Aspect Bar & Bistro in Lancaster - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great spot for drinks. Lauren makes a mean cocktail.

Staff behind bar very rude and obnoxious. Need some serious staff training there.

For is always good here great veiw and amazing relaxing place

We had an excellent three course meal at Aspect Bar & Bistro; very reasonably priced for a meal of this standard. The menu is extensive, with a good choice of dishes clearly made from scratch. Lovely seafront location. Friendly, efficient, attentive staff. Everything was excellent but the highlight for me was the Twice Baked Applewood Smoked Cheese Soufflé, Lancaster Cream. Light and fluffy with a gorgeous creamy cheese sauce. Delicious. Fantastic. A triumph!

Stopped at Morecambe for the night wondered around they had the best menu for our taste we weren’t disappointed both food & service first class

We had a lovely afternoon there (funeral! )

Had Christmas lunch with family, wonderful atmosphere, very friendly, excellent lunch, service really friendly..

Nice afternoon tea. Bought as a gift.

Absolutly gorgeous food couldnt fault it at all, well worth the money

Food was OK, drinks were SEVERELY overpriced and I’m sure prices were made up on the spot, staff were miserable and the Scottish lady might as well have taken up a job in policing fun rather than the entertainment business. Would not recommend for a staff party.

Only had tea and scones but it was perfect. Great service and very relaxed atmosphere. Will certainly come again.

One of our stop offs for lunch and a drink when we visit Morecombe..love the view of the lakes from the bar..food is good and competitively priced ..always a relaxed atmosphere when we visit 👍

We had lunch with friends and just wanted sandwiches and chips with a coffee or tea. Perhaps it is our expectations but when a cheese sandwich comes on two slices of warburtons style white bread with about 8 chips on the side of the plate it really doesn’t feel like value for money. I can make that at home for perhaps 40p per serving. I think the expectation is that at least the bread is a bit more artisan rather than off the shelf. Other tables had separate bowls of chips so clearly if you order chips on the side you get more. Lovely young man serving us, but such a weary looking lunch.

We really enjoyed our 1st visit for afternoon tea. Wonderful selection of sandwich fillings with sausage roll and quiche to satisfy hungry appetites! Excellent variety of desserts and fresh scones. Attentive staff kept the tea flowing! Great views of the bay. Couldn't fault it. We'll be back!

Visited Aspect on a Sunday evening. We've been here a few times over the years as it has been convenient amd we've always had a good experience. On this occasion we visited after arriving in Morecambe late due to problems with M6 closures and knowing that the following evening we were visiting the Midland Hotel for dinner for my birthday, the first time we'd ever decided to do so. To cut this rambling story short, our three course dinner in Aspect set a high bar that the Midland was simply unable to reach in terms of quality and presentation. It was excellent across the board, wine included, and for a much better price. In fact we've been to several Morecambe restaurants over the years and Aspect can comfortably compete with any of them and often exceed them. On this occasion however, it was just truly excellent. Top marks to the young waiting staff and the excellent kitchen.

Another lovely lunch sat on the stunning outside balcony overlooking Morecambe Bay ! We both opted for home made Chicken Kiev with char grilled baby gem ! Outstanding ! Thank you Jamie for slick service and cold water bowl for the hound ! Also try their excellent Sunday Lunches, also excellent!

Went for a meeting. Good views over the bay.

Jamie was a fantastic attentive host, even after some seagulls decided to pay a ‘visit’. Wonderful experience for our first time in Morecambe, he’s a credit to the company

Outstanding food, all 3 courses, waiters are very professional and well mannered, great atmosphere and view, highly recommended, definitely returning, honestly can not fault it. Very reasonable priced. Top quality food.

Came here last night, Monday 10th April, for our wedding anniversary with our friends. We were given a sea view which was really good as the sun was setting. We all had 3 courses and the food was amazing!! I had the tempura vegetables which were crispy and not at all greasy which can happen. Then to follow blade of beef, wow the beef just fell apart and the vegetables and gravy were really good. After I have the creme brulee with shortbread biscuit. Honestly everything I ate was amazing! We will definitely be coming back.

