Reviews in Lancashire

Tiggis preston has been about for years and unfortunately the food is in a timewarp. The English palette has moved on from the anglicised food Italian restaurants served 20 years ago. The venue is pleasant enough and service was OK. A bugbear of mine is dirty sticky menus which should be very easy to resolve!

Attended a surprise party for my in-laws' Golden Wedding celebrations and it was a fabulous day out. If I'm honest, I didn't quite know what to expect but the boat was beautifully laid out with linen-clothed tables, a bar and waiting staff and the whole event went down very well. It's a very pleasant way to spend three hours, cruising down the canal enjoying a three-course meal (soup, roast beef and Yorkshires, apple pie) and watching the world go by. The marina also has a pub where you can retire to for a drink afterwards (or even stay the night). If you're looking for a meal with a difference then I would certainly consider the Romance.

just had a mixed kebab and the wife had a parmesan hotshot. they were both absolutley brilliant. highly recommended. well done to the chef and great value for money.

I will not be returning. Overpriced average food in a very noisy and stuffy atmosphere. Bar area too close to the dining tables making it impossible to have a conversation without resorting to shouting. On the plus side, the staff are effecient.

We dropped in here today for our lunch and waited a good 20 mins for our food so we were thinking "it'll be worth the wait", as there were plenty of diners we were expecting great things - it arrived at our table and resembled a frozen food meal you could pick up from the local supermarket and the roast potatoes were a famous brand needless to say wont be going back there :(

Went to this restaraunt last night ( Friday 31st August). the food was awesome, lovely soup and spag bol. My only complaint was that me and my wife were given a terrible table right next to a very loud group party. There were much nicer seats available but they plonked us down on a table that wasn't very romantic or private! Next time I go I will book a nice table! Food lovely though and the staff were polite (if not over friendly!)Ally

Excellent service, with excellent food and a great menu. Best restaurant in Chorley.

Excellent food at a good value. The dishes we would like to recommend are their King Prawns in Hot Hainan Island sauce, yellow ginger rice, beef in ginger.

This small understated veggie cafe is a breath of fresh air in blackburn, the comfy ambiance and very friendly staff made the whole experience thoroughly enjoyable. The food was delicious and the flavours were a symphony for the taste buds. My friend who is not a veggie thought that it was fresh and did not miss the meat at all! I would highly recommend this to anyone.P.s the cake was to die for!

I frequently eat in the evenings at the Field Fare in Chorley with friends and we are never disappointed.

We thought we'd try Papa's before we committed a large family gathering to a bit of a celebration (15 year and 40 year anniversary party) - all seemed ok although I though the prices were a little steep. Upon getting my main I explained that I'd never ever received a pizza that didnt have a tomato sauce base. To my surprise there response was "look at the menu - thats what you ordered". Now dont get me wrong, upon reading it I realised it didnt say "Tomato" but really, I've never (ever) seen a pizza without a sauce base. Nevertheless, I can accept the situation and would have gladly paid for another pizza to be made up (it was literally inedible unless you're a cow who needs a salt lick daily!)... They didnt even make a suggestion - they simply said "Well, thats what it says on the menu."After the meal, as I was paying up I explained that I accept it was my fault for not reading the menu correctly (although I repeat, I've never had a pizza without a sauce base), I was again confronted by "Did you show 'him' the menu" and "Well sir, thats what it says on the menu".Not once did anyone ask "What can we do to help", or "How can we help". I even had to wait 5 minutes with my hand constantly waiving, before anyone actually noticed me wanting assistance during the meal..Surely the point of any meal is to have great food served perfectly and with the right attitude. We'd considered papa's as I though their service would be second to none, but in reality it's a factory with uncaring maitre de and staff and all in all, whilst i'm sure the food (if its what you expect) is fine, in my case I was severely let down by a serious case of bad customer care.As i've mentioned, I accept that it was my fault and never once suggested that it was a fault of theirs (though in my own mind Im still adamant that pizza's always have a sauce base), but the lack of consideration and considerable indifference to my plight means I have to say "buyer beware". Normally a phrase reserved for used car salesmen but in this case, buyer.... "Be Bloody Well Aware". If you buy poorly expect terrible after sales care.Sorry, not what I expect of a relatively expensive restaurant.......

I have been a regular customer for a depressingly long time ( over 40 years ) and I am in tune with local feeling re the Fleece . It has been the social and community centre of Penwortham for over 400 years and any attempt to turn it into a " FOOD LED PUB " would destroy the essential character of the pub and ruin the hub of our community . I realise that the pub is shortly to be refurbished . In my opinion it is essential that it continues as a PUB FIRST and restaurant second . We already have more than enough restaurants in Penwortham but only one pub worthy of the name .

Monday night pizza/pasta offer. Have to say- we were pleasantly surprised just how good it was .The place was 'ram jam full' .Goes to show that prices are important for a early evening 'spur of the moment meal'.A £fiver--is just about right - bearing in mind the place can make extra on the drinks. Seems to be the way to go these days .Hope they can repeat the offer on other nights too. We surely would be there -as I am sure many others would be there too..Thank you Pete

we call in at the Buck regularly on our way to the lake district and it is well worth the visit. THE friendliest pub/restaurant i have ever been to, the food is excellent, quality and quantity! you will never leave this pub disappointed but i would advise you to book, it is VERY popular!

been eating at Tiggis' restaurants for over 30 years - this is no exception - no expense spared on fittings and decor, total professionalism in everything - well done Lino!

We have eaten at kashti about ten times . As a couple and also as part of large birthday celebrations . Never once have I or any of the people I have been with had a bad meal . The staff are friendly and always there for you . And the food is excellent . I have and would still recommend kashti to anyone who as not been . And the numerous people I have told have now visited more than once

I am from South Afrcia and so it is safe to say that I am a rather lager (/fat) young man who has a healthy appetite for any meats! Go Burrito is terrific, the quantity is good, though could be more for a developing man such as myself and the food is quality son! For all you big boned girls out there, get yourself to go burrito where i'll buy you a burrito for starters and titanic for main course. Us fatties have to eat don't we! ;) XXX
