Reviews in Lancashire

Pleasant surroundings, friendly service, excellent wines, but distinctly average food.

By far and away the best restaurant in the North West of England. The food is excellent and well worth the undoubted expense. Although the service is of a high quality it lacks a genuine warmth and can feel a little stuffy. The overall experience cannot be beaten. A special place for special occasions.

Stunning from start to finish, We were met by the owner (impressive) wizzing around the tables making everyone feel welcome, sat afternoon and most of the tables taken (nice to see). We ordered a selection of veg and vegan dishes and were very impressed by all of them the price was a bargin for the quality and you would be hard pushed to find better service or food anywhere, i would highly recommend and will be going back soon with fussy friends, its nice to be able to trust a place to recommend. Compliments to the chef and the lady in black.

Great place, good food, unfortunately moved out to their other restaurant in Horwich, a very pleasant member of staff called Andy. He was so helpful and thoughtful, he helped to make the place. I do hope he comes back.

Place is great but unfortunately, we had to wash all our clothes after visiting. The problem is that the kitchen is open plan and all cooking smells permeate the restaurant.

We really enjoyed our meal at this brand new restaurant! The host Stefano looked after us very well. Good to see the place was so busy. Wish them well with this restaurant!

STAFF VERY POLITE AND WELL MANNERED, FOOD COOK EXCELLENT. NO COMPLAINTS WITH DRINKS AS WELL.

First visit on 12/9/2012 for lunch whilst in Colne. Steak pie was excellent, my wife's burger, good, Thwaites Wainwright an excellent pint. At lunchtime the place was crowded, a bit noisy, very good value for the prices charged.

The food was excellent and the restaurant itself was very nicely decorated. The setting of Waters Edge is stunning, just by the side of a lake, we had pre-dinner drinks outside and the views were wonderful, and so quiet.I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, great staff, incredible food in breathtaking surroundings.

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!
