Reviews in Lancaster

This is a lovely old pub with great food and a great atmosphere. For those of you with children it is child friendly and the kids meals are all home cooked and not your usual frozen rubbish. Highly recommended, gets busy though so reserve or get there early.

went on Tues 19th Feb at around 10pm, not a soul in the place, bearing in mind it was a Tuesday evening. They could have easily turned us away, but what to the contrary they couldn't have been more welcoming. Excellent service and excellent food at a reasonable price, couldnt fault anything, a great experience, definitely to be repeated.

I first went to Etna as a student in 1979 and now, 29 years later I am still going there and still enjoying the food. This place is authentic, cheerful, friendly, reasonably priced and above all consistent. Excellent pizza with the traditional Sicilian thin crust, really good chicken and pasta, superb stuffed mushrooms and excellent desserts (some of which are homemade) Good choice of wine and the owner (Dominic) is a real character and an excellent host. Hope to be eating here for many years to come!!

This pub is definitely worth a visit. I contacted the bar via e-mail as we were spending a few days in the Lancaster area. The reply was prompt and courteous. When we arrived at the pub the next week our table was reserved for us and the food was wonderful. Perfect pub meals: hot, fresh and plentiful. The service was great and we were so full after a starter and a main course that we couldn't look at the great range of desserts. We'll be back.

The food at The Greyhound is absolutely delicious! We visited on a Sunday (no roast but we didn't go for that anyway). I had the homemade chicken and mushroom pie which was the best I have ever tasted and my husband had the cheese and onion pie - again delicious. My 4 year old also enjoyed his fresh mini fish and chips. It was great to see a childs menu with all fresh food - no chicken nuggets in sight! Only wish we lived nearer - I'd be there every day for a meal!

Back in August 2007 we held our wedding reception at the Pudding house. Everyone was very helpful and accommodating whilst organising the day and the day itself went without a hitch. The food was excellent and all our guests commented on how wonderful the food was,we were amazed at the consistency with all the dishes that were sent out, an achievement when dealing with large numbers. Our Favours were also supplied by the Pudding House in the form of their own handmade chocolates which were out of this world. I was a beautiful setting for a reception and the team at the pudding house were amazing. Thank you to all who made it possible. Our apologies for not writing sooner. The Pudding house is well worth a visit for any occasion even just for a fantastic ice cream!!

Had the most wonderful meal. From start to finish, the food was excellent. The restaurant is beautiful and the service was very good. The staff are so friendly and can't do enough for you. Will definitely be back.

went here for an evening meal as we had heard the day chef had franchised the building to operate as a restaurant in the evening, sorely disappointed, food was crap, cold and insipid, if the chef spent less time chasing the waitress and more time on the food !!! never to go here again EVER !!!!

I seriously recommend not to eat here. The first time we went was within it's first week of opening and the service was terrible. The food was not much better! We thought they might be suffering with teething problems as it was a new place so gave it another chance a few weeks later. This time I had sausage and mustard mash and paid £9.50 for it. It was not good, in fact it was disgusting! The sausages were lamb & mint but tasted of nothing and the mashed potato was cold with uncooked lumps of potato in it plus tasted like vinegar not mustard. Weird! It really does ruin you meal when you know you can make it much better yourself at home and far cheaper. I'd rather do that and wash up than eat here again. You need to make more of an effort im afraid!

It is a lovely restaurant but I have been 5 or so times and I always feel the service is poor. When they brought out the wrong main meal instead of "sorry sir we shall correct it but it may be 10 minutes" we were told "no that is what you ordered" and they refused to bring the correct dish. We only now eat here when we cannot get in at the Fortune Star.

The best Chinese in Lancaster. The food is excellent and the service is the best around. I admit the restaurant isn't the most pleasing to the eye and it can be quite loud as it is a small value, but it is fantastic for a group and still great for a couple.

I love the place. It is very quiet, even on a weekend, so the service is very good and they can take their time to get the food right. If you want an atmosphere with a buzz then go elsewhere but if you want excellent food with good service and a quiet night out then this is ideal.

Great Sunday dinner.

Just to let you know I enjoyed a first class meal at Penny Street Bridge in Lancaster recently. The staff were great, friendly and well informed about the choices available from the menu.Better still they have fantastic bedrooms upstairs. What a place

I have eaten here several times and I love the atmosphere of the place. Service is quite relaxed and maybe a little slow but it is by no means bad. The menu is a little limited but the food is fairly good.

The surroundings are very nice and inviting. However the restaurant is let down by a limited menu and extremely slow service. Although the food was good we waited just over one and a half hours to get our mains.

The restaurant was a lot larger than i expected and same can be said of the menu. The friendly staff were on hand to help and the service was outstanding. Although the staff were extremely busy, they still managed to make us feel welcome. I would recommend booking, as the place is popular and always seems to be full. I will be returning soon to try something new.

The thing that makes this restaurant is the charismatic owner. He is not only the genial host but oversees the kitchen too. He is passionate about Sicilian food and drink. It was very interesting to see his collection of herbs collected from the mountain by his summer house in Sicily. His wine cellar was a labour of love too! I had a gorgeous dish of aubergine, ham, and mozzarella with an unusual sicilan pasta. I guess the proof of the quality of Etna is the fact that its the oldest restaurant in Lancaster opening its doors in 1975 and still with the same man at the helm!! A must when in town.
