Reviews in Lancashire

Haven`t been here for some time and this made our visit all the more special. What a treat, superb in every way.

Been there on a number of occasions with different guests. All in all what a wonderful setting next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal. It has a varied and exciting menu that's a lot better than your average with starters to die for and main meals that are just superb. cannot remember the name of the Italian Merlot but this is one of the nicest red wines i have tasted. Well worth the long walk up from Chorley.

Great restaurant with helpful staff and top notch food.

Oriental Restaurant what can i say, this was fantastic, its £7.50 per head, and you can eat what ever you want in 1 hour and 30 mins. Its great value for money. On arrival to the oriental you see a big fish tank that were under the bar, its a great place, with chinese music playing, some English, and it's fantastic. When me and my wife go we get 2 pints of bitter and 2 meals and it only costs £17.80. Its great value for money. When you go up to the buffet bar, you can see the chefs making the food and working very hard, they are always running out into the buffet area supplying fresh and hot and tasty foods. The Oriental is fantastic, and when you leave your table, the waitresses clean your table when your up at the buffet bar, you come back to you table and eat the fantastic food. They also have a range of desserts in the cake and ice-cream section. Please try it because its fantastic.

Without doubt good value for money a place i will be going back to repeatedly .

My partner and I had Sunday lunch at the Walton Arms in Altham on 29th March 2009 and frankly we have been very disappointed by the service. We ordered our food at 2.50pm and opted for the the three course offer and sat in the bar area - this was probably our first mistake, as we were forgotten about. The starters were pleasant enough, and the main course acceptable though the roast beef was a little too fatty and chew in places. We waited for someone to clear our plates (from about 3.55pm) but no-one came, so we left at approximately 4.25pm without enjoying our third course which had already been paid for. On leaving we were going to speak to the staff, but couldn't get their attention as 4 of them were in deep discussion at the end of the bar, oblivious to the needs of their customers. This was our first visit to the Walton Arms and probably our last - what a shame that such poor service has left a bad impression

Blue Elephant - Chorley This is an indian restaurant situated in a nice location with a good sized car park. The decor inside is modern and there is a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The The staff are smartly dressed and attentive, however, we did feel they were a little too attentive and intrusive at times. There is a wide selection of dishes although given the quality of the food, we did not feel that this represented good value for money. We both had chicken dishes, and although the chicken was very tasty, we were both very disappointed with the sauces. The masala sauce was more reminiscent of a korma but with red colouring, in that, it tasted very sweet and coconuty… I was told that the sauce consisted of a great deal of sugar and half coconut/almond flakes which would explain the very, very sweet and sickly taste. The waiter also told me that if I saw what they had put in the sauce in terms of sugar etc I would not eat the dish… The side order of chips, which I was told would be the best chips around, tasted like they had been re fried and were, as a result very greasy. The mushroom pilau rice tasted like it had also been reheated on at least one occasion. The toilet facilities were adequate and clean. The mints were nice. In summary: Great location Nice Decor Attentive staff Disappointing food - will not return or recommend.

I visited the Dolphin Lounge Restaurant with a group of friends this week and was firstly amazed at the recent transformation of the premises which is truly stunning! The atmosphere was electric and the food was to die for. We had a great time and will most definitely become regulars. Love it!

We have eaten here for lunch and evening. Excellent food and as it is a small restaurant the atmosphere is friendly and intimate. |Had a great night with our friends. Lovely lobster - a special - and great cocktails. The staff are lovely too.

Great pub/restaurant with lovely food at an excellent price. VERY BUSY so make sure you book, because of this it is sometimes a little noisy but this all adds to the ambience and the service is always very good. An excellent place to enjoy home cooked pub food, the staff are extremely friendly and you could not enjoy a better country pub atmosphere. My husband and I highly recommend a visit no matter if you live local or not.

Visited this restaurant on Friday evening (3/4/2009) with husband, parents and children. Couldn't fault a thing. The food, surroundings and service were excellent. Will definitely be a regular from now on.

Had a wonderful Lunch here yesterday with a stunning view to boot. This has got to be one of the best places to visit in the North of England. It has it all, history, location, views and great food and wine.

Both the food + the service in the Border Rose Inn are first class, the homemade pies are very tasty + the portions are very filling + the waitress service is excellent, you get a lot for the price - it is well worth a visit.

Delightful and cosy tapas restaurant where you can relax and enjoy yourself whilst being tended upon by first class waiters/waitresses who serve with a smile and leave you at ease to enjoy your evening . So much do i enjoy this place i travel from Blackpool knowing a pleasant evening guaranteed.

my wife and i have just got back from another great meal at the Border Rose pub/restaurant,with myself being a bi-lateral amputee i never have any problems,as the owner/chef who's name is Barry always helps my wife to carry my wheelchair up the steps into the restaurant.....nothing is too much trouble for the staff,and the menu and food are always top class.....my wife and i eat there at least once a month and recommend this restaurant to you all.

The restaurant is very smart, really cool decor and the food was tasty. However it seemed the restaurant had over booked and we felt pressured by quite rude waiters who wanted us to eat, drink and leave as soon as possible. An otherwise nice meal was spoilt by overbearing waiters, the food was lovely and there was a massive variety but I wouldn't go on a Saturday night again if I was ever to go. Drinks are quite expensive, the food was reasonable and it's nice to see a good variety of desserts which most Indian restaurants usually lack.

ive been tonight and the service is slow and the food was burnt

Visited the Stork Inn this afternoon, It was a perfect spring afternoon, Drove from Blackpool through some of Lancashires most beautiful countryside with the hood down. On arriving we found a table in the restaurant/bar area. It had a varied menu with good vegetarian options. There was also a specials menu and it offers good choice for families as most dishes have half size price options with them, great for kids or for grazing. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We stayed for 2 hours rather than the planned 1 hour stop! This place was recommended by tourism professionals who told us this place was a little different. THINGS I LIKED- -Friendly staff and family run. (felt like a local after 10 mins!) -Traditional style country pub -Prompt and attentive service -An excellent varied menu with veg and family options. -Unique South African traditional cuisine -All food prepared and cooked on the premises Inc awesome sweets. THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE- -I had to go home! OVERVIEW- -This place is one to watch, I was told that they are planning BBQ's and have lots of ideas to keep customers interest.
