Food was bland, service was slow, we waited 30mins for a drinks order, seemed to be understaffed. The staff were very nice though.

My favourite restaurant... well worth 5 star... but the BIG negative, hence the four stars, is the "optional 10% service charge", really annoys me, this is my choice, not yours! I always ask for it to be removed, then I decide if the service has been good!

Already reviewed hotel but thought the restaurant deserved a special mention. Firstly decor classy and simple, spacious with a mixture of seating. It was so refreshing to read a menu where I didn’t have to google something I’d never heard of or was restricted to one choice as I can’t eat spicy food. That’s not to say it’s a simple or boring menu it’s in a class of its own. They also have a comprehensive Vegan menu for those requiring such. The menu I believe would appeal to everyone, spoilt for choice really, I was stunned to see steak pudding which had been a childhood favourite. Well I was transported it was the most fabulous tasting meal, no condiments required it was perfect just as served. Tonight was Duck Breast heaven on a plate. I would tell you about the outstanding dessert menu but it would only make your mouth water. Open to the public to book meals not just hotel guests you really need to give it a try. Oh the staff are warm, welcoming and friendly providing excellent service.

Sorry to say this will be the last time we set foot in here. Gut instinct said walk away as soon as we got there but £25 in a Taxi each way we thought let's ride it through. So we walked in to not be greeted and asked what's your name, but to a gaggle of noise and limited seating. My wife and I found a seat and perched on the End. Then I took on the roll as waiter as I had to go to the bar and get a drinks menu. We ordered 2 gins one Rhubarb one seville Orange when they arrived the glasses where identical, not Dressed no lemon lime orange not even any ice...... I asked how can you tell them apart oh she says I put a straw in the rhubarb one. Genius I thought. I suppose a drop of ice would of complicated matters I thought. I then returned to the bar to fetch my own menu as this was not offered and was bluntly told that it wasnt my menu. I was then thrusted 2 other menus and i went to sit down feeling scolded. So into restaurant and our starters arrived fresh and tasty as too our mains. Then the fun started with desserts. And although my one was nice my wives was something that beggered belief. The bloody spoon got stuck in it . So we ordered coffee and went to the comfy seats to chat and there's a bloke sat in the middle of the room in gym shorts a sweaty top and watching the the Rugby. We asked for the Bill on 3 occasions and it wasn't forthcoming by this time our taxi arrived so we just left. Then today we have duty manager ring me and say that this is no reason to leave a restaurant with out paying, as if this was our intention. I'm not here to rip people off. I do however expect a decent service when I'm paying. Obviously I told you I was going to be writing this and in answer to your question No I won't hold on. I think if your calling yourself a restaurant the sports bar image has to go. Anyway like I said email me the bill and I will check it and pay but I will never set foot in here again . Which is a shame as the last time we came we where made to feel special nothing was too much trouble. Last night however we where made to feel unwelcome and more an inconvenience. Before accusing your customers of walking out on a bill. Get your own house in order.

Menu choice is good. Food standard and presentation is good. Service is good. Sadly atmosphere is not good. Has feeling of impersonal hotel dining room, which although situated in a hotel, as separate restaurant, should have its own identity. White overhead spots spread even light, would benefit from lower lighting in pools. Large tv in bar area and hotel guests in jeans and football t-shirts also didnt help. I want to like this restaurant and the closure of the High Moor gives it a chance to step up and make it something special.

Hotel restaurants tend to be fairly generic sometimes, I was expecting an average airport hotel type meal. How wrong could I be!!David and Head Chef Russell have this place running like a tight ship. The service and food were faultless and even the layout and atmosphere were spot on.The teriyaki scallops were perfectly cooked and fresh. We both then had the fillet steak medallion and short beef rib. What a meat feast! Honestly the steak was so soft and tender you could’ve used a spoon to cut it. The sauce was rich and decadent and wonderful mash.I finished with a pannacotta. The whole meal with lots of drinks and service was around £80. Worth every penny. Keep up the good work!!

