Flaming Grill in Barrow-in-Furness

Very clean staff very friendly very good hotel

Good tasty food, good service. Definitely need to book on Wednesday through Saturday. Nice to chill out and take time to eat there.

Where to start… I never, ever leave bad reviews. I love my food and dine out most weekends with my family, but dining here tonight compelled me to share my experience. The food was, all in all, distinctly average. I ordered the beef Cajun, which was supposed to come with prawns. However, I found more fat from the steak than either prawns or beef in my dish. We ordered cheesy garlic bread to accompany our mains, but it arrived as we were almost finished eating, despite being told it was “one minute away” earlier. When our wine was served, it was simply dumped on the table, leaving us to pour it ourselves. I’m not precious about wine pouring as a service, but I know most Italian restaurants take pride in serving wine properly. To make matters worse, no one asked us if our meal was satisfactory, and we weren’t offered a dessert menu. My daughter would have loved some ice cream, but when we asked a waitress for it, she didn’t speak English. Instead of sending someone who could help, we were left waiting until we finally asked for the bill. The staff was virtually non-existent, hiding at the back of the restaurant. At one point, a waiter walked past us with his hands in his pockets, looking like he wished he was anywhere but there. If you ever read this, mate, I wishing I wasn’t there too! We tried the number 1 rated Italian before Mario’s but that was fully booked whereas Mario’s was empty - we now know why! Overall, this experience was disappointing, and I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Had our Christmas do here and was really shocked at how the manager dealt with an awkward situation! 100% put me off ever returning. Food was lovely couldn't fault s were the waitresses. However manager was rude and didn't appreciate the amount of money we were spending. They asked for pre order and deposits which were provided 3 wks prior to be told on the night half the meals weren't available as they hadn't actually reviewed the pre order! He also stated we hadn't paid any deposits until one of our party provided a receipt for £90 for deposits!! He also tried to claim we booked a table for 25 and kept changing our minds to reduce numbers..funny when our team is 18 ppl why on earth would we ever book for 25?! He really needs to learn customer service and appreciate his customers!!

What can I say, you ain't getting a better night out in the town of Dalton-in-furness than the golden ball. Huge selection of drinks, live bands, karaoke, pool table, darts. Staff are miles ahead of the other establishments around the small town. So don't hesitate. Just get there. No stars on food, they don't serve it. But they do have Pringles. Even bbq ones.
