Lovely atmosphere in here. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was both interesting and tasty. Dog friendly in the bar area too, where you can also eat.

Great specials menu - the chicken supreme was one the best plates of food we’ve had in Lancaster, and we eat out a lot! Dog friendly in part of the inn and good atmosphere and service. Great pint and extensive drinks menu.

Staying nearby, on route to the Lakes. After checking the local eateries, this seemed like a good choice. A lovely pub, with nice décor. Not too busy for the time of year. Quickly seated, and service was lovely. Plenty of checks of requirements and even tempted to a dessert, highly recommended. Mains we're lovely aswell, you can tell good ingredients was used. Not a hungry horse for sure. Would happily visit again if in the area.

We visited the Toll House Inn in Lancaster on 4 September and stayed for 7 nights and we were extremely impressed with everything. It was situated very close to the city centre and having to visit an emergency dentist while we were there we were able to walk for the appointment. It was very good value for the money and I would recommend it highly. The food was out of this world and really w ell cooked and was delivered prompt to our table by really pleasant staff who always had a smile on their faces and were really obliging. In particular Will was most helpful and nothing was too much trouble for him. Also Rob and Olivia were extremely kind and, once again nothing was too much trouble, so these need a pat on the back and a rise! It’s people like these who go unnoticed but make such a difference and they should be proud of themselves for doing such a good job. So well done and thank you for all your help.

Visiting Lancaster with our American relatives. Had the afternoon tea at the Toll House Inn which was fabulous and a bargain for £24 per person. That was so good we booked for Sunday lunch the following day. Amazingly generous and well cooked roast dinner for £18 per person. Our friends said it was the best food of their two week holiday in the UK.

Stayed here overnight plus had dinner on arrival. From first impressions onwards, everything was excellent! The decor of the whole building is a lovely blend of traditional with modern touches, a really sympathetic remodelling of this early 1900s toll house building. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. The carpets throughout the rooms section are incredible soft in that they clearly have top-notch underlay! The bed was large if a little hard, but there were enough pillows and cushions. Enough storage for a night or two but not for a longer stay. There was a kettle and coffee machine with a mini hamper of assorted hot drinks including Horlicks! No fridge, but we were asked if we wanted milk and water when we checked in and the milk came in a flask. Home-made biscuits were also provided, a lovely touch. The bathroom was well equipped with White Company toiletries in what I hope are refilled larger containers. There was a wall-mounted toothbrush charger, brilliant! There was a fan and also an air conditioning unit, although I don’t know if the latter was switched on (we didn’t need it anyway). Despite being right on a major road junction, the room was surprisingly quiet, even with the modern extra glazing open to allow some of the night air in through the (unopenable) old sash windows. Onto food! We had reserved a table for dinner before arriving. The restaurant is spacious and tables are well apart but it has a nice feel. There are a good range of choices on the menu to suit most tastes including vegetarian, possibly vegan, options. My husband had pigs in blankets for his starter(!) which he loved; I had very tasty tempura salt and pepper squid with excellent light batter. For our mains, my husband had the pork chop, which was fine, and I had the absolutely superb Lancashire cheese and onion pie, which was a serious taste revelation! Breakfast the next morning was also very good, with hot food clearly done to order - my scrambled egg was some of the best I have ever had in a commercial setting. A nice large pot of tea for two, which did make two good sized cups each, and a very good indeed fresh fruit pot were the other highlights. All the staff we met were friendly and helpful. There is a lift to the bedroom floors and our room was fully accessible, the bathroom being particularly well done as a full wet room with many grab rails, lower sink and higher toilet. The location is very good, close to the centre and about 10 minutes’ walk to the station. We would highly recommend this hotel!

Stayed the night here to visit son in university, booked evening meal as well. Food was really good quality and service was very good and friendly. Food is clearly freshly cooked, they have a standard menu and then daily specials. One course filled us up, no room for pudding. The room we stayed in was spacious, very clean and comfortable with a large shower room. Breakfast was excellent as well, plenty of choices, I of course went for the full English. If you’re looking for somewhere to stay in Lancaster I would recommend here.