Having a table overlooking fields at sunset was a bonus. The restaurant itself if attractive and background music is actually background (bonus 2). Service was very good and attentive to customers requests i.e. lowering the air-con to a reasonable temperature. The food was good but was let down by a couple of small faults. My partner had a starter with a poached egg on top which was stone cold and had to be returned. I had duck breast served with the skin on it which I could not cut through making it difficult to eat even though the cutlery had been changed prior to serving. We would, however, go again as we enjoyed the peaceful ambiance and the overall experience.

Having listened to my husbands favourable reviews of Bennett’s (he’d visited twice before with work engagements), I’d been keen to sample the restaurant for some time. Finally made it last night. And what a pleasant night it proved to be. The restaurant was almost full, which surprised me given it was mid-week. Such a lovely atmosphere & buzz to the place. Maitre d’, & serving team were thoroughly welcoming, efficient & knowledgeable. Menu was skilfully compiled. Food was served hot, beautifully cooked & presented. An obviously talented team of chefs. Looking forward to visiting again in the not too distant future.

Had perfectly cooked grilled halibut. The best fish dish since a holiday to Canada two years ago. The dessert was delicious; strawbwerries with Pimm's and lemonade jelly, lemon short bread and pouring cream. The service was attentive without being overbearing. We requested a table by the window if possible, which it was. Altogether a lovely meal in a pleasant location. I can't understand why it is not advertised and promoted more than it is.

This cosy restaurant at the Wrightington hotel is a great discover for travelers. Starting with the garlic filled mushrooms or the duck rolls who actually have duck meat in them, then as main the halibut in hollandies sauce or the trio of lamb (spefials). The dinner is a treat, service is very good and the price... 30£ for a 2 course dinner. PS: they do have a special Vegan menu if needed.

Used to really love this restaurant but now disappointing. The Parmesan chicken breast meal had no flavour in chicken, potatoes or vegetables and the coating on the chicken was soggy in places. Also not happy with the way the menu has been changed. One of the menus is showing meals at a lower price but without the mixed veg selection which used to be included. You now have to order veg as a side order but the side orders are enough for about 3 people and so unless everyone is happy to share not a good idea and also can work out expensive. The restaurant food has never been perfect, for example the pork tenderloin which I ordered previously was quite tough and some of the vegetables were too hard but the Maitre D and ambience of the restaurant made up for it. Certainly won't be going back for a while.

We ate here after staying at the hotel as part of an inclusive package. Wow!! We ate from a set menu which had something for everyone. I stated with tomato soup and my partner black pudding. My soup was very good and judging by the appreciative noises from my fiancé his started was equally good. We both had the chicken main course which was exceptional. So full of flavour and the accompanying veg was perfectly cooked. For dessert I had chocolate cheesecake which was very good and fiancé had a cheese board. The cheese board has a good selection of quality cheeses and I was actually quite jealous of his dessert!! The staff were attentive without being intrusive. It was busy but we never felt rushed at any point. Service on the meals was excellent and couldn’t be faulted. Overall it was one of the best meals I’ve eaten in a long time. Would happily recommend the restaurant!!!

Just had to write a review about the lovely day we had yesterday (14th Jan 2018) for my Mum's birthday. After an initial mix up with the food order (miscommunication between the two parties), we agreed that all 8 of us, which included two children would have the Afternoon Tea. Just to be more awkward, we asked if we could have more sandwiches and less cake on the stands and if the children could have jam and ham sandwiches. All of this was sorted out for us and we had a really lovely afternoon. The service was outstanding, they really couldn't do enough for us and the food was beautiful. My Mum really enjoyed her birthday afternoon and we all said that we would come back for our own individual birthdays. I would thoroughly recommend this place for a lovely, relaxing Sunday afternoon tea. x

