Reviews in Fylde Coast and Blackpool

Nine of us went for my son's 18th birthday and had an excellent evening. The staff were welcoming and very friendly all evening. We had phoned earlier to ask if we could drop off a birthday cake and balloons before we came. This was no problem. the food was great, cooked perfectly and well presented. When the cake was brought out we were offered plates if we wanted to eat some then but we were too full and a nice touch, everyone was brought a complimentary glass of wine. Everyone said afterwards how much they had enjoyed the restaurant and will definitely be back. Thanks to all the staff for their hard work.

An exciting menu, fantastic food and backed with 1st class service. A winning combination in this excellent restaurant.

Rude landlord, landlady useless, dirty toilets, food still frozen bar staff that seem put out having to stop and serve...horrendous.

Delicious food and very friendly service

Great service, and lovely food. Also very good value for money. Plenty of vegetarian options. Comfortable seats and pleasant decoration. Lovely relaxed evening with friends.

My children aged 5 and 9 love going to the Cottage Chippy...whenever we ask where they would like to go for tea or lunch the Cottage is always first choice !! My 9 year old son always polishes of the largest fish on the menu !!

We have had a few excellent meals at the refurbished Sparling and would be delighted to return anytime. The menu has a good choice and the food is delicious , plentiful and of a very high standard.....a true modern Gastro Pub. Front of House Neal is always most welcoming & attentive, always checking to make sure everything is to your liking. In addition he keeps a good choice of Hand - pulled Real Ales ....always delicious.....of which he is rightly proud. The whole experience is reasonably priced and we would (and do!) recommend this great Gastro Pub to anyone who enjoys and appreciates their food & drink. (This must be worth a free pint next time, Neal??)

Superb. Atmosphere and food excellent. Could have done with some live music though..

We went on valentines night and it was brilliant i would highly recommend,the food and the staff are great, give it a try if u r in the area x

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

First time at the Mayflower not from Blackpool but what a meal really tasty would highly recommend good service and fantastic prices to 03/03/2012

fantastic place to eat, very friendly, great food

Had a really nice meal here tonight. However all things considered I/we will not be going back again! After sitting down in the Restaurant at 21:15hrs, It took a long time (over an hour) to serve the pre course and then another half hour to serve the starters. Really poor service with no interaction from the staff/Manager. After discussing my concerns with the restaurant manager, to which he was ambivalent about our comments, I/we feel that the food just wasn't worth waiting for after the very poor service that we received tonight. It put a disappointing end to the evening as I was celebrating my 40th Birthday with friends.

my wife and i have just had our wedding reception at the Venue, 120 hungry guests arrived and were superbly looked after by Thomas, and his staff the mediterranean style buffet was mouthwatering, with piri piri chicken home made lasagna, pizzola loaded potato skins numerous salads and the best chunky chips in the world all the guests went back at least once more and still the food kept coming! all served to us by professional attentive staff, and to add to that the bar was fully stocked and the prices easily one of the cheapest places in Blackpool with bitter at £2.50, and lager at £2.80, plus house doubles and premium drinks if you want a function of any kind THIS IS THE PLACE STOP LOOKING!!!

On a negative though,the wine is bit on the expensive side... Sorry....

This was our first trip to the ship. It was excellent! The menu was great and the children's menu had much to offer. It had a lovely feel to the place and the conservatory is a great place to dine!! Will certainly be returning to this establishment !!!

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..

we have been already at this restaurant about a year ago and already at the time was not much.But being invited could not say no, simply not a good restaurant the first Italian restaurant where even the pizza is awful.then i wonder why an Italian restaurant does not have Italian staff ??????
