Reviews in Lancashire

This Gastro Pub is local to us and we have been many times and had some great meals. Whilst the prices may seem high you can get half price steak and chips on a Monday which is the best we have ever had. There is an early diners option which is available up to 7.30pm during the week. Last time we went I had catch of the day which was sea bass which was cooked to perfection. My husband loves the roast dinners on a Sunday. Mushrooms on toast is another memorable dish (a starter) as it includes a little truffle oil. If you have room the sticky toffee pudding with cinder toffee ice cream is just to die for. Drinks aren't cheap but we normally get a bottle of wine between the two of us as these are priced at reasonable rates.

Great value for money, friendly and professional staff. Steaks are top drawer and we are picky. Great Gastro food, pleasant atmosphere and good choice to accommodate all tastes. We do a 32 mile round trip and think it is worth every mile of it. Enjoy

Fabulous restaurant, it's my fave Thai in Lancashire. The food is absolutely delicious, with no concessions made to Western tastes (in a good way) the service is always warm and welcoming. Don't be out off by the rather pink decor, it's part of the experience and is just a sign that this place is all about the food.

After having not been to the Pack Horse for some years, I was interested to see whether it had changed - no - the decor was very dated - something out of the 80's! The food wasn't much better. Stuffed mushrooms and garlic bread were okay, nothing special, but the tortellini della casa was bland, overcooked mush. Other members of the party were disappointed in the undercooked pizza base, the chicken which was already cooked and re-heated and the abysmal service. Service was no better. We were told the chef was incapable of dealing with 2 separate orders from 1 large table (so we couldn't split the bill). Drinks took forever to be served, jugs of water arrived after we had finished our main course, along with side salads - again, after we finished our main courses. I can't think of any reason to recommend the Pack Horse to anybody

the welcoming atmosphere is almost as tangible as the smells are tantalising to your nose. the staff are attentive without out being overly so. the food is artistically presented and orgasmic to the taste buds - with every flavour coming through individually and not masked by over seasoning. if you have room and your a chocolate lover (this maybe 1 more for the girlies) try the chocolate velvet truffle dessert its as lightness will not stodge you out. yes the price is a little more than your everyday restaurant with everyday food but well worth it and you only need ti visit any fri or sat evening to see that with the amount of people there it has to be darn good.

Good ribs mmmn mmmn

We had our wedding reception at Tinos, after the wedding ceremony and then for the evening party. We cannot emphasise enough how lovely the family are and how helpful they all were. Even my two boys who are 9 and 5 enjoyed both events. Everyone still comments now on how wonderful the food was and how good the service was. The whole family especially Lynne made our day very very special and very very memorable. We cannot recommend Tinos enough.

Very nice food , great service must try lamb leg roast, mango lassi

First time at the Pond and the last. Party of 8 and had the £20 menu. Very disappointed. It certainly was not value for money. One piece of bread with cheese and then one sliver of hamloumi. Then three chicken dishes and one boiled beef one that was tasteless. One bowl of potatoes. There were two veg. in our party and they had garlic mushrooms and mash with some leaves for £20, I think not. In and out in under and hour !!!

went to the barton bangla brasserie with my boyfriend as he had heard of it but never been there. the inside was really nicely decorated, we had a drink in the waiting area which was comfortable. the food was amazing, best Indian food i have ever eaten, good portion size and so delicious. the staff were friendly and i am definitely going back there

The food is definitely not geared towards people who love Indian food!! I had chicken tikka massala and my wife had chicken bhuna. The chicken tikka massala was very very salty and the chicken bhuna tasted like a microwave meal from a budget supermarket brand! The waiters are unhelpful and the man on reception was very grumpy and lacked customer skills! If your after quality Indian food and a good atmosphere i would recommend the shajan!!!

I've been to 1725 several times. I try different tapas each time, and I'm always amazed at how good each is.

fantastic value for money, good food, good service, nice and clean and friendly cosy atmosphere. lovely views too. mid-week special can't be beaten & the steak pie is the best!

This delightful deli bar has a nice ambiance, we stopped for a coffee and cake. My wife chose a Rocky Road to die for. There's lots to admire inside with art on the walls and gorgeous food items to take away. It's licensed too!

Spent a fab night at the Spread last week. Cosy bar with real ale, the nicest restaurant I have been in, food was fabulous, the room was lovely, the setting was lovely,a guy played acoustic guitar and sang while we finished off a great bottle of wine, I was in heaven. Sawley Abbey 3 minutes walk away.

Stunning venue and very tastefully renovated establishment completely let down by some of the worst service I have ever experienced when eating out! It took us over 2 hours to have starters and main courses for 6 people! The staff where nowhere to be seen. Not once did our waitress come and ask how our meals were and when we received our Caesar Salad, it had Anchovies on it! For someone who dislikes fish this wasn't something I could eat so when I politely asked the waitress if I could return the salad and explained why, she very rudely spoke to me as if I was some sort of imbecile, apparently all Caesar Salads are served with Anchovies! I remarked that I had never heard of that and that I do not eat fish and she again answered me back with attitude! She did however ask if we would prefer a Caesar Salad without Anchovies I thought that this would be then end of the matter but on receipt of our new salad it was clear from the taste that it was the same item but with the offending fishes picked off! How to loose customer satisfaction in an instance! Needless to say we left the salad and although we did end up paying for it, my wife mentioned to the waitress when we came to pay and she was then rude to her also remarking that she had personally supervised our new salad herself, to my disgust this was in a way saying that we were liars and it can't have been a fish taste in our Caesar Salad! Why on earth is this bolshy, argumentative woman in the hospitality industry, I would seriously consider a career change to perhaps the prison service luv! If you are considering a trip out to the Plough Inn, then my advise is don't bother, the food is over priced, the staff are inattentive and from our experience rude and argumentative! You also will pay for absolutely everything as an addition to the main items on the menu, i.e. you want vegetables with your meal... you pay extra! you want sauce with you meal... you pay extra! you want bread with your meal... you pay extra! you want chips with that... guess what? yes, you pay extra! Come on Plough, this is what I would have expected from a Michelin star establishment with attentive, polite and friendly staff, fine cuisine and an experience to warrant the price tag!

the best food and drink

The food was very good and it has a lovely lively atmosphere but I am still in shock at the price of a glass of the house wine! 6-60 for a large, and 3-30 for a regular glass! I don't think i'll be rushing back!
