Reviews in Lancashire

I would not recommend the red pump to a malnurished greyhound. the food is overpriced poorly presented overcooked, of little content.

Went to this restaurant with my boyfriend on Friday night for an impromptu bite to eat. It was pretty busy which is always a good sign. We thoroughly enjoyed our food, though ordered too much which is easy to do as the menu sounds so nice! The scollops to start were cooked perfectly. The prices are set right. Only one minor complaint, the wicker baskets which hold the free prawn crackers on arrival need changing for something more hygienic. There was an accumulation of cracker dust stuck between the gaps in the bowl which put us off slightly. Maybe a stainless steel bowl would be better.

What a disappointment. Having read the reviews and seen the amazing setting we booked a table at Mitton Hall. "Would you like a drink at the bar?" Without waiting for a reply "It is rather full, I will show you to your table" Then it took a full 15 minutes for someone to take a drink order. When it arrived it was spilt all over my wife..evening ruined. However, given that was an accident what followed was not, tables a mere 6 inches apart, no table linen, no place settings, paper napkins and a restaurant that allows a bar menu and a simply uninspiring wine list. The food was nothing special, the fish soup inedible. Such an exotic and idyllic setting should deliver so much more. I would happily pay twice the price for quality food, atmosphere and service. Unfortunately, none of these were my experience.

Held 50th birthday function here this weekend and was very impressed by the level of service and the standard of the food. Everything was cooked to a fantastic standard and was hot. The staff were all very pleasant and many of our guests have said they will return. No hesitation recommending this eatery.

Service and food was excellent. Staff eager to please. Lovely surroundings - ideal for large groups or parties.

good food and good service good value for money. i would be happy to recommend this restaurant

We thought we'd check this place out as a potential venue for my father's forthcoming 70th birthday celebration. We expected great things, it coming from the same stable as Italian Orchard and Pinocchios. What a disappointment. The food was lovely but only adequate for the rather expensive prices. The service was appalling, again, disappointing. The first bill that arrived was wrong - coming to a whopping £89 for 2! We queried it - the waiter even implied that he didn't believe us - and the second attempt was wrong also. Having approached the desk by now - we eventually got it down to £75. Still expensive considering the standard of food & service received. The manager was summoned but only offered apologies for our disappointment, no 'encouragement' to return and give them another chance. They will not be getting another penny from me, nor my family who were quite keen for the party to take place there.

I went to buffet @ Preston two weeks ago for the first time and i must say i was far from impressed! The atmosphere was colder than McDonalds or even a dentist surgery. The soup was cold and when my friend told one of the depressed looking staff they discovered that the soup kettle wasn't even switched on at the plug! i didn't eat mine. We then went for our main course and found that the food was roughly body temperature, not good. These people are serving chicken and prawns at an extremely dangerous temperature! If environmental health took the time to visit this restaurant and probe the supposedly hot food they would shut the place down on the spot! Rest assured i will not be visiting again. I am shocked that we didn't come down with food poisoning. Awful.

Have i been to the same place? The food served was "take away" quality at best - the price is OK if you make sure you eat your fill. Service I found to be rude, you walk in and told "upstairs", in essence you're treated as part of a production line. They get you in and get you out as soon as possible. And as for treating kids well. I went in with my baby daughter (18 months) and was approached by a presume a manager (he was wearing a suit) who just pointed at my daughter and said "she has to pay"!!!!! I was so shocked, I never thought or asked if she would be free - i should have left but i have never been back.

The best indian food i have ever had. I first bought my take away when they opened and even though i have now moved out of Blackburni still travel to Roe Lee Indian. The food is hot, and very tasty.The staff are great and you can see the food being cooked while you wait.Would recommend to anyone.

I have enjoyed many meals at Calves Head restaurant. I enjoy the food and location so much I have booked my wedding reception. The staff are friendly and always attentive.

We go regularly and the staff who work there get friendlier every time. it makes us feel comfortable. the range of food is fantastic, with so many different options. its the best place in the Lancashire for all you can eat buffet, i would recommend to everyone...

The best Indian restaurant i have ever been to and i enjoyed the food .The service was excellent the staff were spot on. The presentation was brilliant,i enjoyed the chicken korahi,the curry was very tasty,the curry was presented to me in a unique way. keep up the good work and i will see you in a few days.

Booked a table on the first weekend it opened and thoroughly enjoyed the selection that was available from the food and wine menus. We go regularly, at least twice a month and have a meal (with a bottle of wine to complement) Would also recommend the beef strips also - but make sure you have a glass of water to go with them as the plate has plenty on. Also I enjoy the prawn toast on many occasions. The staff are very courteous and always give a warm welcome. Glad to see many more people enjoying the delight when we went in on a Saturday night a few weeks ago - only just managed to get a table - however the service was just as efficient as usual.

We ate at Casa Tapas last night - early because it was fully booked. It was extremely good. We had about 12 dishes & although 4 or 5 were tomato based they each had a distinct flavour. The staff were all friendly & helpful & the atmosphere relaxing.We've been here often since it opened & never been disappointed.

Top marks as usual!

We go to Mangiamos often and absolutely love it. The food is always excellent, great value for money on the kids menu at £4.95 per child. The atmosphere is busing and the waiters are always friendly. Its the best Italian in this area by far.

Wicked place! Right by the canal. Great food.
