Reviews in Fylde Coast and Blackpool

Visited on Saturday 15th October 2011. Our table was booked for 9pm & we arrived 5 mins early - we were still sat in reception area at 9.30! They came & took our order & finally showed us to our table at 9.45. We thought as we had ordered already the waiting would be over. We got our starters at just after 10pm! We then waited again for the main courses & kept being told they were on the way. By 10.35 pm we were still waiting. The food finally arrived & there was a dish missing! The waitress hadn't written it down!! The food was lovely, but the waiting ruined the evening. We will definitely not be going again & will not recommend to others! Other people have now told me of similar experiences. Such a shame as the food is really good!

The Queens has had a refurb. Was excited to see it. Looks a lot better with its quirky feel. I love the distressed furniture, chalkboards and especially the ducks heads on the wall. I only wish it would go down that quirky route even more in the style of tenanted pubs in London. Didn't eat but enjoyed a well poured pint of Guinness with my dog!

We have been twice now and taken the elderly clients we work with,we all said they are the best fish and chips we had ever had!!!1,I'm coming next Saturday with the family its my mums birthday and my dad said take us to this Taylor's you keep on about,,,Nikki

We had a meal there on Friday,what a beautiful restaurant,good value for money and good service.The food was tasteless, I and two of my party agreed.I last went two years ago with the same problem,I thought it would have improved by now.

After booking weeks for 16 people for a Saturday night, we arrived at the restaurant to find it full and that our party could not be accommodated. No reasonable explanation given from the staff, however it would seem they'd been greedy and given our table to people that had come in off the street. Very poor management, we will not be recommending this restaurant to others. Luckily we were able to get into another restaurant in Poulton to celebrate our friends birthday.

excellent food, excellent friendly service.My Husband and i often walk down for a meal as we live close by and sometimes take our baby girl . The staff are so friendly and helpful. I remember once, when we had really bad ice and snow, the waiter came down and delivered the food on foot as i was 7 months pregnant and didn't want to slip on the ice. Highly recommended!

I took my wife into the Mews for a nice romantic meal and we were very disappointed , the service we received was in no other word but ignorant, and obnoxious. The food was JUST about average, the only smile we received during the whole night was when we paid, we will never be setting foot inside this back street restaurant again !!!

Brilliant restaurant food, service and atmosphere all to a high standard, will definitely be going back..

many a weekend morning I've phoned through to order the Dolphin's large breakfast.... belly bursting good and friendly service from the staff when I go in to pick up the order for take out - basic but well cooked cafe grub and very fairly priced - the only niggle is the bacon.... splash out a little guys and get higher quality stuff cos it makes a good brekkie

it was the best restaurant ever xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

eaten here a few times over the years and while not my favourite restaurant, I always leave feeling satiated and well looked after.... my last meal of squid and courgette in olive oil and garlic served mixed into a huge bowl of spaghetti was divine on the palate and filling in the belly.... a great choice of dishes and a fun and friendly atmosphere, always a pleasure to dine here.

First time here and was suitably impressed. It was buzzing on a Saturday night with the boss much in evidence making sure everyone got served promptly, despite the crowd. Recommended.

When eating on a budget, Thornton lodge takes the crown on the Fylde coast.... the food is excellently prepared, the staff friendly and efficient and I have yet to be disappointed. Always a treat and for the kind of money it would cost to eat at one of those awful american chain burger places (you know the one, haha), you will leave much more satisfied and having had a good time. The huge burger I had last time defeated me at the last hurdle...... drive past the River Wyre Hotel and eat here instead........ nuff said ;~)

having eaten here twice while taking advantage of a two-for-one offer in the local rag, I have to say what a cracking carvery they put on....... juicy and well cooked choice of roast meats and free top-ups of the veg including their excellent roasties.... my gf and I ate here a few weeks ago and left stuffed to bursting having spent under £15 and that included a couple of drinks each.... amazing and the price does not reflect the high quality grub.... good work folks.

I'm a big fan of the Venue and it's excellent restaurant, La Mezza Luna.... while the Grill Room Menu is pretty standard pub fayre, the quality is second to none on the Fylde Coast.... excellent portions, attention to detail (letting steaks rest when cooked rare etc) and efficient, friendly service. My favourite pub for food and entertainment and that applies to the whole of the UK.... a very satisfied customer every time I visit.

First ate here I was full of flu, but my brother insisted on taking me out for dinner for my birthday..... Their Jalfrezi is superb and the staff friendly and helpful... helped clear my head too, so I guess I could state their food has medicinal properties, hahahaha. The second time was ordering take-away for delivery and there was a cock up with our order... the duty manager actually came back with the missing items along with a number of complimentary extras by way of apology.... this was above and beyond what I would expect and was greatly appreciated... all in all a cracking restaurant and priced exceptionally fairly

The Trafalgar was amazing from start to finish!! Delicious paella made us feel like we were on holiday, the owners were so friendly and the Sax player absolutely topped off our evening perfectly. Cant wait to go again!!

Stopped in here for a quick snack lunch while shopping with my partner. We opted for the Combo platter, which came with chicken goujons, lightly battered prawns, potato wedges and breaded mushrooms plus several dips. The food was all pre-frozen fayre but cheap and cheerful was what we required and the lovely if slightly ditzy waitress was attentive and friendly. My only complaint would be the very wilted salad but as the heat of the day was stifling, I would let this go. Nice outdoor seating and a general buzz made it a satisfying if simple lunch.... great for a mid-shop break
