Reviews in Lancashire

2 for Sunday Lunch. The roast beef, and potatoes were good but unfortunately the red and white cabbage was overcooked and while the carrot and swede mash had good flavour it was ruined (in my opinion) because the plate was served swimming in a tasteless gravy. We have used the Lunesdale on many occasions and no doubt will do again, but probably not for Sunday lunch. 

This is our favourite pub in Lancaster. My daughter is at Uni there we always go the Waterwitch when we are visiting her. There are an excellent selection of real ales and every meal we have had has been excellent. Make sure you book a table at eeekends because it is very popular with other parents of students!

My wife and I have dined at Shepherds Rest on a number of occasions and have always believed the food to be of great quality. Normally, we would both have the Sunday roast and it never disappoints . The pork is moist and the mash nicely seasoned and rich. Add to this the marvellous yorky puds, greens and the memorable gravy and you have an excellent Sunday lunch. The only disappointment on this one occasion was the very slow service.

Lovely service and amazing food.

Everything excellent, as usual.

Took friends for lunch. Staff were anazing and so helpful and attentive. Food was terrific choice, delicious and good sized portions. Had a terrific time and already booked next meal there. Anyone living Italian should give it a try

Another fantastic meal (as always) been a regular for years - Great food backed up with first class service - Faultless

Great food and service always consistently deliver never ever had a bad meal here

Food was lovely and the staff were really but the wait for food or taking our order was just too long. We did go on a Sunday and it did seem busy so I will give it another try

Excellent food. Service was efficient and friendly. Good place to take children

what a beautiful entrance to a beautiful old church, you just know there’s a great surprise in store as you enter. Lovely welcoming staff, We were quickly seated, although We had booked, which is advisable as it was quite busy. Fantastic food which was served quickly, We have nothing but praise for the Sultan of Lancaster. For any lover of Indian food in a relaxing environment this restaurant is a must. Very reasonable prices too. Thankyou We will be returning soon.

Amazing food, amazing place, love it here

Fabulous place, gorgeous pizza and wonderful desserts. Great atmosphere, lovely staff.

Excellent food as usual and we took advantage of the early bird menu - defeated by the portion which is a good thing! The only downside was struggling to get the attention of the waiting on staff to remind them to bring water for the table which was after the food had arrived (we'd not had anything to drink by this stage). Other than that, the service was very good.

Called in on Saturday 21st October for the first time as visiting Rawtenstall. We aren't local and made the booking online. Really pleased we chose here. Excellent service and very good quality food. Would definitely go there again if we are nearby. The only way they could improve is by actually saying on their Main menu and Specials menu that they have a separate vegetarian menu which my wife was really pleased about as initially there looked to be very few options. Overall 5 Stars.

Beautiful food. Fabulous service, staff couldn't do enough.

Great menu options and very well prepared and presented food. Service was very friendly and efficient and atmosphere really warm and cheering. Many thanks.

Amazing food! Huge portions and great value for money. Great, friendly service as well.
