im very fussy about food but the bilash is fab, great food great service, you have to try it.

Great ambience a certainly a warm welcome from the friendly manageress and staff. This is a newly refurbished village pub which retains most of it's original features as befits a coaching house of it's period. The food was somewhat disappointing however, half an hour wait for very simple starters wasn't really worth it - given that they all arrived in stages making several of us wait before starting to eat. Then we found one of the dishes was partially frozen, luckily we had swapped it with my husbands fishcake otherwise my toddler would have eaten a frozen spring roll. The mains quickly followed but the steaks were so overcooked that they had shrunk and some dish ingredients had been confused with different meals. Decided to have dessert and coffee at home. I think it prudent to wait to eat there until the food service operation can be improved.

best food around ,,great place

I wish I could recommend this restaurant, but unfortunately we never got as far as sampling the food. When the first course arrived, one of the dishes was not what we had ordered. When we pointed this out to the server, rather than apologising for the mistake, he insisted that I had, in fact, ordered what he had brought. There followed a rather heated discussion, during which no attempt was made by the server to rectify his mistake. Consequently, we asked for a full refund, which, after three further mistakes, we received, and we took our leave. There is no way that I would recommend that anyone visit an establishment staffed by such ill mannered people!

I went to The Town Bar on 24.03.09. It was absolutely lovely! They have had a refurbishment & it's so much cleaner & more relaxing. The food was amazing & the service was too. The coffee not the best I've had but it has much improved.

Good food, well served in good surroundings. Good deal at lunch time (£5.95 for pizza or pasta)

Great food, very nice decor, and a great service. Taz and his colleagues are always recommending good dishes to taste. We have recommended this restaurant to all our family/friends. Try it!!

I really wanted to try Zouk had heard so many great things and read so many fantastic reviews. So me and my friends booked a table and what a great night we had! from the handis to the biryani everything was perfect, we received excellent service from the friendly staff. we had heard so much about the deserts i tried the mango cheesecake and the profiteroles, seriously they were just too good. Zouk definitely deserves all the great reviews its getting and i'd give them 10/10 without a doubt!!! way better than Akbars and eastzeast!!

We were disappointed with our food at this restaurant. I was expecting much better. The soup starter was very good indeed and served piping hot but the mains were below par. I had a rib eye steak which was a bit tough and tasted pan burnt. The jus that was with it tasted the same. My friends mixed grill was average aswell. How can you get chips wrong? They too tasted burnt, not overdone, but the oil must have been old. I noticed other diners' chips were the same. The brandy coffee was cold and I actually took it back into the kitchen. My veggie friend though said her food was very good. The pudding choice was not great so we skipped it.

just had a meal on mother day and the food was like very high quality and had a reasonable price. and after the meal they give us a free Amaranth, and i ask one of there waiter they said they give it free every sunday. i very happy and i will come back again. what about you? try once your life, you will enjoy it! buraq in Ashton-in-Makerfield it is the best Indian restaurant to eat.

Went on a Sunday afternoon and had a great meal, everything well cooked, presented and good value - £9.95 for 2 courses. Staff were very attentive and made us feel welcome. Would definitely go back. Excellent.

love it here- such a great crowd and on a weekend and love the Thursday live music. Had a few really good nights in here! Food great, simple, lancashire tapas- very yummy.

Went to Desi Lounge on Valentine's day, had a really nice evening. It's one of the best restaurants I have been to for ambiance, the service was good and most of all the food was fantastic! Definitely recommended!

We went to Sanminis on Saturday night after having a taster at the Civic Hall in Rams bottom. It is the best Indian food I have ever tasted. The flavours and presentation of the food were incredible. The service was excellent. The menu was explained to us in detail by the owners. The food was cooked to order. I cannot wait to go back. The only problem now is I will be so disappointed with other Indian meals that it will have to be Sanminis all the time but then I want to taste all the menu.

I sent this email recently, I feel it speaks for itself - Dear Sir or Madam, I recently attended a hen night that had been booked in your restaurant and was very disappointed by the service we received. Firstly the booking was split across 2 tables and we were told this was policy but we had not been told this on booking. When we queried this we were told we could be on the same table when the people at the next table left. We were also told there was no point as the people put on the table would be as far away as if they were on the separate table. We insisted and we were put together. The orders were taken and the starters were then brought and some were incorrect. The waiter then tried to bully members of the group into eating the wrong order by saying “you ordered this” and “you will eat this”. Some people did cave in to the bullying. Some members of the group wanted to pay for their wine separately and had to ask 4 times for the bill to be brought. This was obviously such a problem because if the wine was not on the bill the service charge would be lower. The mains were brought and they were correct but the sides were not or were brought after the food had been half eaten. The service was so poor that we did not even stay for desserts or coffees. To then put a service charge of 10% (£36.20) on the bill is disgusting. Obviously, the renowned restaurant we had understood we were booking is only if you are famous, or in a party of less than 4. I had been hoping that the experience would have been enjoyable as I will be booking a hen night for next year and this restaurant was mentioned in the planning. I certainly shall not be doing now as the hen was disappointed and upset and still upset the next morning. Kind regards, Lucy McDonald.

recently visited and cannot fault in the slightest very welcoming family environment, excellent quality and value for money have booked again twice in the near future

the food here is divine its a real good price and it s a quick delivery well to the local area.the pizza s are superb and their open till late... enjoy xx
