Reviews in Lancashire

Visited on a whim for lunch after driving past. I think the place has only recently had a refurb, as the entrance in was very confusing. A bar at the front, with some tables/chairs and then a restaurant behind where the plastering hadn't even been finished. It took the staff a while to recognise we were waiting for a table and there seemed no system for greeting customers. We were seated at the back, in a corner. The restaurant was dingy, needed the lights on despite the sunny weather. We ordered and endured a 40 minute wait for our good. Considering it was basic pub grub there was no reason for the wait - and we weren't the only ones in that boat, there were plenty of other hungry looking diners around the restaurant. The service was poor, there were plenty of staff but they seemed unsure and it lacked someone with strong front of house management skills. When the food came it was good, apart from a roast beef sandwich that was more butter than beef. My partner had a burger, which was good with a giant onion ring. It was an average meal at a restaurant/pub that needs to decide what it wants to be.

Went for a curry with my girlfriend after hearing good things about Bangla Fusion. We had a friendly greeting and were seated with menus and drinks to decide what to have to eat. The surroundings are great for this, lots of comfy sofas. We were taken to our table and enjoyed some poppadoms and skipped straight to the mains. I had an Aje-Baje - chicken tikka - with a naan bread. It was the right amount of spice for me. Girlfriend had a fusion dish, with a spicy salmon with rice. Portions were excellent, service friendly and the price reasonable. Didn't realise they did a special offer on a Sunday between 1 PM 0 6 PM with three courses for around £12. Bargain! A good restaurant, in the running for an F-word nomination and a jewel in the crown of Lancashire's restaurant scene.

Fantastic service. Great night out!

I dined here last night for my birthday, there were nine of us and we had had a room to ourselves. The service was excellent as was the quality and presentation of the food. I have no hesitation in recommending Amelies to anyone wanting a superb dining experience.

Me and my husband return to this restaurant again and again as you really feel at home and always feel welcomed by the staff there. The food is excellent and is good value for money as the portions are big. Would always recommend this restaurant to anyone. The restaurants ambience and surroundings really make you feel as if you are on holiday!!!!!!

I dined here with friends on 1 April and the meal was as usual top class. We have been here a number of times and have always been looked after exceptionally by the staff and the food has always been superb.

Fantastic, what more can I say! Been twice now and both times the food was incredible, thoughtful but not over the top presentation and lots of distinct and full flavours and textures, all cooked to perfection. Lovely staff and chef remembered us from the last time! I actually loved the sorbet so much I could have eaten that as a standalone desert! However, the sorbet was pipped to the post by the most delicious and tasty dessert I've ever eaten - the amazing sticky toffee pudding! I'm not usually a dessert man, but it was so good I could have eaten about ten of them! Please, please, please don't ever take that off the menu!

Amazing im going there for my birthday fave restaurant of all time

What a brilliant little restaurant this is!, called in with my girlfriend and her son the other Saturday about 5.30pm, we ordered the starter, main and rice for £9.95... it was worth every penny... we had a drink in the wine boutique, and, as i love my wine, i wasn't disappointed with the choice on offer. The food is the best Indian I've ever had, the staff i have to mention were absolutely perfect, polite, courteous, and very very efficient!, the decor and everything about this little place tucked away near the Post Office is PERFECT. I cannot recommend it enough!

Best chippy ever! shame we moved house we used to live 2 mins away, now make the journey its worth it!! Fresh approach to fish and chips, service with a passion for good food and service, a wedge of lemon with fish! Fantastic don't go anywhere else Keep up the good work!!

i have been a customer of la rocca since it opened approx 5 years, since sampling their pizzas i have refused to eat anyone else's pizza as they wont live up to how good la roccas are, the bases are lovely and thin and seem authentic and handmade, the tomato sauce is delicious and toppings are generous. I can also the garlic breads which are also divine. I have eaten inside several times with my family and obviously the food is magnificent and service is good. i have found the management friendly and helpful and there is a strong family atmosphere (it seems the manager/head chef is from Italy and the lady who runs front of house is English and his wife) There are very good offers at the moment (3 courses for a tenner) which is good but obviously a beer/bottle of wine bumps the price up. This place SHOULD be renowned throughout chorley as the best Italian in the area but because of its tucked away location people are unaware of it or how good it is. I urge u to try this place if you enjoy fine authentic Italian food at reasonable prices

lite lunch just fills the spot can't beat the price, top tasting fish n chips. Quality fish, I travel miles to this chippy, got to be the best around. Well, this side of the white rose.... Must say the banter is pretty good too.

I went here for the first time last night, food was good and service good too. Menu very different from other places I have been too, well worth checking it out on the website first so you know what to expect. My friends and I opted for the al-a -carte menu and desserts. The bill was £73 for 3 of us which included 2 cocktails, one glass of wine and a glass of lemonade. I had fresh water king prawns and my friends both had piri, piri chicken and we got a bowl of veg and potatoes between us all. Food was warm and we all enjoyed it. It was small inside but lovely and warm and I enjoyed the singer who was on, not too intrusive and not too loud. . We got 2 for 1 cocktails as it was Thursday night. I would definitely go again but I would go when they have their half price offers or 2 for 1 deals on and I am definitely going to try their lunchtime deals. Was only spoilt by a whiff of cigarette smoke drifting in from outside later on in the night but would go again.

II had been meaning to get around to booking a mean in this wonderful looking building for ages. Finally managed to get around to it, what a disappointment. It was like waking up in the 1970's. It felt like the chef had not had a new idea (or cook book) for the last 30 years. The food was bland, poorly presented and very unimaginative. The waiting staff appeared to have been dressed for a Victorian farce, long black dresses, white frilly aprons and solid sensible footwear. All in all, an expense mistake, will not be making a return appearance.

Gave La Salsa a try after looking for a good offer, i was really surprised by the choice available and the quality of the food. Excellent value for money, well worth a trip.

My favourite town centre eatery, gets better every time. been on a girlie party night which was fantastic, and a few times since with hubby or mum. the service is great, and the food is MUCH better than that other mass produced well known tapas chain, better value and quality and more authentic flavours. Mum particularly loved the king prawns tonight and i love the chicken in tomato, peppers and chilli. The bread's always extra fresh and comes with tasty dips. menu is so vast that even though the tapas are small, you could never eat everything you fancied off the menu - but it's nice to try!

What's not to recommend at J-Seas. Whether your far or whether your near,come try and you'll 'sea' that the best is here. You'll not be disappointed with the finest in town, so for fine Fish and Chips, make your way on down. With awards for a healthy takeaway, a treat from here will make your day!!!

Bland and uninspired in all respects. Food which was not carefully, or adequately, spiced and seasoned. Concentration on quantity over quality. Drinks overpriced. Lackadaisical service. On the plus side - it is clean and you get a lot of food. There are far better choices locally.
