Our happy place
Verdes Restaurant – ChorleyAbsolutely delicious and delightful meal. We met up with friends from afar and thought this might be a good place to eat - simply because I'd been past so many times and was curious. We two couples each had the 5 dish for two sharing. Plus wine, beer, and coffees. The dishes were excellent. Timings were excellent. Service was excellent. Definitely coming back.
A’Vucciria – RawtenstallLove the refurbishment. Enjoyed food as always. Good service.Delicious warm choc sauce on my ice cream!!
The Whitchaff Inn – RawtenstallFoods awesome, no where in the area like it. Would pay a visit, if you’re debating it. Staff were helpful and polite, the only small thing I’d point out is, it is slightly on the chilly side in the restaurant which in the beginning I have to be honest did make me a little nervous going forward. After climatising we were fine and the food made up for the lack of temperature!
Smokin Vs Real Barbecue – PrestonWent with my daughter yesterday. First time since the refurbishment, the whole place and the staff felt very welcoming. Glad we booked as it was very busy. We had starters and mains, the food was really well cooked and the price was reasonable for such quality. Definitely down for a revisit.
The Whitchaff Inn – RawtenstallBooked a table well in advance for 4 and requested to be seated away from the bar area. They sat us near the bar on a circular table With 2 tub chairs and a 2 seater sofa not Ideal with a circular table and obviously sat lower than on normal chairs,not ideal with 2 younger children. Food was good along with the service just a shame they didn't read the booking information.
The Whitchaff Inn – RawtenstallHad a great evening. The service from our waitress Hannah was great despite having the England World Cup game crowd to attend to as well. The food was of an exceptional standard. Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed their choices. We will certainly be back again very very soon.
Trawden Arms – ColneWe love Smokin V's. We have eaten here many times and the food is always great and the service friendly. Always reminds us of the type of place we used to eat when we lived in Texas for a couple of years. Best BBQ food in the area.
Smokin Vs Real Barbecue – PrestonBrilliant food and cocktails great service. Really relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Loved it.
Astoria – BurnleyWow! Delicious tapas. Lots to choose from. Meat, vegi, fish, vegan and gluten free options were available. We all enjoyed our dishes. Lovely friendly staff. We are looking forward to trying out the other dishes on the menu.
Bread and Butter – PrestonFantastic tapas last Friday night, three specials off the board were excellent. Service was top notch too. Thanks to the team, we'll be back!
Bread and Butter – PrestonVisited on 9th December party of 4. Excellent service and amazing food with a creative twist. Lovely ambience will definitely return.
Solea Restaurant & Wine Bar – BlackburnWent for my birthday to Solea and we had such wonderful flavoursome food from their Festive Menu. Also I would like to praise the staff for being friendly and attentive- we will certainly return in the near future.
Solea Restaurant & Wine Bar – BlackburnWe’ve eaten here for years, and maybe it’s me that’s changed but I didn’t enjoy my experience this time. The place looks tired and lacks atmosphere. Food was ok but not excellent and the service was vague and unprofessional.
Sultan Of Lancaster – LancasterFantastic food and service, already looking forward to the next visit! Cannot recommend enough 10/10.
Solea Restaurant & Wine Bar – BlackburnHad our birthday celebration 17 of us on Weds 7th, it was fantastic Staff were brilliant service excellent and the food was served all together and everybody commented how sumptuous it was This restaurant must be one of the best in St Helen’s and we certainly be returning and thank you for making our birthday special
Anatolia Grill – St HelensWe met up with some friends for dinner whilst visiting our son and daughter in law in Helmshore and on our daughter in laws recommendation booked the Whitchaff. So pleased we did, the food was excellent and the staff outstanding. We are visiting again in January and the Whitchaff will definitely be having another visit from us.
