Five Barred Gate Restaurant Bar & Grill in South Ribble

Always a safe choice - great food and service

I wish I had looked at the reviews before visiting 😕 service was very poor, and my order completely messed up twice. Also, the food wasn't the best tasting, I don't think I'll be revisiting here any time soon. :-(

Food a touch overpriced (pub food at hotel prices), but to be expected. Room pretty decent, lovely location, overall a good experience.

Call in here most Saturday's always friendly staff and customers

I ordered 1 medium pizza and 4 doughnuts online at 20:48. 37 minutes later at 21:25 the online tracker showed that the pizza had not yet been placed in the oven. I telephoned Papa Johns Penwortham to chase the order, but they did not answer, so I telephoned a second time to be told it would take 20 minutes. Arriving at 22:02, Papa Johns took a total of 1 hour and 14 minutes to deliver 1 medium pizza and 4 doughnuts a distance of 1.9 miles. As a uniformed representative of Papa Johns the delivery person arrived late, dirty, his jeans threadbare, in stocking feet - walking around outside, in the dark, without shoes. I am curious to know where that ranks on the official FSA food hygiene rating scale.
 The pizza itself was cold on arrival and swimming in grease.
