Reviews in Lancashire

Booked a table online to ensure we got a table at lunchtime. Ordered a tuna mayo sandwich and egg & bacon. Food was really nice and fresh and arrived fairly quickly. The only criticism is that the Café is always understaffed, especially to get served. Only one taking orders and one making the drinks which causes a queue. But apart from that we enjoyed the experience. Will be back soon.

We had yet another great meal today . The food and the service was excellent. Thank you

Lovely food but felt £70 for lunch for 3 a bit steep. No alcohol . But can't fault the food.

Really lovely, as always! Brought friends who hadn't been before and they were all impressed. Thankyou.

Been coming here for 30 years. Always great food and a nice ambience.

Fantastic! Can’t fault the food, the staff/service, atmosphere, location.. just great!

Excellent choice for lunch with a friend. Warm welcome, pleasant dining room and a wide choice of menu. Food arrived quickly and really felt like it was home made, not just reheated in a microwave. The chips were delicious! My friend had a pizza which rivalled anything you would get in an Italian restaurant. I would definitely recommend The Traders to anyone. Lovely background music playing - Tamla Motown!

Lovely place, great views, cracking food

I’ve been a few times now with family and friends Food is delicious and a good variety on offer. Staff are always very pleasant and helpful. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful food and great service, thank you!

5 star!

Really tasty food and good sized portions. Never disappoints.

I have never been to Verdes before but always heard good reviews. Unfortunately we was disappointed and thought the drinks were very over priced. I had steak just with Salad as I have a strict diet .i asked for the steak medium but it was medium/ well done so it was very dry . My friend was disappointed with her steak too . . The service was very good and it’s a lovely restaurant.

Amazing - Food, Wine, Service, Atmosphere

Absolutely fantastic food, as always, service was again top notch, love being downstairs so we can people watch. Brilliant! P.S. excellent value for money, try the Bruschetta special starter if it’s on.

Enjoyed a nice birthday meal with my son. Good food, nice service and lovely restaurant. Would recommend and will be returning

Have had lunch at South planks a few times now. Always delicious food, generous portions in a lovely homely atmosphere.

Unfortunately, it gives me no pleasure to write this review, as this is a place we used to eat at regularly. We have eaten here for many years, but it has been steadily declining in the last couple of years or so. We ate there last Thursday and it has dropped to a level, that means we will no longer be returning. Firstly, our starter (both ribs) came out lukewarm at best. We sent these back, only for them to come back from the kitchen within a few minutes. The portion was smaller this time and I am pretty sure the original dishes had just been microwaved. Nobody came to ask if the replacement dishes were ok. On to the mains. The dough in my pizza was not cooked properly. My wife was served a steak, swimming in sauce, that was not cooked as she requested. We would have raised an issue, but nobody came to ask how the food was. Considering we had sent the starters back, you would think someone would have at least paid some attention. We had two drinks, but had to ask for the second. Unsurprisingly given the lack of attention to detail, nobody approached us regarding drinks. We did not have a pudding, as we were not even offered a menu. Not that we would have ordered any more food anyway, given the previous courses.
