Reviews in Lancashire

The first thing about this place is the greeter, dressed like the soldiers on the india/pakistan border. The place is contemporary and hip. The food seems a level above the traditional curry houses I know. The only complaint would be that the staff seem very rigid in their roles, one for food and one for drinks etc. This lets down the front of house. When we were there lots of Asian customers dined too, which has got to be a good sign! Well worth a visit.

I have been to the New Drop several times to lunch with relatives. While they love the place, I have to say the menu hasn't changed over the years and it would be nice if they could add some new dishes. Also more green vegetables with the main course would be nice.

Hi all, Went to the britannia inn on haslingdon old rd at the weekend, where they have a new carvery station and and head chef who I was served by the food was great and the all staff were very polite definitely worth a visit!

visited the Welcome Restaurant Food okay felt pressurised all through the meal being watched by three waitresses.Only part of bill written in English is the amount,order written in Chinese ,would be helpful if both languages were used.Unable to check bill properly! Won't visit again or recommend the place.

Lovely food lovely views delightful staff lovely open fires on a cold Saturday night in January and a real buzz of voices! Marvellous.

I found the set menu excellent value. The food was first class as was the service. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Went for friends party ! :) Gorgeous food and very beautifully decorated place Loved It !

Brill. Good choice and range of buffet, not expensive and very friendly staff. Highly recommended

The location of this restaurant is its only downfall, however please do not let this put you off as the food is excellent. My partner and I decided to try La Salsa as we both love tapas and am sure we will be returning soon. The attraction was the price if im honest which was £7.95 per person for as many tapas as you can eat between 3pm and 7pm, and sometimes this can reflect on the standard of the food. I have to say that the food was delicious, extremely fresh and tasty. We were able to order up to four tapas each at a time and we eventually had 12 between us which included bread and olives. The portion sizes were just enough to share between two and the atmosphere was lovely as the candle on our table was lit as we sat down. This restaurant is best suited to couples and groups who would like a light meal as a start to their night out!

Went to Truffles for my 40th birthday with my hubby and enjoyed every aspect of it. The decor and ambience are superb, not to mention the lighting (which changes colour) The food was delicious and presented beautifully. The staff were courteous and attentive. The prices are very reasonable and the choice extensive. Went on the first time it opened on Monday a Monday night and will definitely be returning. Fabulous! Cant wait to try a gourmet evening.

Saturday 17th January 2009 I took my girlfriend Cassy and her daughter Fran and boyfriend Dwain to Etna's for my birthday bash. I can only say the food and service were excellent and we will be paying another visit in the near future. The food was cooked to perfection, hot and well prepared. May I say thank you for making my birthday bash a night to remember. JJ

Known locally as 'The Corper', this eighteenth-century stone inn was once home to workers constructing the nearby reservoir for the Preston Waterworks Company. These days, it thrives as a pub/restaurant in the capable hands of two families. The comfortable interior remains atmospherically traditional, and there's a spacious beer garden with views of the Ribble Valley and the reservoir. The menu has its share of wholesome North Country standards including Bury black pudding with onion marmalade and poached egg, Lancashire hotpot and warm toffee apple crumble tart, but it also spreads its wings for Thai fishcakes, meatballs in tomato sauce with tortillas, and three-bean goulash. Also check out the list of more ambitious specials, which might include roast monkfish on buttered spinach with roasted red pepper sauce. The owners also run the Corper Deli on Longridge Market Place.

My wife and I have been going since it opened and have now been over 100 times. The staff, from the owner down are always very pleasant, friendly and efficient. The food is always excellent and the lager well kept. Absolutely brilliant, no faults at all.

Me and two friends ate here on January 16th 2009 and it was the best meal I have had anywhere near Chorley in years. I had hummus and pita bread to start, then the fillet steak stroganoff. Absolutely superb! The cocktails are lovely and reasonably priced (and potent!). The only down side is the service is not very attentive. Drinks took a while to arrive, and we had to ask twice to see a dessert menu (having to get up to find a waitress). But it WAS full, so they were doing their best. Cannot fault the food, lovely intimate atmosphere. Really lovely.

Amazing leek and potato soup hhhmmmm! in quaint rustic surroundings.

One of our favourite restaurants in the area : you can always rely on the quality of the food and the warmth of the welcome. A fantastic place.

My family and I are semi regular diners at San Marco and it is our restaurant of choice. We have only had one average meal there (everyone has an off night) the rest being rated as superb. Dining ambience, service, food and wines are just simply the best. We have to travel past two Italians to get there, but why would you go anywhere else. *****
