Reviews in Lancashire

If you want good food this is not the place. Over priced takes ages to arrive 45mins for starter 50 mins for main course .Starter was fine prawn cocktail main course pasta was terrible ,there is plenty of better restaurants in the area give this one a miss.

Had lunch at this restaurant saturday just gone. It was faultless! Fantastic atmosphere topped off by the live pianist. Food was excellent as always. I just wish we didn't have to drive to this restaurant, I could have stayed all afternoon with a good bottle of red! Highly recommended.

Went on Saturday 19/10/13 with our friends. Ordered the set meal for £21.95.Booked for 6.30pm.Glad we booked it for then as it was very busy by 8 pm. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely fab,could not fault it one bit.They always asked when you wanted to be served the next course of the set meal,there was no rush they kept saying. The only thing i would say was the guitar player, not got the x factor,he looked like Andy Capp from the newspaper cartoon.

My wife and I had lunch on Saturday 12th October. Lovely fresh food and very friendly staff.

Just getting ready to go once again for lunch at the border rose.We have been going once a week for years and have never had a bad meal,The service is superb and you never have to wait for the meal of your choice.

Great home made food and friendly staff will definitely be visiting again soon.

This Indian Restaurant has to be one of the best around, we eat there on average twice sometimes three times a month. The food is always excellent, even when it's packed to the rafters. Top marks to the chef who is often overlooked. The prices are good. The waiting on staff are always friendly and attentive. Keep up the good work,

I've been here with friends a few times, love this place x

I've had a dozen takeaways from Bay Leaves over the years and its always been excellent.

Excellent restaurant, good food, lovely staff. Special offers Monday to Thursday evening. Nice roast dinner on a Sunday.

WoW a place to visit , We fell on this place on google and I was so happy we decided to go The full package from start to finish what can I say ? Only You must go and see for your self strongly recommend 10/10 for everything.

My husband and I have always had a beautiful meal at the Willows restaurant at Barton Grange. We have eaten there many times and it as always been lovely, also it is nice to get food that is cooked well using local produce.

The Sherwood in Preston Is the worst pub we have ever been in.The rudeness started within a few mins of walking in the door, we committed the (apparently) cardinal sin of sitting in the "adult only" area they claim they have to keep by law???The manager very rudly asked us to move and when we asked if there were other tables with a bench was very sarcastic. We should have left but not knowing the area and hunger got the better of us. We found other seating and ordered, again the manager was rude and obnoxious and was clearly put out when I asked if the mash had dairy due to my kids dairy allergy. (To the point of ignoring the next few items of the order because he was huffing and rolling his eyes, so I had to repeat it)The other staff were slightly better, but not much. One ignored me while I was attempting to order desert and carried on her conversation.The food was ok but we will never go back there and have told friends who were considering it not to bother, I was looking on review sites to find a good indian locally and wish I had checked before visiting the Sherwood because 70 of them are from people who had similar experiences to ours. I have added mine to the chorus!

Went to Bukhara for a friends birthday meal and I was left traumatised. I found a huge dead wasp in a dish. I was in shock and hurry and more than anything disgusted. Went I talked the manger he simply replied saying "listen yeah it fell in the dish from my journey to the kitchen to your table" um no it was at the bottom of the dish don't try to justify it with that excuse. Did not even have the decency to say sorry. Absoloutely disgusted. Never again.

This place has always been superb, we always have our "special" birthdays there and having just booked a table for 11 for next Saturday....can't wait! If you moan about this place, you must have been born moaning!!!