My husband and I only stayed one night, we were visiting a relative at Wrightington hospital. The hotel room we stayed in (room 142) was great with much needed air conditioning and comfortable bed. We had booked an all inclusive offer which was great value for money (dinner, bed and breakfast). As with some of these offers, the restaurant meals are usually very limited and not usually that good, but there was a great selection of starters, mains and desserts. Loved the layout of the restaurant with the different areas and levels, nice bar area for before or after dinner drinks. The staff were very attentive, pleasant and extremely helpful. You could see the chefs in the open kitchen and they really seemed to be enjoying what they were doing. The food was amazing, one of the best meals I have had for ages, (we had saltimbocca which can be dry but was succulent and duck),everything was cooked to perfection, the veg was wonderful, I have never tasted such lovely carrots (I know that sounds a bit mad but they were roasted and so sweet). The prices were excellent value for money. The breakfast was equally tasty in the morning with lots of choice. As I said, we were only here one night due to my father in law having an operation on his knee, I would love to have the excuse to come back here for a meal again and to stay in the not too distant future.....if it means he has to have the other knee done....so be it!!!

We went here for a family catch up and felt afternoon tea would be a great idea. What a big mistake and waste of money. I have had afternoon tea in lots of places and this really has to be the worst ever.The scones where rock hard and dry definitely not fresh, the mouse in tiny shot glasses resembles angel delight with extra gelatine it was disgusting and all the other bits and pieces looked stale and tired.A small selection of very uninspiring sandwiches was a token gesture trying to be hidden by a mound of lettuce leaves.The only part that they didn't and couldn't mess up was the glass of bubbly.We actually couldn't eat it and told he waiter who took it away and said I will tell the chef your comments and was not to be seen again! We actually had to go find him as he appeared to be hiding to ask where the toilets where.Advice would be the place is empty for a reason and don't waste your well earned money on total rubbish even the service was poor. I'm not sure if the good comment could be from the same place or hey have got family members to add them but we will never step foot in the place again that's for sure.Not even an apology from the kitchen. Nothing ! Be warned !!

Alyhough only 1 mile from home my wife and I had never been to Bennets despite living here 19 years. Well we didn't know what we had been miising until now. We had the 3 course set menu and the choice of courses was excellent. My wifes starter of smoked haddock omelette stuffed with leaks and covered in a cheese sauce was lovely. I had smoked salmon with a rosti also very good. For mains my wife had chicken with chorizo again good and I had fillet of pork with parma ham which I really enjoyed. Both served with roasted veg. In fact they gave too much veg . Mine also came with a black pudding rosti very nice. Deserts are again generous and my duo of sticky toffee and gingerbead pudding with ice cream hit the spot. My wife had apple and pear crumble and the pastry was very morish.For £27.00 per person you cannot go wrong. The food is excellent, the restaurant is very stylish in relaxing colours, staff on the hole very friendly and a place we will certainly return.

What an interesting conundrum, is this a 5 or a 4, I am going for a 4, and for the next few lines going to explain why. We were met, greeted and sat down, our pre meal drinks order taken effortlessly whilst we sat until our table was made ready; whilst waiting for our table, the staff kept our glasses topped up, in a nice provision of service. We enjoyed each course and from a technical prospective the food was masterly cooked and enjoyable, but that was it - enjoyable, there was no real dish that stretched or surprised the palate, which in my view is the sign of an aspirational restaurant not pushing its self. The level of service through the meal was excellent. Highlights of the meal - the cauliflower course and Hoggart slice / jus. Would I go back - certainly and will do so and the next menu change is made.

I have visited Bramley's several times over recent year and have always found it to be a lovely experience. I usually order the same Breakfast Bite and they always tweak it for me without any question. As previously mentioned, it's great to get an extra pot of hot water with tea. It's always a good cuppa, but can afford to have extra water and still be good. This visit I took my friend, who lives outside the area, she was really impressed and can't wait to bring her husband to try it next time The food is always good, with generous portions. It's great that it's independent and not a chain. Usually a good sign for fresh homemade food. Well worth a visit.
