Reviews in Lancashire

I am usually loathe to leave reviews of a place, especially if its not been a pleasant experience - I usually vote with my wallet and not return. However, I feel I should leave my comments. This place is vastly overpriced, has really sub standard service and the food produce isn't really that fresh, and certainly not what you would expect from an above the rest establishment, or one that pertains to be. The 'artisan' feel and approach is simply not transferred into the food served on the plate. It was cold, unappetising and I've actually had better quality in a local Crown carvery pub at about a third of the cost. Staff just aren't attentive, you always feel as though you are causing trouble to ask for anything as they huff and puff away and look so bored and uninterested, its as though they don't actually want you sat there. I had to ask four times for my table to be cleaned and for cutlery to be set out. You almost need a second mortgage for the drinks - how the high prices can be justified is beyond me. The place also stank of revolting cow-pat in the restaurant, probably due to the mucky, half dead looking cows in the barn attached to the kitchens and cafe area. I saw kitchen staff going in and out of a side door into the kitchen area, trudging mud and cow muck inside. When I saw that, I knew I would never return to Bashall Barn to eat. All in all, despite its pretensions, a truly miserable experience.

We have dined here on three occasions, food is nothing short of excellent , a really nice personal touch our second visit was a few months after we first ate there, and as we ordered our meals and a bottle of wine Ann Marie said " that's the same as you ordered last time" obviously taking note of customers likes . Going there is like going to grannies old house , lots of character, several rooms and excellent food " Just like Grannie used to make " We recommend this lovely restaurant .

Excellent food, always hot and very tasty. Very friendly, fantastic customer service. Everyone should recommend this put to their friends. It's great.

My husband and I haven't been to the Yarrow Bridge for quite a while so we thought we would go for a meal on Sunday 22nd May 2011. The food was excellent and the staff were really helpful and friendly, we enjoyed it so much we shall be taking our family this week for a Birthday celebration meal.

My overall rating is poor. poor service, weird food etc etc

Has a take away from here last week, very very, nice. Looking forward to visiting the restaurant this week.

Fantastic food fantastic service, fantastic evening!!!

The service at Double Two was exemplary. The staff were attentive without being obvious. We ordered one main meal off the menu and asked for one that was not on the menu, which was produced and delivered to a very high standard. The food was specific and not generic and exceptionally tasty. The staff also offered an complimentary drink after the meal. I would highly recommend anyone to eat at Double Tree.

visited three times, each time high standard of fresh food, cooked to perfection. Excellent service,comes highly recommended

Called in for lunch. Prices were low but so was the quality of the cooking. The meat in my meal was dry and overcooked. The member of staff who served us was surly and had clearly never been to charm school. Avoid this place unless you are desperate!

their food is amazing. what more is there to say. Luigi and Barbara are both lovely as well everyone else who works there. i can honestly say i have never had better garlic mushrooms or chicken and sweetcorn pizza :D

Cannot recommend this highly enough! Went for Sunday lunch and the food and service were excellent, 3 courses £13.95, will definitely go again!!

fantastic place great food and good service,

I have been to this restaurant about three times, on my third visit i am sorry to say i will not be returning. The food was good but the prices of drinks was not. We were over charged for drinks and also they added a cover charge of £15.00 on to our bill which has never happened before. This was supposed to be a good value for money restaurant and it has become very over priced. In this current climate there are such a lot of restaurants out there doing great food and great prices. I'm sorry this restaurant is not one. I could of gone to Harvey Nichols in Manchester drinking champagne and been served by a five star michelin chef and my bill would of been cheaper.

regular visitors lovely food staff excellent very friendly and cosy. Love it.

I recently visited the Red Lion completely on a whim with my husband while passing through Mawdesley. The exterior of the pub was what attracted us, especially the sweet little fence separating the outdoor area. The staff were relaxed yet utterly professional and couldn't do enough to please us, particularly the tall boy behind the bar. We chose to dine on the 3 course Sunday Lunch menu (amazing value!) and I have to say, the chocolate fondant pudding has knocked bread and butter pudding off the menu at my 'last supper' - it was divine! All in all I was pleased to be reminded of just how great British pubs can be. Keep up the good work!

Went for a meal with my boyfriend and the food is awesome!! Very friendly staff and very helpful as asked about special dietary requirements for my sister and they went through the menu with recommendations so 10/10 from me and Rob :)))

We went for a meal for my Husband's 40th birthday and had a wonderful evening that far exceeded my expectations. The food was spectacular, the service was amazing and we were treated like royalty. 10/10 is just not a high enough score! We have lived within walking distance for 20 years and this was our first visit, boy have we been missing out! We can't wait to return, thoroughly recommended .
