Reviews in Garstang

We visited the restaurant due to Ian Piper (owner/head chef) having provided our wedding breakfast whilst chef at 'The Villa' last summer. Again we were not disappointed, the decor, atmosphere, service and most importantly the food was excellent. We were a party of 6 and felt the restaurant suits all group sizes. We dined on a Sunday at lunch-time and felt the menu offered choice and good value. Will definitely return!

I went here as I heard the same guys who have The Plough Inn @ Galgate have taken it over. It was lovely the food was very good standard and the view of the Lancaster canal was a real treat. Will definitely be back.

What a lovely place. I went with my boyfriend and a rather huge hangover but by the time I'd finished my meal I felt fantastic. The service is brilliant as it always is with the Italians. We had a cheese and garlic bread between us (thank god, the portions are BIG) and then I had a lasagne which was delicious, he had a pizza which he said was the best he'd tasted in a long time. We had a lovely time and are planning to go again soon and stay over. Have I good time when you go!!!

Me and my boyfriend go here all the time, casually and for special occasions. Its our favourite Chinese and i would recommend to anybody the staff are friendly the foods great whether sitting in or taking out!

TOP CLASS PUB / RESTAURANT

although a new restaurant, it was very clear from the cheery staff and lovely atmosphere that it was going to be an excellent meal. i have eaten at the villa many times before which is where Mr Piper has come from. the food was excellent, very filling and extremely tasty. i thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the meal and will definitely be visiting there again. Excellent reports.

As we have young children we don't got out very often. When we do, it is to Tapenada as we always get an excellent reception, lovely food and good wine. Would recommend it strongly.

I have been going to Guy's for years now. I have made friends with all of the staff especially the warm-hearted pizza chef "Christian". Check out their mid-week 50/50 offers. The food is absolutely delicious. I love their steaks and puddings. Take your family there as everyone will love it. I am of young age (12) but have been going since I was about 4 and that is saying something. And I like food!!!

We visited Tapenada on Friday night and were completely blown away. The starters (fresh tuna tempura, and spinach roulade) were amazing and substantial. Likewise our main courses (salmon, and guinea fowl in chocolate sauce) were wonderful. The service was fantastic and friendly. My only disappointment was that tapas is only served up to a certain time in the early evening, but I will certainly be returning one teatime soon to try them out!

Wonderful food. Great Chinese beer. The most friendliest staff you could hope to meet. Danny and Joanne will make sure you have the best time

superb

The Name of the Tavern is Owd Nell's and not Old???? the food and service was perfect. They looked after the kids and my disabled mother like they were their own. The place is very friendly and so quaint. The have special occasions on all the time, we just missed the Oyster Festival but have booked for their "Not so scary" Halloween for the kids and adults. Brill keep it going.

Like one of your last customers said, the pizza was made by Christian and Alfonso who let the kids put their own toppings on after it had come down from spinning in the air to the amusement of all the customers. We had 12 fresh oysters and a bit of garlic bread to nibble at before we chose our meal. I had the tiger prawns a size I've never seen before then plumped for the Aberdeen Angus Ribeye steak which was cooked to perfection Mmmmmmm!!! We had a couple of litres of Guy's Plonque that was £12.95 and more than just plonque. Home made bread and butter pudding and a half pint of Artois Bock at 6.8% I was ready for my taxi home. I could have stayed in the lodge at Owd Nell's Tavern and should have done. It was fantastic for meat fish and service. Well done!!!!

Well worth a visit. Food is fresh and well presented, not overly priced. Big enough inside eating and drinking area to avoid TV screen and noise if you don't appreciate football and the like. Surrounding area is worth exploring especially the canal tow path.

Went there for a meal for the first time and the food was fabulous, great range and choice of dishes available for caters for all tastes, service by waitresses was excellent, will definitely be returning there again

had the homemade soup delicious with lovely wholemeal fresh bread ordered the mini grill which could have fed two magnificent good pub grub make sure your hungry !!!!!!!

What a find, service is excellent, food is fantastic. Prices are very good and offer excellent value when choosing the set dinners and on buffet nights. Always great portions.

Really nice starter of sweet, fresh tomatoes, tangy pesto and a soft, young mozzarella. This was followed by an equally good main of some of the best lamb ever, so sweet and tender noissettes stuffed with apricots and saffron rice. The coriander crushed potatoes which accompanied it were outstanding. A thick, sticky jus complimented the aroma of the potatoes and saffron with the sweetness of the meat perfectly. A little disappointed with the dessert, orange marinated in grand marinara, nice, - but orange skin was a bit thought. All in all, a truly fabulous meal - with very nice wine too.
