Reviews in Lancashire

Genuinely one of the strangest restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. We were ignored for the first five minutes while multiple staff members wandered around the floor, and it honestly felt like everyone was on their very first shift — like opening day chaos or some kind of undercover boss prank. The staff behaviour was incredibly odd and quickly became really irritating. People kept hovering silently around tables without actually speaking, appearing out of nowhere and then disappearing again. There was zero communication between them — we were asked about desserts three different times by three different people after already saying not yet. It felt like nobody knew what anyone else was doing, and the constant interruptions became genuinely annoying. The whole atmosphere was uncomfortable rather than welcoming, and by the end of it we felt more irritated than relaxed. We were sat in the middle of the restaurant with the sun blinding us, and when we asked to move, we were offered an even worse table, which just added to the frustration. Service felt confused, disorganised and honestly quite unsettling. The food unfortunately matched the experience — bland, disappointing, and not worth putting up with the annoyance. Overall: very strange staff, uncomfortable atmosphere, and poor food. Definitely won’t be back.

Mum and I would like to thank the wonderful team at work yesterday for their kindness and patience as we were delayed sitting at our table. We had a delicious meal each, we’ll return when we can and will recommend Maxy‘s Farm Pantry & Restaurant to everyone.

Hi, We came to the restaurant for the third time, but appears to have gone slightly down hill? Service was really slow, including delivering drinks. We waited about an hour from ordering starters to receiving the main meal. The main lady grafting and always cheerful, seemed she running around alot and the young lad didn't connect and didn't raise a smile. The food was very Luke warm and the sirloin steak that came with the mushrooms and beans tasted a bit of a strange combination? Too sweet. Steak was also rare and not medium rare. Plates were cold which didn't help. Sorry, a bit put off. Not sure if there has been a change of chef and not enough staff maybe. We shall try again, but will leave for a bit.

Visited Traders Arms 27/02/2026 for family celebration Staff were all very good especially Ash.

Quatros is amazing food is always delicious staff are so friendly we never have to wait everything on time we go every week

The staff are lovely, especially the young woman that works there she is a credit to you. We had a choice of seats which was good for our family. Breakfast was ok, most of the produce seemed to be great quality, I personally wasn't a fan of the bacon but others in my party enjoyed it, and there was plenty left so we weren't waiting however it was cold, although it's sat under lamps it wasn't even Luke warm apart from the beans but I think they'd just been replenished. Also we wanted to order extra things but the staff weren't around to ask so had to wait for someone to come through which was around 10 minutes. We were dissapointed as we have eaten here before and the food is always delicious but the buffet style breakfast just wasn't up to that standard at all. It's put us off trying other buffet style events you do.

I meet up with friends for lunch at The Traders every couple of months or so. There's always a good, relaxed atmosphere, staff are friendly & helpful and the food is really good & freshly prepared.

I cannot fault anything, been a few times lately, staff are awesome and the food OMG its perfect, I had the greek dish and the steak frites twice. Steak cooked to perfection and the chicken on the greek dish was amazing, I have never had chicken that good before. Honestly it is well worth a visit you will not be disappointed.

Very good food, lovely and friendly atmosphere and staff.

Lovely evening nice food great service

5 star

A beautiful setting, responsive and very friendly staff, and the best tasting Indian food I’ve had for a long time. Our party of 4 all tasted each other’s dishes and the food was all exceptionally flavourful without being drowned by too much heat/spice. We had the best evening out and paid a very reasonable price for it too. Very highly recommended - “Sultans” are definitely one of the food highlights of Lancaster.

Fabulous service. Friendly, attentive staff. Food amazing as usual. Thank you

Had a lovely lunch from the lunchtime specials.. Excellent value.. Great service Very tasty food. Staff always Very friendly

My friend and I visit here regularly and it NEVER disappoints. We are always able to book a nice table, the staff are always professional and friendly and the food is always amazing. I had the delicious black pasta with seafood, it was gorgeous. My friend and I always save room for a dessert and the pistachio semifredo was truly delicious. Can’t for our next visit. Thank you and well done team Quattros for great food at a very reasonable price too.

Been coming here for years the food has always been delicious. Nice atmosphere fast service and lovely staff.
