A’Vucciria – RawtenstallYet another great experience at A’vucciria! They hosted a 30th birthday celebratory meal fantastically! Food & service was amazing as normal! Many thanks!
A’Vucciria – RawtenstallBooked a table for 8pm and mentioned we had a gluten free diner. Upon arrival we stood at the sign saying wait to be seated for a minute, no one came so we asked the guy behind the bar, he told us to take a seat near the bar and someone would seat us. Waited for about 5 mins and we were then taken upstairs. I asked the waitress if they had a gluten free menu, she said they didn't but would come and tell us the options. We sat for about 10 mins and a different waitress came to ask us for our food order, we hadn't been told any gf options yet, so just ordered drinks. The first waitress came back with the drinks and asked if we were ready to order, she still hadn't told us about gf options. Once that was done my wife ordered the baked salad, with chicken option and asked for no onions due to an allergy. I got some of the small plates, the first dish arrived, we were then asked by a different waitress if our food was OK, when we only had one plate on the table. The rest of the food came a minute or two after. The salad my wife ordered came with no chicken on it and covered in onions. We then asked the waiter about this, and he said he'd check if we'd been charged for chicken. No apology or offer to replace it. Other than this the food was decent, if a little expensive for what you got. The service felt a little all over the place, with different waiters and waitresses trying hard, but it was very disjointed. Somewhat spoilt the visit. They were all polite and pleasant, but it looked like they were all either pretty new, or just not communicating who was doing what for each table. It might be better to visit when it's a little quieter, as they struggled a bit when there was a few dining tables in. Would consider returning for maybe the lunch menu, but I don't think I'd go for another evening meal.
Sydney’s of Lancaster – LancasterDisappointed and frustrated. We booked a table for last night as a treat following a number of non stop weeks. We've been here many times before and had amazing food and service, last night was so very different. Sat in the restaurant with coats on it was that cold, didn't help that the door was constantly being opened for take aways. It took a long time for staff to take our order and when our starters finally came they were cold. We had to ask for our bread and appetisers and when they came so did the starters. We were never checked on by staff throughout our stay. We had to wait and wait for our main meal, after waiting an hour we told them to cancel our order and voiced our disappointment and frustration. Many tables complained through out the time we were there, it was apparent the owner prioritised the uber takeaways than his restaurant customers. Once was our favourite restaurant has now turned into our worst. Will not be back !!!!
Anatolia Grill – St HelensA WARM WELCOME UPON ARRIVING EXCELLENT MENU GREAT GOOD & BEER GOOD SERVICE I WILL WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT
The Whitchaff Inn – RawtenstallVery enjoyable, freshly cooked vegetarian food. Beautiful surroundings and friendly staff. Will visit again!
Whins Green KitchenExcellent food and surroundings . Would possibly suggest adding a wider non alcoholic choice including wine as most customers will be driving and would like to have more than a fizzy drink.
Verdes Restaurant – ChorleyAbsolutely superb!! Steak and Date night is excellent value for money. Quality of the steak was exceptional and cooked to perfection. I love the twice baked soufflé to start and my husband was very impressed with la poire belle Hélène. Service is first class with polite and professional front of house and staff. An extra little touch was the birthday cake served at the end of the meal. Altogether a fantastic evening and this remains my favourite restaurant and we will definitely be back soon.
Toms Table – ClitheroeGood food, but very disappointed after seeing “Grill night” advertised on website and then when viewing the menu on arrival and realising that it no longer exists! Reluctant to return.
The Waterwitch – LancasterBeen here a few times we had a 70th birthday celebration there for about 25 of us the food and the service is excellent and we will come again
Quattro’s – OrmskirkFirst time in Quattros since the refurbishment and it’s a really nice restaurant and atmosphere and the food was excellent will be back real soon
Quattro’s – OrmskirkIt was our first time visiting - though we only live in the next door village! We welcomed from the outset with friendly staff who were most attentive. Food was lovely and excellent value. A roaring success and we will be back for sure!
The Station Hotel – LancasterThis is by far the best restaurant in St Helens. The food here is always outstanding and you cannot beat the scallop and prawn risotto. Service is quick (but you don’t feel rushed) when you dine earlier in the evening.
Quattro’s – OrmskirkFriendly staff, good food and properly dog-friendly. Family lunch with our son, who's a student at the Uni. Student discount volunteered - both he and we will be back.
The Waterwitch – LancasterThe refurb is really lovely but the bar waiting area needs a bit of work in welcoming guests. Its definately not the bar it used to be but if you are asking people to wait -at least offer the drinks. Food was okay for 3 of us but 1 plate was lukewarm pie & mash with stone cold veg served on a cold plate. The person who had this dish was poorly the next day unfortunately. Food should be piping hot & served on warm plates. Nobody came to ask if our food was okay - staff seem very young. Hopefully feedback will be taken on board and rectified. We will give it another chance at some point but not for a while i think.
The Whitchaff Inn – RawtenstallExcellent experience. Lovely staff food arrived promptly , we were a family group and everyone really enjoyed their food . Our sons at uni and is planning to come back .
The Waterwitch – LancasterBest food in Penwortham. Not even up for debate
