Good to be back and enjoy the same quality food and friendly staff and hopefully get back to normal and Sam your just great

I had not been here before until recently when I have visited twice. The first time was a Sat evening and it was a good atmosphere, all adults dining, and the Manager made a point of welcoming us at the table. The pollo alla crema was excellent, and other guests were very happy with their choices also. The second time we visited earlier and on a weeknight. Unfortunately there was an incredibly raucous group in one corner, and more children - which is fine but it was just not what we expected after the Sat evening visit. We weren't expecting black tie, but this second evening just seemed more a Frankie & Benny crowd from noisy shouting to dress - fine, I love Frankie & Benny too, but just not at this venue and at these prices. The food on this second visit was also very good. Service as many others have noted really needs to be sorted. There are long gaps when no-one seems to be around, and there is one (senior level?) waitress whose manner and dress (she was the one exception to the others following a black dress code which was smart) was rather poor - fine in a local caff but really - really - out of place here.

Delicious food, beautifully presented with attentive, friendly service. Comfortable surroundings with NO loud music. Never fails to disappoint. See you again soon

Exceptionally delicious food generous portions and the service is excellent. This is our new favourite place to eat. We are wardens on a nearby holiday park and we will definitely be recommending The Lodge to all our guests. The Lodge is truly outstanding in all aspects of hospitality and I am looking forward to visiting again and again.

First visit to Papa Luigis for dinner , the food and service was fabulous. Definitely will be back

My partner and I visited the station a couple of times whilst we were on a short break in Claughton. The first visit, was completely off the cuff after we popped into the coop on our first evening. It was close to 9pm and they still accommodated us, me being the extremely fussy vegetarian I was blown away by the choice and selection of vegetarian offerings. When the food arrived, wow we were both completely blown away by the freshness, standard and quality of the food! I don’t often enjoy the food when dining out, and this was the first time in a very long time I enjoyed the food that I had ordered! Everything was perfect! All the staff at the station are such lovely people, the owners are such warm welcoming people. We literally had the best time here so much so we made sure we visited again on our last evening! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Visited for the first time with a friend. Delicious, well presented food, good value. Service was good and friendly. I will be back as the views are gorgeous too!

We went for a birthday lunch. The staff was lovely the food fabulous. Everyone commented on how fresh, tasty and well presented it was. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and atmosphere could not fault anything

We don't live to far away so love to have a drive to the station ...always lots to choose on the menu ...food is always lovely... will be visiting again in a few weeks as always.

Excellent food as always Lovely place to take children Reasonably priced

Great food and atmosphere with friendly service

My wife and I had lunch a couple of weeks ago and it was just superb. Totally enjoyed it and we still talk about it. My wife ordered from the A La Carte Menu and I from the Lunch Special (£14 for 2 courses!!). Both were amazing. The service cannot be faulted. Well doen and thnk you. We will certainly return and look forward to a great experience again

Never disappointing. A lovely evening, in the sunshine, with the usual great atmosphere, wonderful food and service from very friendly staff.

One of the Ribble Valleys best places to eat, good location with ample parking close to the door. The decor inside is great with lots of space between tables making the dinning experience more private. The food arrives on lovely plates and tastes fantastic, they really do make an effort on presentation and the food. We love it and its first on our list for ANY family meals.. Keep it up please...

Excellent Sunday lunch, fantastic quality at a great price. Well worth a visit.

This has become a favourite of ours in recent months. Great choice of food, pasta, pizza, steaks, chicken etc. Always specials available. No matter what you choose everything is delicious and well presented. Staff are very accommodating and nice surroundings in a rural location but just off the M58

A thoroughly enjoyable evening with excellent food. The duck and pie were delicious

What a great evening we had on Saturday (meal for two). Really friendly, attentive and welcoming staff with a lovely restaurant area and good atmosphere. The food was top drawer - I had dishes from the Vegan menu, although I'm not vegan, and it was delicious; who knew cauliflower steak could be soo tasty!! Will definitely be returning and telling my friends about this place!
