Reviews in Lancashire

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!

Superb. The staff and food are fantastic. The place is gorgeous, the staff go above and beyond. I have allergies and they were so helpful. One of the finest meals we have had in quite a while. I recommend it to you all and cannot imagine anyone being dissatisfied with their experience.

The food here is exceptional. Me and my wife have made a habit of eating here since we first found it. There is simply no Chinese restaurant anywhere in this are where the food is of such quality. I highly recommend the all you can eat menu that runs from Sunday-Thursday, sensational.

Always a delight, where do I start? The staff are brilliant, friendly helpful and attentive, their faces light up like the Mediterranean sun. The wines are delicious, and then there's the food. The Terruel ham & Manchego with a glass of Riojan Viuira was my 1st lunch experience, deeeelisshhus. Anything with Chorizo in it gets my vote but The Deli Med is the best Chorizo I've ever bought in this country, so now I can't pass by without buying some. If you haven't been you have to try this little piece of the Med in Preston .

I do not recommend this restaurant... I ordered a chicken wrap I paid £7 for and i received a half a wrap with about two pieces of chicken in it i also had a small bowl of rice that probably cost about 50p and the rest of my plate was "beefed up" with lattice... I have never been to such a rip off place in my life...

We recently celebrated our daughter's graduation at The Meeting House. All five of us thought that the food and ambience were superb. It is a delightful and comfortable setting with great service. But above all the food was outstanding - every dish (and we all had something different) was unique, freshly cooked, sourced locally and presented really well. A great evening - true hospitality!

A lovely evening. The 2nd time we have been. Food super, service very relaxed, the way we like it. Toilets immaculate. Beautiful ambiance. About time Darwen had some lovely restaurants. Congratulations, You all work very hard. And it shows!! See you soon x
