Reviews in Lancashire

Had a fabulous lunch here this week. The food was exceptional. Great staff. Very warm welcome. Recommend the cauliflower and the ribs. Best place in Rawtenstall.

Lunch yesterday, perfect as always

We went to the Bee's Kitchen on Wednesday 7/5/25. There were 3 of us - my husband, my sister -in-law and me and we all said how good the food was. Unfortunately we all had the same - steak pie - and it was excellent. It was freshly cooked as were the potatoes and vegetables. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. When we next visit we will each try something different so that we can compare what we have. Thanks very much for a very pleasant experience.

We haven't been to Papas for a while due to a bad meal last year, however we have since moved to within walking distance so thought we'd give it another go. The new decor is a vast improvement however I have to say unfortunately the food was not. We ordered off the early bird menu which seemed to have good choice and good value for money. It started off well, the starters where nice although a little basic. It went down hill when the mains arrived. My daughter's pasta was cold, the pork loin was like it had been cooked last week- it was very dry! And the roast potatoes were the worst roast potatoes we've ever had. I do have to say there is a very good dessert menu though, that's the only thing we would return for. We wait to be asked if everything was ok to give our feed back however this was never asked even at the point of paying. Very disappointing.

My steak pie was lovely as usual but it seemed much smaller than last time Fine for me but it wouldn't have been enough for my husband especially as the chips were bland and unappetising tonight. He enjoyed his ribs plus fries and salad, said they were the best he'd had but was not impressed with them being served on a wobbly board. Why do chefs still do this? Service was excellent, our waitress was very pleasant and attentive.

Quality food at a reasonable prices. Lovely staff and service

Absolutely love Sam and all the staff. Food is always amazing too xx

Great service and fantastic food

Excellent selection of traditional fare, well cooked and presented. Bar/restaurant comfortable with tasteful decor.

Definitely would not recommend this restaurant its aim is to provide a fine dining experience but it’s far from that. The staff are rude and dismissive and the food is nothing special You can definitely find better restaurants in the Manchester area that is better value of money.

Food was amazing! The staff were lovely, really friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back soon.

Foid mediocre. Drinks service very slow on more than one occasion.

As always our food was excellent, no complaints there. However the service was disappointing. There were only two serving drinks and food, their job made more difficult with customers sat outside and coming in and out for drinks. They did their best but were overwhelmed at times.

Always a warm welcome from the team whenever we visit .. Fifth time we've been for a meal since it reopened , food is cooked fresh and was fantastic again . Staff are attentive n friendly n nothing is too much bother . No complaints whatsoever n we will be back again ..

10 out of ten for the food, bit disappointed that no dark fruit or magners cider. Will be back soon would like to try a Sunday roast.
