What a find. I’m a fairly regular visitor to Whalley but had somehow missed this great restaurant on Station Road. A nice atmosphere and beautiful food when we visited on a Friday night – the vodka and dill-cured salmon was a delight and I’ve never had such tender pork. Well worth seeking out if you’ve not visited before and open during the day too.
Breda Murphy Restaurant – ClitheroeYou may need to go up hill and down dale to find this remote pub but believe me it’s well worth the effort. Beautifully appointed in what you might call ‘country contemporary’ style with rooms for an overnight stay too. Popular with walkers and cyclists getting to grips with nearby Pendle Hill.
Barley Mow – BurnleyExcellent sunday lunch yesterday! The beef was just right.
Plungington Hotel – PrestonFirst time at East z East following a suggestion from friends. We were not disappointed and enjoyed a cuisine very different to what's on offer at the usual Indian haunts. This offered a refreshing change, however if you want a typical English curry they do that too - and very well. Personally for me though it's all about the meats here - we had the mixed grill accompanied by the most tasteful selection of fresh dips which were a restaurant speciality. So good - try the hot mint yoghurt or the plum chutney ! Naan breads the size of tables and melt in the mouth paratha all cooked to perfection. Friendly, attentive and helpful staff rounded off a perfect evening nicely. What more do you want ? Give it a try. Warmly recommended...
East Z East – PrestonWe visited today with a client and the food from the set menu was amazing. The chicken wings was to die for and the spicy shredded chicken reminded me of authentic Chinese restaurants. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Five star service all round from start to finish. Will definitely be re visiting in my free time. Thank you for an excellent experience.
Azuma – PrestonWell done to the canal Turn team, what a difference the outside beer garden makes, looks great day or night the tree lighting is fab,
The Canal Turn – CarnforthTruly deserving of all its accolades. A really first class meal. We eat at Michelin starred places regularly and this was one the best yet!
Moor Hall – Restaurant with Rooms – OrmskirkA lovely and character filled historical pub canal side in Lathom Burscough. Very busy on a Thursday lunch which says a lot for the place. I ordered the cheese and onion toastie which was very pleasant. Good service and clean and tidy. Like to try their beers sometime.
The Ship Inn – OrmskirkWe enjoyed a very special two course lunch last week. one of our favourite Italians!
Italian Orchard – PrestonReally enjoyed my lunch of friend chilli Halloumi with hummus salad and flatbread. I also very much like the relaxed vibe of this modern Greek kitchen in Clitheroe. Recommended
Brizola Bar & Grill – ClitheroeGreat staff, very friendly! Delicious mushroom soup. Great music on Sat!
The Canal Turn – CarnforthLovely chippy. The young lady who serves and the man (who I think may own it) are really chatty and friendly. Food is lovely and they have dandelion and burdock cans which keeps my partner happy. Brilliant, would recommend!
Ilex Chippy – RawtenstallA very busy and popularcafe specialising in hot chocolate, shakes, waffles and coffee. I enjoyed my milkshake very much.
The Chocolate Works – Clitheroe. Tried to book online but was completely booked up all weekend. Did a 'walk in' around 1.30pm and got a table straight away as there'd been some 'no shows'. They've done a fantastic job of the building and decor, the balcony on the back will be fantastic on a sunny evening, outside seating on the front of the building too. Staff were great, very attentive, ordered from the prix fixe menu, 2 courses for £11.95. Had chicken liver parfait followed by beef bourguignon. Food was lovely and the wine was average restaurant price but they do wine in 175, 250, 500 & 750ml, don't see 500ml offered in many places. You can also go in for just drinks but. Highly recommended on 1st visit, would definitely go again!
Bistrot Pierre – PrestonOne of my favourite pubs! Beautiful location in a unique village Downham
Assheton Arms – ClitheroeHad an excellent lunch here today. And I also really enjoyed hearing the passion of the owner has for food and clean, healthy, organic food. Everything is made in-house and I took some of their gorgeous bread away. if you care about what you put in your mouth and where it comes from then eat here. They now have bedrooms too!
Greendale View Kitchen and B&B – ClitheroeWe have been coming to the canal turn since moving to Lancaster. The staff and owners cannot do enough for you! They have looked after us at ever step wether it be with their delicious food, fantastic entertainment or just a quick win on an evening walk. I could not recommended this place enough.

The Canal Turn – CarnforthGREAT SETTING & GREAT PUB JUST 6 MINUTES OFF THE M6 MOTORWAY & GLUTEN FREE AVAILABLE TOO Having driven across from Newcastle I pulled off the motorway and less than 6 minutes drive from the M6 found this great pub in a superb tranquil setting on the canal. It seems that food is served all day which is brilliant and I had a delicious chicken burger (all chicken breast) on a gluten free bun with home made gluten free onion rings - the kitchen went out of their way to cater for me as a Coeliac (thank you). Plus as I was driving during my 2 days in the area I enjoyed a pint of lime & soda and was not charged excessively for it. I also chatted at the bar with a few locals who were friendly and seemed to welcome a stanger - they also told me that the beer was superb since the new management had taken over - always good to hear and the mark of a good pub if the locals drink there in my opinion. Wallings are a local ice cream company I have not heard of but they certainly produce great Ice Cream & The Canal Turn does a big tasty selection - I enjoyed one or 2 flavours! I actually went back to The Canal Turn the next night as it was "Take Out Tuesday", it seems the kitchen is closed on a Tueday night (they serve food from 9:30am so when else would they get time to do a deep clean) so I could get some indian food sent in from a local Indian Restaurant to eat in a relaxed pub atmosphere, a great idea in my opinion. It was also lovely as the sun shone to sit outside on what looks like new tables/benches and just watch the world go by with a drink - very relaxing by the canal. I could imagine it could also be lovely on a crisp winters day wrapped in a blanket with a drink or hot chocolate taking it all in. A selection of the days newspapers was a lovely touch too. I would like to think I will be back and would recommend a visit if you are in the area