I am writing this review not as someone who was given an awful service but as someone who was really disappointed not to be given a fantastic service based on it's reputation and prices. Over the last 12 years of our relationship my wife and I have dined several times at The Yew Tree for special and romantic evenings. A few times we have dined for our wedding anniversary and the previous times received a fantastic, attentive and special service which kept us coming back. At the beginning of August we booked our table well in advance and we were pre-advised by a friendly person taking our reservation that there was also a beer festival going on over the weekend. The week before I called to confirm our Saturday reservation understanding that the timeslot would have been at peak-time. Whilst on the phone I also advised it was our wedding anniversary and enquired if the beer festival activities (ie Live Band etc) were not going to mingle with the usual romantic restaurant area. The lady I spoke to sounded very stern and came across a bit abruptly but nonetheless reassured us that the event would be kept separate from the restaurant. When it came to the evening we decided to visit the beer festival event prior to our meal and it was fantastic! Nice ales and music in the sunshine - it was almost a pity to go inside for our meal but were still really looking forward to it based upon our previous visits. Unfortunately, this is where our evening went downhill starting with the fact that it was obvious that they had lost our reservation even though I telephoned the week before to confirm it. Normally on previous visits we were sat in the restaurant area and considering that I gave them 4 weeks notice of our reservation I was surprised to find that we were being sat at the front of the pub area next to the entrance of the front door where everyone else on the other tables were just enjoying drinks - not ideal and obvious that they had lost our reservation, quickly preparing our table with cuterly and placemats. With it being a happy occation we tried to remain positive and we ordered our meal which were two steaks, a ribeye steak to be cooked blue (which I asked if it was possible) for £17.95, a sirloin steak for my wife to be cooked rare for £18.95 and a bottle of wine for around £20. The rib eye arrived medium-rare which didn't 'massively' upset me and I don't tend to complain at restaurants. My wife's sirloin, however, arrived medium to well with hardly any pink colour in it. We normally are not the kind of couple who complain or send food back - once a long time ago I remember eating a steak almost cold just to keep the atmosphere happy. However, again being it our anniversary and the fact that the steak was almost £20 we wanted to raise the problem quickly but without attention. As there were no staff around us being in the pub area my wife had to leave her table and tell someone at the bar that her steak wasn't right - not great really. They took my wife's steak away and so I shared my steak with my wife whilst she waited for hers and at this point we decided as soon as her steak arrived we would finish up, pay and leave to get back outside to the fantastic beer festival. Nicely enough however, the lady who I immediately recognised as the (stern) one I spoke to over the phone was very helpful and straight away dealt with the problem and offered each of us a free glass of wine for our trouble. My wife accepted this and as I already had a large glass already I declined but the nice lady insisted on getting me something free of charge which I thought was really nice. I think the lady either ran the restaurant or was someone very senior in the building as she was very attentive as this point - plus the rest of the staff were wearing pink polo shirt uniforms. Overall, the staff ran rings around us when there was an issue but simply all we wanted was to arrive to be seated in the restaurant, to feel special in the usual romantic atmosphere and to have fantastic food. If this was the first time we dined at the Yew Tree, was told that it was more of a pub/restaurant and the prices were set at those typical of a pub/restaurant then we would have been quite satisfied but still probably avoided it for a wedding anniversary meal. However, paying almost £60 for two steaks and a bottle of wine, when both steaks were overcooked and for them to mess up our reservation it simply was not the evening we expected and we won't be returning anytime soon. We are both gutted because we used to love it at the Yew Tree. Others will come here and I am sure will have a fantastic experience but we won't be risking it again.

A lovely Sunday lunch we had yesterday and what attracted us to stop at this pub was the way the flowers were presented on the outside.The flowers looked lovely and the meal was definitely good value for money and quality.It has been included as one of our stopping-off places when passing by in future.

Three weeks ago I visited The Calfs Head for lunch with some friends.. We are still talking about the excellent food we enjoyed, together with the wonderful welcome, and Lancashire hospitality, it was a memorable day, and we can't wait to return as soon as possible. I was so impressed that I booked an overnight stay with Dinner and Breakfast for my son and daughter-in-law for their wedding anniversary this bank holiday weekend, whilst we look after their young family. Hopefully, we too will be returning for an overnight stop!!!
