Reviews in Poulton-Le-Fylde

I was working in the local area and discovered this lovely friendly cafe. The service was excellent and I highly recommend their homemade soup. I treated myself to some chocolate fudge cake too. Absolutely delicious! Will definitely go again.

Spent a happy hour browsing around this shop and bought a very beautiful wedding gift. Finished off with an afternoon tea - the scone and clotted cream was to die for.

Works night out, Saturday night, we turned up with an extra diner (!) and although it was absolutely packed , we were accommodated with a different table, no problem. Gave us a chance to enjoy another glass or two of red! Great food, great staff, great atmosphere, can't fault it.

Last time that I will EVER come here again! The owner & staff are consistently rude & the food is just OK. A party of 9 of us came to eat on Friday night for a retirement do. Had originally booked for 12 but changed it to 8 as some people cancelled. As it was 9 turned up, ONE extra person & the owner went mad! Swinging his arms about, shouting No! No! Nine's too many! You said 8! Shouting that he could not possibly fit an extra person in! We thought he was joking at first but when we realised he was serious (!) we decided to leave & find somewhere else to eat in Poulton as it is not lacking in nice restaurants but our party had already ordered 2 bottles of champagne whilst waiting for the table & we hadn't finished these. One of the waiters managed to eventually fit another chair round the table (it wasn't that hard!) while the owner was still creating a scene! Of course the atmosphere was shattered so we kept drinking to a minimum after that, not wishing to spend our money there. After the meal, the waiters brought the dessert menu round, we considered it but all declined, at that he said "Well you've got 10 minutes to leave then as we've got another party coming in that needs the table"! What would he have done if we HAD wanted a dessert? Put them in doggy bags for us while we left?! A few of our party asked for coffee & although this was not refused, the waiter was clearly exasperated & there was a lot of puffing & eye-rolling! This is not the first time the staff & owners have been rude there but the 3 previous times it was 'bordering' on the funny/ludicrous (such as the time we asked for pepper from a pepper meal to be told by the owner that he didn't have one as this was 'old-fashioned' & instead he promptly unscrewed the pepper shaker on the table & sprinkled some on my friend's meal with his bare fingers!) but this time it was just rude. From what I could see the people waiting to 'fill the place' were all teenagers who obviously had been tempted in by the half-price menu, for a cheap pizza before they spent their money in the neighbouring clubs. I believe this restaurant is quiet during the week, with service like this I wonder why...... Never again!

Tried Espanol for the first time last night, and will definitely be returning. Tapas was excellent with a great variety of fresh dishes to suit everyone. Though busy, the service was good and you didn't feel rushed. A brilliant evening, will try the Paella next time! Wish this restaurant every success.

The best Thai in Blackpool!!!! Can't fault the food excellent and great value for money with early bird. Fantastic food nice restaurant would highly recommend!!

went last night (21/04/12) in a party of 12 ,this was my 3rd and last visit .in future i will stick to the best Indian restaurant by a country mile ,MAYA on tithe barn st poulton ,the decor might not be as new as the lemon tree,but the food and the service can,t be beaten

What a breath of fresh air Espanol is, authentic Spanish cuisine has arrived in Poulton! Such a great atmosphere, the staff are so warm and friendly, every Tapas dish we had was delicious and tasted so fresh and the house red (imported from Spain apparently) was one of the best Rioja's I've had and at such a great price. Can't wait to go back and try the Paella!

Went to Espanol on day 2 after it opened. What a brilliant atmosphere the new owners have created.Food piping hot and delicious.Really recommend the Tapas Wish this new venture every success and we will definitely be returning. Cheers

Looking forward to visiting on Saturday

Cannot fault this restaurant. Amazing food, fantastic service and great value for money!will be visiting again.

Best Indian food on the fylde coast. Fact!

Food was excellent however, the initial service in the bar was terrible, we were told to expect a half an hour wait which we were okay with so ordered our drinks along with informing the waiter of our name which she wrote down with our order of drinks. 45 minutes later and still no drinks even after enquiring twice about them; turned out that the waiter had forgotten our order even after writing it down. Other people coming into the bar after us were served along time before us and some were even seated before we finally got our drinks. Really unhappy with initial service which is a shame as the food was fantastic. Very doubtful we will be visiting again because of the service in the bar!

Was I just unlucky? - I read the reviews which all appeared to be good, so ordered a takeaway on Sunday 4th March 2012 at 7.30, was told it would not be ready until 8.30 (and hours wait) - but decided to go ahead and asked for it to be delivered. It arrived at 8.45 and was just 'lukewarm' - We started with salt and chilli ribs which were very bland and dry plus the pork toast was soggy cold and tasted of very little. For the main course we ordered sweet and sour chicken (not brilliant) Red Thai chicken curry which was excellent, but the duck with garlic and pepper was very disappointing - two lots of rice and one of noodles, the bill came to £27.25 (including delivery of £1.50) which i thought was expensive for what we got - all in all not a good experience

Had our first meal at this great place.. Beautiful, although have to say felt rushed and was asked to move after finishing our meals. Wanted to stay and drink more wine but seating could not allow us... Shame..

Had first meal at Pulchi last night, I loved the food, the seafood pasta was delicious. Will definitely be returning for more. I loved the ambiance of the place too.

food was ok,but this is not a Cyprus kebab no where near and reason being is the owners are not Cypriot ,they are Turkish cypriot,total different food .
