Reviews in Lancashire

Visited Mother Hubbard's Blackburn on Sunday 25th October at around 7.30pm. The restaurant was very busy with queues to the door . My wife and I had 2 x fish and chips at £4.75 each to take away. I think the price is reasonable but unfortunately the quality is poor. The chips were soft and droopy ( chips should be crispy on the outside and soft in the middle) The fish wasn't much better . They were served on top of the chips in cardboard boxes and when I got home ( 5 min trip ) I tried to lift them out and put them on plates, but the soggy batter peeled off and remained stuck to the chips. I won't visit again which is unfortunate as I like to support local businesses

We visited Angels last night to celebrate my birthday and had a fantastic meal. Compliments to Simon for producing a excellent menu, service was extremely good and all in all a wonderful experience ! THANK YOU!

We first came to the pub when it first opened 2 weeks ago and we were more than satisfied. The food was great. We called in last Sunday, when we asked for the menu we were told that is the menu, which was a piece of paper with only maybe three mains on starters and desserts, and told that is the only menu for today, so we left. I would like to say you should have covered up the menu outside. We will not visit again.

The chips was ok but the fish was awful -- the batter is too thin and not crispy at all -- the batter was more soggy than the ketchup -- it's new in Blackburn so I guess everyone is trying it out BUT am sure there will not be many return customers -- no where as nice as the local AJK chippy. I won't be going to Blackburn Mother Hubbards again -- Should had listen to the local people that have the same review but I had to try it out before I knocked it.. Not worth visiting.

First and last visit 19/10/15 about 2.00pm..nice clean and welcoming... The food however is diabolical... Ordered fish and chips to take out.... £4.75. A touch over priced but then I added to the order a cheese pie... £1.75.....I queried the price but was met with a blank stare from the new from job centre employee.... The surprise awaited me when I arrived home.... The fish and chip's had probably been cooked the night prior and were full of frying fat..... Not at all crispy as expected.... The expensive cheese pie was rock hard and had probably been cooked some day's prior to the aged fish and chip's... I did not manage half of the entire offering before it was all consigned to the bin!....I never, never feel sick but I felt sick last night and this morning..... I have travelled the world and never ever purchased such a foul meal in my life before..... This is also the first time that I have ever left a revue anywhere.... I have been totally ripped of and made ill into the bargain....

What a beautiful place! The pub, the village, the rooms and food! Highly recommended and we will return.

Bad telephone service ever!!! 0 stars

A really beautiful building, newly renovated. Pub food at restaurant prices. Disappointing! Huge portions. Quite unnecessary. Friendly staff and locals.

This lovely little countryside pub is a great destination for those who are out in the countryside around Lancaster. The best dishes are the South African dishes which are consistently perfect :)

The Dressers Arms is looking very nice after its refurbishment following a fire. Still retained some character whilst modernised. Fylde Rugby club Vandals team pop in here on the way back from certain away games. The landlord kindly lays on free chip butties for us. Fine beer and the food looked good in the restaurant.

The décor here was a bit of a surprise for a rural pub. Food was very good indeed.

Food varied and delicious, portion sizes plentiful loads of courses yum yum yum. Place, clean décor, relaxing, staff friendly. Have recommended to friends.

We often go to the Border Rose both for food and just for a drink. It is probably the best pub for miles around. Anyone saying any different must be mad. The landlord , landlady and the staff are all very welcoming and can't do enough for you. Wonderful place. Try it and you will see.

Have been going to the Spread Eagle since 1977 with family and friends and have never been disappointed.

What a refreshing change, a landlord that looks happy, the pub is lovely with a good range of drinks, would recommend.

Disappointing. Been to Harvesters numerous times and always enjoyed our experience. However, we went again today and we're extremely disappointed by our service (or lack of). Staff seemed uninterested, rude and very off throughout. We waited over half an hour for a waiter to return to take our order after waiting 25 minutes previously to receive our drinks. Every time we had to approach the bar and remind them we were still waiting for service. At the end of the meal the waitress cleared half our plates, slamming then down on the table as she did so as though it was an inonvenience, then failed to return for the rest until we asked for someone to. Food was good as always but tonight the poor service definitely ruined our experience. Very disappointing.

Went here for my 50th birthday and had a lovely table in the conservatory. Wednesday night and it was really buzzing which when you consider the slightly out of the way location is a real testament to the reputation the Italian Orchard has built up over the years. Fully justified in my view too as the menus offer loads of interesting choices and if wine’s your thing they have a great selection of Italian wines to choose from. There was a pianist playing too which just adds to the ambience. Highly recommended.

Just ordered a takeaway the pros were; delivary was quick & driver was polite. Cons; crispy beef wasn't crispy sesame chicken was a massive disapointment. The toffee apple turned out as banna when I rang back twice the guy who took the order pretended to not hear me then answered, insisting I ordered banana not apple. I know what I ordered & charged us £21.20 needless to say first & last time I order from here the menu is now in the recycling bin.
