Reviews in Lancashire

Hi my wife and I came for a meal on Tuesday the 16th June to celebrate out wedding anniversary, I wanted to say thank you for a fantastic meal and great service, we really enjoyed ourselves, the food was brilliant so give my regards to the chef, and the staff were very efficient and helpful, we will definitely be back.

Very nice pub, i come here frequently and have never been disappointed. The service is Excellency and so is the food with big portions always served. Nicely decorated, could not think of one fault with this Pub, Would give it 10 out of 10

visited on a Thursday evening, so it wasn't too busy. good choice of pizza and pasta, but found the specials and meat/fish menu to be a little on the pricey side. ordered cannelloni, found it to be a little on the sloppy side, and the portions were quite small. Hubby had a bacon spaghetti dish, again small portions. left feeling a bit disappointed, and hungry!..

Visited here several times over the years and usually have the lamb, it's so tender and just falls off the bone. I've been with groups from work who have had different main courses and they all said theirs was good. No complaints about the food , but the restaurant is very dark with minimal lighting which makes it difficult to read the menu, especially if its winter and dark outside.

I went to the Dolphin for lunch with a pal and her 5 year old daughter last month for lunch. I arrived about half an hour after the restaurant claimed it opened and was completely ignored by the staff. There was another couple who had arrived shortly before us for a table and were treated exactly the same. Disgusted, I left for San Marco instead where I had a fantastic meal. I'll never go again.

My wife and I consider this to be the very best Fine Dining in Lancashire. We have visited on several occasions and are always made extremely welcome by the attentive, but not intrusive, staff. The eating experience is out of this world for excellence and a calm and tranquil ambience if all around. Highly recommended to anyone liking gourmet food served in an unrushed atmosphere.

After being completely ignored by the staff at the Dolphin Inn, Longton, I drove to San Marco and thank god I did. The food was fantastic, the staff extremely friendly and the service wonderful. Me and my pal brought along her 5 year old daughter and the staff were great with her. Definitely going back!

The food is really good and everyone is really friendly! There is no lack of the same quality for take-away meals either... I recommend the Masala absolutely!

This restaurant is simply AMAZING! I have been coming here since I was young with my grandparents and now me and my boyfriend go at least once every 2 months. I have tried various other Chinese restaurants around the area but none can compare. I highly recommend eating here to anybody. Also look out for the Chinese New Year festivities they hold- bound to blow you away!

Bashall Barn has had an amazing extension. The new restaurant is spacious and contemporary in stunning rural surroundings. Whilst dining you can watch the cows being milked in the attached barn, don't worry you cant smell them. I didn't get chance to eat but i definitely will next time.

I eat here on a regular basis, the food is fantastic and reasonably priced! My partner and I normally eat here at lunch time or at happy hour in the evening at 5.30 till 6.30 so even with a starter each, our bill is never more than £25.00. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and food is prepared quickly, in fact I have never waited longer than 20 minutes for a meal here. Their onion and chilli garlic bread is the best I have ever had - and always comes piping hot. Deserts are also great, especially the Alabama soft rock chocolate fudge cake! I would definitely recommend P&P's to anyone, even those not too keen on Italian dishes as they prepare a number of English meals also.

Has to be THE best Indian takeaway ever - have tried others but always come back to these guys - and have done for 5 years now - every curry tastes and looks different but always delicious - none of this one sauce fits all for them! Try them and you will not be looking elsewhere....

The Spice Lounge is a fantastic restaurant. The staff are extremely professional and welcoming. The food is of the highest quality and isn't too expensive. Would recommend the Murghi Kali Mirch for a hot(ish) curry.

Now I don't normally write bad reviews for restaurants, especially ones that are right on my doorstep but................. I don't know who's writing these comments which give excellent reviews to a very ordinary restaurant but they mustn't get out much! I've visited The Railway@Euxton about 4 times since it opened and not once has it been a particularly enjoyable experience. The first time I visited, it had only been only several weeks but there's not excuse for food being brought to the table virtually cold and the Bernaise sauce that I order to accompany my sirloin steak had the consistency of water. On the second visit (Grandma's birthday) a rowdy argument broke out on a table close to where we were sitting. The argument continued for several minutes and the management failed to do anything about it. On the third visit (a friends birthday) We waited well over an hour for our starters to arrive after being seated. I ordered a blackpudding starter which came to the table very nearly cold. The waiter took it back to the chef and then returned with the same plate with the reply 'the chef said its meant to be like that'. I can't think of anything I'd less like to do than eat cold blood! My girlfriend sent her lamb main course back twice because it was raw (not rare) in the middle. On the 4th visit the waitress took our order, then returned to inform us that they'd sold out of both meals we chose. So we changed the order. The waitress returned because she forgot to ask how my girlfriend would like her tuna cooking, then returned again to tell her that the tuna was also sold out! After waiting for over an hour for our starters, the main courses where brought to the table! We'd both had had enough at this point, so we left without eating. After complaining to the management, they very kindly invited us back for a complimentary meal. Although the night went very smoothly (because the owner personally took care of us) the standard of cuisine just isn't good. The chef can write a good menu but he sure as hell can't cook one! This restaurant is trying to be something that its not capable of being. With a similar menu and prices as The Clog & Billycock in Pleasington this is a far better option.

You cannot go wrong with Checcos.The food and atmosphere are great in a nice location in the Ribble Valley.For a starter try the meatballs in tomato and garlic sauce served with crusty bread to "dunk".

Beware of fake reviews. We went to the restaurant after reading the review. First issue, the restaurant was design with too much white, it's steal, cold and doesn't give out the sense of luxury as it tried to make people to believe. The place was quiet, the food potion was small and tasted average. The location is heart of 'Student' Village, hence you just don't feel safe to leave your car nearby at night. This feels to be a very amateur attempt, no doubt we may see this restaurant feature soon in Kitchen Nightmare

We visited this restaurant on 26 may 2009 , it was wonderful , well presented and reasonable. they catered for all your needs , i fancied scallops but it wasn't on the menu , but the chef had some fresh ones and put me a starter together with saffron and mash,it was lovely, the fillet was 28 days hung so it was lovely and pink but no blood. We do lots of reviews for various people and visit many restaurants and this is without doubt up there with the best ,especially in Preston (maybe the best). We both had an enjoyable evening and will be visiting again.

Visited midweek lunchtime - definitely worth a try if you are in the area, pleasant service, nice food - we had asparagus fondue, cauliflower in a spicy batter, fish pie and ploughmans - the only downside really was the atmosphere in the place (there didn't really seem to be any) D&A
