Excellent tapas good music support your local we love it here

Always love a visit to Brizola, lovely staff and comfortable atmosphere and absolutely delicious food every single time!!

This is the second time I’ve been here in the past few months and I can say is Wow. The food is fresh and beautiful. This is by far the best place to eat in the ribble valley.

Good food, attentive staff and pleasant atmosphere.

We are local and have been in a few times. My husband and I had a lovely evening and the menu spoiled us for chouce. The breads and salmon starter were fabulous. He really enjoyed his ham hock fritter. We had chicken and rib eye for mains, both absolutely delicious. We shared a cheese board for dessert and both felt it was pretty stingy with only 3 small cheeses for the £14 price. Service was as fabulous as always, the lady in charge is brilliant. My only cticism, that did take the shine off, is that it was really cold in the end section down the steps. We asked about the heater we spotted but it was put next to the large table on the other side. It does need addressing and I wouldn't sit in that area again. Overall a lovely night, highly recommended.

Excellent service and atmosphere, very welcoming lovely calm surroundings and excellent variety on the menu, many thanks to all involved

Very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Attentive staff and prompt service. The food was excellent, beautifully presented and tasted delicious. Our fourth visit to the Lunesdale Arms.

Lovely

Living locally, I cant believe we've not been here sooner. Came for a rare date night with my Husband on Thursday so we did the Steak night. 2 steaks (but there are other options on the steak night menu) and a bottle of wine for £39. We upgraded the wine and were recommended a bottle based on what I like and it couldn't have been a better choice. The food was absolutely exceptional. We had bruschetta and cheese garlic bread to start and I had the Rump and my Husband the Sirloin, which came with chips, peppercorn sauce, tomato and mushroom. We shared sticky toffee pudding to finish. This was some of the best food we've had. Absolutely no complaints. The staff were so friendly, knowledgeable and polite and the atmosphere was perfect. We will definitely return, over and over I'm sure. Absolutely 5 stars, thank you for a perfect evening of food and drink!

A truly lovely evening. Staff were friendly, food was great. Won't hesitate to return next time we visit Lancaster.

Had a fabulous lunch here service and food were excellent the greek wine was great to. Hope to return soon.

We had a lovely lunch at Brizola. The food, atmosphere and staff was amazing and we cannot wait to return and try something else on the menu.

Excellent food ,atmosphere, service & value for money as always

The Whitchaff is only just up the road, but it is often our first choice for a lunch or an evening meal. Our parties range from 2 to 9 and we always enjoy reliably good food. The menu is varied and always satisfying. A small criticism: if I ask for a Diet Coke, I do not want Pepsi! Nobody asks for Bacardi and Pepsi . . . they ask for Bacardi and Coke. The taste is totally different, so why not stock both to satisfy more customers?

My wife and I had been looking forward to spending our 52nd wedding anniversary at Verdes and the experience completely spoiled our day. We had made a reservation for 6pm a number of weeks before and arrived at 5.55pm. We announced to the young lady behind the bar that we had a 6pm reservation and was asked would we sit and have a drink whilst waiting for our table. A waiter suddenly appeared and asked would we like a table for 2. We tried to explain that we had pre booked but he didn't seem interested and never checked on our reservation. We were offered a choice of tables. I always thought that if you had made a reservation that a certain table would have been allocated to you so that if the restaurant was exceptionally busy your table would still be available. We were given the menus and ordered drinks while deciding on what to eat. Some 25 minutes passed before I managed to make contact with a waiter and asked if we could order. When our starters arrived my wifes order was wrong. Apology accepted as we can all make mistakes and the correct order duly arrived. My wife had ordered steak diane with the steak to be med to rare and I ordered the beef stroganoff. The steak was well done and my portion of stroganoff was tiny for the price of £23.99. I would have got a more substantial meal for £8.00 from Tesco's finest range. My wife would not let me complain as she does not like confrontation so I said I would wait till we paid. Both of us having a sweet tooth we ordered desserts. The waiter didn't seem to know what the cheesecake was so my wife ordered strawberries and ice cream while I ordered profiteroles with ice cream. The order arrived with some half a dozen strawberries cut in half and a blob of ice cream and 3 profiteroles with fresh cream. Enough was enough and we didn't bother with coffees. Throughout our time here all of the staff we encountered showed nothing but apathy. Not once did any of them try to engage with us, smile or show any concern as to whether we were enjoying the experience. Only when I went to pay the bill was I asked was everything ok. Whilst the wife waited in the hallway I patiently (for me) went through all the issues we had experienced. Offering an apology the chap offered me a bottle of wine as a form of compensation. Sorry but a bottle of wine on the menu might be £20 but it probably only cost the restaurant a fiver. I refused and paid the bill in full stating that we would never return. While waiting for our lift the waiter who mixed up the starter came to apologise again. I the told him all of the other issues we had had and it would be fair to say he was left speechless. So thank you very much Verdes for spoiling our 52nd wedding anniversary.

Another fabulous lunch at South Planks. The deli bowl was absolutely delicious and great value for money. The salmon and cream cheese bagel was full of succulent smoked salmon. We will be back! Thank you South Planks!

We booked the pantry for my sister’s baby shower and Katie went above and beyond on getting everything organised. She did a wonderful job on the decorations and set up. The food was absolutely delicious and everyone had such a great time. Thank you to all the wonderful staff.

First time here. Took my husband for his birthday. Very busy, which is good, and service was very good. Food very good a little disappointed with the lobster ravioli, the prawns were too tiny. But we will go back and try something else with our friends.
