Great for lunch, well priced with generous portions. Also been in the evening. The menu is varied, with a great specials board. Better than the usual pub fare, and better than the establishment run by the same . hotel chain in another part of Chorley Tends to be busy, but service good. Has an outside seating area adjacent to the canal, wonderful when the weather is pleasant.
The Malthouse Farm – ChorleyI came here years ago and hated it. It took a lot of persuading to get me back. The place this time however was superb; a proper country inn. The new owners were hilarious and genuinely friendly. Food excellent and the guest bedrooms beautiful. I'll be back very soon. Very impressed. This is a hidden gem but not for long.
The Red Pump Inn – ClitheroeArrived on time seated quickly. Excellent food, although service was a little slow. Pizza was great!!!
Italian Orchard – PrestonMy wife and I eat at the carvery at the Calf's Head quite regularly and have always found the food to be great and the staff very, very friendly. There are so many options for eating here whether in the formal restaurant as we did for the carvery or in the conservatory for bar meals or even the garden when the weather is good. The owners have worked their socks off since they took over and their endeavours deserve to be recognised for making this the magnificent place it is today.
Calfs Head – ClitheroeA wide choice of menu and fairly priced. The portions were ample and local produce used which was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be booking again. Excellent wine by the glass over the bar - not usual pub rubbish. Well worth a visit, but book early!!
The Red Pump Inn – ClitheroeAgree with previous....we went very early on a busy Sat evening. We were seated just in time. Then it filled up! Very clean, modern and airy surroundings. Fantastic tasty starters. Poppadums, sheesh kebabs and meat samosas. I had chicken tikka jalfreezi (could have been slightly spicier) My partner had chicken madras which she says was just fine. Saag aloo, garlic naan and pilau rice as sides. Rice perhaps a bit over spiced (too much saffron I thought) but thats too picky on what was a perfect dining experience. Had to call our own taxi afterwards, not sure why but that meant a 15min wait in the lobby. I'd rather have it ordered and come whilst we were still in the bar afterwards. Anyway...such small points to complaint about. If you can get there midweek when I'd imagine its less busy then it'd be perfect. PS we took a doggy bag which was a perfect Sunday snack! ;-)
Shajan – BlackburnThe food is always excellent.
Mamma Mia – Burnleybetter than average but nothing special
Raj Mahal – DarwenThe food was absolutely amazing. The service was very friendly and efficient. If you havent been you need to go. The place is brilliant
China Essence Restaurant – CarnforthGreat views, lovely decor and atmosphere. Food very good but could have been spicier (I ordered extra chillies). Lots of specialty mexican and spanish drinks to try. A good night out!
Wellsprings Inn Pendle Hill – ClitheroeReally nice straightforward Italian food in this small restaurant. Nice atmosphere over looking the duck pond and fountain in the middle of Ecclestone. Not outstanding, but nothing wrong with it either.
Verdes Restaurant – Chorleyrun of the mill Chinese pleasant enough but nothing special
Ocean Palace – Darwentakeaway standard food at takeaway prices.so you cant really complain .enjoyable enough considering the price.plus the owner harry always makes sure you are well looked after
Hings – Darwenthe food here is fantastic especially the starters a few different options than your average chinese .very friendly &competent staff.
Great Village – Blackburnvery good standard of food not the best i have had but certainly worth trying.excellent service
Akash – DarwenThe Topiary Restaurant is the best in the area, fresh local produce is used to make the meals which are cooked to perfection. There is plenty to choose from ranging from the owners own recipe sausages through to the more exotic choices for the adventurous diners. The prices are a little higher than in other restaurants around here but to be honest you do get what you pay for and here you get the best!! We can't wait to go again and again.
