Absolutely amazing, it used to be good when it was the giant's plate. Now it's even better! Great food and wonderful salad bar. We're from Southport but whenever we're in Preston we make the short 4mile drive and have a great lunch. Definitely worth a visit.

We went to Northcote for my birthday and it was fantastic. The staff were excellent and the food was superb. The Apple Trifle, Lemon Choc Ice doesn't sound special, but is highly recommended!! Can't wait to find an excuse to visit again.

We visit the Buck Inn whenever we can with other family members. We love going there as Steve and Rachael always make us welcome . The atmosphere is great and the food is always top class. It is always worth the drive from Accrington worth while.

excellent restaurant, the chicken tikka biryani with samber sauce ohhh so nice and tasty, thats y agra is on top of Indians, mr miah the boss is fantastic

Very nice and fresh food, lots Italian specials for vegetarians, I love the small section at the back, quiet and warm, very well looked after. Nice early bird offer at £5.99 any pasta any pizza.

Friendly staff and very fresh seasonal food, small venue but great atmosphere.

We had lunch here yesterday, and what a transformation! Modern, stylish, welcoming. Best Italian food in the North West...friendly staff. We will be back

We went on recommendation from a couple that we met on holiday. What a great experience, good food, good venue, good service, overall an experience that we have repeated and will continue to repeat in the future. I would commend this Gastropub to all, you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic, very professional staff, table settings, and wonderful food. Will certainly be visiting again. Well done.

We booked Luciano`s for a special evening. The service was excellent and the staff could not do enough to make our evening. The menu was varied with that `something` different to offer and our meal was very good. Having just moved into the area ... this is somewhere to return to.

Ormskirk is not somewhere I go to eat but chance has given me the opportunity to dine in this restaurant twice now, it ticks all the boxes plus. Staff friendly and professional, seem to really care that the diner is happy eating. Ambience terrific. Very clean. Food- well I am so impressed if anywhere gets a veggie meal just right and yes they do, my companion as an omnivore was not disappointed, the food is really excellent, they COOK food to delight the palate.. So looking forward to the next visit- yes folks, we don't have to be stuck on the same menu, specials really are special/

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.
