Reviews in Lancaster

I pop into the plough on a regular basis, and every time I go the food is brilliant! Staff are always friendly and the value for money is unbelievable. If you like big hearty food, this is the place to go!!

I will certainly be visiting this restaurant again. The food is delicious excellent choice in both food and wine, the decor is impeccable and the view stunning. Very friendly and efficient service cant wait to visit again soon!!!!

Excellent vibrant little coffee shop tucked away down Bashful alley near the castle in the centre of Lancaster. Good selection of mains and snacks, prices were very reasonable. Although bustling, service was quick and polite. Mixed youngish crowd. Highly recommended.

I went there a few weeks ago on the recommendation by a friend. Went with my partner, and had a starter, main meal and a bottle of wine! The wine menu was extensive, with a great choice. The food was out of this world. I think Lancaster is quite limited in great places to eat, but QSF I think will become one of our regular haunts. It was small but cosy - that said, we went mid week, I would imagine it being too cosy at the weekend. The service was excellent, the food was a little slow at coming to the table, as someone has already stated, but then, food should be cooked with care and attention, not rushed. Can't wait to return!

I do make at least one annual pilgrimage up to Lancaster just to visit this culinary heaven and treat myself to a yearly feast of sensory magic. I missed last years visit due to illness - probably brought on by the lack of a decent curry locally! Yes it`s a 60+ mile round trip up to here, but worth every litre

We are always treated well at Marcos. The food is great, the staff are friendly, what more could you want?

An impromptu visit. Glad we did. Exceptionally friendly staff and a good selection of food. Service was prompt and efficient. The food was excellent. The South African specials are an unusual feature worth exploring. Excellent value - well worth the trip out. Will definitely go again.

Very, very ordinary. A Gordon Ramsey check--out is needed here. Garlic bread too soft. Pasta overcooked and completely covered with a basic sauce. The soup was over-laden with a vinegar taste. Tony piece of monk fish at a high price. Very naff condiments on the table. Had to ask for parmesan cheese! Waiters very pleasant but untrained. No surprise the restaurant was almost empty on a Friday evening. The management needs a wake-up call.

Etnas holds a special place in our hearts - we had our first real date here - we always enjoy visiting, the staff are 1st class professionals without being too over the top - the owner is a true delight always willing to chat to all the customers! - The food is the ultimate delight and is always consistent as well as fairly priced. To recommend a dish isn't too difficult - Lemon Chicken everytime. Incidentally we now visit at least once a month - its a shame they can't cater for our wedding!

Discovered Etna on Saturday evening during a visit to Lancaster. To call it Pizza/Pasta is to undersell this place - yes the pasta was great, but it really is a proper Italian Restaurant with a full menu of what, going by our experience, is excellent, top quality, meat/fish/pasta etc, cooked to the highest standard. The best Italian food I've had in years - topped by a great atmosphere and a very convivial host. Reasonable prices, good wine list etc - I only wish they were in London where live - I'd be there every week.

Haven`t been here for some time and this made our visit all the more special. What a treat, superb in every way.

Visited the Stork Inn this afternoon, It was a perfect spring afternoon, Drove from Blackpool through some of Lancashires most beautiful countryside with the hood down. On arriving we found a table in the restaurant/bar area. It had a varied menu with good vegetarian options. There was also a specials menu and it offers good choice for families as most dishes have half size price options with them, great for kids or for grazing. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We stayed for 2 hours rather than the planned 1 hour stop! This place was recommended by tourism professionals who told us this place was a little different. THINGS I LIKED- -Friendly staff and family run. (felt like a local after 10 mins!) -Traditional style country pub -Prompt and attentive service -An excellent varied menu with veg and family options. -Unique South African traditional cuisine -All food prepared and cooked on the premises Inc awesome sweets. THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE- -I had to go home! OVERVIEW- -This place is one to watch, I was told that they are planning BBQ's and have lots of ideas to keep customers interest.

I will start firstly by saying what a pleasant dining experience I had on my first visit to the Stork Inn, I went early yesterday afternoon expecting to wait for my meal but to my delight It took 10 minutes at most for my food to arrive, I had a curry and it was perfect and at a very competitive price! They had a wonderful array of local ales available which I felt obliged to supple!. The service was exquisite and prompt. There was a bit of lark behind the bar but it's expected when hiring young beautiful waitresses. The young stud who served me my food was a lovely young man named Robert who was anything but shy, he added to what was a lovely afternoon. I will most certainly be making my way to the Stork Inn, in the near future and hope it will continue to be a most pleasurable experience!

My wife and I have been enjoying terrific food at the Kingfisher for years. Chef owner Mike Thomson delivers a consistently good product along with his wife Anne who runs a very efficient front of house operation. You’ll get top class ingredients cooked to perfection - last week we enjoyed a starter of Breakfast salad - smoked bacon, local black pudding & sautéed new potatoes on dressed leaves & finished with a soft poached egg - it was absolutely delicious. For main course my wife had delicious Grilled Plaice (almost out of the bay onto your plate) and I enjoyed the Fish Pie ( full of a selection of white fish, salmon and prawns). There is always a nice selection of fresh vegetables, new potatoes and do try the wonderful chips. We didn’t have room for a sweet last week but they are always very good. There is a very reasonably priced wine list too. As if this isn’t enough for a good night (or lunch) out you have a very modern bright and airy split level restaurant with picture windows taking full advantage of the fantastic views over the estuary to Grange and the Lakeland hills. Take a look at the web site for up to date menus and some nice photos of the restaurant. It really is well worth the trip I promise you and one final tip, if you plan to visit at weekend book ahead.

Great atmosphere, delicious paninis (chicken tikka & pizza are a must-try!!), free wifi, and bean bag seats! The friendly staff always come up with the perfect drink for every mood; from nutella hot chocolate, to a muffin shake; a white mocha, to a kiwi-kiss smoothie !! Simply Amazing !!

Awful, truly the worst dish ever. We came in slightly earlier than planned and volunteered to sit anywhere that was convenient. The waiter growled at my wife and I. After this, we were then served a cardboard part-frozen pizza complete with cold chips...obviously everything had been taken from the freezer and quickly microwaved. The service throughout was snotty, slow and depressing. We paid the bill (which was extortionate) and have commited ourselves to never walking through the front door again. This used to be such a great place to dine, what has happened over the last year? Bad service, rancid food and just awful.

In the midst of this credit crunch this place is packed! that tells you something, it must be good. people are going out less and only going places that offer a great product at this time. I had a great lunch and will be going back!

Hello Readers, I must say I had a delightful experience at the Stork Inn, The food was divine and the service sublime. Although If I had slight misfortune it was meeting a young member of staff at the bar, I tried ordering a round of drinks and he blatantly ignored me, I asked to see the manager and I was told to f**k off, I asked a waitress his name and was told it was Rob Jacques, however, I wasn't about to allow one bad member deter my attention away from the extravagant meal I was about to embark upon. What a lovely experience I will surely visit again.
