Reviews in Poulton-Le-Fylde

i went with 3 friends on a Tuesday night for a works meal and i enjoyed my visit to this restaurant ....the food was great and the atmosphere of the place felt good. the service of the two young waiters was grand !-it was nice to see people enjoying there job ! - this place was top-notch !

We took 22 people for a Christmas celebration. The food was acceptable, although not a gourmet experience, however at the price of £17-50 per head very acceptable. We were seated in the private room upstairs which seemed to cause problems with the speed of service. By the time the vegetables for the main course had arrived many peoples food was cold. Drinks service for the room was poor. We ordered two glasses of red and a pint of lager - one glass of red and the lager arrived - ten minutes later the other glass of red had not arrived. On going to the bar to ask where it was I was greeted by the Chef/Patron Mr Tolley who was in his whites lounging at the bar. On stating that the bar service was poor he told me, 'we're doing our best'. When I told him that his best was obviously not good enough he suggested that I 'shove it, sideways'. I would find it impossible to recommend this restaurant to anyone, and would suggest to Mr Tolley that he should take a course in 'Customer Care' at the first opportunity.

even though i did enjoy my choice of meal i found it most expensive compared to tesco cafe. i did not enjoy my drinks as the service was poor. i am not taking my wife there again.

When we walked in i thought it was good to see a few people knocking about on a Monday night. I took my wife for her birthday, she ordered goats cheese and i had duck confit both starters were excellent. The main courses however were a bit of a let down, whilst my steak was cooked perfectly it was drowning in the sauce and the wifes chicken was under that sauce somewhere but they were tasty. The pinot grigio was well chilled and a rather splendid drop. We didnt order dessert but Gennar brought one with a candle in it for wife, nice touch. All in all it was a good evening and that balancing menus on noses had me amused. Will I go back? Yes, of course especially with the little ones once they start opening at lunch times.

4 of us went for a meal today. Service and food was good. The salad I'm told was boring, but everyone's mains were fine, and the restaurant looks great, and isn't smoky anymore. I will be going back.

We eat out a lot and this is probably the best Italian restaurant in Poulton if not on the Fylde Coast. The food and service is excellent, the fillet steaks are fantastic but if you want traditional Italian the pastas and pizzas are equally as good. A Fantastic atmosphere. We can't get enough of this place. Thanks Gennar and the team! 21.10.07

china red is very good :)

its disgracefull!! should be like a proper club!

Bad......

we visited Gennars for a meal, we were very disappointed with the service food and the attitude of the staff! they were not interested if they had not seen you in there before. would not recommended at all!

I have never had such bad service as I have from the staff and the manager of this restaurant. Firstly we received a diet coke which was flat and replaced by another which was also flat. When i complained about this I was told that everyones was the same. Then when the main course came out my partners sweet and sour chicken was tiny. about four fork fulls in fact. When I complained about this I was told it was on the specials menu and therefore a small portion. It was in fact less than half the size of mine. When The manager then said the portion was fine we just thought it was small because my partner is pregnant and 'eating for two'. finally they tried to over charge us. If you like tiny portions and being insulted by restaurant managers then this is the place for you, if not, then give china red a miss, I know I will never go back.

this is a friendly clean well run village pub which i would recommend to anyone driving through the village of hambleton, it is situated on the left as you drive through the village, with a very large car park to the rear, they also do a excellent Sunday lunch but don't arrive at peak times as it gets very busy custom from locals and passing trade, better to arrive just after lunch, as they never seem to run out of food. My rating is 4star +

I visit this restaurant very often, and I cannot get bored of the atmosphere, service and over all food. The staff do everything they can to get me a table, booked or not. I couldnt ask for a better restaurant in my area.

This is a great place to go at weekend. The food is always good, the service is quick and unobtrusive and it feels like a happy place to be.

It was excellent night the place looked fantastic it was clean and fresh, the food was very enjoyable and the staff were very friendly. it was the best Italian restaurant of the area i recommend you should at lest go there once :D!!

My wife and myself are always looking for nice places to eat in Blackpool. Last night we stumbled across one. Excellent food, excellent service. We have a new place to go!

My friends and I are regular visitors to the Cube and the only reasons are the atmosphere and the food. The service is terrible! But, I have to say it doesn't stop us going in for lunch many weekends! Some weeks they have waitress service but the waiters come to the table about 20 minutes after you have sat down and usually ask you if you want to order food not even reaslising we haven't even had our drinks order taken yet! Some weeks they abandon waitress service and leave you sat at your table like a fool waiting for someone! Then other weeks you approach the bar to order your food and drinks from there and they tell you its waitress service and ask you to sit back down and wait! A little complicated but we are used to it! The other thing pre 1st July was their smoking policy, some weeks I was allowed to smoke others then I was asked to sit somewhere else and I was advised that it just depended on what members of staff were on at that time! Then the usual order is that the drinks take forever as Bar staff are not trained on the art of pulling pints at the same time as sorting other drinks and doing the till etc (in my experience multi tasking should be on your CV if you are a bar man/woman) Then the food arrives but not always at the same time! In general we are just used to it now and most of the time too tipsy to worry ourselves too much, but we do always make sure that if it has gone really wrong then we tell them. You may think we are mad to keep going back but the setting and the food is what makes it, oh and the possibility that one week it will all go really well! My advice to the management there if you are reading this is to train your staff in customer service oh and how to crack a smile now and again!

Lovely restaurant, my partner and I are of the younger generation of 20 and love the restaurant. Cannot put a fault on it and the food is outstanding.
