Went here for Sunday lunch with friends. It was excellent. Lots of tender roast beef, a huge Yorkshire pudding and lovely well cooked vegetables. Cauliflower cheese came as standard, not an extra and there was plenty of gravy with an extra jug requested as we are Northern after all. Would highly recommend the Sunday lunch!

Wow, we had such an amazing night here on Saturday. I booked here for my 40th birthday meal and from start to finish we felt really looked after. Every member of staff we spoke to was excellent. The food was absolutely incredible. We did the tapas and ordered 10 dishes between us. Every single plate was delicious. The Lake Lounge is now my favourite place in Littleborough, and I can not recommend it enough. They even made a fuss of me at the end and brought me out something for my birthday. Thank you to everyone working on Saturday night. It was amazing.

This place was a very good find. Searched for different places in the area on Tripadvisor and this one was a perfect choice. Food was delicious and very generous portions. Had scallops starter followed by Sunday roast beef which none of us could finish. Kids had sausages and chips and they were also delicious Staff were very friendly and welcoming

Popped in lunch on Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed our meal as I had the beef Sunday roast which was a plate full and worth the money, they don't normally allow dogs in on a Sunday but they found us a table to one side so we could bring our dog in..

We did not expect to get a table on New Year's Day but we were greeted nicely and a check was made and we were in. The food was excellent and the prices very good. I noticed a waitress serving, clearing tables and dealing with customers. She clearly cared about what she was doing and did it well. She looked after us in a thoughtful as well as efficient way. So all round it was a very good experience. Thank you Lake Lounge and Lizzy (Elizabeth). If I was the owner I would look after her and the chef!

What a lovely place to eat and relax. We've had the pleasure of dining here on a few occasions and recently had a large family gathering for our son's birthday. As always, we are made to feel welcome, at home and we're well looked after. The menu is superb, and the dishes we ordered were cooked to perfection and plentiful. Unfortunately my eyes are bigger than my belly and I couldn't eat everything. We had a really enjoyable time and can't wait to return. It is definitely worth the 5 star rating and i would strongly recommend that you try it.

Thank you so much for lunch today; Nachos, king prawn/salmon pasta and prawn/ a salmon, prawn sandwich with chunky chips, salad all amazing and very plentiful! We were taken back and totally surprised by your kind gesture of birthday cheesecake!- very unexpected and kind. Thank you 😊 This already topped what we had thought of our lunch alone- the pasta dish my husband described as best ever, better than some pasta dishes in Italy, which we visit frequent-plenty of king prawns, salmon in the pasta in a creamy sauce, with just enough chilli to compliment- lush We normally choose from your tapas menu as we have always dined in the evening with you- but decided on your day time menu, which has lots of choice/variety and was not disappointed on quality, and value. Hospitality spot on, food amazing 😊 Thank you Lake Lounge and see you soon. Fe & Jay

Visited yesterday at 4pm and can confidently say we will never return. Ordered 4 soft drinks which took over 20 minutes to arrive and when they did arrived incorrect with additional drinks we didn't order. When ordering our food, several things we wanted off the menus ( including the childrens menu) were not available however nobody had said this to us prior and the waitress looked this this was clearly news to her when I informed her someone should have said this when we say down. 2 of our group ordered starters- £8 for 4 pathetic peices of calamari which didnt even have a piece of lemon or a bit of garnish on the side for presentation purposes- absolute rip off! Ordered 3 sunday lunches which took over hour to arrive and when they did eventually arrive were cold and missing the veg. When I questioned where the veg was on the plate, the waitress returned with some limp, wet and pathetic looking cabbage on a puddle and said there were no carrotts left. No apology no nothing. Told her is really wasnt acceptable and again was looked at like I was just being difficult. 5 minutes later another waitress appear with some equally pathetic looking carrots so they did have some clearly. Husbands chicken burger looked equally poor and pretty dry and burnt. The weather also took a turn whilst we were waiting for our food which had resulted in groups of drenched and very drunk people coming in from the beer garden who were being loud and brash cheering and just generally being drunken. The so called manager said and did nothing to quieten them down even though you could clearly feel a change of atmosphere inside from a family venue to what felt like being in the weatherspoon at 11pm on a Saturday night. As a result of the drunk groups, people were getting up and moving trying to get a table away from the noise and rowdiness. 2 pensioners who had moved eventually gave up and left without ordering informing the manager that it was because of the noise...again he did and said nothing. We couldn't bare being in the place for another minute so asked for the bill instead of desert. This arrived included drinks we didn't have on it which we had to get removed. Overall the service was terrible, food was shocking and atmophere awful. I never write reviews but didnt feel I could leave this one without one. This place needs to decide it its a bar or a restraunt, the manager needs to take charge, co-ordinate his staff and get a backbone to deal with drunken customers and the waitresses need some real training in expectations of good service.