Wow went here for our wedding anniversary with friends and the food was amazing!!! We all had 3 courses and each one was truly good food. Wish I'd taken pictures of the food but was too busy enjoying it!

Lovely sitting in the Spring sun with a Mochtail and lovely food x

Three course menu for £70, pre-chosen. All the food was lovely and nice to see that (from a customer view) there appeared to be enough serving staff to do an attentive job. Additional bonus of a window table, giving unrivalled views across the bay at sunset, nature's own light show for free.

Absolutely top quality afternoon teas, the festive one was insanely good. Fabulous value and a lovely staff member made it a very enjoyable afternoon out.

Very nice food, the only problem was the toilets weren't particularly clean.

Really enjoyed the Christmas party evening . The food was lovely even though it was packed. Atmosphere was amazing .

Amazing rooms and I would recommend the best Western Morecombe amazing staff great manager Margaret very welcoming and very welcoming and helpful

We had a great evening met some friends there. They just need better communication from kitchen to waiting on staff as the meals were all mixed up going to the wrong tables.

100% perfect. Lovely staff, very helpful, food excellent - highly recommend.

We enjoyed tea on our wedding anniversary here, didn't book a table in advance but they were nice to accept us for walk in, we had a table near window and the view was very beautiful!

Afternoon tea was excellent staff friendly table with great view all in all the best

An enjoyable evening to celebrate our daughters 21st. Friendly staff, lovely surroundings, stunning views and amazing food!

The staff were mostle exceptional, especially the barman during the day. Some of the evening waiting staff were very young and seemed inexperienced but were polite and helpful at all times.

Quite expensive and a very odd atmosphere elderly customers with drum and bass playing with a lovely sea view? Potential to be nice

Menus very tatty. Glasses were filthy. Lovely view though shame!

Try the fish and chips....Fabulous!

5 of us went for afternoon tea here it was very nice & clean, we had a lovely view from the balcony across Morecambe Bay to Grange The food was totally delicious there was something to suit all of us I would recommend this beautiful place to anyone

Had 2 wonderful evenings enjoying drinks then a meal sitting outside taking in the stunning views across Morecombe bay.

Was just visiting Morecambe and fancied a pizza so as I walked along the front I found aspects . Nice small menu and a lovely sunset view on the balcony. The pizza was freshly made with the lightest of dough and smothered in deliciousness! All just the right amount to have you wanting more. The chef has got the Italian touch just right , a touch of fresh basil would have sent me in a frenzy ! Lol. Honestly it’s well worth the money and you’d go back again! Thanks chef for making my visit memorable!

We've visited a few times for different occasions, this time a golden wedding anniversary, it's a great venue, friendly staff and an excellent buffet.

Myself and my wife were looking forward to a child free evening (very rare), we have eaten/drank/had functions in the past at Aspect. This time the service was awful, the food they brought us was for the wrong table.... I physically handled the plate initially before realizing it was incorrect... once we informed the staff they simply picked it up and took it straight to another table!!! Once we did get our correct food order, the steak was cooked beyond comprehension, I had to ask for a Steak knife and even that struggled, the food was a fair attempt at a Weatherspoons standard but 4x the price. Drinks orders were slow/forgotten! The young waitress that was serving in the restaurant said loudly to her fellow serve "I cant stand customers, cant wait to get back to beauty"! The only saving grace was the lady behind the bar was quite pleasant when we complained.

