Reviews in Lancashire

After a good recomendation from a family member,we decided to visit the Original Farmers Arms on Sun 9th Sept. Unfortunatly we found the evening very dissapointing. Although we were earlier than we had booked we were available to be seated and order. However one of the starters ordered was not exactly what was imagined (tiger prawns that looked like ordinary large prawns). Although the main courses were nice, one was slightly wrong to what was ordered and the other needed to be re-cooked. After a ten minute wait since the mains and waiting for a waitress to take the orders of desserts and coffees with no success, we decided to pay the bill and leave. We are sorry to give this bad report, but this is a true reflection on how we felt about the evening.

This pub has gone downhill fast. Up until my recent visit in late June 2007, I was recommending it to my friends but afterwards had quickly to go round and warn them against it. It was service without a smile; no please or thankyou, minimum conversation and little if any eye contact. The drinks were overpriced and the cutlery was literally thrown on to the table as the waitress rushed by.The prawn piri piri, which I chose from the specials board, consisting of the minutest of prawns swimming around in a watery concoction which could hardly be called a sauce and served alongside a tablsepoonful of limp salad. My friend had chosen a sausage with cheese melt on a baguette which was equally obnoxious. We left without ordering a desert and won't be returning. What a shame! The surroundings are beautiful, the village picturesque and the pub full of charm..... unlike the proprietors. Don't go there.

mixed feelings i've been dining at the Spread Eagle at Sawley for years over the past five years and its been more times then good when i've been NEEDS TO IMPROVE!!!

Fantastic, well sourced food. Imaginative recipes. Cakes to die for!! Don't miss this little gem tucked away in Whalley!

Excellent simple Indian food served by usual friendly staff. Bring your own bottle is a bonus and adds to the simplicity of this place. Very Good Dan Liverpool

My friends and I always leave Breda's feeling that we've had a real treat - gorgeous food, spotlessly clean, modern but cosy atmosphere and decent service at a reasonable price -what more could you want?

After reading the recommendations of La Salsa thought I would give it try. On the evening of our visit a large party were also eating, i think they struggled to accommodate this ,as myself and my partner were left waiting . Having said this , they did redeem the slow service by the really fresh tasty food, the atmosphere was friendly, overall I would recommend a visit. If a Tapas takes your fancy give La Salsa a go. Lets support local small restaurants , rather than the mass produced versions claiming to be Tapas.

I went last month with my family and it was excellent. Great value for money, I will definitely be going back.

We love this place! All u can eat for 1 price! Food always very good. Would Recommend!

It is not very often that you can visit a place for the first time and feel so welcome and relaxed. My wife and i are regular diners and have eaten at many different venues. We were recommended to visit the Yew Tree at Heath Charnock by several friends who had been for a recent birthday treat. We arrived and were made to feel wanted and the ambience and atmosphere was excellent. My wife commented on how nice the finishing touches were and how clean the ladies toilets are. The food was as good as i have ever eaten - the starters, main courses and desserts were faultless. Congratulations to everyone at the Yew Tree -we shall be back very soon.

My Husband and I went to the Beaumont for the first time on our friends recommendation... and what a transformation. The food was fantastic we both choose different things to have a taste of one anothers and every single mouthful was divine. From starter to dessert nothing could be faulted. Great customer service. the Cask ale was perfect and the wine menu had plenty of choice all at reasonable prices it's always hard to find good places to eat and now we have found the Beaumont it won't be long before we're back again! Keep up the good work you're all doing a great job.

Excellent food and service rarely bettered

Fantastic food after a long walk. Service impeccable, food cooked perfectly and great to see the use of local produce. Couldn't be better.

Meagre portions for the price paid . Pub grub- at restaurant prices . Staff- very pretty to look at- but seems to be without experience . Good points - Cask beer very good - plenty of parking .

A perfect (long) lunch venue, outstanding value for the quality, flavour and presentation of the food you are served. Unlike other restaurants their 'set' lunch menu food quality is not compromised despite being at a cost of less than you can pay in some pubs. Relaxed atmosphere, attentive service, real log fires, just perfect.

Went to Dante's for the first time a couple of weeks ago with some girlfriends and we were very impressed. The service and the food were excellent the staff were extremely friendly and very attentive. Well worth a visit, going again on Sat with some friends.

Absolutely excellent food and beautiful room (we had the Tap room, 18th and 19th August)couldn't fault anything and particularly liked the heart shaped fried bread with the superb breakfast.....typifies the humour of the hosts, who deserve a major award for turning this place around!
