Reviews in Lancashire

Wonderful food from a Michelin starred restaurant. Who says it's grim up north?

I have visited this restaurant many times and have never been disappointed. The food is always of the highest quality, well presented and reasonably priced. The staff are attentive but not overbearing. The hidden treasure at the Orchard is the spectacular wine list, which has to be asked for. The range of wines is spectacular; some can be a bit pricey but, for the special occasion, you will have to go a long way to find better. If you have the money try a bottle of Amarone, a delicious heavy red wine (16%).

i have eaten twice here recently having passed the entrance on numerous occasions over the years without actually visiting.what a pleasant surprise was in store.it is without doubt one of the best italians around the area in many ways as the staff are friendly the wine list superb-we had a fantastic bottle of merlot for 14 pounds-and the food delightful.a traditional italian menu but with the added spice of some excellant specials such as deep fried brie or king prawn -and i mean king-with chilli and ginger.the views in summer will be beautiful and with a kiddies play area i am sure the place will be visited many times by me in the future.anybody who has not tried it must and do not think it is too far out from the fylde as it takes only 15 mins from blackpool on the motorway.

During my year living in Ormskirk we became regulars at a Passage to India. The food is great and the staff we very friendly and began to recognise us each time we went in and made us feel very welcome. Now I am back in Liverpool I visit as often as possible. It is Great!

Enjoyed a really good and wholesome meal in the conservatory here.The choice is excellent with something for all tastes. Well looked after by the staff in a friendly manner. Would recommend this meal and the run in the country to my friends which would make for a most enjoyable evening

The food is very good, I could hardly move last time I ate here. The place however, is simply beautiful, especially the grounds; I spent most of the afternoon watching squirrels playing on the lawn. I've only ever visited on business, but this is definitely an ideal setting for a wedding !
