Reviews in Fylde Coast and Blackpool

I've just had the worst lunch I've ever paid for at the Outside Inn. Went with some work colleagues, their two chicken meals (bacon chicken bbq, don't know the name) arrived and by the time they had finished theirs... me and my friends just came. We sat watching the other two eating over the whole of lunch and had to gulp ours down. The chips were horrible, there was no salad but a massive bowl of BBQ sauce in the middle of my plate. I would have complained but the people I was with asked me not to. What a waste of £15.18 (went through the till at 13:05 - looking at my receipt). As I know my reviews don't always get published I will be publishing this on trip advisor too! WHAT A TOTAL WASTE OF MY HARD EARNED MONEY!!!

Well that was the worst visit to the Outside Inn so far. I go here every Friday for lunch and it's usually OK food, OK service, decent portions etc.Today, upon reflection, they were extremely short staffed and the place was just a mess. Loads of tables left with dirty pots/glasses on them, one guy on the bar clearly struggling. Actually when i ordered my gammon he said "There are no eggs." "No eggs?" I asked and he said something about the grill not working. You don't grill eggs though? Hmmm, questionable, I didn't think anything of it at the time but now i'm starting to wonder because my gammon didn't have any colour to it. I am starting to wonder just how it was cooked if the grill wasn't working. The more I think about it the more suspicious I get because it was drier in places which suggests it may have been in the microwave. If this is the case then that's atrocious.The wait for the food was too long and I didn't get the criss-cross chips I asked for and paid an extra £1 for.Get your act together Outside Inn. You should be embarrassed.

I have visited Great Fortune House several times and each time the service and the food has been second to none. The quantity and the quality are spot on. I will be definitely be dining there again.

Excellent!!! 8 of us called in with disabled people in 2 wheelchairs, nothing was to much bother for the staff, a ramp was provided for us, and was accommodated with no problem, we all enjoyed a feast of fish chips pea's tea bread and butter, will definitely call back when in the area.

I have eaten here on a couple of occasions and have never been disappointed, the food is wonderful. the moussaka must to try. It was the best I have ever eaten.

best coffee for miles good price also the best toasties i have ever tasted Steve and Andy the owners do there best to keep prices affordable for all with discount for NHS staff.

Superb food presented with refinement in a relaxed atmosphere. The best of 25 restaurant meals in a 2-week our of Lancs and Yorks. We'll spread the word and be back ourselves.Solplantino

Whilst visiting Thornton lodge with my family on my husbands birthday we entered the venue and we were greeted with a smile by a supervisor called Paul, it was a big table of 15 people we were all very happy with the service we received by all the staff but i have to say Paul kept us all amused what a good laugh we had that night, thanks Paul

since discovering the pub by chance in September we have taken five different couples who were all impressed with the quality, prices, value and wholesome well cooked food. The Sunday lunch is excellent and the best roast potatoes ever. Keep up the high standards and the traditional pub atmosphere.

I agree with the comments from Janet and Terry below – went with the in-laws and had a great Sunday lunch here too. Excellent value, plenty of choice and really tasty home-cooked food. I had the Roast pork loin with all the trimmings and sticky toffee pudding with custard. Good beer too and a canal right next door for a pleasant stroll. Highly recommended.

we have used this place for years, we have held birthday parties, anniversary parties and family gatherings there..the food is and always has been excellent, the service great ( mind you we always ask for ann or the owners wife to to serve us) can not understand why some people have to leave negative comments, mind you some people enjoy to complain ....the portions and prices are fantastic and we always tell people to try it......we would say its the best in the fylde coast !!!!.............so keep on frying seafarers lol.....

Very friendly and attentive service pizza

We went for a meal at Vesuvio last night, we found that when the chef was cooking the restaurant got smoke filled and our eyes were stinging which was not nice at all. We all had prawn cocktails as starters and i must say they were very watery with not much sauce on them and far to much oil on the garnish. My main meal was ok however i had the 8oz steak which was very fatty, however the sauce was lovely. My partner had a pint of lager and the glass was dirty with all sort floating in it, im not sure when they clean their bar pipes but the lager smelt disgusting so my partner did not drink it. We told the waiter and he just said ohh i wont charge you for it, he didnt even smell the beer or look in the glass not good if some brings this sort of thing to a persons attention.

We went to one of the regular food & wine evenings here last week and it was excellent! Great food and lovely matching wines with an informative talk about each one by 2 lovely girls from the suppliers. Shelley is a wonderful host and Ian came out of the kitchen afterwards to spend time with everyone discussing the food. We will certainly now be back to try the regular menu and If you like wine, I certainly recommend you to go to one of these events, you can sign up to a newsletter on their website to find out when they are.

This is a great place, have eaten here regularly since it first opened. The food is authentic Greek and having just returned from a Greek holiday I can honestly say it is better than any meal I had on holiday. Will certainly keep returning to Go Greek.

Great food. Friendly atmosphere. Superb service. What more do you wish for?!!

Four of us went to the Hand and Dagger on Sunday and were greeted by a lovely real fire and welcoming Landlord. We opted to have the 2 course Sunday lunch special which was great value for money and all the food was superb. Would definitely recommend and will be going back.

My mother asked if we could all go as a family for a Thai meal for her 60th and Mews came highly recommended by friends and work colleagues... I can only urge you to try this quaint little restaurant in it's hidey-hole location for yourselves. An extensive menu catering to all tastes and a welcoming, friendly ambience made for a lovely evening with the excellent food being the focal point. Dishes were sampled by all and my Ahan talai nam makhram (Crab claws with crunchy vegetables in a tamarind based sauce) was divine. The staff appeared to be genuinely happy to help and advise the less seasoned diners amongst our party and even allowed us access through the kitchens tro avoid my mother spying her beautiful birthday cake to early on in the evening. Great food, great staff, great location... give it a try asap.
