Reviews in Lancashire

Food excellent, staff delightful. Only downside is the room wasn’t quite comfortably warm enough

Warm friendly welcome. Calm comfortable atmosphere. Food was served and presented beautifully. Excellent menu and our choice was first class. Thank you very much.

Awesome Sunday roast as always

Recent birthday visit for my partner’s birthday.food was lovely as always.wasnt overly impressed with the extremely small portion of sticky toffee pudding with a tiny scoop of ice cream which came to nearly £14..would rather pay for a starter in future as I don’t think this is value for money.

As always excellent food.

Excellent food in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Would highly recommend

Excellent food and service, we all enjoyed it and we were a party of 8. Would highly recommend the Sunday lunch!

Such a gorgeous place to eat . We returned this time with elderly parents and our son and his partner. As always we were greeted warmly by staff and nothing as usual was too much trouble our food was delicious and the staff made a fuss of my son as it was his Birthday celebration. Would recommend the lobster linguini .

Always a good venue for wholesome foods. Extensive menus giving lots of choice. Recommend to book as limited walk in availability. Staff are good and friendly. Sometimes it takes a little time for food to arrive but at least you know food it freshly prepared. Like many resturants can be a little cool so take a jumper. Overall a truly great venue.

I booked the Lunesdale for 5/2 at 1pm for 4 our friends arrived before us and were told there was no reservation under our name which obviously perplexed them - and me when we arrived soon after particularly as I had received confirmation of the booking on email. The service was prompt, although a bit more training might be in order on how to deliver food and clear the table - lots of leaning across people with plates rather than walking around the table to deliver/collect plates. Or asking us to pass the plate. Two of us had fish and chips, the fish was over cooked and dry and the mushy peas tasted burnt. One person had the kebab, the chicken was tough and another had a chicken and broad bean dish, the chicken was overcooked and dry. Not a good result. With a bottle of wine and a glass of red and one starter the bill was £137.00 for a disappointing experience.

Very enjoyable evening sat by the log fire. We had starters, mains and coffees - all very good. Our two servers were very attentive, polite and efficient. Would recommend.

Very professional efficient and friendly staff. Food is always first class quality. Extensive menu ,pleasant decor ,comfortable seating and relaxing music.

Friday tea out with friends in a group of 6. We've been to the Whitchaff too many times to count and rarely had any cause for complaint. Friendly staff, efficient service and delicious food, as usual.

Excellent food and service

The food was excellent and the lady who served us was great. However, when we arrived, I wasn't happy with where we had our table, as it was directly in front of a massive TV screen, and it was on. So I asked a person behind the bar if we could move, as I could watch TV at home, and wanted a table and meal where I could talk to my guests. The person said there was nowhere ,so I asked if I could have my deposit back. She called to the manager, who was OK, he offered to move us and he would turn the TV off. I was so grateful, as it was my 72nd birthday. However my grandson heard a member of staff complaining about me making a fuss. We won't be going there again as the place has changed from the last ti e we visited. They have put in a dartboard and pool table. The music was so loud everyone around us raised their voices, because that was the only way to be heard.

Visited Riley’s Saturday afternoon having booked a table for 2. Lovely welcoming staff, nice food and drinks and dog very welcome too. Good value for money and will be visiting again.

Spent a lovely afternoon at Riley's celebrating a birthday with a delicious afternoon tea. Always a lovely vibe, friendly staff who go out of their way to be helpful, and a great drinks menu. The afternoon tea had a vast assortment of sandwiches, pastries, cakes and sweet treats, and the kids version was equally spectacular and enormous! Love it here. Our favourite place for the amazing pizza and cocktails, now we can add afternoon tea to our visits too, thank you!

Great food. Lots of choice. Very welcoming staff. A lovely venue for relaxed family dining. Accessible parking for those who struggle with walking would be beneficial.
