Reviews in Lancashire

The WELCOME: Stepinside, and you are greeted by an atmosphere that balances rustic historic charm with contemporary elegance. The service is a standout feature; exceptionally attentive, welcoming, and knowledgeable without ever feeling overbearing. Every so often, a lunch/dinner transitions from a simple meal into a genuinely memorable event. This spectacular dining experience achieved exactly that. It seamlessly combined flawless technique, warm hospitality, and a vibrant atmosphere into an absolute masterclass in modern gastronomy. The menu is a brilliant celebration of seasonal ingredients, where classic flavour combinations are elevated by inventive, modern techniques. My Verdict This was not just lunch it was a flawless culinary journey. From the precision of the kitchen to the effortless grace of the service, every element was executed to absolute perfection. For anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion—or simply experience dining at its absolute finest—this is an absolute must-visit. Thank you team from Joe & Caroline

Great food and amazing staff!

Sadly this is the second disappointing visit in recent months. Today we arrived at 7.15 and waited for 20 minutes for drinks. We then continued to wait for our order to be taken. After another 15 minutes the waitress informed us there were a large number of items unavailable. When we visited on a Sunday a few weeks ago, by 5.30 there were no roasts left. Neither was there fish pie, lamb or mixed grill. Both times we ended up with burgers which were ok but not what we had gone for. Very disappointed and will sadly not be giving it a third chance. Plenty of other local pubs and restaurants that we currently feel are providing a better service.

Took my friend for her birthday , food was excellent we both had monkfish, clams , mussels & prawns in a garlic sauce . The service was great & friendly lovely atmosphere. I would highly recommend going.

An absolutely delicious freshly made meal was enjoyed by us all. My husband had the bacon chop, our friend the chicken Caesar salad and I the beef brisket and pancetta roly poly. Our two puddings were the honeycomb cheesecake and dark chocolate and banana Eton Mess. Each dish was an absolute joy to eat! Clearly quality ingredients and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere was warm and inviting … and all the tables were full. We will definitely look forward to returning. Thank you for serving beautiful food (and at sensible prices), it is appreciated.

Excellent food and service. Great lunch with plenty of choice.

We went for lunch. Decided on the small plates so we had four between two and it’s was perfect. Such lovely food. All presented well and we really enjoyed it. Can’t wait to go back. Think I’d order the same!! Service very good and good atmosphere.

I visited Papa Luigi’s with a friend on Tuesday 2nd June. The Restaurant is a lovely place and the Staff were Impeccable. We opted for the 2 course Lunch deals. I had stuffed mushrooms followed by beef stroganoff- they were Delicious!! I highly recommend this venue-5 Stars! Thankyou.

Always lovely food, and staff.

Excellent service, Excellent food, and real genuine people who work there, they make you feel very welcome, and a family friendly atmosphere, love papa Luigi's,

Delicious food and great service.

Food was lovely, staff are friendly and the environment was relaxing and calm. We had a lovely time!

Excellent value for money and lovely pizzas. We had pizzas at only £6.95 each. It was my great nieces 3rd birthday and the staff brought her ice cream with a candle and sang to her which made her day. Lovely setting with duck pond to keep the kiddies occupied. Food , ambiance and staff excellent. Had a lovely time and never felt rushed.

Disappointing is how I'd describe the meal we had at the Sultan. The venue is great but it's not that popular so there's no real atmosphere. Service was ok but nothing special. So to the food: poppadoms were ok but felt like they'd been cooked earlier. The accompaniments were awful. An orange gloopy sweet one, a red gloopy spicy one, an uninspiring yoghurt one, and some raw onions. Years ago any Indian restaurant would serve you mango chutney and lime pickle - this was way below that level. Main course lamb biriani was ok, spice level just right, except it came with a vivid red 'sauce' that had been made in a factory somewhere not in the kitchen. Again the memory banks are telling me that a biriani comes with a vegetable curry. Nope, not here it doesn't. This place needs someone to care about how poor it has become, and fix it, and fast!

Ate at Quattro’s for our wedding anniversary for the 2nd year. As usual service and food were excellent a I requested a nice quiet table and again this was accommodated and a lovely touch with the dessert. Highly recommend Quattros and not just for special occasions or a treat Thank you

Came here with my Brother for a catch up. Great food platter and wine, we had a great time. Would really recommend.

I would highly recommend The Lunesdale Arms. We had a group of 10 for a celebration. We had to pre book our food but that was no problem and the menu was varied and extensive. Everyone enjoyed the menu choices. The communication between staff and myself was done via phone and email and very easily done. Plenty of parking front and back. Lovely village location. Staff friendly, helpful and attentive. Meal absolutely brilliant. Starters of Spanish hash, chefs scotch egg, mussels, calamari and broccoli temporal where complemented and devoured. Mains were also wonderful. The mixed grills were huge but in our family there are some comparable appetites so the food was eaten. One person couldn't manage all their chicken kebab but staff boxed it to take home. All the food was delicious and everyone enjoyed the meal. Drinks were served throughout the meal and water replaced. We went on a Wednesday night and there were other dinners but the atmosphere was nice and not noisey so the conversations around the table were flowing and could be heard. If we were in the area again, we would definitely go again. We were all on a weeks holiday.
