Good for both families and a quiet meal for two
Frankie and Bennys – PrestonWe enjoyed a fantastic meal at Haighton Manor. The food was excellent and the service attentive and friendly. Even though we live down the road in Lytham we decided to make a night of it, lording it up in the 2 floor Fairfax suite. Even the breakfast was quality! Give it a go.
Haighton Manor Country House Hotel – PrestonOn the occasions that we have visited the Thyme restaurant we have always had outstanding food and service. There is a good selection of food available that is suitable for all types of people (my partner doesn't eat mammals). The food was beautifully presented and there was a good amount of it. The staff were polite and curteous and eager to please. The restaurant has a friendly atmosphere and this adds to the enjoyment of the eating experience. I would recommend eating there to anyone.
The Sirloin Inn – PrestonChecco's is situated on the main road between Whalley and Great Hawrood. It is a well established restaurant with many regular diners. As you walk in the bar area is a little small and at busy times can become a little crowded. However, this helps create Checco's atmosphere. This is a small family run restaurant where the conversation and wine are just as important as the food. The starters offer the usual fare - pate, prawn cocktail as well as few surprises like deep fried brie or carpaccio of beef. The starter portions are just enough to wet your appetite and prepare you for the main course. The choice of main meals is what you'd expect from a trattoria - pizza, pasta, fish, steak and chicken. The fillet steak tornado rossini is a treat - tender fillet steak with a rich pate and red wine sauce. You wont need a dessert after this one! The specials board also offers a good selection and is updated regularly. Checco's caters for all groups - couples, families and parties but don't expect to book a table unless your party is over 10 people. This is a 1st come 1st served restaurant. On busy night there can be quite a wait so arrive ealy to get a table. My only disappointment is that the menu is not updated often enough - it would be nice to see something new once in a while. Overall, Checco's offers good food and wine in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
Checcos – BlackburnGreat food, well presented, excellent service with attention to small details. Very impressed, great and simple yet very effective ambience, feels at home or somewhere far east yet still in Hoole! Worth the experience most definitley very DIFFERENT overall from others though little pricey...but a must try it, experience indeed.
Nellie The Elephant – PrestonGreat exotic ambience, friendly service, but most importantly, every time the food is at the very least good and often excellent. In fact, the mixed starter for two is superb. For me, easily the best Chinese restaurant in town.
Golden Dragon – LancasterJust like eating in your own cottage front room - very cosy and friendly, take your own wine/beer, glasses, cork screws provided.
The Cottage 1771 – PrestonA lovely place to go for a special occasion. Great atmosphere and delicious food. If you're strapped for cash, they do an 'early-birds' offer which greatly reduces the cost.
Quite Simply French – LancasterReally good. Tasty, very pleasnat atmosphere and excellent service.
Walled Garden Bistro – PrestonOverall the night was brilliant, with lovely food and drink. We will definitley be going back there agian.
Salvatore’s Ristorante – PrestonVery good food and size of portions, at a reasonable price. Friendly atmosphere. Must be the best in Morecambe, despite nearly all others being shut in the evenings.
Saffron Indian Restaurant – MorecambeThis Restaurant was delightful. The service was outstanding, the food was scrumptious, the atmostphere was very comfortable and the decor was very nice.
Original Farmers Arms – ChorleyPricey, however worth it. I recommend the chicken tikka rashun chat!
Sagar Premier – PrestonFirst time I have been to this popular restaurant. We were greeted by a warm welcome on arrival, and seated on the loveley comfy sofas. The menu was complex but extensive and mouth watering. The manager made us feel very welcome and was very chatty, this made us feel at home instantly. He was very attentive, and we left quite full. As [Arnie says we will be back!]
Nellie The Elephant – PrestonNearly four months since we last visited this Emporium of culinary delight and nice to see that nothing had changed.....But then again, with the reputation of this Restaurant it was probably foolish of us to expect anything other than excellence in all departments. We took some Pakistani friends with us this time, and hadn`t spoiled the surprise by trying to influence their judgement beforehand. Result: -- Smiles all round.
Sultan Of Lancaster – LancasterNewly refurbished and an excellent Eatery. But oh my goodness, just don`t look at the colour of the carpet! It was a nice Tangerine colour on our last visit, but appears to have suffered almost total destruction in the space of the last 5 weeks.......Sad!
Naaz Indian Cuisine – PrestonFantastico!
Zio Ristorante – BurnleyOur sushi were very nicely presented, after a slightly long wait (nearly one hour wait on a quiet evening). The sushi served are quite large and the sushi rolls were delicious. I will be going again.
