Reviews in Garstang

Very very very good !!!! Highly reccomend it !!!

We visited the Sparling recently for the first time as it is a Hi-Life Platinum restaurant . We are so glad we did because this is a truly fab venue; clean, modern decor, relaxed atmosphere, roaring open fires and well-spaced out tables so you can enjoy some privacy even when other diners are sitting nearby. The heating had broken just as the snow arrived so Neil brought individual heaters to the tables to keep everyone warm and toasty. We felt like nothing was too much trouble, and that the staff truly cared that you had a great dining experience, not just a nice meal. We are really looking forward to returning again as the menu had a great choice, the food was delicious and plentiful and of a very high standard. We both went with Neil's recommendations and were so glad we did as our meals were divine. Can't praise this place highly enough.

Went with 2 friends this week; we all had excellent food; Too bad there was a power outage in mid-afternnon inwhich no one could get coffee or anything hot for that matter!! This will certainly not detract us from returning real soon'FRANK

Visited the new refurbished pub today for lunch, using 25 off voucher from the Facebook page. Lovely pub, decor smart nd modern with a country feel. Glasses weren't sparkling clean which is odd for this type of place. Food was delicious we had black pudding and pâté starters, chicken stuffed with salmon and fish n chips, followed by STP. With drinks £36 before voucher discount. Staff good but the processes are letting them down, a lot of food wandering around looking for its owners. This kind of place and these prices should be table service. We had good service when all around we're suffering poor service and long waits for meals. We'll go back , was glad we went early. Don't be put off try for yourselves.

My daughter,her year old son and 10 friends with their 8 children under 18 months all went here for lunch today. All the mums ordered a main meal and drink for themselves. Then the trouble started. The waitress pointed out that the babies could not consume their own home prepared food. Then it was pointed out that entrance fees had not been paid, but this was a pre booked birthday party. The final insult from a senior staff member was that the mother holding the party should not use her own, home prepared dinosaur cake. This is a special childrens venue who obviously dislike children....avoid it if you want a happy experience..go somewhere else where the little ones are seen as future customers!!

The ambiance of this establishment is intoxicating and the management have managed to preserve that magical atmosphere for all the years I have been dinning here. The quality of the staff and food is superb and never deviates in its excellence. Ian Feltell.

What a hidden gem! Can honestly say the cheese and onion pie is the best I've ever had! My new favourite place to eat!

I go to Jean's Pantry regularly, usually once a week but sometimes it can be more. Lovely atmosphere and it feels really friendly. In going so often, you get to know one another and it feels like you're a member of the family.

prices up ..ready for sale .get rich quick..other cafes much better .

Stayed here many times 10/10 every time

Food good. My experience of some of the staff is poor. Lady behind counter was unfortunately rude and lacking in customer service skills.

Ali and his staff are great, friendly, always remember us and their food is always grade A. Recommend that anyone pops in and watches them get to work in the kitchen preparing delicious food for a very reasonable price.

Had a great meal there last week,fine food,good ale and first class service by friendly staff.

Was looking for a good meal however service very slow. 4 tables occupied only, had two with us 45 minutes later still no food. Very poor.

if the food had been spectacular i would not have minded the dire service however it wasn't. it was OK but not good enough to be snapped at by the woman behind the counter. my food had taken longer than expected and id enquired about it as the 2 customers behind me had already been served and left, at this point i felt the response had been more abrupt than necessary but accepted the response that there was a wait for the sausages to be cooked. I was then conversing with the customer behind about the difference between a sandwich and a butty and was rudely instructed not to be "slagging them off to the other customers" . I assume she decided that was what our conversation was about but it wasn't although if id known how rude she would be it might well have been. certainly shan't eat there again. Ive heard them be rude to people before and bought fish which turned out to be stale a fortnight ago - hence the sausages this time. enough is enough ill find somewhere else to buy.

Fancied a day out in the Lancashire countryside. We visited Cobble Hey Farm with our son. We really enjoyed our lunch before we visited the animals in the barn and had a lovely walk around the gardens!

We tendered a PREMIER INN CARD at the outset of the meal and it was dismissed.At the end of the meal they stated that they could/would not take THE PREMIER INN CORPORATE CARDS and that we could not leave until cash or another means of payment was secured..THE DIRECTORS PENDLE ASSET MANAGEMENT LTD

nice food but owners very sarcastic and took the edge off our day
