Reviews in Lancashire

hi, this is my families favourite place to eat, Sunday the 9th we went it was full to the seams, the food was so good. could not fault it, the staff are friendly, the owner/manager has time to talk to each table, we ordered fudge cake for my grandson when we booked, as it can soon go.and its his fav sweet. we love the atmosphere , with the little fairy lights everywhere. it all makes the place special, going again on sunday 24 th may 2009. " try it"

I have travelled to Angels twice for special occasions with friends and both times the food and service has been absolutely amazing. We have been made to feel extremely welcome, the people there made us feel pampered whilst giving us the time to enjoy our meal. Thank you Angels!

two words, best around

My wife & I dined at Angels recently. We were warmly welcomed by staff and were made to feel special from the moment we entered. The ambience was warm, serene and pleasing. The decor was modern with it's own unique twist on style. Throughout we were treated as special guests which is highly complimentary of the professionalism of the staff and we did not feel rushed at any stage. The food was faultless. Portion sizes and the blend of flavours - perfect! A thoroughly enjoyable evening of being spoilt in style!

2nd visit with family (sister's birthday), very impressed again; pigeon breast starter was divine and the sirloin steak is the best I've had in the whole of Lancashire I kid you not. Hub had venison ravioli which he was well impressed with and following that with the rabbit fest dish (rabbit cleverly done three ways) very very tasty (I pinched some), the kids both had the rabbit casserole off the specials board and although it was a little fiddly for the youngest it was still declared a success. We've been twice here and it is excellent, really; not crowded, not rushed, really friendly and "posh without pomp", jeans and t-shirt but superb quality. Martina and Jonathan have done a tremendous job here and every credit goes to them and their team...wait on staff superb, pleasant and genuinely very good. We will definitely be back. Very well done.

Discovered Etna on Saturday evening during a visit to Lancaster. To call it Pizza/Pasta is to undersell this place - yes the pasta was great, but it really is a proper Italian Restaurant with a full menu of what, going by our experience, is excellent, top quality, meat/fish/pasta etc, cooked to the highest standard. The best Italian food I've had in years - topped by a great atmosphere and a very convivial host. Reasonable prices, good wine list etc - I only wish they were in London where live - I'd be there every week.

While visiting from Victoria, BC, Canada, your restaurant was recommended to us by our hosts, the Carters, in Rimington. This is the best Italian restaurant we have ever been to. The warm welcome, the food and the wine were all beyond compare...and for a very reasonable price. Not to be missed and we will recommend La Locanda to anyone we know! Many thanks indeed for a most enjoyable evening.

One of my best friends used to live in this pub when she was little and never revisited the place since she left many many years ago and then a few weeks ago we decided to take a trip down memory lane and go and get something to eat, we were not disappointed, the weather was beautiful and the beer garden is one of the nicest ive ever seen, the food was good too, the waitress got some of our order wrong but it was quickly rectified and left us feeling happy with the whole experience!!!! I would say one thing tho, I usually find places to eat on this website and if my friend had not suggested this place I would never have heard of it and missed out on the lovely experience I had!!!

we went for my mothers birthday and had the best food we have had in a long while. Everything is homemade and the choice is second to none from homemade burgers, steaks, tapas to salads and sandwiches on a variety of breads. The staff made us feel very special and even lit a candle on a small cake for the birthday. It is quite obvious why they have the best in burnley award and the lancashire award. we will be returning on a regular basis.

Fantastic food, great service and the best looking place in burnley

I have to say Northcote is absolutely wonderful. The food was fabulous and the staff were very attentive and efficient. The grounds are beautiful and extremely picturesque, well worth a walk around prior to eating! I would definitely recommend it to others.

Food and service absolutely brilliant highly recommend it.

Best restaurant in the North West! Superb, innovative chef serving quality gourmet food. Owners are 'front of house' guiding friendly, helpful staff to create a fine dining experience which is second to none. Recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for the best food, wines and ambience in and around Preston/Blackburn area.

We visited The Spice Room for the first time yesterday evening. Decor: a tasteful blend of contemporary and traditional. Staff: attentive, without being a nuisance. Menu: good range of dishes, including vegetarian options. The vegetable jalfrezi and samber were both excellent and the chana di khal was very tasty. It was the best meal we've eaten out for quite a while and we're looking forward to eating here again very soon.

well three of us had lunch there today .it was brilliant .loads of free salad/ roll /etc from the salad bar and the main meals steak/gammon /burger were all excellent we had three free ices too as we had a token from a newspaper .it was a nice environment and the staff were good at what they did and were pleasant ,and talkative .would recommend to anyone and with drinks for three it was just over £21 well you cant beat that .wish all restaurants were half as good .look and learn everyone ENJOY !!!
