Reviews in Lancashire

Superbly prepared and presented, tender fresh meat and no-frills side dishes, everything a good English restaurant should be. Interesting environment, slap bang in the middle of a working farm, everything about Hunters, from place settings to menu, reflects the very obvious love and devotion to good food of it's personable chef Mark Pennington. A relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable evening in an unpretentious and down to earth atmosphere.

Highly recommended---delicious food presented beautifully and with love and care and pride. Friendly atmosphere and good music in the background adds to the general ambience. Interesting understated subtle decor. Original wooden flooring, tasteful furniture, silverware and dinner service. Smoke-free atmosphere. Romantic setting for a special occasion in the evening.

Hey Giovanni, Laura and the rest of my family if you come on this website. Fresco Fresco is the best restaurant on the planet and it is owned by my uncle. Can wait to see you all Love you loads Nadia Iozzi xxxx

I was invited to the launch of Huntleys At Night and travelled from Yorkshire to attend. The menu made it difficult for me to choose--the 5 people in our party all had something different--every meal was at the standard I have come to expect from Mark Pennington. I am returning soon with friends to sample the new menu--spoilt for choice!

I have tried many restaurants around the country and would like to think I know a good curry!! Sukhis rates very highly 5* for food service and friendliness, we were served personally by Sukhi k himself, we were also invited to have a drink after the meal with Sukhi and his son who works behind the bar and takes orders. I visited Sukhis on a Wednesday night with my wife 6 yr old son and 2 1/2 yr old daughter, we all had curry?, I had the special mix jalfrezi, wife had chick tikka massala and son had Korai all very nice will definitely eat there again

Tantalising food, great to hear the kitchen at work! Young South African waiter a great asset! very fine wine. Nigel most certainly deserved the lifetime achievement award. congrats!!!!!!!!

I spent Mothers Day at this restaurant, usually when you go out on mothers day it is a very rushed poor quality affair not so with this restaurant!. I had the best Mothers Day ever in this restaurant. Service was Fabulous, not hurried at all, food was superb, the Prawns in Filo with Alioli was divine as was the calamari my children chose. I had Gnocchi for main which was to die for! My children chose filleto de Bianco, which was the tenderest steak imaginable. Desserts were all home made and wine list was very reasonable. Will be returning soon!

BRILLIANT!

Excellent food, excellent Chef, John is a great host as well, we so enjoyed our holiday in the Lakes and we will be back.

I have visited here twice now, in November and more recently in February and the food was excellent and French inspired. The service was knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. I went with my husband and at 32 we were the youngest in there by a long way. This may be because it is a long way out on a winters evening or that there is a very delicious and reasonably priced set menu, as well as an a la carte. I can't speak for the wine as I was driving, the only downside. But my husband described his rioja as 'superb'. Apparently it is in a really lovely stetting but as both times we have arrived after dark, so we will have to go again, as the nights draw out.

These guys are very polite and kind when you?e there or on the phone and their prices are unbeatable. Also there food is unbeatable and this place is a absolute must you should go inside and check the restaurant out, the place is beautiful. They have meals for families which I took yesterday it was unbelievable the first time I tried a southern fried chicken meal that was at a inexpensive price and the chicken was so delicious I ordered another meal today all the family ate it and they all enjoyed the meal. KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ninos is simply the best Italian in Lancashire

there food is best in town, im telling anyone who reads this to go to the balti house and have a try because you would love what they have on the menu they have a variety of food such as curries, pizzas, kebabs, burgers, fried chicken etc. as i went in i looked at the menu and i were looking for a curry and a pizza I never knew what to get and as i were going down the pizza menu it said curry pizza I couldn? believe it i asked for a chicken tikka massala pizza which was outstanding and I tell anyone to go and give them a try.

If you are looking for that meal that is just special whether it is a special occasion or whether it is just something different this is the place to go. Very friendly ran eatery and worth every penny. The wine list is spectacular as is the food. The steak was cooked to perfection and it leaves you satisfied knowing that you have had a delicious meal. There is local car parking although the restaurant does not have any specifically. It is well worth the drive from wherever you are.

food was to the highest standard, prompt service in a very relaxing and comfortable restaurant. i would have no hesitation in recommending and have done so to friends, a very pleasant place to dine in Carnforth.

Mothers day triumph My future mother in law dropped in subtle hints as to where she wanted taking out on mothers day, thus we came to the Whitehall hotel. Upon enquiring about the menu I was pleasantly surprised as to the standard of food on offer and even more impressed with the price. Upon arriving at the hotel we were greeted by the manager and escorted to the lounge where we were seated on very comfy 'chesterfields' in front of a roaring fire. The wine waiter then came over with a glass of bucks fizz and canapes. Shortly followed by the manager with the menu and wine list. At this point i really began to relax confident that the day was going to be a success. I went for the smoked salmon and crab salad followed by roast leg of lamb stuffed with garlic and rosemary. My partner went for the goats cheese fritter and roast topside of beef with yorkshire pudding. Mum went for cream of celeriac soup and seared salmon. The wine list on offer was comprehensive and well thought out and extremely fairly priced. After much deliberation i went for a bottle of Australian chardonnay. The head waiter then came to escort us to our seats, on first impressions the hotel looks homely and well kept but is very deceiving on size as the room into which we were being escorted was huge, obviously their banqueting hall. There must have been 100 people there. The wine arrived chilled, the food was very tasty. My starters was delicious and my companions commented on the tastiness of theirs. Main course arrived piping hot the lamb seemed to just melt in my mouth, the vegetables also very tasty and cooked to perfection. Feeling very full and not much of a desserts man i just could not resist the white chocolate and raspberry creme brulee. My partner opted for the Baileys parfait, her mum the fresh strawberry pavlova. Followed by freshly brewed coffee and mints. Overall i thought the food delightful, the staff attentive and the building delightful. The whole ambiance was settling, there seemed to be a calm but purposeful air about the place. I even forgot about the match. Excellent.... i will definitely be returning if Sunday lunch was this good i can not wait to try the dinner menu. Whitehall.... i will be back.

Great menu, great food, fantastic service - what more could you want !

I would like to take this opportunity of being able to congratulate Sukui & staff on such a great restaurant. I am a Darwen girl living in South Australia. Whilst on holiday 2001 my nephew Joshua McFarlane took my husband & I to Sukhis. I must admit i was pleasantly surprise, from walking into the restaurant & being greeted by the warm & friendly staff ,being able to sit & relax with a drink whilst trying to choose from the menu ( that was the hardest part ). To my surprise Sukhi came to our rescue & talked us thought our likes & dislikes.( I did not know at the time he was the owner) The rest is history we have been back to Darwen 2004,& twice in 2005 and each time we have been to Sukhi.s several times. We have yet to find a comparable one here in Adelaide South Australia
