Reviews in Lancaster

My partner and I visited here last Friday and I was underwhelmed to say the least. We ordered starters, I had flatbread with hummus and balsamic, my partner had the cauliflower and red pepper soup with a bread roll. The flatbread you can’t go wrong with. The soup was lukewarm and the bread roll was frozen in the middle. We complained about the bread roll being frozen and they took it away to replace it. It took 15 mins for a replacement roll to arrive by which time my partner had finished her soup otherwise it would have been cold and we would have had to wait even longer for the starter. The worst things about this scenario was was when the bread roll was sent back hearing the Chef shout “for f##ks sake” I have been a Chef for 45 yrs and have rarely heard this type of behaviour. The bad language continued throughout the time we were eating. For Main course I had the Duck which to be fair was very nice. My partner had the Gammon, which was extremely salty and really not enjoyable. My partner asked for some salad dream and the waiter said I don’t know if we do that, but after 5 minutes brought some sachets to the table. To add insult to injury the senior waitress said she had discounted us. In fact all she did was knock 15% off the price of our starter so about 75p. I always look if I get value for money in a pub/restaurant. If I pay £20 in Wetherspoons it is what it is. That meal we had was not worth £56 and the swearing coming out of the Kitchen shows a total lack of professionalism, we shall not be returning.

Fantastic meal, took the family out on a visit to our daughter at Uni, we had 2 vegans and a vegetarian with us, all meals were served in good time, staff were very friendly and the food was lovely. Will definitely come again.

Wanted to try the Waterwitch for years and never got around to it. Finally booked a table for lunch on line - dead easy. Turned up slightly early, cheerful greeting and shown to table immediately. Very nice selection of beers and those selected in the party well received. Food nicely presented and well cooked. Great ambiance watching a few boats go by as well as plenty of people watching as they moved along the towpath. Will not wait another twenty years before visiting again!

Booked a table online no problem. Got there a bit early, but we were taken straight to our table. Staff attentive and friendly. Food was excellent and worth the money. The vanilla cheesecake was very tasty. Guest ales worth a try.

The Water Witch never disappoints. Nice location by the canal. Good service and excellent food at reasonable prices and an extensive menu. The steak and ale pie was excellent. Recommended

Excellent food and service at the Waterwitch. We were able to easily book a table and despite being delayed arriving the staff were extremely welcoming. The food was delicious and well presented and the choice of drinks varied. The only downside was access. Not being familiar with Lancaster we were unsure where to park and Google directions were extremely unhelpful. But very much worth it when we arrived- we will be back!

Outstanding meal, polite staff, wonderful location. Didn’t miss the alcohol at all once sat down which considering I’d been looking forward to a cobra or kingfisher all day is credit to the fantastic array of soft drinks and wonderful food. If anything, I do think the absence of alcohol made for a much more enjoyable experience

Enjoyed our visit recently at lunch time. Food was very nice. The young man who took us to our table looked after us (that was 4 of us) throughout the meal and was very friendly and polite. It was a lovely setting and will certainly go back again.

Excellent food service and beer would defo be going back again soon thanks

Whenever I visit Lancaster, the Sultan is top of my list for eating out. Been going for years and have always had great service and even better food. Keep up the good work!

Very nice food, friendly staff. Very plain surrounding, but nice.

Excellent food

Never disappointed at the station hotel, great range of guns & beers of course, friendly helpful staff and delicious food, lucky to have this pub as our local

Friendly staff. Nice food. Not licenced but lots of nice drinks. A better quality chutney platter would have made di ner even better. Thank you.

We recently had a meal at the Slyne lodge, on the whole the meal was nice, their were a few hiccups which weren’t resolved eg I had the wings and asked for a finger bowl and the waitress didn’t know what I meant , also I had one of the pizza which had missing ingredients, I did make the waiter aware and their was no resolution just an apology, my son and husband had the homemade scotch egg which they said was amazing , husband had the fish and chips which was nice and son had lodge burger which was also good, puddings very nice.. I would have liked for them to have either offered maybe a voucher 20% next meal or something too encourage a return trip

Booked table online.got there 10 mins early and got seated right away.service was good and the food was amazing..Will definitely be returning and returning

We had lunch at the Lodge, the good was very good and a lovely friendly atmosphere.

We were visiting our daughter who is at the university and found the water witch and decided to go for lunch, It was perfect in every way. The food was tasty, and well presented and also really good value. We could not fault our experience there at all. We will definitely return.
