Reviews in Lancashire

On Thursday 1st April we had our first meal at Truffles Restaurant. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary, and wanted to go somewhere local, but also somewhere different. We had seen a sample menu, and thought the meals sounded very appealing. Our first impression of the restaurant was very good. It was modern, contemporary, but also felt comfortable and inviting, and the lighting was perfect! We couldn't have been more impressed by every single part of our experience. The food was beautifully presented, and was perfect in quality and flavour, and we were so impressed by the friendly, personal service given all the way through the meal by Kat, the waitress and James, the Owner/Chef. We left the restaurant after a couple of delightful hours, and have promised ourselves to go back again very soon. We can't believe that such a fantastic restaurant has been right on our doorstep, without us realising it before! Many thanks, James, for a lovely evening! Margaret and Dave Baker.

The Viceroy is a typical Indian restaurant that serves excellent food and god fast service. The staff are friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Myself and my family have been eating at the Viceroy for quite a few years and I have never had a bad or mediocre meal here. We are not short of restaurants in Leyland and this one is well worth adding to your favorites. Thoroughly recommended.

I don't know why Nino's is regarded so highly. It has a great atmosphere I can't deny but the food is so so. An average menu choice and the food is below par.

we recently visited this establishment for a birthday party. we booked the table for 8pm and did not sit down at our table until 910 pm, whilst may I add it was still being set. There were 9 in our party and they sat 8 of us at the table and the 9th member had to sit on the next table all be it attached but they could not join in any proper conversation. They then brought the plates which were cold and started to dish, they were informed that a steak and chips was missing and also a single portion of chips, also one meal came cold and was returned to kitchen. It was quite evident that they could not cope wit the great numbers of customers they were receiving that night I would not recommend anyone visit this restaurant for a meal in the near future, oh and to add, the member of our party was given her meal in a box to take away steak chips and 5 peas ...lol

Just got back from a shopping trip to Bolton. Dropped on la Salsa. What can I say. Wonderful lunch time all you can eat. Great service nice surroundings. Fantastic value for money. Highly recommended, well done La Salsa.

Very disappointing. Waited nearly an hour for poppadoms, then they brought the starters with them. Mixed up curry sauces on two dishes, one hot, the other mild. Poor service, small portions and over priced. Would not go again. There are far better Indian restaurants in the area.

me and the wife had a meal last night heard good things so thought we try very busy for a wed night starter was good but main meal was shocking had steak at £14.00 which is not a lot but would rather pay double then i could eat it it was all fat and paper thin the worst sirloin ever, had better in a cafe staff where all English and not helpful did not ask if meal was OK etc just took the money no thanks will not be going back i think ever rather have a pizza from takeaway poor!

I have been eating at the Midge Hall for four years now and NEVER had a bad experience. There is always a great welcome, the staff are friendly and efficient and the Landlord is a great host. The food is good honest pub food, cooked fresh to order and they do real chips. Great Value - the portions are HUGE

We visit this establishment quite often. They have recently changed the menu but still offer value for money meals - 2 MD for £7.95 (MD= Meal Deals) which i think is very good. Varied Choice, excellent quick service, meals coming piping hot and are good. Atmosphere of pub is good, shows all the big football games etc which is a must on a Saturday! Would highly recommend trying it won't be disappointed

We recently visited the Red Pump Inn for lunch, and I have to say that the standard of the food was amongst the best I have ever tasted - restaurants included. After reading all the recommendations I naturally expected the meal to be good. However, it surpassed my expectations by far.. It was perfectly presented and the sheer taste was to die for. A wonderful lunchtime experience, due without doubt to an exceptional chef. I would give the meals 9 out of 10, no question about it. A great experience and one not to be missed. The standard of food by far exceeds what one would expect from a public house.

recommendation i don't think so,i have never eaten food fit for a dog but ETNA,s managed it over cooked pasta with passata sauce i can manage better at home want stodgy cheep Asda bought pizza basses you've got it (owner admitted most things bought from ASDA) over priced cheap wine most of the wine purchased from ALDI (it says so on back of bottle) thank you ETNA,s for the worst food ever and the owner is quite happy to admit the food is "CRAP" so there goes really never never eat here this is the most honest review about this crappy hole

Duke of York date visited 27th Feb 2010. Our party of 4 was looking forward to sampling the really good food we have had on previous visits to this restaurant, how wrong we were. The presentation of the food is first class it's just the portions were very small & miserly compared to the previous meals we've had here and as such the depth of flavour just didn't come through with the food. This was a memorable meal all for the wrong reasons, don't get me wrong I will complement restaurants when I've had a good meal but, this left all of us empty in both stomach & pocket £140, starving. It was a good a job we had lunch in Haworth earlier in the day. When we got back to our cottage we had to put a couple of pizza's in the oven, not a good advert. The following day we went to the Waddington Arms for Sunday lunch and came out of there a good deal fuller and at 1/2 the price. Will be a long time before we think of going to the Duke of York again.

Following a very impressive report and recommendation in the Chorley Guardian recently we visited the Calypso Caribbean Restaurant last night and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We deliberately declined starters and had a wide range of new foods by ordering the Platter For Two (£30) with a bottle of House Red (£12). The restaurant is situated in the basement of the Woodlands Hotel and offers fairly tightly spaced tables but the food is magnificent. By having the platter on our first visit we now have a wide experience to choose from the extensive menu next time we go. Thanks for the warm welcome of the family team and supporting staff.

This is currently my favourite restaurant in Lancaster. The menu is not too long but there is enough variety, including interesting choices for vegetarians. I would recommend hiring the restaurant for your private party. We had it to ourselves for a big family Sunday lunch and it was lovely and very reasonably priced. Everyone was impressed!

I have passed this restaurant several times and for some reason felt it might be a bit 'In crowdy' . However I was very wrong! My husband and I went for a sneaky meal after parents evening and was pleasantly surprised. I don't usually eat Pizza when not with the kids, but it looked so good I had to have one. My husband had pasta which was very nice but as usual he wished he'd had what I had! Four seasons pizza and the reasonably priced genuine italian beer on tap. Service was really great and highly italian , a culture that just knows how to make you feel welcome. Will go again.

Absolutely gorgeous! Just returned from a fabulous meal at Quattro's. Delicious food, entertaining staff and a wonderful ambience. Couldn't have asked for a better evening and will definitely return (soon I hope)!

A little piece of heaven! We first dined at Angels on Christmas Day 2008 and have returned to this fabulous restaurant many times since. We have always received a first class service. In January my husband arranged my 50th birthday celebration and booked the whole restaurant for the occasion. Everyone was totally amazed by the venue, the lovely staff and of course the wonderful food. (they are still talking about it!) We have recommended it to many of our friends and they have never been disappointed. We are there again tonight for the dinner jazz evening and look forward to another unique dining experience. Thank you Nick, Shaun, Lewis, Simon and team.