We all had fish and chips, so can’t comment on anything else, albeit the menu is limited, for me, that is my personal choice. The waitress gave us good advice on whether to have the small or large portion. The small portion was more than ample, the fish was beautiful, however, the chips (probably down to quality of potatoes) weren’t good, so left them, didn’t detract from the lovely fish. Would return for the fish.

The welcome was great from Will when we arrived. There was a board with our name in the car park space - please note you need to book one of the 4 spaces beforehand to allow on site parking. The room was well maintained with good facilities and decor throughout although the mattress was way too hard for us. The food in the restaurant is of excellent quality - we had fish and chips and believe me it was good - fish quality, batter very light, chips tasty, good mushy peas. Service in the restaurant was very fast! With dishes being delivered promptly and attentive staff. All in all a great place to stay.

These were our first fish and chips in the British Isles (on this particular trip). They were also the unexcelled standard—and we enjoyed many other efforts. Astoundingly light, clean, and succulent, this fish was extraordinary. We also had the Sunday roast which was generous and luscious. Kind service, though we arrived just before closing. This is a true find and I'm glad for you who are closer to this restaurant than we are (5500 miles away).

A delightful pub to meet friends. Staff kind and did not rush us. Sat in the courtyard it felt like being on holiday in the sun. Somewhere that is on my frequent visit list now its a nice venue. Only downside the womens toilet cubicles so small to get in and no hook for a bag. Also a toilet roll holder would be a nice/essential item I would like to see for next time. But, well worth going to this pub

Randomly came across the Toll House when googling afternoon tea in Lancaster last week. Decided to give it a try for 6 of us on Saturday. We are all glad we did. I can't explain how impressed we were, from the warm welcome, the quality of the food, the variety/freshness, service and the price. We regularly go out as a group of girls for AT and our last trip to a well know spa hotel in Newby Bridge was nothing compared to this, overpriced/generic and pretty poor. We will 110% be back again for food as everything coming out of the kitchen looked delicious!

Greeted by a very friendly member of staff that due to being fully booked I was taken to the beer garden to have a drink while waiting for my friend to come. Table service in the beer garden. The service for drinks was very quick. Was offered to sit in the beer garden to eat which we accepted. Food took a while but it was made to order and oub was busy so we were fine with that. Restaurant and bar very busy but very well spaced out. £5.80 for a large chardonnay. Quite a variety of drinks of wine , beer , gins , cocktail, etc. I ordered the pork belly with braised pork cheek , black pudding mash , crispy kale and a cider and shallot caramel sauce. Usually £14. The menu is quite varied with salads , fish and chips, steak , piec, Thai curry, Indian curry and more so classic pub grub variety. Pork belly was beautiful , the mash was so creamy and the blackpudfing infused with it was a good touch, the kale was very well cooked and the sauce complimented the dish so well. I also had the sweetcorn fritters which were nice enough and different but for me a one time thing. The restaurant is a one way system to keep everyone safe and distancing in toilets, etc was very good.Other reviews on off the eaten track - food and drink reviewer on facebook

This is the seond time me and my partner have eaten here since the re-opening of restaurants after lockdown and both visits have been amazing. I've found some eateries have smaller menu's which is understandable in the current climate however I feel where some lack choice or creativity the Toll House does not. Their signature dishes and burgers are delicious but the seasonal dishes which often change are equally fab and I struggle to choose, which is always a good sign. The service is welcoming and professional too, keep up the good work.

It's never a good sign when the dining room smells of fried food, and this was the case at the Toll House Inn. The crispy beef tacos were very good, apparently, but the chickpea fritters were stodgy and dry. Caesar salad was average, with tasteless chicken but the cheese and onion pie was good. Very large portions, jazz music in the background and no atmosphere - not my thing and would not return.

Came here for lunch and ordered a chicken burger, chicken kebab and children’s meal of chicken and chips. Food was amazing! Very high quality chicken and cooked beautifully. The chicken kebab was made with thigh meat and was succulent and divine. Staff were very welcoming, especially James who came over several times to chat with us and ensure everything was ok with the food.Would highly recommend this place, cosy, welcoming and lush!

The menu is great with loads of tempting choices for a range of people. I found the service frustrating; I had to ask specifically about 10 ten times before they gave me a pint of tap water with no ice. And at the end Id ordered a hot chocolate which came with lots of toppings that weren't offered or mentioned on the menu or in ordering. I don't think I'd go back, despite the food being lovely.

