Reviews in Fylde Coast and Blackpool

Having travelled extensively in South East Asia and lived in Thailand itself for 3 months I would like to consider myself a bit of an expert in Thai food. I have eaten at the Mews a number of times since returning home to Poulton and have never once left unimpressed. The food is not pretending to be authentic as a lot Asian restaurants are, it IS authentic. Its just like the food is in Thailand, all be it with much larger portions!! The people who have posted links claiming the service was slow should take a moment to think about what they are complaining about. Would you rather go to a restaurant and have a green curry poured out of a large pan re heated and rushed out to your table or would you rather go to a restaurant and wait a little longer and have a brilliant freshly prepared meal? I know what i would rather have. Of course you sometimes have to wait and if your going to a small restaurant like that on a busy Saturday night you are bound to have to wait longer for your food. You need to just do the "Thai thing" and kick back enjoy your surroundings and sink a few ice cold Singha's whilst you wait. This place really is a gem and i'm so glad that it is on my doorstep!

I am very pleased to say that the staff and food never seem to fail. The weekend just gone I went with my fiancee to celebrate being together for 7 years. The quality of the whole experience was what it has always been and I will certainly start to visit as a regular customer again. These guys are great well worth it for good food, value for money and the friendly staff make a very pleasant evening. Enjoy!

meal was fantasic and real value for money, service was good . well worth another visit.

Five of us went out for my girlfriends birthday on a Monday night. The Olive Tree was pretty busy which was a great sign in these times. The young front of house staff were attentive on arrival and did a good job throughout the night. We all opted for the Mezze which was excellent. The house wine was good and the place serves Peroni on tap. The Olive Tree has a really nice ambience in the evening though I fancy trying it out on a sunny day Al Fresco. Round off your meal with Greek coffee if you dare, I still haven't been to sleep....

Very nice site!

i have been coming here for the past 12 years with my family and friends and we cannot make one complaint about this wonderful place the food and staff are great and are very pleasant 5 stars .

best in thornton area its a must

Very impressed with Java. After many failed attempts at success by the former owner under a different name, this venue should be successful. The place looks good, bright and clean. The staff look sharp in their city style aprons. Everything on the menu was very reasonably priced and I really like the selection of dishes. Part cafe and restaurant with English and Italian influences. Its a bar as well with Warsteiner and Peroni on tap. They have also managed to bag Illy coffee which in my opinion is the best around. Good luck to them at Java.

For the past 10 years we have dined regularly at Jacks. The food is always good quality, well presented and reasonably priced. There is also a good choice of wines. The early bird/specials menu changes weekly and always has something new to try on it. Keith and his staff always make us very welcome and we have not found anywhere to beat this restaurant.

Our group really enjoyed the Toast experience. Menu was brilliant so much choice, service brilliant and with a smile. We will be visiting again and spreading to word

The michaels restaurant in thronton has been since its inception of some rude asians,the worst restaurants I have ever visited. Its not that I hate my Asian brothers who work there as I visit them regularly. Over the years I have marvelled at how this particular restaurant could manage to consistently upset the asians who visit them on table with providing poor customer service. Then this Thursday this went worse to more worse.when i went with my friend's and family. I have given up on the minimal thank you as this is now a rarity in many establishments. This organisation must train its employees NOT to ignore its customers(who are asians) as they are just too good at it. Just when I thought their service had hit bottom, today they managed to best their worst. Firstly the TEAM was of foolish people who after a lot of discussions with grt difficulty made to our table. without once actually looking at us,(I have to admit I am no Brad Pitt, but I'm not Freddie Kruger either) they took an order, they never had a smile or a thanks gesture.then the food was served which i dont know for what reason was tasting like a sweet dish.while we were having our meal no one ever enquired if we were alryt with everything, it was as if we were having that meals for free of cost.when we were half way through the meal they made us uncomfortable by asking if we have finished the meal while such alot of food was visible on our plates. As we finished the meal the waiter with ugly looks(the specs guy) comes on and grabs all the plates asking the ladies to hand over the knives and forks while the good lady was giving him that he snatched them away as if we were taking them home. As I marvelled at his dexterity, I wondered why someone with such talent was not in Cirque du Soleil amazing young and old with his food service acrobatics. I was going to say something but then simply accepted this performance as part of the deal. Which was not new with this asian people.I finally decided to tell the manager but he was not available so thought to write this piece in an effort to alert others looking for good food and service.

I have been going to the "Traf" for 40 years. It has passed from parents to sons in that time. I have NEVER had a bad meal there whether it is from the al a carte or early bird menu - excellent.

Had heard a fair bit about this place so we thought we'd give a go, and wow we loved it, the food was absolutely DELICIOUS :D and the staff made us feel so at home! We had 3 courses for £7.95 which we reckoned was great value, give it a go you won't be disappointed!

i think this is the best Chinese takeaway in the fylde. the staff are always polite and willing to help, the food is always outstanding never had a bad meal

My wife and I recently had lunch in the Horn Inn in Churchtown. We did not want a full meal so decided on soup and a sandwich. £3.95 for a plate of tasteless lukewarm minestrone with a piece of crusty bread and butter and £5.45 for a single stringy roast beef sandwich with a small pot of watery coleslaw and some greenery. Terrible value, the worst I've had for a long time, it's going to be the New Holly or Punchbowl in future!

WHAT A FANTASTIC RESTAURANT !!!! EVERY TIME I GO TO BLACKPOOL, I MUST EAT HERE, FOOD IS AMAZING , STAFF ARE SO FRIENDLY, RELAXING DECOR AND SPOTLESSLY CLEAN

Visited in April and found their seafood platter special a real treat. Great variety of good quality fish. The owners Jason and Elizabeth couldn’t have been more hospitable. Appreciate their respect for the original characterful features of the old cottage too since the tasteful refurb, such as maintaining the beach cobbled wall. Their own Tartar sauce is wonderful.
