Reviews in Kirkham

Took my 70-something-year-old mum for her first Indian and where better than Buraq? She was mightily impressed with both the decor and the staff just as we always are. Started her off with a chicken korma and a mango lassi – will leave the vindaloo until her next visit! Try and get a booth if you can.

Great pub, food and landlord.

If I’m honest, I didn’t know this place was here. I’ve been to the spa before here at Ribby Hall (and very nice it is too) and I knew they had an eatery for the ‘ladies that lunch’ but I had no idea it was a brasserie that opened in the evenings and that it had two AA rosettes. That puts it, in theory, right at the top of the tree when it comes to Fylde restaurants so we gave it a go last night and it did not disappoint. The Spa Hotel is an ‘adults only’ venue and although some of the aforementioned adults were still wafting around the lobby in dressing gowns when we arrived, it’s nice to know that if you’re going out for a decent meal in the evening you don’t have to run the gauntlet of screaming babies and misbehaving kids. The staff were attentive, the decor plush in a beigey way and the food was very, very good. My mother commented it was the best meal she had had in years. I had a lovely celery and apple veloute with black pudding spring roll, Bowland lamb done two ways and the cheese board with a glass of port. Recommended.

Another great lunch here. Had the Spag Bol, special (and it was), Bob had the Ham and Jo had the ribs - all super. It is THE place to go if you want to stay pretty local but want something a little bit special.

Only got three hygiene stars food not good

Had a meal for our Wedding Anniversary there the other week. Food was excellent and the staff superb. The locals all think Martin is the best landlord they've had in years Keep up the good work .

Outstanding meal with quality service in a very clean restaurant. 10/10 :-) will be going again.

My kind of place! Great enjoyment all round. Food is imaginative and well presented. Having spent a lifetime eating well this is in the top of the lst! Delightful atmosphere throughout . if you are having a bad day this is the place to go for proper therapy! Went with an eating club of many years standing and we shall return!!!! Serves you right Martin and the merry crew! Sorry I couldn't manage the fourth pudding.

Haven't enjoyed a restaurant so much for years! Food is top notch,ambience welcoming and makes you feel at home immediately, staff are good fun and efficient. A thoroughly joyful place. Went with a large party, pre arranged, and there were also another 30 people in another dining room. Service was impeccable . Martin has terrific sense of humour, well he must have in that job! Certainly a place to visit when you need an interesting and really good meal - and a good laugh! Well done. I shall be telling the world and return if only to apologise . Thank you

The best chippy this town has every had !

I've dined here many times and the food and service has been excellent. In fact I can't fault it, also they have kingfisher on draught for £3.60 a pint which is very reasonable for a restaurant.

Just returned from another visit to the Hand & Dagger inn. This place is top of our list for Sunday' eating establishments. A 2/3 course menu displays choices of starters, mains and deserts for an excellent price. Specials are listed on a blackboard. My partner opted for brunch starter consisting of black pudding, mushroom, poached egg and crisp pancetta on creamy mustard sauce followed by perfectly cooked roast beef with trimmings. I had a tasty chicken ceaser starter and the beef. My 8 year old opted for poached egg and black pudding special and was given the option of no mustard sauce and extra Chips which pleased him immensely. I was too full for a pudding but tasted my partners delicious bread and butter home-made dessert and it was fabulous. The place has a welcome feel, lovely atmosphere avnd the service is polite and excellent. The landlord remembers everybody and runs an excellent pub. You must go and visit but booking would be advisable it's a busy place on Sunday's.

We have been going to the Ashiana, since it opened.But we were disapointed, last Sunday. We were surprised to find we were the only ones in at the time. The Waiter warmly welcomed us.We decided not to go for the Special Sunday offer at £9.99 and chose off the Menu. As we were being shown to our table, some more people arrived. The Waiter seemed to change his attidude. Our meal was put down on to the table, no smiles just a straight face -The Special Naans were the worst we have ever tasted, hard around the edges, and hardly any filling, just coconut, no sultanas etc. And i must add, that i think, that the food should be served with a warming stove , on the table. The rice was in a cold china dish, and went cold. bothe our chosen dishes, had a tinned pineapple ring in the centre of the sauce, and mine with the exception of the chicken, hardly anything else, apart from the sauce.We wont be going again-ever. It has changed, not the usual quality, and friendliness of the staff. In fact we only saw the Waiter. wether they were having a bad day, i dont know. Or maybe we should have ordered the Sunday Special!

Not the best local chippy because we have been given the wrong order 3 times now and they refuse to change it so we ended up making something else for the kids! The fish is more batter than fish! The chips are to crispy and the pies are dry! For a local chippy I've heard loads said about it and sadly all bad! We've all been sick a day after eating there and feel it was from there food! I've told my friends and family about my experiences and told them to go to the one on freckleton street, there fish is lush and chip actually have potato in them and not all crispy! Just lush from the freckleton street chippy! I've rang trading standards about there attitude towards our 3rd wrong order and the money we wasted and feel customer service there is rubbish Local chippy no good Local chippy need to treat locals well Sad really but changed from the day they got new management in!

Lovely food, but £6.50 for a pint of Kingfisher is simply ridiculous

We are regular customers at the Orathai Wrea Green. the food is always freshly prepared, the vastness of the menu leaving you uncertain as to which dish to go for (although i do recommend the sesame beef) the staff are always attentive asnd very friendly and the £5.00 curry nights wed/thur all year round make it cheaper to eat there than to cook your own at home...

Went to this Thai restaurant last weekend. We'd read the great reviews on here so decided to take a couple of friends there with is. We weren't disappointed. The restaurant itself is rather like somebody's front room and a bit dated but coupled with the front of house waiter, this just added to the charm. The food was lovely. My husband is vegetarian and a fresh tofu red curry was made for him, we all opted for various curries, all of which were delicious! I'd highly recommend the restaurant.

Distinctly average, eaten a few things from the chefs specials on their huge menu. Fairly priced, plus they have five stars scores on the doors which shines through in their food. Sometimes it seems though the food may be two or three days old and just reheated, which is annoying! Soggy peppers and rock hard water chestnuts have let it down in the past. Still, better than cfc, best bites, jononi balti, the Nile and the good fortune house.