Went to Aspect this evening for a drink with my husband. We decided to stay for a meal and both ordered pizzas. When they came, the waitress she said ‘pepperoni?’I said my husband has ordered salami and she said ‘yeah salami’. She then said ‘mushroom and summat!’ I had ordered mushroom, roasted peppers and rocket. Mushroom and ham wasn’t on the menu but the summat that the waitress was referring to was ham! She took the pizza back. No apologies. My husband had to ask her to take his away and bring it back when mine was ready so we could eat together. Whilst all this was happening, the background music was trance music. Totally inappropriate for the age of the clientele who were in there. My husband asked a waitress if there was some other background music. She asked the manager and he/she said they couldn’t turn the music off. We said that we didn’t ask for it to be turned off, we just asked if there was an alternative. At one point though, the music changed and it was great for 2 minutes and then it went back to trance music again! When we were going, a lovely waitress came to take our plates. We mentioned about the music and she said that she had changed the music only for the manager to change it back again. I said that he/she needs to look at the age of the people in the bistro as I would say the average age was about 50 to 60. A lady on the table behind, stood up and said to the waitress that the customer is definitely right! Really disappointed that the manager didn’t apologise for the issue with the pizza. Also disappointed that he/she didn’t acknowledge our comments about the music and totally dismissed everything that we had said. To be honest they never showed their face at all. The food was nice and one lovely waitress but some of the staff/management need to brush up on their customer service skills!

We came here for an afternoon tea today. It consisted of a variety of sandwiches, quiches, sausage roll, a variety of cakes, scones, butter, jam and cream, prosecco, tea and coffee. Delicious and reasonably priced. The atmosphere was so peaceful and relaxing. Staff were friendly, helpful and informative. When we were unable to eat all of it they even packed it up into a box for us to eat later. We enjoyed it so much that we spent several more hours on the balcony overlooking the bay having drinks and enjoying the view and are planning to come back tomorrow for our evening meal.

Superb bar, good choice of drinks excellent bar Staff. Fantastic views over Morecambe bay, good outdoor furniture.

Sharing this review on behalf of the 18 person hen do booked in for afternoon tea at 2pm today. There was an overall consensus of the customer service, especially from a Chantelle, was awful. She was sullen and rude. The long wait for food and drinks would of been more bearable if it wasnt for her. I get that places like this get busy but for one of your staff being constantly rude is not a good advert for your business. Food was good but next time if they want to go for an afternoon tea or even just drinks all 18 are going elsewhere

Would highly recommend..beautiful view and food is fantastic...A++++

Fantastic location. Food was good.

Lovely food friendly staff amazing views would recommend 👍😊🍴

Went on Saturday 11/06/22 it was awful from start to finish arrived at 7pm for a meal waited till 7.25 for a drinks order then waited for meal which is overpriced asked for sirloin well done had to send back it was still pink inside staff very slow and there was only 4 people In there I wouldn’t go there again awful meal and way overpriced Aldi do a nicer sirloin for £3.50 disgusting

On arrival staff were very friendly and made us feel really welcome. The food was excellent and we will definitely be having dinner there again. Best meal I have had in a while and reasonably priced as well. We had a window seat and the views were amazing. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

How happy we were on Saturday to have our afternoon tea at Aspect. Even though there was a wedding on, the staff were extremely attentive to all their guests. We was looked after by Jamie, Evan & Liam. These lads are an asset to the company as they made us so welcome and chatted to us with ease. They are very polite, kindhearted & professional young men. Jamie will definitely go places in life as he is such a lovely person! The chefs need a mention too, their afternoon tea is delicious, pastry’s so light! Thank you to Tash and the whole team for a great afternoon!

Friendly, but waiting time is appalling, food average took approx 3hrs to get a main course and dessert kisds get restless been 3 times now with similar experience, thinking it could have been a one off but won't go back again.

Booked the table as a family member has moved nearby so it was a bit of a reconnaissance visit to see if it could be our 'go to' when I visit. Brought my dad too. The views of the bay are fabulous and the young women who served us were very pleasant. The food took a little while but was perfectly fine. The reason I can't give a higher rating is that is that as the place got busier it became apparent the staff were too thin on the ground. We waited 20 minutes after our main course plates were cleared before being offered the pudding menu. When we were given it no one came back for the order. After about half an hour we had to go to the bar to pay so we could leave. Bit sad because the place has huge potential and looks really nice. As we left via the lift we had to pass the kitchen and it sounded like someone was having a go at one of the waiting on staff. (Someone had complained about something from another table, we'd overheard it, so don't know if it was related to that.) I would emphasise that the waiting on staff were very pleasant. When I mentioned this to my son's partner she confirmed that this had also been her experience on the two occasions she'd been. Maybe the problem is down to a low supply of staff, either way, I hope they sort it. We walked a little way and found a lovely ice cream shop instead anyway 😊

