Reviews in Lytham

Gordon ramsay got it spot on when he said the fish and chips were absolutely excellent and the price of £5.95 for fish and chips including tea and bread and butter was great value along with nice decor and friendly staff looking forward to my next visit

Nice place to stop for a coffee. Great for dog-walkers as they happily allow your pets in the cafe.

Had a great lunch here watching the world go by in the window seat!

Simply excellent, had the £18 banquet and thoroughly enjoyed it, excellent service. Not your normal restaurant, everything is quality. Can't wait to go again

Very slow in taking orders (we thought we were invisible for 15 minutes after taking a seat) and then when I finished ahead of my wife and daughter, one of many waiting staff hanging around looking around for something to do (how about taking orders?) tried to take my plate before I had swallowed my last mouthful. There is too much competition in Lytham to have to put up with such sloppy service, which is a pity because the food is good and the menu imaginative.

I recently decided to try out the lytham kitchen again recently after hearing that they had been taken over by new owners, i was very surprised at the quality of the food i was served and how fast it was brought to me the lancashire hot pot was absolutely gorgeous and i will be recommending them to all my friends, everybody was really friendly and i was made to feel like i was special, not just another customer.

This is the best restaurant in Lytham Quiet, well served with a tranquil interior this restaurant serves beautiful pasta and meat dishes. the house red is excellent Not particularly cheap but worth it

fantastic atmosphere, relaxed and friendly family run business. The food was to die for, and i would recommend it to any visitors coming to the Lytham St. annes

I took my husband for a meal at the Blossoms, Lytham, on Sunday, and having used this Pub for many meals over many years, was very disappointed . On entering, there were many tables full of dirty dishes and when I went to the bar, that also was full of dirty glasses at one end, and they were still there when I ordered desert. My husband ordered a Flapjack desert which he could not finish and looked a soggy mess, I took a photo if you would like to see it. Many plates that were left on tables, also had quite a lot of food on them. I feel I need to write as this is the second time we have been disappointed at the quality of this pub. I do appreciate that it was sunday and a busy time, but we do not usually have to wait this long and see so many tables with dirty dishes, at other places locally, that we frequent. I would appreciate your comments.

After visiting 'fancy that' on saturday 17th may 2008, I would like to let you know of my experiences. A pleasant enough environment, with an array of delicious sounding snacks on offer. How very wrong and what a disappointment. Over prices and lacking in creativity. A 'cheese and onion bursting baguette' arrived with approx 2 teaspoons of cheese and slithers of onion on a somewhat small baguette with a 'side salad' which was made up of one slice of tomatoe,2 small sticks of cucumber and a piece of lettuce. Myself and friend were astonished as eat out regularly and have never had such a uninspiring lunch! We complained only to be given dirty looks by the assistant who said to her ? boss,'well that's the amount I always put on' We had no apology, the food was returned to us on the same plate after having had an extra teaspoon of cheese added and the bread was rock hard. We could not be bothered complaining again as the staff were extremely surly with no customer service skills, and the total bill for a poor quality baguette a tea and coffee £14.80, discusting that people can be ripped off like this, my recommendation would be fine alternative cafe of which there are plenty!!

Lovely Place to go food great and atmosphere lovely great value for money would definitely recommend

Yes have to agree with previous reviewer. Good, but not exceptional, in fact where I come from fairly average! Also pretty pricey, but I imagine they can get away with that given the celeb accolades. For comparison I suggest nip over to Yorkshire, not far over border is Grandma Pollards in Walsden Near Todmorden. Amazing experience(do try the bus) absolutely superb Fish/Chips/home-baked pies/cakes

A very competent restaurant. We have eaten here on a number of occasions and have always been very pleased with the quality of the food and service. Try the Drovers Platter or Cod and Fat Chips, you won't be disappointed.

Having lived in Manchester, i have experienced the city's china town, where Chinese food thrives in abundance. There are many 'all you can eat buffets' for around £7, and that means literally, all you can eat, it really is fantastic, particularly after a few beers, in fact it is just over indulgence, plain and simple! For £7, it is by no means haute-cuisine; you get what you pay for, factory style produced food for the masses, cheap cuts of meat are used and everything tastes more or less the same, nut thats to be expected for a pittence i feel!There are however also restaurants in china town where you can have a 'proper' meal, you pay more but some of the food is so fresh and delicious (Pan-Asia i always find is definitely worth going to if you're in Manchester.) Perhaps then, i have been spoilt, as returning to Lytham, my experience at Chu's was shocking enough to drive me to broadcast it to the world here; to get straight to the point, food was not hot enough,whats the point in having beautiful authentic dishes if your filling them with sub-standard, warm food; it felt like drinking cheap warm lager from an elegant champagne flute .The sauces were incredibly dull, i would place good money on the fact that the sweet and sour sauce was out of a carton; fine if youre running a take away, but a so called oriental 'cuisine' establishment, shame on you; youre laziness will come back on you no doubt. I have often read reviews written by people and thought, 'shut up and stop moaning', now i am one of them, what a hypocrite, however, i feel we the customers pay good money and should therefore get a good experience, of this i feel strongly. Finally, the pieces of chicken were SO SO SALTY...what were the chefs doing to that chicken?put it in your mouth, gooey bland sauce, hard (not crunchy) chewy batter, and oh, salt salt salt, i felt down right embarrassed and didnt bother commenting when the waiter (who was wearing a headset by the way and consequently looked like he would be more suited conducting a fitness video for people about to have heart attacks having had to much of Chu's chicken) un-enthusiastically asked if everything was ok, oh yeah its great thanks.....this salty after taste was going to set me back forty five quid for me and my partner, needless to say the food got left. Im sorry Chu's but sort your food out and stop mis-leading the customer about authenticity, it wasn't authentic, it was just pointless durge. Will it survive?Thanks to the pimms drinkers of Lytham who will go to a place because of how it looks as opposed to how it tastes, sadly, probably, yes. Still, at least the portion sizes were scarce.

I have dined here on numerous occasions, and will be booking to eat here again for my sister's forthcoming birthday. For me, this is somewhere I like to take people for special occasions as it is a lovely restaurant with fantastic food. I have always come with a large group, and the staff were always polite and helpful; we were always made to feel very welcome. All in all, I couldn't recommend this restaurant highly enough!

Great as usual. always great service from the dashing Ahad and Sammy!

Enjoyed our meal here. Had the new sausage and bean stew to start and a Romana pixzza to follow. Peroni is a great beer and the Barbera wine was tip top!

I was in Lytham with some friends over the weekend.and was told about this place...It is a lovely restaurant , and at 7.30 on a sat night where able to get a table for 4..and it was busy. the food was lovely , and the service was ok. We asked for the bill and where about to pay, and noticed some overcharges on the bill for wine and food that we did not have..A sour taste was then left...we jumped a taxi back to our hotel , and he asked where we had been , and when we told him , he said 'I hope you checked your bill !!!' is this a case of Buyer beware...?