We have always been to the lake lounge and have never had any complaints about the food, or service it’s actually one of our favourite places but we went with our friends and children on Sunday , This is the first time ever but had to write a review as the food and service on this day wasn’t good at all, sorry to say. We had over an hour wait and our food all came separately which meant we didn’t eat together as intended. The restaurant wasn’t busy as it has been so not sure what was going on.

We were rushed getting initial drink and food order. After our food arrived. Staff were all congregated at the bar. The table behind us had to get up twice to ask for a drink and the bill (bearing in mind there was 3 tables in the restaurant). We also had to get up to ask for a drink and the bill. Staff clearly wanted to get rid of us and didn’t really care for customer service. Food was nice put was let down by poor service

I'd heard good things about this place from friends and family but it still exceeded my expectations. I liked the choice on the menus, the portions are huge thus it's good value for money. It was actually the best cheese and onion pie I'd ever had! Everybody dining in our party enjoyed their food. The only slight niggle I encountered was they gave me the wrong dessert (sticky toffee instead of chocolate sticky pudding) but by the time I realised I'd eaten half of it as it was so good! At least I get to try the sticky chocolate pudding next time! I would highly recommend it here.

Enjoyed a lovely meal with £10 discount courtesy of Rishi Sunak. We had fillet steak with pepper sauce, chips and veg. The steak was cooked perfectly and very tender, chips hot and crispy and nicely cooked mixed veg. There were 3 of us dining and we could have managed with 2 portions of the pepper sauce which is served in individual little saucepans. Finished off with biscotti cheesecake which was delicious and very moorish!! Lovely place on the lake and nice surroundings to dine in. We have had drinks there before but never dined, we will go again as we all enjoyed our meals.

recently dined here - the food was lovely and huge portions. asked for a desert menu that never came but the staff were clearly busy so we let it go. my issue with this is place is the clientele (i understand that this is not the restaurants fault hence i have not let it hinder my rating but i thinks it’s important). drunk men at the bar almost fighting each other, swearing, shouting etc. a group of women who had brought their own bottle of gin with them and were just freely pouring it into their glasses. again it really does put you off when you’re paying X amount for a drink and they allow this behaviour. maybe next time i’ll bring a crate of beer in with me

If you don’t want staff checking on how your meal is, if you want anything else, available to settle the bill or appreciative of any tip then this is the place for you! It is obviously more interesting in the kitchen as that is where they spend most of their time out of sight! The food was okay but there is much more to the dining out experience such as customer care and hospitality .

