Reviews in Lancashire

Since the restaurant opened we have now eaten here on three occasions. The food is excellent Italian cuisine from an extensive menu with a good choice for everyone, supplemented by a very good wine list. There is a very good atmosphere and the staff are very hospitable and attentive. All in all this is an excellent restaurant and a welcome addition to the area.

Our first visit to The Villa. Our party of 8 were greeted with a warm welcome on arrival and shown to the cellar bar for pre-dinner drinks. Nice lively atmosphere. Service and food was good but with one criticism there seemed to be quite a few cream based dishes on the menu no big deal but can restrict your choice. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

I went to franco's last week with my girlfriend it was a lovely time and will recommend here to all my clients and friends. Thanks for a great time. The staff were very friendly and the food was really good.

Just returned from a quick bite at new seasons.This place is amazing,My wife had chicken dianne and i chose the Moroccan chicken tagine both were lovely and cooked to perfection.My tangine came with fragrant rice and couscous and the dianne with perfectly cooked crisp seasonal veg and herb crusted roast potatoes.We had two lagers to start and a nice bottle of Riojca with our mains.We ended our meal with an espresso for me and a brandy coffee for my wife.The bill ? Get this £39.00 (with the two for one offer) Amazing value and great service.Give it a go

we visit the Akash once a month in short excellence on the full service

beware if you are gluten intolerant! Having rung prior to visiting the smiths arms on monday 15th nov,to ask if they catered for a gluten free diet,i was assured that it was not a problem.Yet on the night,there was hardly anything on the menu that was gluten free.When i asked for various items i was told sorry they contain flour.I had to settle for chicken curry and rice which was brought to the table with guess what????? only a naan bread!.What a dangerous place for somebody with food intolerances to eat.

I recently visited the Peacock with a friend on a Friday evening around 6.00 p.m. The staff were very friendly and the food was excellent. However by around 8.30 p.m. our bill was placed on the table without us asking for it. We then asked for tea and coffee much to the waiter's surprise. Once the drinks arrived the bill was once again placed on the table by the manager and it was very clear that we had overstayed our welcome. My friend and I were quite upset about this as we had planned to stay longer, making the most of the opportunity to catch up. We approached the manager who dealt with our bill and told him that we felt we were being pushed out. He said that he had to "look after the tables", meaning keeping the customers turning over. We said that there were empty tables available and there were no customers waiting to be seated. He was unapologetic when we said we thought that this was an unacceptable way to treat customers. This completely ruined an otherwise very positive experience. It is a shame because I will not visit this restaurant again.

We were staying in the area and were recommended to The Plough we were very disappointed. Service was slow, unfriendly and lacking in sophistication. starters were tasty, nice idea to have the small plates but my main course was served tepid and bland. An unfortunate experience maybe teething troubles?.

Visited for Sunday lunch and the food and wine were both excellent. Very good Sunday lunch menu available as well as extensive Italian a la carte. The staff couldn't do enough for our party. Thoroughly recommended by all 6 of us.

We stumbled across this venue by chance and what a chance to take. The Staff were warm , friendly and extremely helpful. i chose the homemade classic burger whilst my partner chose the hot pot. The food was excellent and considering it was of such a high quality the prices were fantastic only £5.25 for the burger and £4.95 for the hot pot. The standard of the food you would expect to find in a top restaurant. The Nice bar and restaurant is definitely a place we will be visiting again and again and certainly one to recommend to others.

The service was something VERY special, waiters very attentive, couldn't do more for us, even though they asked. Food cooked to perfection, prices reasonable, what more could one ask? Highly recommend Lucianos at the millstone.

a very good restaurant the food is fantastic and it is a very good takeaway to

We are regulars at The Spread Eagle and the food is always excellent - must say though that Sunday's meal was the best ever. Do try the game casserole if it's on the menu!

Only had a quick bite at lunch whilst using their wifi. The sarnie was with their homemade bread which was soft with crusty edges and delicious. Also had a homemade biscuit with my coffee. The place has had a big refurb and matches the quality of the grub!

This restaurant serves us with a good meal every time we come here. The staff are attentive and friendly but leave you to it once you have everything you need. The food is always tasty and fresh, the portions are good and do not over face me as a find in many Indians. I must of nearly worked my way through the menu and have not yet been served something i didn't enjoy. The relaxed atmosphere and smart decor make this the perfect place to go for a curry at a good price. And all washed down with a good pint of draught Indian lager.

This is a nice comfortable country pub just outside Ormskirk. Genial host Andy and good atmosphere, guest beers , open fires and the food, which is traditional style is very good indeed, good quality and well cooked. There is a Carvery on wed night and all day sunday, a cut above chain venues, I must say. Reasonable prices and well recommended.

love this place, its cosy and very romantic,staff are really nice and friendly, and vegetarian menu is fab

Agree with the previous reviewer/. Arrived on 5th November and the restaurant was largely empty which of course impacts on the atmosphere. However the staff and James the boss/head chef where very attentive and made us feel very welcome. The food was excellent . I had scallops for a starter which were the most "scallopy" scallops I'd had for ages. For the main I had lamb which was melt in the mouth and in a delicious sauce. and then for a dessert I had caramelised pineapple, apple and banana in a ginger infused syrup with ice cream--the flavours in that were spectacular. I'm gob-smacked the restaurant is not full all the time . Couple of things...the lighting changes colours and doesn't doesn't do the appearance of the food any favours--when the lights shift to yellow/orange it looks beautiful, when its red it looks like something out of a horror film. The menu is interesting and I wonder whether it feels as adventurous as some of the menus you see on the plethora of tv shows nowadays. I'd have to say that what it doesn't bring out is the care that James takes in sourcing his food and the fact that he cooks his food better than the majority of restaurants in the region. We'll definitely be going back for gourmet evenings that they hold regularly there and I do hope that a few more folk go through the doors---the care and attention and great food deserve it.
