Freemasons uses to serve delicious sandwiches, however they have taken them off the menu in order to make more profit from their meals. Only meals are served, no light meals at any time-very disappointing. Won't be returning as their meals are too expensive. They've caught the Ribble Valley bug of overpricing!

Dreadful. The staff where rude, the service was rushed, the food and drinks where served in a spasmodic way. The bill was incorrect, and when challenged the error was dismissed. Very expensive for average food, we felt like we where unwelcome and the clientele was not what we expected

Very poor quality, bland, uninteresting food, staff impolite, quite expensive for the poor quality. Atmosphere OK but I would not recommend- much better Indians available in the area. And finally coleslaw is not a very good accompaniment to popadoms.

Foods quite good. Made an order for dessert and coffee after main meal. Received coffee before puddings? I politely mentioned to staff that we made an order for sweets and was told we should have asked for coffee to be served after this pudding order(not in the most pleasant of terms). This attitude upset my mother who i was taking for lunch as we don't see each other often. When she also made a complaint about this attitude to the deputy manager he did his best to talk over my mother and refused to let her speak to the main manager. As this complaint was being made i was greeted by smug smiles by the waitress who i spoke to first regarding this matter. We cancelled the order and left the premises. We had recommended this restaurant to many friends in the past but wont be doing that again and we will not spend our money in a place were the staff made a point of giving us bad service on any occasion in the future.

I can not recommend Tinos high enough, from arriving the staff were all very nice and welcoming, the food was fantastic, we had a very enjoyable evening in a lovely setting. We will most definitely be returning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

love this place and staff very friendly go there whenever i can

This is by far the worst chip shop I have ever visited, the staff pleasant enough, the food disgraceful We ordered fish & chips twice, upon arriving home, the smell of the fish was rancid... when cutting into the fish - it was black - / brown fish - the smell was awful. The fish was cooked upon ordering, so he may of fried it fresh, however it was rotten old fish, 20,000 league below I imagine!!! I returned the West End Chippy -with the two portions of rancid fish, upon reviewing the menu I noticed that the menu no longer lists haddock or cod - just fish £3.40!!! I told him the fish smelt awful, is black inside and is most definitely rotten, he went on to tell me its silver hake the best fillet you could buy, I was surprised at the level of his lie!! WEST END CHIPPY - YEARS AGO WAS GREAT - TODAY TERRIBLE -

Went to the windmill in the past and it was ok, but not been since it as changed hands, so my wife daughter and i went last night 5th/01/2011 and the choice on the menu was great, the food was great the service was great, so if you want top food at a good price check it out

Visited the Italian Cottage on a Thursday evening with three friends, looking forward to a good old goss and great food. We certainly were not disappointed by the food and the value was even better choosing from the three course "cheaper" option. However the night was ruined by anxious staff desperate to get home at 9.45, making it obvious that our time was up!! and there was me thinking Thursday was the new Friday. We ordered further drinks following our meal which was an obvious annoyance to the staff they stood around watching for any indication for us leaving. In this current climate where relying on punters that are going to spend some dosh one would think this cosy little restaurant in a back street of cosmopolitan Chorley would be eager to offer further drinks with eagerness and flair. On leaving the restaurant the a member of staff quoted on her phone " they're leaving now so come in two minutes" Well we were leaving, not to return!!!

Excellent! Eaten here several times - always very high standard. Welcoming, friendly,great atmosphere and nothing too much trouble! Also do gift vouchers!

Never failed to come away having had great food, well served ale and met a familiar face. Conservatory is a nice venue with open aspects. Well worth the run out.

We chose a quiet night as it can get busy at weekends. Cannot complain about the food, price or service. Enjoy the beer as it is well served in this establishment. A place you could comfortably stay for the whole evening.

Just been for a meal not having been for years and since the refurbishment. The food was excellent and good portions! I had the chicken livers which were to die for plus the Rogan Josh curry and chips. fab!

Awful Service!!! Having visited the Dalton rooms a number of times since its opening, I have always been happy with the food, but slightly dissatisfied with the service, I however left this down to starting up, teething problems, with any business it takes time to develop a good team of staff, as a bar in the evenings it always has a great atmosphere with a huge range of good beers and wines. After my most recent visit however I am in no hurry to go back. We entered the restaurant, without being greeted by any of the numerous staff stood around in conversation. We sat at a table and ordered our food and some drinks. The wait for our starters was fine, and were very enjoyable, we were not however wished an enjoyable meal. The plates were cleared away in a timely manner after we had finished, although we were not asked if everything was ok with our starters. Following this our main courses were brought out, the mash potato has gone hard on the outside, like it had been cooked in a microwave or left under a hot plate for a long time. Once again we were not wished an enjoyable meal, at no point throughout the meal were we offered any more drinks, which were both empty by the time the main courses arrived, or asked if everything was ok. When we had finished, our plates were not cleared away for 20 minutes and we would have quite liked to order a desert but this was also never offered. I can understand a lack of attention to customers during busy periods, but we were the only table eating at the time, and all the staff were stood around chatting, One staff member stood very close to our table, told one of the bar staff very loudly he was starting his shift at 6pm, was still stood around chatting at 6.20 with his coat and hat on. When I got up to pay our bill, we were not asked at any point if everything had been ok with our meals and were just handed the bill. Overall very sloppy service.

Simply a wonderful Italian restaurant to have so close to us. One of if not the best we have been to for a long time. We live local and indeed own the the Kingfisher Cafe Bar @ Reedley Marina so we like to think we know a good one when we find it.

For that "something special" occasion is how I would describe this flamboyant exquisite place. It offers beautifully styled & spacious dining areas with highly trained waiting on staff & high caliber chefs who produce food for the gods. A "must try" place. You will not regret it.

Another lovely Saturday lunch at The Beaumont. Always a friendly welcome and extensive choice of food.

A vibrant atmosphere coupled with excellent menu choice. Well presented dishes cooked in authentic & traditional methods. Well worth a visit.
