Reviews in Lancashire

Excellent food good service. Done a great job in refurbishment

Lovely food, great cocktails and very good friendly service.

Not great. We’re seated next to a freezing cold stairwell with a cold aircon fan blowing on our table. Service not good and food overpriced and average tasting. Not worth the hype.

When I go to a restaurant and write a review I think about what could be better or is already good. Things that don't need improving are the Mango laasi and home made naan bread which were excellent. Could improve the naan bread more by brushing it with ghee and cutting into 4. The ambience could be improved by their actually being any. Maybe this could be solved by them getting an alcohol licence. Listening to the people on the next table who had clearly been in the pub for several hours before coming for food was quite annoying but there was nothing else going on. in the distance I could see some screens from lockdown/covid restrictions and thick layers of dust on the tables. Our own table wobbled and all the furniture is wobbly and old and should be replaced. When our food was delivered it was brought on a trolley and deposited on the table with a here's this dish and here's the naan bread. No clue why. They should just carry it on trays and give the servers chance to earn a tip and look busy and bin the trolleys and bin the horrible old carpet. I assume the black dressed servers were students there were plenty of them but they managed to forget my drink. Perhaps give them a uniform to be proud of. We had a lamb curry (Naga) and a chicken curry from the special menu. Lamb was overcooked and very small pieces but flavour was good. Chicken was one of those old fashioned English curry house yellow coloured featuring 7 pieces of chicken that were probably pre seasoned then have the yellow almond heavy gravy added. Tasted of nothing but almonds. It was supposed to be £17.95 but we were charged for something different. It was only worth £6 on takeaway in my opinion. Fresh samosas to start were tasty but don't know why they had sweetcorn in. We didn't have a pudding but do not want an English pudding after curry. Overall impression was a very tired old fashioned restaurant without personality or gastronomy. Maybe whoever runs it should visit Mowgli in Preston to see what great Indian food can be. They should also sweep the front steps to give kerb appeal. Last note-when we arrived our candle had already burnt out. I took it out of the candle holder and put it on the table. 6 times we were visited and no one gave us a new candle or took the used one away. I don't know if they didn't care or couldn't be bothered. I suspect the latter. I feel the same way.

A perfect escape from the winter cold. Warm, inviting restaurant. Friendly, efficient staff. Plenty of food choices. Every mouthful was so tasty. Our only question is why on earth have we never tried it before.

70th birthday. As usual first class. Lovely staff.

Came especially for the festive menu and it did not disappoint. Food arrived hot and the wait wasn't long at all. Great value for money. Would recommend and will definitely be returning

Fantastic food. Over the last few visits I and my friends have had the burger, the hanging kebab, the katsu curry and the club sandwich. Everything has been delicious. The portions are very generous. The last time there was a large group there, so service was slower but normally it's fine. Nice warm modern pub with nice toilets. They allow dogs which I don't like but not a problem.

Really lovely lunch. Great food and service excellent. Been to Bread and Butter lots of times and never been disappointed. The quality and presentation of the food is a cut above the rest.

Never had a bad experience here at A’Vucciria, consistently great food.

Excellent meal! We took our two grandchildren. The service was great. Felt like they really looked after us. Thank you Verdes.

The staff were brilliant - friendly, professional and willing to go the extra mile. The steak and kidney suet puddings were the best we have ever tasted! A lovely lunch out of Yorkshire.

Excellent Sunday lunch! If you haven’t been yet you really need to try it! Well done to Mark and the team.

I visited Whin's with my wife and our friend for a festive meal and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The food represented excellent value for money and was cooked to perfection. A big shout out to our lovely waitress, who had been working very hard but still provided excellent service with a smile! 2 of us are gluten free and that wasn't an issue either. The only thing I would change is the very bright spotlights in the ceiling. They were far too bright for me and effected me quite significantly. Softer lighting would have been bliss!

This was our 3rd visit to Smokin Vs. As always the food is fantastic but the service doesn’t match up to the food. Lengthy waits for drinks and over an hour for our food then bits were missing, then after I told the manager, he brought the wrong thing out. Will definitely go again because the food is fantastic.
