We visited on a Monday evening and the car park was very full. Service was efficient with a good selection of beers & wines. The food was very good. Fish Pie is excellent. A great place to enjoy a relaxed meal in pleasant surroundings.
The Highwayman – Kirkby LonsdaleJust returned from our latest visit and thought it was time to share this goldmine that Chorley has! From the exquisite food, friendly staff, fantastic ambience and exceptional value; this place is unrivalled in the area!!! Highly recommend a visit.
Seasons – Chorleyhad not been in for a few years and we were very impressed and now consider ourselves regulars . well recommended
Windmill Hotel – Blackburna pleasant warm family orientated public house well equipped children? indoor play area and good quality pub food a must for families
The Cross Keys – LancasterAgra was good
Agra Indian Restaurant – BurnleyThe Sparrowhawk hits the mark for me. Great cask beers, superb friendly service, good food with a great feel to the place. Double edged sword this review because it's already difficult to get a table on a Friday night now!
The Sparrowhawk – BurnleyWe visited the Spanish Tapas restaurant, the Casa Tapas tonight, Sunday 22April 2007. The place was beautiful. The menu was varied, the food well cooked and presented. We also found the staff pleasant and eager to please. Finally, the restaurant was a joy to be eat in and to relax in. Thank you, we'll be going back again.
Casa Tapas – RawtenstallWe've been a few times now. The restaurant is small but this helps create a good atmosphere. The service is always good and the staff are helpful. The food is quite varied but of good quality for the price especially during the week.
Seasons – ChorleyI am really impressed with everything about this nice place.. everything was excellent, the food, service, the welcoming attitude of the staff including the chef. what has really impressed me was the presentation of the dishes, superb! care was taken with every other detail, the dim lights, the jazzy comforting music. I was very proud when I felt my guests were so pleased.
Truffles – ChorleyMy wife and I came last Sunday evening at 8pm. Found difficulty in parking - parked next door! Restaurant noisy - if you like it like that; but friendly waiters(also noisy!). Food was fine, and the service was ok without being over attentive. House wine was quite drinkable and reasonably priced. Other wines cost quite a bit more.
Fresco Fresco – LeylandWe have been regulars for some time, and the atmosphere is great. I even proposed to my wife there. You do have to wait a while when its busy, but a lot of Italians do this, and I think that it adds to the atmosphere, especially if you drink whilst waiting..! If you don't want to wait, I suggest you go mid week or on a hot, sunny Saturday night when people are having Barbeques. That way you can walk straight to a table if you want. The food is really excellent. Spaghetti Amatriciana at 8 quid is a favourite, as is the Pate starter, and the prices are generally cheap considering its good quality. However, if you fancy a blow out, there's loads of fuller meals to tempt you. I agree that the tables / decor is a bit dated, but I think that this also adds to the old tratoria charm. We went to Sorrento last year, and I never say a plush "next style" leather backed chair / poncy chrome all the time I was there...? All in all, its probably the nearest that you are likely to get to a traditional Italian restaurant in the Blackburn / Preston area. You may think this is a bold statement, but we have tried a lot of Italians around the Blackburn area, i.e. Francos in ossy and Langho, The Scicilian place near the walton arms (just off the M65), Amico Mios in Clitheroe, That place in Bamber Bridge? These are all very good restaurants, but Checcos really does have an edge. The staff are also almost all Italian, and if you fancy it, they even help you with the Lingo....? So that I give a balanced view, the slightly less positive sides are that they no longer do cheap Caraffes of Wine, for those budget nights, so you have to go for the real stuff, but this is only standard price, i.e. 12 quid upwards. There specials are also very static if you go a lot (as we do), but if its your first trip, then I suppose they'll still be special to you. I have heard that they are soon to revamp the waiting area soon, so hopefully, this will sort the decor for those who like a sparkle when they go out. Hopefully, it won't lose its charm though... Enjoy..!
Checcos – BlackburnBeen going for about 3 years now and everytime been just as good. Great food & service and not to badly priced either. Fantastic vegetarian options too. Garlic mushrooms and profiteroles are to die for, if you like pizza try Calzone they are massive. Fantastic place, best Italian ive been too.
Mamma Mia – BurnleyThe mid-week table d'hote menu is excellent value with a good choice, including wine. If you prefer a much wider choice then the a' la carte menu is superb with very generous portions. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Booking recommended especially at peak times.
The Pack Belthorn – BlackburnI loved the atmosphere in this very high stylish very up to date modern restaurant. All the staff are very friendly and make you feel right at home. I love the ambience and the food is to die for I have been on numerous occasions and have never yet been disappointed in anything ive chosen to eat the food is great and so is the service give it a try I? sure you?l love it
Agra Indian Restaurant – Burnleyexcellent as usual!
Italian Orchard – PrestonMy wife and i have been going to ninos for the last 15 years, maybe twice a year, infact i proposed to my wife at ninos, the food at that time was superb, sadly the last 2 times we have been there my fillet steak has been a bit on the tough side, to there credit they didn? charge me for my steak, however i did wonder if as they have expanded have they started to get a bit complacent regarding the quality of there produce. Anyway August the 11th is my wife? 50th and we will be going there with a party of friends so i will see if things have changed. martin and Tricia King.
Nino’s Rawtenstall – RawtenstallOnce you have had a taste of the Spanish cuisine at the casa tapas you will never want to go any where else. BRILLIANT PLACE!
