Absolutely wonderful! The pappa al pomodoro was INCREDIBLE.... Warm and cozy authentic, hearty Italian!

Truffles is worth trying- the food is consistently high quality at a very fair price. From simple steaks to more complex fusion dishes, James the owner/chef enjoys showing his culinary skills. The very wide choice of food, plus a small, but good wine list , combined with excellent service always make a night out there memorable . I'd recommend you try Truffles and support a quality independent local restaurant .

Last night 14 of us from the British Red Cross enjoyed a fantastic meal at Mamma Mias. I had to add more people at the last minute which did not phase them at all - it was simply 'no problem'. The place is clean, bright and very welcoming. Sylvia is the perfect hostess and her staff are very professional, attentive and friendly - thanks to Leanne for all her hard work last night. The food and service was second to none. Often when there is a large party the standard in a restaurant can slip - Mamma Mias is not one of those places! I have no doubt I/we will be returning very soon and I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.

On a one night stopover in the area my husband and I visited Benedict's, for a light meal. Can't praise it highly enough. We were spoilt for choice with light meals, (chef's Pate-Delicious.) Mains and Deserts. Food was 1st class and presentation beautiful, bottle of wine with meal was exceptional value and the coffee delicious. The ambience, food, art work all made for an enjoyable experience, we'll definitely visit again.

This evening we ate a damn tasty, perfectly cooked, large portion, nicely priced excellent variety of caribbean food. The friendly staff made us feel at ease instantly and the perfect surroundings with Bob playing, . . Oh wotta night!!!! We will be recommending and going again soon.

Sheila and I have frequented Mama Mia's for many years. We return very often because the meals are really excellent, good value, and the dining room is comfortable, well maintained and spotlessly clean. We would recommend this restaurant to all who love good food and a pleasant atmosphere.

the food is disgusting don't buy here

Stayed 3 weeks ago on a Sunday and had brilliant 2 days. Great place - lovely food and lovely bloke who owns it. Hotel room - dinner and full breakfast in lovely place for £25 - fantastic. Castle and park 2 mins walk away. Whalley Abbey 10 mins in car.

Highly recommend La laconda went there for the first time 4/10/10 it was the best Italian we have ever had!!!!!!!!! we have bought a lodge near by so we will be regulars.

The railway Gastro Pub. Euxton near chorley has great food. We went on a Monday evening and got half price steaks. I had a rump steak with real chips finished in dripping plus all the trimmings for just over £8. Sweets are delicious -try summer pudding its divine. All the staff were smiley, friendly and very helpful,, nothing was too much trouble. You need to book a table it gets packed.

good food, and good value for money, we did the early bird menu and would say that it did not compromise on quality

My sister recommend this pub for my 60th birthday next year.

Popped in last night late on as we were travelling back from the Lakes. The Plough has had a gorgeous refurb, period yet modern. The menu is modern too with its tapas style options. We had Chorizo and beans, seared beef, terriyaki salmon and chicken noodles all of which were tasty and well presented. All was washed down by a fine pint of Cumberland Ale. Would definitely return!

Went for a meal here at 7pm on a thurs, found this place quite a shock, I thought it would be run of the mill Indian but when you go in there is a lovely relaxing bar whilst you wait for meal, and the decor in the the restaurant is beautiful, the staff couldn't do enough for us, and much to my amazement there was an offer on £9.95 for any starter,main and a pilau rice from 4pm till 7pm up to thurs and up to 6pm sat and Sunday. How many Indian do deals at weekend. The food was fantastic absolutely delicious, and cause it was a large portion I was full so I asked if I could keep the rest of it to take home, the manager put it in a tub to take home and also put an extra free pilau rice in for me to have another meal. It was great from start to finish seriously think you should try this one.

We've eaten here a few times now and its probably the nearest Preston gets to a decent gastropub. Lovely outside beer garden and the pub gets very busy during summer. Really good atmosphere and relaxed surroundings, great range of continental beers and a knowledgeable and friendly staff get meals off to a good start. Belgium fruit beers on tap as well as good real ales and a superb bottled beer selection. Top marks for the range of non-alcoholic Fentimens drinks and a choice of dealcoholized beer for drivers. Portions are large, nicely presented and the chef clearly has masterchef aspirations. For a light meal a starter will certainly suffiice. A goats cheese and baked beetroot tartlet resembled an impressionist work of art and was delicious. Ditto the smoked chicken salad. The 4 hour slow cooked belly pork is fantastic and a personal favourite although you won't be able to fit in a sweet and starter with it. Sweets are mini works of art - there can't be that many chefs as nifty with the sugar basket work. Only criticism is that the interesting menu leaned a bit towards autumnal hearty choices throughout the summer and a large proportion of the dishes seemed to be accompanied by the veal stock boulangere potatoes. (Nonetheless they are very tasty). Great to have a place where you get the sense that the chef's heart is genuinely in the food, it is made on the premises rather than coming out of a freezer and that offers a genuinely interesting choice.

Last week was the first time I had visited your restaurant. We booked for dinner time. The meal was wonderful. Excellent value and very good service. I will be recommending it.

Dined here recently on a Sunday. Three courses for £9.99, you can't really beat that. Food quality was excellent, service a little slow but the waitress's were busy. Will certainly be going back !

Crowded, noisy,waited far too long for a table. Rude disinterested staff. Poor food and poor value for money. Appears that a well established clique are catered for to the exclusion of others. I can only comment that they must be easily pleased.
