couldn't finish it all so they put it in a tray and paper bag for us to take home,then we finished off with a lovely Coffee & After Eight Mint,with the drinks we had as well it came to around £28 which we thought was really good value for money,we will be going again as the Restaurant as lovely & so are the Staff,they cannot do enough for you,Loved it,THANKS EVERYONE AT THE RED FORT RESTAURANT !!!! SHARON & SARAH.

Whatever you want, you can get at java.Just a coffee, no problem. But I recommend that you try the food. We've been at all times of day. My favourite breakfast is smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on brown. Lunch is great whatever you choose and the soups are fantastic .Do yourself a favour and finish off with banoffee pie! Delicious!

We have been to this restaurant as a couple many times and have loved it everytime. It is the only restaurant we recommend in Blackpool for an excellent meal. On Saturday took a party of six and the food was superb and loved by everyone. Enjoy.

Best place to eat and stay in Blackpool. Lovely owners very friendly atmosphere and the food is to die for - really scrummy authentic grub. Very nice. Try it out. I am glad we did. Hope to go back again soon. Will be booking hotel for our summer break. And they are good with kids.

If you enjoy Thai food, serenity and excellent service then why not have an evening out at Zen. Good company is essential too. The staff are friendly and the food exquisite! The price is reasonable too. A night I will never forget and will go again.....

Very very poor service!!

We ordered and were told thefood would be here by a certain time. Half an hour later it still wasnt here. When we chased it on the phone, the staff were really rude. In total we waited an hour and a half. When the food arrived it was cold and overcooked. It had spilt everywhere and leaked over the rest of the food. Bad experience. Would not recommend at all. Better choice and customer service elsewhere!!

we had a meal at this hotel/restaurant the first week it opened, i was very impressed julie and irkan are a really friendly couple and the food was excellent, we have been back since with some friends and i will be going back again, would recommend this restaurant to anybody

Scrummy, yummy in the old tummy are just a few words which describe Olivers. Bring your own drink combined with the fantastic music and your onto a winner!!

Hi.my opinion on chu's, is to avoid it like the plague!. I ordered chicken with broccoli and a portion of soft noodles. First impressions were good....untill i tasted it!. The chicken was like jelly, sauce full of grease!!. As for the noodles,they were stir fried in to much oil and soya sauce, which made them on the verge of being black! awful. If you like good food like me, STAY AWAY! . The best place to eat chinese food is ZEN in st anne's. There food is AMAZING. They cook with REAL ingredients, not jellied meat.

Works night out, Saturday night, we turned up with an extra diner (!) and although it was absolutely packed , we were accommodated with a different table, no problem. Gave us a chance to enjoy another glass or two of red! Great food, great staff, great atmosphere, can't fault it.

stepping into the Red Fort, Lytham's premier Indian restaurant, you will be greeted with a warm welcome. The food is delicious. Hot spicy dishes to tantalise the taste buds ,from the warming Korma, to the hottest of curries, blended with the finest naga chillies - this is the Naga Lamb, but not for the faint hearted! Ahad and his Staff are their to help and advise with all the dishes on the extensive menu, even displaying a Chef's recommendation each month. Nothing is too much trouble for them. It's a touch of the East in sleepy old Lytham. Restaurants come and go, but this one is truly established, as is its Sister Restaurant, the exclusive Moghul Restaurant in St Annes. Truly the East on a plate, but don't just take my word for it.....................

Last time that I will EVER come here again! The owner & staff are consistently rude & the food is just OK. A party of 9 of us came to eat on Friday night for a retirement do. Had originally booked for 12 but changed it to 8 as some people cancelled. As it was 9 turned up, ONE extra person & the owner went mad! Swinging his arms about, shouting No! No! Nine's too many! You said 8! Shouting that he could not possibly fit an extra person in! We thought he was joking at first but when we realised he was serious (!) we decided to leave & find somewhere else to eat in Poulton as it is not lacking in nice restaurants but our party had already ordered 2 bottles of champagne whilst waiting for the table & we hadn't finished these. One of the waiters managed to eventually fit another chair round the table (it wasn't that hard!) while the owner was still creating a scene! Of course the atmosphere was shattered so we kept drinking to a minimum after that, not wishing to spend our money there. After the meal, the waiters brought the dessert menu round, we considered it but all declined, at that he said "Well you've got 10 minutes to leave then as we've got another party coming in that needs the table"! What would he have done if we HAD wanted a dessert? Put them in doggy bags for us while we left?! A few of our party asked for coffee & although this was not refused, the waiter was clearly exasperated & there was a lot of puffing & eye-rolling! This is not the first time the staff & owners have been rude there but the 3 previous times it was 'bordering' on the funny/ludicrous (such as the time we asked for pepper from a pepper meal to be told by the owner that he didn't have one as this was 'old-fashioned' & instead he promptly unscrewed the pepper shaker on the table & sprinkled some on my friend's meal with his bare fingers!) but this time it was just rude. From what I could see the people waiting to 'fill the place' were all teenagers who obviously had been tempted in by the half-price menu, for a cheap pizza before they spent their money in the neighbouring clubs. I believe this restaurant is quiet during the week, with service like this I wonder why...... Never again!

Dined here last week in the new Atrium which is a fantastic extension to this restaurant. Great staff, great food. May it continue to prosper!
