Thursday nights Curry Club was surprisingly good and excellent value at only £6.25 inc a pint! Not quite the real thing but close enough.
The Railway Hotel – Lytham
Away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, Lytham holds essential ingredients. The Windmill, Lytham Green, Lytham Hall and the River Ribble estuary overlooking the Welsh mountains are all worthy of a postcard. A host of up-market restaurants will tickle your tastebuds.

The Railway Hotel – LythamWent for dinner last thursday, was a very good meal. Most impressed with the wine list which seems to have been updated lately, some excellent wines to choose from!! The fritto misto starter was fresh and delicious and veal milanese main was tender and tasty!! A good night was had!
Portofino – LythamHad a great meal upstairs at Portofino. I had shrimps and Milanese. The shrimps were presented on a wooden platter in a copper pot which I liked. Milanese was lean and tender as you would expect. Service was friendly and efficient from our Portugese waiter.
Portofino – LythamWe visit Berties quite regularly. We love the cow milk jugs! The food is always great and the prices aren't bad at all. The decoration is lovely, very cute style. Sometimes we get a biscuit with our tea and we sometimes don't!
Berties – LythamOur sixth visit to this fantastic restaurant. Consistently excellent food and service. Rarely have I tasted such tender meat within various dishes. Good and reasonably priced wine list.
Mohshinas Indian Restaurant – LythamBlack and green undercooked greasy chips, stingy portions...how difficult is it to cook chips? I'm not sure Ramsey and Stein would rate this chip shop anymore. I won't be buying my chips here there's a better one round the corner.
Whelans – LythamGreat little cafe in an award wining park. They seem to be very proactive in the local community. Food and atmosphere good and it's a great place to take kids.
Park View 4U Cafe – LythamWe go to the red Fort on a regular basis. The menu is lot more interesting than the 'average Indian restaurant' and the food is fantastic. I have tried may things on the menu and every dish has been delightful. Each month there is a 'dish of the month' and quite often we have been asked to try a small portion of a new dish. The staff are lovely; very friendly and attentive and the manager is brill! We don't even consider visiting another Indian restaurant. From past experience, I'm sure that we'd only be disappointed if we went elsewhere!
Red Fort – LythamI am a frequent visitor to the Red Fort and have always found the standard of service to be excellent. The food is of a high standard. I always enjoy the atmosphere and find the early bird menu excellent value.
Red Fort – LythamLike the smoked haddock and mash very much. However the bacon needs to be crispy and it wasnt.
Queens Hotel – LythamAte here on recommendation from foodie friends and it's very good but we expected the best ever after the plaudits of top chefs too. Don't get me wrong the fish was beautifully fresh, batter nice and crispy if a little oily, good chips and unusual Tartare sauce; we just felt it hadn't quite lived up to the billing. The atmosphere and ambience like the service was OK but not especially welcoming. Still the prices are very reasonable and the wine measures very generous.
Whelans – Lytham2 first class whisky Sours on Saturday night!
Capri Grand Cafe and Champagne Bar – LythamWe had a very good experience in Ego on Saturday night. We arrived without booking and the place was packed. We were told to expect an hours wait, however the helpful manager found us a table within 20 mins. The rest of his team were very professional and helpful too. We opted for 2 platters for main and had a very nice bottle of house Rioja. There was live entertainment from an accoustic guitarist. All in all a good dining experience in an attractive looking restaurant with a buzz on a saturday night!
Ego Mediterranean Restaurant – LythamFood OK for the very reasonable price. Don't go expecting L'Enclume or The Hind Head and you will be happy. Beer choice first class and the place has a good vibe. I just wish the gents were not an hours hike away...
The Railway Hotel – LythamVisited Chu's last night. Fantastic food but the experience was really soured by the oppressive waiting staff. at least every 2 minutes someone was hovering round the table and we felt that we were being rushed into finishing our food. It was not exactly busy and had plenty of empty tables so it was not that they needed a fast turnaround time. When mentioned to the manager on paying the bill he just shrugged his shoulders and was not interested. There are too many places doing great food locally so the customer experience is very important and as such we won't return.
Chus – LythamMy husband and I have been to the Capri in Lytham four times now and each time it does not disappoint. The surroundings are elegant but homely and the service cannot be faulted. We had the chicken satay and I must say it was exceptional - succulent marinated chicken with a really tasty sauce. 10 out of 10 - Well done!
Capri Grand Cafe and Champagne Bar – LythamAte lunch here twice in recent weeks, once in the bar area and once in the restaurant. Both times the food was very good. It did take a while to arrive but once it did it was well worth the wait! I can happily recomend the open fillet steak sandwich and the club sandwich too! Will return soon!!
Clifton Arms Hotel – LythamWe have never had a bad meal here. Food and service always excellent and sometimes we have been offered a complementary dish to try which is very welcoming. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone.