My sister and I took my mum and nanna on a visit to Hollingworth Lake yesterday and, after looking at TripAdvisor reviews, decided to visit Lake Lounge for a late lunch. Firstly, I'd like to add that there were a couple of positives: our waitress was lovely, my nanna enjoyed her fish and chips and the dessert was fine. However, the negatives far outweighed these positives. Firstly, as said in previous reviews, the place was freezing! Drizzly, cold weather outside and they had the air-con on! My elderly nanna spent half the meal wearing her coat. My sister and I ordered Tapas dishes between us with bread and a balsamic dip. Our dishes came and every single dish was over-garnished with large clumps of cress (the chef had even thrown a stalk of cress in the balsamic vinegar!) Our immediate observation was: what are they trying to hide? The answer: mediocre to awful food. The chicken and chorizo dish was swimming in sauce and oil and the chorizo was clearly the pre-sliced package variety and there was a very strange sweet bread provided that when combined with balsamic was very sickly. The patatas bravas was nice. However, we could overlook those things as the prawn tempura was truly dreadful. Greasy and chewy overcooked prawns. I took a bite of the first prawn and handed it to my sister and we both had disgusting, coated mouths. When the dishes were collected at the end, we informed the waitress and she said she would inform the chef. When the bill came the prawns were included and they had incorrectly charged my mum for a 3-course early bird meal when she had 1! We explained to the waitress that we were not happy to pay for the prawns as we had each had one bite and left it. The waitress went to speak with her manager. She returned and explained that her manager had said that as we had eaten some, we had to pay half price! The dish cost £8.00 originally and they wanted us to pay £4.00 for something that was inedible! We asked to speak to the manager and she finally came out (after a long wait) with a new bill that excluded the prawns. Even at this point she tried to argue that we had eaten some at which point i pointed out that we had eaten one prawn between us to try the awful dish. Really poor service from the manager to rectify this. On top of this there were really long waits for any attention from the wait staff (while they all congregated near the bar laughing and joking with each other) and no napkins given for dessert- spoons just plonked on the table. I would not recommend Lake Lounge- the price is ridiculous for the food and the experience. We won't be returning.

I have eaten twice here before and had an enjoyable meal. Today was a disappointment. I had as usual one of the speciality sandwiches, when it arrived, the presentation was good and there was plenty of the filling of smoked salmon , prawns etc only to be spoiled when it was obvious that the toasted bloomer base was badly burned. It of course was all that I could taste. Not what one expects when paying £9.95 for a speciality sandwich! When I mentioned it there was no apology just the offer of another piece of toast, which took some time to arrive. Not impressed today but will try again.

Informed them of number in party in advance. But still had to wait long time for meals. Dissapointed by meals. Very small portions.

Visited at lunch time and enjoyed a very reasonably priced two course lunch for £13. Whilst the restaurant was fairly quiet at the time of our visit it can clearly cater for many more customers. There was a good selection of Gluten Free options and we were promptly served by attentive staff. Food nicely presented and cooked to our liking. No grumbles what so ever!

Called for an early evening meal with 4 yr. old grandchild to be ignored by staff for 10 mins prior to menus being brought to us and then waited forty five mins. for the three meals to arrive. Both chicken dishes were overcooked as were the chips both the sweet potato and regular chips.

Booked here for A birthday tea. All 4 of us had different tapas with no complaints from anyone. Service was quick and food piping hot on arrival. Will return.

I think we might have been too big a group for the Lake Lounge. There were 20 or so of us for lunch. The food was fine and service ok but the kitchen didn’t manage to serve us together. The first meals out had been eaten by the time the ladt person was served. I discussed the problem and was told there was only one person in the kitchen, not good for a pre-booked group. So don’t let me put you off because it is a great location, the food and service were fine and I’m sure the kitchen would manage for an average family group.

Although we had a table booked we were shown to a dirty table, I had to ask for it to be cleaned. Given menus but we had to ask passing staff if we could order after 20 mins. Good Food. Main course came out, when the Veg came out of the kitchen the member of staff stood by our table, looked around then went back to the kitchen to ask where it belonged. Asked for dessert menu yet no one came to take our order. After half hour I asked for the Bill and I pointed out that we would have had dessert had it been followed up. The young man did come back and offer us a free dessert to take home, a nice gesture but as I said it should not have come to that so I refused the offer. In my view there were at least 5 or 6 staff on but they dont pay attention to detail, they are not watching what stage the diners are at , they are not attentive. Two ladies on the table near us finished their meal and sat for ages with the dirty plates in front of them.
