The Chequered Flag Cafe Ltd in South Ribble

Just started a new job in the area and being a big Starbucks fan thought great this will do. Of all the Starbucks iv been in this is without doubt the worse. Iv given it the benefit of the doubt but if you want to know how bad a latte can taste then go to this one. Todays was as bitter as you can get the beans tasted burnt and the milk was to hot. The staff are stressed and just can’t wait to get rid of you. The cup is never full but you woudent mind that if it tasted right but it never does well mine hasn't. Don’t know if the staff go through the testing process on the machine to check the coffee taste before they start work but it looks like they don’t. Iv move on now and I would advise you to do the same.

Was my first time in England and really wanted a coffee I don’t usually drink another drinks because I have lactose intolerance in S. Korea don’t usually have free lactose milk so that is why thinking in that I ordered Americano with extra 2shots (5 total) but I couldn’t even taste the coffee was just like water with dark color so I add extra 2 shots and finally it tasted as coffee 😂 and the cookie super dry… as barista this is an insult 😤😂

Nothing wrong with the staff as they are very friendly .Feel sorry for them starbucks has put there prices up every 3 months for the last year and a half cut there brownies and other stuff into 4 small square pie es rip off it disgusting how they can get away with this .I don't come as much now and as prices have gone up again by 25p a time I won't be co.ing as much again .starbucks wants to be ashamed of themselves for doing this .

Ordered today at half 3, order came at 5. Cookie dough was cold and had spilt everywhere. The worst cookie dough I’ve eaten, I only had 3 spoon fulls before throwing it away.

As the Old Oak is under new management and myself and partner were both home for a change, we thought it would be nice to pop in for lunch in our dinner break. Only being 5 minutes away we thought we would easily have time. We ordered a burger and a soup at 12:40 and by 13:20 there was still no sign of it - as I had to be back at work in 10 minutes we had to ask for a refund. We were told it was due out in 5 minutes but we simply had no time left. 45 minutes wait in a pub with only 2 other tables being served is unacceptable. A real shame as we were keen to support a local business and would have looked forward to going more often. As it is we won't bother again and it looks like the same story as with all the previous owners. Gave one star as the person behind the bar was polite and friendly and gave the refund with no issues.
