Reviews in Lancashire

I recently visited this restaurant after many recommendations from friends and family. Although the food was pleasant I was not impressed by the service. Our party of 5 were sat in the corner next to the door, which was constantly being opened by people picking up their takeaway or by the diners. Our waiter promptly came over once we were seated to take our order. The starters came within 10 minutes and I must admit the food was very good. After we had finished our starters, the table was cleared and are main courses were given to us. In both instances the waiters were quite quick, however once our main courses were served, their promptness came to an end. We had wanted to order some more naan and some rice but couldn't attract the attention of the waiter to do so. They never came over to see if our meal was alright, nor did they ask if we needed anything else. In the end we gave up and eventually managed to get someone to give us our bill. I would recommend this restaurant for the food but the service really let them down. If you're visiting this restaurant, I'd make sure you go with plenty of time on your hands!

Booked for 11 people for a colleagues birthday luckily we rang before we set off as we needed to amend the table to 12 instead of 11. They had booked us in the for the 7th November instead of the 14th November. Luckily we had rang beforehand. So my recommendations is get them to confirm the date as they clearly haven't got a clue about bookings ? Very angry as we were all looking forward to eating here as we dine at the three fishes quite regular. New staff need more training maybe????????????????

Went here on Sunday lunchtime, car-park was almost full but we got seated straight away. The staff are all lovely, welcoming - all smiling. The price of the food was very reasonable for the quality of what was served. Everything we had was sublime. Even the drinks weren't too pricy - £2.25 for a cappuccino with a slab of Grasmere gingerbread was really good for a pub with great food as you often find they hike the drinks up. We paid £53 + tip for 3 courses, two pints, two soft drinks & a cappuccino - very good price for what we got, and we couldn't eat another bite all day!!

We have eaten here a few times & as we live locally we have ordered food to takeaway and I have to say each time I have been disappointed. Not cheap to eat here & I would say no differnt to any other restaurant, nothing special, not a lot of meat & alot of sauce, food catered for the english market - should be more authentic. We went to celebrate an 18th - they actually forgot to 'sing happy birthday' everyone else seemed to have their turn but not us, i telephoned the next day & i was told to come back & they would make a fuss - Sorry but you only have 1 18th & 1 chance to make it special - let down.

Staff very hard working, disagree with 1 comment of a high staff turnover, we have been eating here for years & mostly the same staff have stayed there, other than that staff stay a few years then go to university - the same for any restaurant. Food is excellent, reasonably priced, nicely decorated, would recommend anyone trying.

We had an excellent meal at The Clog yesterday. A superior Ploughmans Platter to share for a starter. Followed by an exceptionally tasty Mutton Pudding with Black Peas and capers and A toad in the hole. The Chianti was good and reasonable at only £20. Great value considering the quality of food, service and ambience.

I have now stayed at The Stork Inn for several nights on 2 separate occasions while working in the area. The setting is charming, the accommodation was of a high standard, and the food was consistently excellent. However, what stands out at The Stork Inn is the consistent very high level of service (not just from Tracy, but from all the staff; even the gentlemen who look after the gardens and window boxes are welcoming and friendly). Tracy did all she could to fit in with the needs of someone working away from home. Like a number of others guests I spoke to during my two stays, I will now use this as a base whenever I am working in the Lancaster area . Highly recommended for either business or pleasure.

Enjoyed a fantastic meal at MJs for our silver wedding anniversary 17th Sept. 2008 the food just melted in the mouth Steve the chef was excellent as was the food, service and cost. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys fine food.

While shopping on Saturday we fell upon Tottos, what a find! this restaurant is a gem. the food was delicious and the staff made us feel so welcome. I would definitely recommend anyone to try it, value for money, we will certainly be going to eat there again.

Never had a bad meal, and we have been over 12 times now, and even the veg is outstanding, even when i steal it of my husbands plate, i love the atmosphere and the decor, well done to all involved this is the kind of place to go for a special evening not somewhere to go just to "eat"

What a great place with fantastic food and friendly staff. We have been a lot since they opened, both in larger groups and as a couple, and the standard has always been the same. Cant say enough good things about this restaurant, well worth a visit.

Had a fabulous lunch at Pond and had a Tapas duo menu great value at 2 dishes for £7, and then came again 2 days later with friends in the evening, both were fabulous, the variety on the menu is outstanding as one of us is vegan and one allergic to oranges! and i can't eat wheat, so to say we have problems eating together is an understatement, but i have to say that we shall go no further than Pond everything is fresh and they have looked after us with ease and an attentive yet approachable service which is second to none. The Pan seared lamb is delightful and the scallops in causa a dream, please put pond on your visit list its well worth it. We've booked our christmas do and are going again tomorrow.

Almost everytime I visit Preston I go to Tottos because they treat you as one of the family and food is always second to none! The cuisine is a mix of eastern European and Turkish and, as stated before, is always fantastic. But the best part is the ambience. The family open their arms and welcome you wholeheartedly and that makes for a wonderful evening. If you do find yourselves on Fleet St (right in the heart of town) pop in and try the Kleftiko. Delicious!!

I have eaten in this restaurant a few times now and the food has been excellent both times….I would recommend that you pay it a visit, the restaurant is well price and the service is excellent!! Give it a try you will be surprised as it is much better quality food than you normally get when attending functions here.

I ate here on Sunday with my friends, the service was good and the portions sizes are massive….well price and make sure you are very hungry before you go because you will be full to bursting when you leave!!!

I have eaten here on many occasions and the food is always really good, however on Saturday night I just wanted a takeaway from here and fancied a change but couldn’t find your Website or menu’s anywhere, after about 20 mins trawling the Internet and finding nothing I went to the Chinese takeaway in Baxenden, do you have a web address so that you don’t lose my business again??

There are perhaps a half-dozen truly outstanding restaurants in Preston (Duk/Pond, Sakura, and at times, Moka, So, Cafe Bar, and the Chop House), but there is one which separates itself from the crowd in terms of ambience, friendliness, and a general determination to make you feel truly welcome and appreciated.... and that is Totto's. I have sampled all that Preston has to offer over the past 3 years, eating out 1-2 times per week, but Totto's remains my first choice. Niko and has team always offer an outstanding atmosphere, always make us feel appreciated, and always provide warm, inviting, and tasty food, each and every time. The value is second-to-none in Preston. I have taken any number of visiting dignitaries from around the world to Totto's, and Niko and crew have never failed to leave a wonderful impression. Get there and support the best of Preston!