Friend booked afternoon tea for 12 for their silver wedding. Spoke to staff twice after original booking so it was seen on their computer system. When we turned up they said nothing had been booked the manager came and left us standing in foyer while she rudely questioned us “who did you speak to what days did you ring ?” It seemed obvious she didn’t want to be bothered with a party of 12 and just wanted us to leave and told us that we couldn’t have the afternoon tea that had been booked. Eventually when she realised we wanted something she did offer 1 free bottle of Prosecco, at this point we were still stood in foyer! We were seated and told we could order off ordinary menu which we did. She offered 10% off bill. To me this is an insult when it was their fault they had failed to get A BOOKED afternoon tea ready. This completely spoiled a very special occasion for a wonderful couple. Once the manager had given the bottle of Prosecco we never saw her again. Disgusted with manager and handling of this situation Would not return as have no faith in place.

Lovely food. Mother in law was very impressed, very delicate flavours.

Lovely place for a meal overlooking the bay, staff lovely and attentive, nice food

Great food, peaceful and able to talk. Not rushed and staff excellent.

We had an Amazing Christmas Lunch here. All staff were efficient, helpful and festive. The Food was all lovely, and in such a nice setting. We are so pleased with our choice for Christmas this year.

Booked a Birthday lunch online for my partner. On arrival the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We sat by the window to take in the view. The bar and bistro was very clean and tidy and organised. The food and staff service was top notch. Would highly recommend.

I visited Aspect Bar and Bistro on Christmas Day with my family and had their 3-course Christmas meal. From my personal experience, I was disgusted with the food I was served on the day. I myself am vegan, and was told months in advance that...

Lovely place to stay and wine and dine

How embarrassing for you on social media at the moment! not letting someone have some sort of credit back due to their terminally i’ll mother not being able to attend. I’m not even in the area and it’s already reached up to Manchester! if there...

We went on the christmas dinner and dance lastnight, the foid was excellant and DJ lots of fun.

Christmas party night. 9 people including 1 person in a large electric wheelchair and another with a walking frame sharing a round table that is less than 1 meter wide. It was impossible and ludicrous. Staff not so pleasant. There is more.

Beautiful food and excellent service

Enjoyed a family party evening there but could have had a better selection on non alcohol beers behind the bar.

Food was very good and well prepared staff need a lot of training in customer care and greeting also need extra attention on pulling and presenting draught beers out of 6 drinks had to return 4 and staff not happy about otherwise hotel is lovely and clean and in a good position on sea front

Fabulous food to suit a range of tastes. Friendly staff and great views.

Food was great although they lacked in service. Staff seemed experienced and lacked as a whole.

Only had a drink there but very quiet with no atmosphere. Staff were friendly and efficient

One of the best afternoon tea's we have ever had , they need to advertise it more , disabled friendly

Wow, we absolutely loved Aspect! 4 of us had drinks which were amazing (June Bug cocktail was so nice) and the staff could not have been more friendly/accommodating. We ended up eating quite late on a Saturday night as we just loved the ambience and...

Great place for drinks and food, with fantastic views of morecambe bay

Great view over the Bay with a drink

Very Lively pub/disco on Saturday night....if you like that sort of thing then this is for you..

Pre booked an outside terrace table...when we arrived they were all full so we were seated inside. Some of the staff were OK, most of them were miserable and seemed annoyed that we were there. Asked for more ice in my cocktail and the waitress (older woman, scraped back blonde ponytail, skinny) looked like i had just asked her for something ridiculous. its ice love, you get paid to be a waitress, be one. Cocktails were OK, service was not, shambles really, when we did eventually move outside to where we were originally meant to be, that same waitress got annoyed that we moved, she needs retraining..or sacking.

