Reviews in Lancashire

Been here many times and not a bad meal. Sadly this was an exception. It was busy, the week leading to Christmas and we were told the food would be a 40 minute wait - no problem! However, we sat near the kitchen and watched as food piled up on the pass under hot lamps for more than 10 mins. And staff not batting an eye lid. We noticed one bowl of wings waiting to be sent out that we’re waiting for more than 15 mins along with several bowls of chips. When our food came we found that those wings were ours along with a bowl of fries and onion rings. All cold. When we told staff no one apologised and when the food was redone (or reheated in some cases) there was again no apology. I get it’s Christmas and busy but having worked in hospitality before there is no cost for saying sorry or checking in to see if everything is okay. I think maybe some communication between the kitchen staff needs to happen?

Nice evening spent with my wife and myself . Lovely atmosphere and quality service and food . The staff were excellent.

We enjoyed an excellent 3 course Christmas meal on Thursday 22/12/22.. The food was very good and the service was excellent. It was certainly good value for money. With only 3 couples in at lunchtime there was little atmosphere. The restaurant was tastefully set out and I look forward to returning in an evening.

Fantastic Christmas Meal. Plenty of food, quality produce and superb value for money.

I've green going yo the Whitchaff for several years and it was always good. I have been very impressed with it since the recent refurbishment too. I visited with a friend a few days before Christmas and it was really good. They were busy, but the food and service were excellent - we both had the turkey dinner and it was hot, plentiful and delicious. Overall excellent all round.

Another great lunch yesterday. Always loved the food and atmosphere here and since the refurb it’s taken things up another level. Best pub in the area for food quality and value for money.

We had a lovely late lunch here and I will definitely be returning. The food was fabulous and the service perfect. Rawtenstall has so much to offer and this was the perfect start to a great evening. I’d definitely recommend bringing friends and trying as many different plates as poss!

Love Quattros, excellent food and always great value for money. Would highly recommend!

Excellent service and lovely tasty food. We were waited on by Amy who was friendly and very helpful. Beautiful views. Very impressed and recommend, thank you.

Excellent food lovely service..this is my favourite restaurant

A delicious festive lunch was enjoyed by the family. The team and ambience are 5 star. A little parky on the first floor but other than that we all thoroughly enjoyed the meal, thank you.

This restaurant never fails to please . We have come a number of times over the years . A lovely warm glowing fire , a friendly welcome, delicious authentic Italian pizza , excellent cocktails and they always stock Campari- a drink that every bar in Italy has . What’s not to like?

Another lovely lunch , traditional modern menu with classics (cheese and onion pie) in a homely setting - lovely .

Excellent food good service. Done a great job in refurbishment

Lovely food, great cocktails and very good friendly service.

Not great. We’re seated next to a freezing cold stairwell with a cold aircon fan blowing on our table. Service not good and food overpriced and average tasting. Not worth the hype.

When I go to a restaurant and write a review I think about what could be better or is already good. Things that don't need improving are the Mango laasi and home made naan bread which were excellent. Could improve the naan bread more by brushing it with ghee and cutting into 4. The ambience could be improved by their actually being any. Maybe this could be solved by them getting an alcohol licence. Listening to the people on the next table who had clearly been in the pub for several hours before coming for food was quite annoying but there was nothing else going on. in the distance I could see some screens from lockdown/covid restrictions and thick layers of dust on the tables. Our own table wobbled and all the furniture is wobbly and old and should be replaced. When our food was delivered it was brought on a trolley and deposited on the table with a here's this dish and here's the naan bread. No clue why. They should just carry it on trays and give the servers chance to earn a tip and look busy and bin the trolleys and bin the horrible old carpet. I assume the black dressed servers were students there were plenty of them but they managed to forget my drink. Perhaps give them a uniform to be proud of. We had a lamb curry (Naga) and a chicken curry from the special menu. Lamb was overcooked and very small pieces but flavour was good. Chicken was one of those old fashioned English curry house yellow coloured featuring 7 pieces of chicken that were probably pre seasoned then have the yellow almond heavy gravy added. Tasted of nothing but almonds. It was supposed to be £17.95 but we were charged for something different. It was only worth £6 on takeaway in my opinion. Fresh samosas to start were tasty but don't know why they had sweetcorn in. We didn't have a pudding but do not want an English pudding after curry. Overall impression was a very tired old fashioned restaurant without personality or gastronomy. Maybe whoever runs it should visit Mowgli in Preston to see what great Indian food can be. They should also sweep the front steps to give kerb appeal. Last note-when we arrived our candle had already burnt out. I took it out of the candle holder and put it on the table. 6 times we were visited and no one gave us a new candle or took the used one away. I don't know if they didn't care or couldn't be bothered. I suspect the latter. I feel the same way.
