Reviews in Lancashire

Very extensive menu, with good choice for everyone including vegan options. Specials board as well. Fair pricing as well, and good selection of wines competitively priced. We went early evening so it was initially quiet but started filling up. Both starters were very tasty, as were the mains, although I was surprised that my belly pork came without any potato side just a mix of cabbage and bacon. Service was polite, quick and not intrusive. However, we were both concerned about the close proximity of the tables, and although the restaurant was barely a quarter full, the staff seemed to insist on seating everyone into a narrow area of the room. It was obviously a worry for other customers as well, because one couple seated behind us, requested a move almost immediately. Another threesome, declined the option to squeeze themselves and the baby buggy into the corner next to us, it was decidedly uncomfortable during these days of Covid precautions, so they would be well advised to take out at least two tables to increase safer spacing. Other than that, we had an enjoyable meal, and will definitely visit again.

Not been here for thirty years and I was so impressed that the warm, welcoming atmosphere was just the same. Great choice of large/small pasta dishes coupled with the familiar, comforting renditions of ‘Happy Birthday’ made this a special night for my Dad’s 78 th birthday. He rated the gluten free pizza as the best in town! Well done to all the team for preserving a little gem! Helen

Excellent food, service and ambiance

Very good.

Went on a friend’s recommendation. Food utterly delicious. I had a tandoori chicken kebab. Risky, as I am half Indian and never eat Indian food out. IT WAS AMAZING! The presentation, the garlic drip from the top of the kebab, chicken cooked and tender. Tasty, beautiful and perfect portion size. Hubby had Cheese & Onion pie. It was like a traditional one, again very well presented and unbelievably tasty. Service attentive and cheerful. We’ll def be back!

Yet another fabulous meal at Site - there’s always a great ambience, lovely customer service and the food never disappoints ! Great pizzas , zingy salad and a yummy amaretto cherry trifle - what’s not to like ! So lucky to have this restaurant in Tod !!

Our first visit for a special occasion dinner, and we all enjoyed our evening very much. The food was simply delicious, service attentive and surroundings/ambience comfortable and cosy. Can’t wait to return!

This is such a lovely location with a fantastic vegan selection and absolutely lovely and attentive staff.

We attended on 30th December. As always the service was excellent and the food superb. Really nice relaxed time together for my Wife and I. I use this restaurant for pleasure and also business. Cant be faulted.

5 star!

We love this quirky little place The food, staff & atmosphere are always great. It's a YES from us !

Lovey meal in the lodge. It was just before they closed for a refurb so they had a limited menu but everything we had was beautifully and freshly cooked. Highly recommend.

First visit for us. We visited for breakfast. The food was delicious and the service was great. It’s a beautiful setting too! We will be back to try the main menu.

My visit to the Sultan in Lancaster was New Years Eve. Me and my partner usually stay in but decided to book a night away and an Indian meal for 8pm. When we arrived the lady on the front of house informed us there had been an error with the booking system and that she didn’t know who was arriving! We got seated at a table and ordered poppadoms and chutneys which came promptly. We then put in our full order for the special set menu for 2. One of the waiters came over after around 20 minutes and asked if we were ready for our starter, to which we said yes. Another long period of time passed and he came over again and asked if we were ready, so we said yes again. There was a big table in there so we understood they were busy. The starters came out after a while. The food was undeniably delicious. Once our starters were cleared, the same waiter asked if we were ready for our main courses, to which we said yes. There was a very long wait on food and it was obvious in the restaurant that they were struggling with service. We were understanding, although no one came over to inform us, which would have been appreciated. When the 2 tables next to us which arrived later than us were served and we had been waiting over 30 minutes after being asked if we were ready for our main courses we started feeling slightly infuriated. We then asked the waiter if our mains were on their way and he said “they should be”. Our main courses got brought out all separately, starting with curries, then the rice and potatoes, then the naan bread. Ideally, you want your main course to arrive altogether. Once again the food was outstanding, but the service really let our experience down! We asked for water to the table and no one came with any until we asked again. When we asked for the bill we waited a fair amount of time to see the lady on front of house occupied so when we got up to go and pay and she apologised for forgetting to come over. I’d rate the food 10/10 but the service and waiting times were not ideal. We arrived at 19:45 and left at 22:10 which seemed like a long period of time with no heads up on waiting times. I understand NYE is a busy night and can totally appreciate it but communication with customers would have been highly appreciated. Although the food was outstanding I am unsure if I would return as the service let our experience down. If you are happy to wait, the food is well worth it!

We had a fabulous evening celebrating New Years at The Lodge. The food was delicious and the service was great.

It's always a pleasure to eat in this restaurant. The chef really does know how to get the best flavours from the food that he cooks. We dined on New Year's Eve and had the most wonderful meal served by the very friendly and welcoming staff. We'll be back soon.

My husband and l have eaten at Tom’s Table several times over the months, so decided to eat there on New Years Eve. The food was exquisite, the service was fantastic and the atmosphere was lovely. All of the staff, and there was a lot, all had big smiles on their faces, were very pleasant and appeared to enjoy what they were doing. Tom deviated from the set menu to meet my dietary requirements , without hesitation or fuss. Not many restaurants would do this for one customer when they have a full house. Tom and Kate run a warm and very welcoming eatery, and deserve all the plaudits they get. We can’t wait to come back, when you reopen after your over due break.

Sam always goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and a valued customer. Food is always exceptional. Nureno kind and welcoming delivers excellent service every time.
