A friendly pub with accommodating hosts serving good food for the hungry man after a trip down the canal

Good food and the right price - quick service with a smile - lots of space and range of beer - plus you can have a nice walk along the canal. Worth a visit. Andy B

As a regular and happy customer I can never understand why people complain about the price of drinks etc when they are clearly stated in the very easy to read menu! I find the prices no different than other restaurants..and the lovely friendly staff are always happy to answer any questions regarding the menu etc! I take my family there regularly and will continue to do so.

fantastic food, will go back again and again

I DO NOT recommend this restaurant. I had been to the restaurant twice before and had a really good meal as had two others in the party so we recommended it. Two of the party came over from Southport and another 2 from Preston on our recommendation, so you can imagine how extremely disappointed we all were. I booked for a party of 8 to dine at The Olive Tree on Saturday night, table booked for 8.15p.m. We all seated before 8.15. They knew exactly what time we were arriving and how many of us were in the party as they phoned on Saturday morning to confirm. They were busy but not excessively so. 5 starters were ordered which didn't arrive until 9.00. Then the main courses didn't arrive until gone 10.00, and when we complained about the bad service the waiter immediately started to argue with us and told us there had been a problem in the kitchen. At no time did anyone come and explain the reason for the long delay, had they done so and perhaps offered us a drink or nibbles whilst we were waiting then we would have understood completely - but nothing. Eventually the Manager came out to us (after he was asked for by one of our party), he also came out all defensive then changed tack when he heard our complaints. One of the party's main meal was cold and so it was returned hardly touched. The roast potatoes were awful, it seemed they had been cooked earlier in the day and either kept warm or re-heated. Meals were also muddled up and given to wrong people. By way of apology we were given 10% off the bill - the bill came to just under £200 for 8! The steps on the exit at night are impossible to see which is a Health & Safety problem as somebody could fall and seriously hurt themselves. All in all we will not be returning to this restaurant and will not be recommending it, in fact when asked giving our reasons why.

brilliant restaurant my dad owns it lovely food.

Sorry - it's not a recommendation. My wife and I came for a meal on her birthday yesterday with great expectations. We had been once before and had a beautiful lunch. Yesterday's meal started well with exellent wine and tasty nibbles. The main courses were, however a big let down. My wife had the Duck with blackberry sauce some sort of special potatoes and veg. When it arrived it was luke warm and the Blackberry Sauce was actually blackcurrant jam - oh dear. I had the Chef's Signature Dish, Steak & Oxtail pudding, mashed potatoes, green beans and beetroot in balsamic vinegar. At least this was hot, but the potatoes were a little solid, a little dry and I'd swear they were powder potatoes! Not quite what we expected. The place was full at midweek so it must have developed a good reputation. Maybe we just had an off meal - or two actually.

Excellent meal at Twelve. Even though we attended on a night with a large private party the service was attentive and the food spot on. My bavette of beef with dauphinoise was gorgeous. It is noticable with very good chefs that although the food on the plate doesnt seem a lot, on completion you are just full enough. Twelve gives a real slick metropolitan touch to the Fylde dining scene. Go and eat there.

I ate here a few months ago and the meal was absolutely awful. Service was slow (in fact one couple walked out), the duck pancakes were all stuck together and the dim sum was bland and greasy. A few years back this place was lovely but its seriously gone down hill.

I phoned up to book this restaurant despite reading bad reviews it was close for everyone in our party. The woman asked straight away if we were an under 18s party i said no we were a retirement do. They would only reserve our table for 10 if we left a five pound per head deposit which was not possible. I said we couldn't do this and could we avoid that, we were a retirement do who would not mess them around. The woman was snotty and rude implying that she didn't need our buisness anyway. For this reason, i been put off by her rude manner and not even entered the place but booked elsewhere, if they're that bad mannered on the phone god knows what they're like on a busy evening in the place!

best italian in blackpool 10/10

A rarely seen beach cafe that ticks all the boxes. Great food, reasonably priced with efficient and friendly service. Its fully licenced with a good selection of wine and beer and importantly, the dining areas and toilets are always clean, even on the busiest of days.

Having been asked to organise a party for a friend's 30th for 20 people I was a bit worried. However, a friend from work recommended G Casino to me and what a brilliant choice we made. It's not just that the food was good(it's gorgeous and sooo cheap for the type of food) but the whole night was excellent. The restaurant itself is dead posh and you can look over the whole casino from it. They have a Party organiser who was brilliant - she was really helpful. I had smoked haddock florentine which was absolutely gorgeous followed by seabass which was the best I've ever tasted. My boyfriend had a half pound burger! cos he always picks something like that! But that's the point really - the menu is very varied - there's something for everyone. There was live entertainment on later - a guy who was on Britain's Got Talent last year, he was hilarious. I ended up winning £20 on roulette too. It's very good for parties because it keeps everyone together in one place. i was really surprised how big it is inside. very modern & comfy bar area. I will be in there again this weekend to try a bar meal - couldn't get in the restaurant this saturday as it's already full! One thing to remember you have to bring your passport or a driving licence with a photo on it to get in. Really really good.

HEADS WILL ROLL!! After a friend recommended this place, I was curious and naturally wanted to try them out. I was not disappointed in the least! Great value for money, gorgeous food - and the service was second to non- top marks!

I have visited the Paramount since the 1970s when it opened, and as one of the first restaurants of the now cuisine-flooded Highfield Road, it can't be denied that it set the benchmark. The original and the best, it is paramount that this restaurant is held in high regard! Well played Alan!