Lovely place. Fantastic setting with beautiful views. Staff are very friendly & helpful. A great selection of food & drink. Would highly recommend

Cracking location for a drink - sat and a had a cocktail looking out over the stunning view and it was just lovely. Cocktail was made properly and not one of those nasty pre-mixed things you get in a lot of places. Great value as well.

If you get a meal from the specials menu don't expect a lot. Good Job we had starters.

Never write reviews but after my meal I had tonight I really felt like I needed to praise Aspect. The quality of the food was out of this world and the staff managed to get us a table for four last minute within 15 minutes...

Great food at reasonable enough prices. Staff were accomodating, friendly and and handled our group of 11 well. The sea views and wonderful Morecambe sunset made for a brilliant dining experience.

Unfortunately after waiting an hour for our order it was delivered by the waitress who said she didn't even know what it was. Tbh, neither did I. Undercooked roasted cauliflower with broccoli that was not only not caramelized but was also cold. The lunguine was equally as tasteless. Avoid if vegetarian.

Food was nice but don't expect fine dining.

Shocked and disgusted by the £20 per person cancellation fee!! We are in a pandemic perhaps I should have made the member of my party show up!!! This should be transparent at booking not after... in an email!! Is that even legal!!! So for all those of us who kept The BestWestern Lothersdale going by having takeaways two fingers up to you... Customers are really not valued... so book at your peril and don't get ill... Suffice to say I will never book there or encourage anyone to book there ever again...

We booked 2 tables for 8 people to celebrate our daughters 30th birthday. As it was a pleasant evening the doors were open in to the balcony. One of our tables was in the shade and it was quite breezy. My son asked if part...

Lovely Atmosphere with great food.

Good food , good service , but when we went to pay with cash we was informed that we have to have exact change because they do not give change back anymore , I asked why & the young lady replied , technology , what ever that means , we won't be back any time soon , shame really .

Nice place with great views across the bay, tables booked have a time of 2 hour's due to covid, food was good as was service access for wheelchair users has to go through the hotel otherwise stairs from the front. Dinning outside and indoors wc is down stairs and a walk all told a pleasant meal with view's

View is ok service is fine but the management is poor. We were charged for the terrible ice-cream which we complained and sent back. Congrats guys you earned few pounds more and lost future customers in return.

Nice bar/restaurant, beautiful views of the bay. Excellent service

Cocktails undrinkable. Ask to change it to something else and the staff refused.

Looks good, great location. But… We booked, arrived on time, were seated. Then we ordered pizzas, and were told we would have to wait an hour for pizza. So we ordered something else, and had to wait an hour and fifteen minutes for that to arrive, and it arrived without the salad! By this time, we couldn’t be bothered to wait any longer, so we ate. The food was ok, not great. We mentioned the missing salads, got an apology but nothing else. There seemed to be plenty of staff around, so we have to assume that our delay - and others around us - were due to staff issues in the kitchen. If we’d been told when we arrived, we could have taken an informed decision about whether to stay. The staff spent a lot of time complaining to customers about how bad their life is. Not something you should be doing to your customers. I accept that there may be staffing issues. Especially now. But communication is everything. If there’s going to be a delay, TELL your customers. Don’t just leave them waiting with no explanation.

Seating and setting was beautiful. The reason for the one star is ... at 8.40pm we were welcomed on the balcony, after telling the staff we were ordering food and given a menu. We tried to order, no pizza so were given some more time. Then after a further 10 mins we were told that we couldn't order food as the kitchen was closed. Only after we had ordered a round of drinks. Had we been told earlier we could have either gone to a different restaurant before ordering drinks or t least tried to order quicker. No reasonable explanation as to why we weren't told about the kitchen or why our drinks order was taken.

Nice place Good food Good beer Great views

Well we’re do I start. After a 6 hour train journey I thought I’d try the food here, as me and my friends turned up we was put in a corner and left. Eventually we got to order I asked what she recommended and to...
