Reviews in Lancashire

We have been visiting Verdes since our children where small, they are now visiting with their children. We call it our happy place, all good food, service and value for money, we absolutely love it

Always a pleasure, staff friendly and food is amazing , got to go there nearly every weekend , it's an addiction for my taste now !

I booked for 2.15PM as I thought I would have beat the lunchtime rush, but I still ran into a few problems. First off, the food is really excellent. Served hot, high quality, beautifully presented and good sized portions. I could not fault the food at all. Excellent. The atmosphere is very good too. Situated on a quiet road, the outside tables overlook some wonderful views. There was a wafting sewage smell every now and then, but it passed quickly. It didn't smell like the normal 'farmland' smell, it was hard to pinpoint. The service was poor. 30 minutes to order two drinks (an extra 10 minutes to get the second drink on the order), wrong drinks brought to table, 40 minutes to get a food menu. We were there for around 3 hours to get two plates of food, a main each. We did order tubs of ice cream on the way out though. From other tables, I overheard comments such as "we haven't had our starters yet" (as mains arrived) or "I keep asking for cutlery". It was disappointing to see a table arrive around 30 minutes after us, receive drinks, menus and their mains by the time we were allowed to order, but from the interactions, it appears they were either regulars or locals. It was surprising because by the 3.00PM mark, of the outside 15 - 20 tables, I would estimate 7 - 10 were occupied, so I can't even say they were rushed off their feet, but it was much busier when I first arrived. However, I should say that every member of staff I spoke to was very pleasant, friendly, engaged and positive. The lead waiter did repeatedly apologise for our delays and seemed to be doing the best he could. No one was rude or made us feel unwelcome. I thought the food represented good value for money. However the menu needs to be updated slightly as a milkshake is listed at £4.00 but on the bill it was £4.50. It's only 50p and I didn't feel the need to raise it as I wasn't sure how long I'd have to wait for a revised bill.

Brilliant- great day, great prices and great service. Thanks

Absolutely love Astoria. Food is cooked and presented perfectly. It’s a rare gem of a restaurant.

Our favourite local!!

Lovely meal again @ the lodge. Great service too.

Amazing.. as ever. Can't help but love this place..will be back again very soon! Covid limitations haven't really affected our experience at all. Thanks again ladies and lads!

Thank you for this restaurant! Finally I found Amazing place with delicious food. The view is wonderful ! Staff is very friendly. the food was delicious. it looked insane on the plate. Everything is perfect. We will definitely come back here many more times! Highly recommend!!

Always visit when we come up to our caravan at Crook O'Lune. Food always good, it is a nice atmosphere. Staff are very obliging, and, most of all, there are a lot of Gluten Free options, more than you might expect. So, here's to the next time....

Loved being back at my favourite Italian restaurant . Food was amazing as usual, service is always fabulous, special shout-out to Sam who really make everyone feel welcome. Great hostess

Wonderful as always, best steaks ever. Thank you Lauren and Matthew

My partner is a vegetarian and there wasn’t much choice or variety of options. Staff were friendly enough especially the younger ones. Nice atmosphere too. Overall the vegetarian food was disappointing though and needs to be a bit more inspiring for us to go again.

Excellent food as always, lovely staff. So glad your up & running again!

I had a wonderful evening with a friend of mine, For her it was the first time... We ate arancini, croquettes, stuffed calamari but the thing that was impressive for her was the dessert, She told me that the tropical Cuban delight was orgasmic !!! Thanks to the Chef I had a nice after evening ☺️

Very nice meal last night. Our mix of adults and children were all made to feel welcome and there was plenty of choice for us and the kids. I had to try the intriguingly named Hanging Kebab - when it came it looked spectacular and was delicious! (Tandoori chicken). Our servers were all polite and attentive - thank you to them and the chef for a memorable family occasion. David
