Reviews in Lancashire

Its amazing how the top 10 most searched for restaurants on sugarvine are either not advertising with them, (so I assume this list is a hook to get them to spend their pennies), or this list has websites designed by sugarvine. I have visited a number of the restaurants listed on this 'top 10'. If these are the most searched for places i will eat my hat. Absolutely awful, and this one is the worst - food tastes like its from the frozen section in Asda, and the front of house would be more at home at Chorley Circus. Can we have a new list with better restaurants please.

One of my favourite restaurants. Food always excellent, especially the garlic mushrooms and the lasagna. Great restaurant, gets busy Friday & Saturday so book for these nights! Would recommend to anyone.

had the giants Plate did not realise what G.P meant till i got the plate i had surf and turf, I counted how many pieces of scampi i had there was 26 on my plate including a big piece of steak chips mushrooms onion rings, peas and carrots i could not eat it all!!Great value for money and good food really extensive menu as well, would definitely go again..

Mine and my wifes favourite restaurant. You are made to feel very welcome from entering the restaurant to leaving. The food and service is first class. We have tried the whole range of curries and have never been let down. The bangladesh specials are very good. Also a good range of indian beers and even a indian malt whisky. Do not miss out on this great restaurant.

we went on sunday evening in a party of 6, it was very bright no candles very quite music, our waitress was young and inexperienced (kept removing dishes before finished with) we was given three dishes wrong, but staff didn't bother and was still charged for them, only one was offered to be replaced! we had four baskets of bread which came to £7.25, which we thought was pricey, considering most tapas we visit you pay for first two baskets, after reading other reviews maybe just went on wrong night? should we try again ???????????

Again problem with staffing, we were a large party but the service was unco-ordinated and we were overcharged. I think once staff training is complete and they concentrate on customer service things should hopefully improve. Stroganoff was great once it eventually arrived.

Visited here last Sunday in a party of 30, the service was excellent as always, ordered from the Sunday menu which was very good value for money. Once again top marks for the Fresco Fresco staff.

I've eaten here a few times and have always been impressed. The service & food are both very good.

The place looks great as it's recently been modernised and a conservatory area added to the front aspect. It's very bright, open and airy.The service however was very slow and it wasn't that busy as it was well after the lunch time rush when we decided to sit down to eat. We had to stand in a queue at the till to order and what a wait we had!!!We were served our drinks....bottled water and took our seats. Then we waited 15 mins. for two sandwiches and a plate of chips. The food was well cooked but average, chips, pies, sandwiches, toasties etc. The prices were too high, in our opinion.

Until recently we have been visiting Verdes for many years for a lot of reasons...consistent quality of food, consistent quality of service, reasonably priced and we only live 10-15mins drive away. Regulars will be familiar with the fact that late last year they extended the building to increase the indoor capacity (and they needed it) and to be honest this was a mistake. Since then they don't seem to be able to cope with the pressure of more tables because the food quality has gone down and because the place is really busy we are usually in and out within an hour or so. We haven't been for a few months since because we feel that the place has gone downhill in terms of food quality (last time we went the steak was really bad and the veg was cold) and service. It's a shame because a few years ago it was our favourite Italian restaurant in the area, and now it isn't our first choice for an Italian meal any more because the basics have gone out of the window. Because of this we won't be rushing back.

Delicious food, great service, professional outfit.

We have enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere of Etna for nearly 30 years. We now live in Canada but we always find time to visit when we go back to the UK. Dominic greets us like long lost friends & we always have stuffed mushrooms & lasagne & it's still the best we've tasted anywhere, especially washed down with the house red.

Quite a small establishment, very cosy. Have been a couple of times, ordered starters and main courses, mainly been satisfied. Not very private seating as tables are quite close together but the food is wonderful. The only thing we would of changed was the starter with mushrooms, mozzerella sticks and skins, it was very greasy and quite tasteless. The risotto is creamy and mourish, the cheese garlic bread is the best i have tasted. The calzone pizza was marvellous. The staff are helpful and even if dishes aren't exactly to your taste, they will change things to suit you, if available, ie i had a creamy sauce, even tho the dish stated tomato sauce.

Don't go to Bukhara expecting the usual Beer and curry night. They dont sell alcohol for a start. No big deal really when you consider the quality of food is fantastic. I'm a real foodie and have been several times and loved it every time. Originally recommended by an Indian friend, Bhukara tends to make more authentic Indian dishes. I guess the fact that the restaurant is usually largely populated by Indian families, points to the fact that they serve REAL Indian food. Trust me, try it and you'll never quite see the local Indian takeaway in the same light again. I would recommend their signature mango salad (spicy!) and try some Mango Lassi to boot. Mmmm, makes me want to have a curry just thinking about it.

I visited the Blue Elephant a few years back and wrote a review (02/10/2004) about the poor service i'd received twice. I have to say, I tried again on a friend's recommendation and this visit was much, much better good food, very nice ambience and good friendly service. Although, prices are a little on the expensive side.

Been to lots of Italian restaurants and this is one of the best. We went on a Saturday night and had a table booked for 8.45pm and had to wait half an hour but it wasn't a problem as the bar area is lovely - really comfy sofas and a good atmosphere. Very busy but the service was excellent. I had octopus salad to start and pasta for main and both were excellent. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will go back very soon. Beats Tiggis and Angelos by far. Menu was varied and lots of specials on offer. Price was average for an Italian, some people may say a bit on the expensive side but it was well worth it.

Excellent food !! we have been on a number of occasions and have never had a bad meal !!Lovely homemade chips and coleslaw

With great views, excellent food and fabulous decor this is a great choice for a romantic meal. One of my favourite places! Kimberley x.
