Excellent authentic Italian. Great food.

What a gem Casa Tapas is!, i wanted to take my girlfriend somewhere special as it was her birthday so we booked a table here for 8pm, it was packed but i can honestly say the waiters and waitresses were top class, nothing too much trouble. We opted for 5 dishes from the hot tapas menu, we were torn between the mussels and the scallops... we chose scallops which were great but next time it has to be the mussels...the plates were huge!, we even had a live flamenco guitarist play right next to our table in the corner...we love this place, can't wait to go again, friendly, great value and you can sit at the bar later or before for as long as you want. Book to avoid a wait....its worth it!.

This is an amazing restaurant and I have been going for 11years now and it is absolutely FAB!! I would definitely, try this restaurant and if you do I promise you will want to come back!! x

My husband and I have frequented Mamma Mia for many years. We have returned because of the consistent high quality of the food and the service. A warm welcome is always guaranteed and, even in the midst of a hectic service, the team have always had time to catch up with us. We have had some fantastic meals, we have a particular soft spot for the fish dishes and the steaks (it is difficult to find a restaurant where a steak is cooked to perfection every time). Another member of my family literally craves the pate starter! Mamma Mia is perfect for either a romantic meal for two or a family celebration. Food ...delicious, greeting...friendly, surroundings...authentic.

discovered this pub restaurant by chance a couple of months ago and have been 4 times since.An old pub in burscough village,family owned and operated, easy parking, very nice inside and very friendly staff. Menu is smallish but splendid daily specials all at reasonable prices but the quality stands out, suppliers are named ! tonight I had seared scallops on a tomato and rocket base with a sweet chilli dressing scrumptious !followed by a large gammon steak in a pineapple sauce on a bed of dauphinouse potato plus a pint of shandy made with their own brewed bitter, all in all £15 odd, what a bargain and what a talented chef.

Fantastic coffee shop! Best cappuccino and mocha around, beats Starbucks or Costa any day. Lovely freshly made sandwiches and paninis. Very friendly place.

I had a fantastic meal at The Plough, the choice on the menu is fantastic, and the option to personalise your meal with your own choices of sides is inspired. the atmosphere is very comfortable and inviting, the food excellent, the staff attentive but unobtrusive and its all great value for money. I would thoroughly recommend a night at the Plough, and will definitely be returning myself as soon as I get the opportunity! 10 out of 10!!

A great addition to the Lancaster restaurant scene: locally-sourced food, cooked to perfection; simple but relaxed decor; friendly service with just the right amount of attentiveness. A 'must try' if you enjoy good food.

Went for dinner last night with my husband and it was as always superb, the staff are so friendly and the menu is great sooooo much choice we both opted for food off the specials menu and was not disappointed my husband ordered Arabic Grill and i opted for the surf and surf fillet steak was one of the most delicious meals we have eaten in a long long time. It isn't the cheapest but you pay for quality and is definitely worth every penny.

I have been to Truffles on many occasions and have found it to be the only consistently good restaurant in my area. I believe that this is because the owner James is also the chef, and is always there. He even personally comes to the table to ask if everything is satisfactory. The food is always wonderful, and doesn`t seem to be as expensive as other restaurants that produce the same type of menu. I have also heard wonderful things about the gourmet nights, but I have yet to try one. I will keep you posted!

ye man boss curry house

An absolutely amazing place we were recommended by friends and have never looked back since. The food is amazing, they with even cook a dish to your liking. You tell them what sort of herbs & spices you like and they will cook up a dish to suit you, WOW!! The wine menu is faultless and covers all tastes. Prices are very reasonable, especially when you look at the service you receive, the staff are so friendly and nothing too much trouble. We visit this restaurant as often as we can.

myself and family have been going to this restaurant for many, many years. Superb food. Owner and staff very helpful and friendly. would highly recommend.

The Plough is the ‘sister hotel’ to the Punchbowl @ Crosthwaite. The food, as you would expect, is excellent. There is a real freedom of choice with the menu - the 'small plates' are exactly as they say which means you can order lots of different starters! The 'grills' menu has a great choice and you order your 'sides' separately which means you have a great choice and it is REALLY good value. There is a great atmosphere, the staff are excellent... what more can I say. A great night out - 10 out of 10

We tasted La Rocca pizzas once and since then can't imagine buying anyone else's. We wouldn't even think about having a change of venue. The pizzas are simply sublime.... Arturo is a genius when it comes to pizzas and his Pollo alla Crema is extremely addictive served with steamed broccolli, carrots and Italian style roasted baby potatoes in rosemary. Our daughter is stuck between her two favourites - Spaghetti alla Carbonara or the handmade Tortellini alla Crema. And as for the ice creams - obviously homemade to a high standard, creamy and luxurious and the flavours change frequently. The sorbets are also wonderful but a sorbet is still a sorbet in the end and not a custard/cream based ice cream so choose thoughtfully. If we can't make it in we order and collect. We wish them every success and hope that they will continue to do what they do best and that is bring a taste and feel of Italy to Chorley.

I ate at the forum yesterday, it was one of the worst meals I have ever had. Ordered hummous to start (pitta bread was like cardboard and hummous had little taste), then chicken noodles (oily and tasted re-heated). The service wasn't great at all, upon collecting the plates, my friend's fork was accidentally knocked onto her silk dress. We received an apology but it could have been a lot better. I would not eat here again. I had intended to eat at Moka and think the forum staff should go here for a meal and learn a few things about customer service and good food. I am not often this disappointed by a meal - its was awful.

I visited on a Monday afternoon around 12:30 not expecting much really as it was just a place to get a quick bite to eat, I thought. The menu was varied and different with all kinds of wonderful dishes to choose from. Service and food was excellent and would definitely recommend this lovely little place. I say little but actually there's a small courtyard to the rear and an upstairs in addition to the front of the bar to eat. I chose to sit in the courtyard and as it was early lunch time we were on our own. I noticed ash trays on the tables so maybe smokers take advantage of this when eating there. I was seated by the kitchen window and I could hear the chef calling service and bossing his kitchen, you could definitely tell he had pride in his job. The courtyard had a holiday feeling but I wouldn't of sat there if there were smokers in there. Overall it was excellent, good food, service and atmosphere. I will definitely visit as soon as I can again but in the evening this time.

We really enjoyed our choices for lunch at the Stork. I had the South African Pie which was chicken and sweet potato. My wife has the trio of sausages. We ate outside enjoying the sun and lovely views over the countryside!
