Reviews in Lancashire

We eat here almost every week. Without doubt the best fish and chips restaurant for miles! The service is excellent and quality of food is always spot on. As we have visited more than 100 times in the past 3years without a complaint of any kind says something about the consistent quality of this lovely establishment. David, one of the managers, deserves a special mention as his attention to customers is brilliant. We are now having to follow a gluten free diet but no problem for Bannys as they do GLUTEN FREE FISH BATTER AND DESSERT! Cannot recommend this place highly enough!

I would not recommend the restaurant but unfortunately cannot find any other email to complain about the poor food. On Thursday 29th July on recommendation myself and several others booked a meal. I ordered Biriyani and the chiken was full of bits of gristle and skin which totally put me off my meal and the sauce that went with it was luke warm. Several of us also had samosa's for starters and these were swimming in fat and not crispy at all. Others dishes were not up to a good standard and a lot of the food was left. I said nothing at the time as this was a special occasion and i didn't want to spoil it. I live around the corner from the restaurant and was hoping to be able to enjoy a takeaway weekly but after the food on Thursday i really don't think that will be the case unfortunately. I actually love Indian food and was extremely disappointed and would appreciate your comments. Mrs Cattle

Visited a few times. Choice for vegetarians. Excellent service, friendly staff and good food, local produce; not 'warmed up in a microwave oven'. Serves delicious puddings a and afternoon teas. Suggest you book first. Paul (Charnock Richard)

Always a good meal here and a nice setting too. Well worth the trip over from Blackpool. My son always takes his date here and it does offer something for everyone. You won’t break the bank by sticking with the pizza and pasta but if you want to splash out they have a great choice of main courses and also some top-end and large format Italian wines for the connoisseur.

The Smiths Arms is a superb place to visit where you're made welcome by all of the staff that work there. They offer quality food and a good selection of drinks at a reasonable price. Go, you won't be disappointed.

4 of us had a meal on the 23/july 2011, and found it excellent and very good value. Service was ever so friendly. Would recommend and always return.

My family and I have been a customer of Sagar for years and would not go anywhere else! It is a fantastic place, with a friendly environment and fantastic staff and food! Highly recommended!

Visited this pub for a food last night. The pub is charming and very clean despite all the knick knacks. The food is very good, well cooked, well presented and tasty. However, the portion of chips for two was what I would call a decent portion for one! Also had a dessert which was also nice but not sure it was worth the £3.95 they charged for it. My one major complaint is that the landlady is a bit of a jeckyll & hyde character. Very pleasant and chatty until we asked where our dessert was after 35 minutes of patiently waiting (only waited 15 mins for main course). Got our heads bitten off for our trouble with the landlady complaining that they were dealing with starters and mains and there are only 3 of us. Think the problem was that there was a bit of a surge in customers but still no excuse for rudeness! Would I go again? Yes for the food if the service was less changeable - don't think I will be in a rush to go back any time soon.

I've been to Camerons a couple of times recently for lunch and I've been impressed on both visits. The food is tasty, the service is friendly and efficient, the atmosphere is serene, and the restaurant looks clean and fresh.

We visit Anaz every Saturday night Mr Ali and all his staff are fantastic I have the same every wk chicken chat to start and lamb curry and it is perfect every time a visit is a must

very expensive service ok i suppose ive seen better

My wife & I stayed here on 4 & 5/07/2011. The Taster Menu was sampled on the first evening & we could only manage 7 of the 8 courses. We opted out of the Sticky Toffee pudding as we had no room for it! All courses were of a very high standard & the staff were friendly but not familiar. The breakfasts were most enjoyable and the evening meal on the 2nd night was also delicious. We stayed in the four poster bedroom and spent a most comfortable time. Living in Central Scotland will not prevent us returning once I've managed to shed some weight. A lovely experience.

Visited Pond on Monday 11 July for a graduation celebration meal having read all the good reviews. How disappointing it turned out to be Peruvian stew with chicken still looking for chicken !! had to ask for bread that is supposed to come with stew see previous comments by others along same line .Gambas pil pil nice but very few prawns bit of a let down really but they did reduce bill upon request wont hurry back

Stayed here again on Sunday for the gourmet night. Amazing Food, Amazing Service, Amazing Place. Nigel & Craig have this place spot on.

As a regular at the fat olive I am never disappointed in the food or the service. The regular offers are incredibly good value and tempt me in frequently. All the staff are efficient and friendly and know their menu, requests for alternative combinations greeted with a no problem approach. my future custom is guaranteed!

We have just had an evening at La Rocca in Chorley. As a party of 10 and a toddler. We had booked for an eighteenth birthday celebration. At 7:30 prompt we were seated and our drinks order taken. We were very happy with the service and with the exceptional food. I had the FEGATINI ALLA BOSCAIOLA,(omnomnom) followed by a risotto not shown on the menu (Yumnomnom)Spicy sausage, tomato & Salami. You get a healthy portion of everything, , so don't let the price list put you off .It looks pricey..but its not. The quality is ^up^ there, plus its friendly & Good portions. Well done La Rocca , we will definitely be returning and recommend this establishment to all our associates."

What fantastic food and even better service. A hidden gem.

On the 8th July 2011 myself and 3 other adults and two children went to the Sparth Manor - The building itself is lovely, and has a warm and welcoming atmosphere and has kept many of its original features. The hosts where very friendly and helpful. - Great evening. Great food, Great Hospitality. A hidden gem - worth a visit