The restaurant is nice but when you order chicken skewers from the main menu and you receive chicken with skin on it’s slightly odd. The bar person then said they was chicken from the thigh, which isn’t mentioned, since when are skewers made from thigh. His reply was it’s his favourite. Basically cheap meat. It was suppose to come with rice and they got that wrong it came with chips, bar person didn’t seem to care about this situation came over a bit rude and for £13.50 for one chicken thigh skewer it’s poor. Such a shame it ruined our meal out tonight.

Spent a wild and woolly Saturday night here at the height of storm Ciara - the triple glazing was amazing - we could see the storm raging outside and the traffic battling through it but we couldn't hear a thing. Two adults and a teenager had a great nights sleep in the super comfy beds. (and our greyhound snored all night in the corner!) Topped off with a lovely breakfast. (recommend the kedgeree) Cant wait to go back.

We called in for meals on Sat night and found the whole experience very pleasant. The staff were friendly and attentive. All 4 of us decided to have steaks which were cooked differently with various sauces. They came reasonably quickly and all 4 were cooked perfectly and the sauces were all excellent.

The best Sunday Roast in Lancaster! The meat was cooked perfectly and the gravy was unreal. Will definitely be returning

This place was not what I was expecting from the outside only goes to show don’t judge a book .... Can’t fault the food or the service at the Toll House we both felt our meals where cooked and presented well. Attentive and friendly service and prices are very reasonable what more can I say !

26 of us ate here on a Saturday night in the lovely private dining area. The atmosphere and service were great. The food was fine. I ate tempura this ravens which were satisfactory - could ha e been a little crispier. I had wrongly ordered the aubergine curry in advance which I regretted when I saw the other dishes coming out. Mine was dry - the others looked much tastier.

Lived in Lancaster for years and have been everywhere else. Fancied something for a change on NYD with family. We went for the Toll House. Well what a good choice. We walked in a little early, not a problem we were greeted and seated by a friendly waiter who took our drinks order. By the time he came back with the drinks(2 mins) the table was ready. We slowly made our way over. The waitress came and asked if we were ready to order. We asked for more time. She fine with that and came back a little later. We ordered our food and it all came at the same time around 14 mins later. Everyone enjoyed their food and there was a large variation in what we ordered. The staff were very helpful and seemed happy. The kids ordered puddings and we had another drink. We weren't rushed at all and played a couple of table games with the kids. The place was busy and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. I saw no complaints or food going back and it all looked as good as ours. The place had a nice vibe. Overall really good. I thanked the head waiter before leaving. He was very appreciative. I would definitely go back.

Visited Lancaster during the October half term. Picked here to eat due to good reviews and we weren't disappointed. The Lancashire cheese and onion pie was delicious and huge! There's a good children's menu too. We all enjoyed our meals but were too full for pudding. The building and decor was lovely too. Would definitely recommend.

Wanted a hotel in town but easy access to university about 2 miles away. This fitted the bill and was a reasonable price. Excellent modern room with great shower, really friendly staff. Decided to eat at hotel and it was full- always a good sign. Great meal at reasonable price. Only issue is parking but that is the same for all the hotels here. Good news is there is one two minutes away. Will stay again

My expectations were not high enough. I was pleasantly surprised at how lovely the room, the staff and the food. I have had a wonderful stay here. I have to recommend the hotpot pudding - it is perfect comfort food but much much better than that. Loved it!

A pleasant small pub with high quality ales, impressively decorated and decent entertainment on the Friday night I visited.

We were staying in a lodge nearby and googled Sunday lunches, this place is in a lovely spot, we parked near the level crossing, had a walk on the beach, over the hill to a cafe on a farm then walked along the canal path. It’s a very old pub, 1500’s? it’s quirky with low ceilings and little private nooks. Sunday roast was excellent as was their apple & raspberry crumble, staff were friendly and prices reasonable. Important to us dog friendly and we treated our pooch to a ‘Woofchester’ fish dinner she wolfed it down. Would recommend.

I can’t believe no one can make a go of this local pub, used to be a bouncing family local under bill since the one failed manager after another it’s disgusting. No kids after 8:30 and dead on a Saturday night it’s a shame punch taverns wrecking another local 😡
