The Cornerhouse in Lancaster

Even though there were only a couple of real ales on, service was great and the beer quality was good.

Lovely food here just the sticky toffee pudding could do with 2 scoops of ice cream

Had a lovely night at the corner house with my partner service was so quick food and drinks where outstanding staff were so lovely they had a lady singing which was nice I’d recommend it!! We got the bolognaise and cabanara 🍝

Not the best. Very expensive and the food is not that good

Great food and service, we will return.

Large table booked meeting some friends, starters getting cooked before we'd even sat down, staff nice but constantly asking if we'd finished despite me having bang bang cauliflower hanging out of my mouth, live music drowning out nearly all the conversation, luckily we're all loud, was waiting for them to start spraying and cleaning the table mid main....rushed...we had a child so we had to leave by 10pm which was fine but the constant rushing because Barry the chef had started cooking our food just soured it all a bit, the doughballs were nice.

First time here, friendly staff

It was lovely the staff were brilliant 👏 I would recommend it to all my friends and family

Went in during their happy hour with price of a fillet steak reduced from £28 to £18 . Read revues of place which seemed quite positive . See picture of the *fillet steak* i got served and no i hadn't eaten any of it before i took the picture. I can understand that a restaurant might reduce the size of its steaks during happy hour but to serve a customer that as a fillet steak is embarrassing . No self respecting chef would put that out as a fillet . The rest of the food was ok nothing special but they also got an ordered item wrong and served a salmon fillet instead of the ordered linguini. Didn't bother complaining at the time as was out on a family evening out and didn't want to spoil it but certainly won't be going back to Cornerhouse Lancaster

Always good for drinks on a weekend with live music/DJ. Drinks aren't expensive, not eaten here for a while but previous meals have been lovely

Food was lovely and staff were great

Great food and drinks only dried a point for the waiting on staff

Good food and friendly staff, there was a good atmosphere although a little noisy for me as I wear hearing aids but overall a lovely place to eat

First visit here,will be back again.Very impressed with very reasonable prices

Starters and desserts were great. BUT, the burger was quite bland and very small. The menu stated a double stack burger, turned up with a single patty, I asked the waiter and was told they had changed the burger to a single larger patty (not large at all). Either way, they said they would do a double but all they did was cut it in half and double stack it. Service was ok when we eventually got to order. Probably overrun with graduation week but stop trying to rip off customers. This is NOT an £18 burger and fries....

A day trip to Lancaster with 22 members & carers of my adult autism charity. We were all seated together for lunch at the Cornerhouse. Delicious food, very friendly & helpful staff, relaxing atmosphere and would definitely visit again.

The staff were incredibly friendly and such a laugh. My friend's steak looked delicious and my fish n chips were beaut! Decent portions and prices, amazing drinks list including cocktail range..... the espresso martini 🤩 highly recommended. There was live music playing. Its split between bar area and the restaurant so you can go just for drinks if desired. Great atmosphere and pretty aesthetics, decent bathrooms too. Also!! Bonus points its so easy to split the bill paying at the bar, either splitting evenly or paying per item. That may seem normal but not that common to places I've been before in the area x

A decent bar for a drink outside but nothing special.

Good food and service but made the mistake of visiting on a Saturday evening so bar noise travelled through to dining area. Would still recommend.

9 of us enjoyed a great happy hour birthday meal

Nice food, great atmosphere, staff were friendly

Bolognese was terrible, the pizza and garlic bread was average

Great food, well presented and very tasty. Several menu choices highlighted cheaper at happy hour which is between 12-2pm every day! Buy 2 large glasses wine & get the rest of the bottle free! Absolutely recommend.

Great food and atmosphere for middle age. Live music from Thursday to Sunday

Visited as a group of 15, and wow, if you like rude patronising waiters, this is the place for you! The food was average, the sticky pudding was a bit like concrete, we sent one back, and the one that came out was just as bad. We had mostly preordered, and staff brought out dishes and said the wrong thing multiple times, e.g., cheesecake (was actually tiramisu), of course it was not the staffs fault. The bald waiter was incredibly rude and patronising throughout, I suspect he thought he was funny, but he really wasn't. My first and last visit!

Great experience quality food and a super service. Highly recommended

I wasnt there google made a mistake I was in totally wicked which is important than food for me🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I was shocked on how good the food is here! I didn't expect much but it blew me away

quite disappointed me and my girlfriend have just come for a meal and as we got to our table one of the waiters (bald quite tall glasses around 60) walked over my girlfriends toes who’s just in sliders really hurting her toes and he just walked past didn’t say sorry when he acknowledged he walked on her toes, ordered drinks and food and the food came before the drinks about 20 minutes later so i had to ask him where are our drinks, got our food which is quite average food, ordered another drink from the same guy and he rolled his eyes at me, another 20 minutes later i stil haven’t got my drink, he then comes over and says are we all finished, and i said i asked you for a drink and he said oh yes and went to get me it, overall quite disappointed and very disappointed in the waiter with his service for taking ages getting out drinks when he wasn’t busy at all just wondering around , walking on my girlfriends toes and forgetting that i’ve asked him for another drink.

Do not eat here, calamari was bland, no seasoning whatsoever in the batter and slightly overcooked. The steaks were all not cooked as specified. The pan was clearly not hot enough as no colouration on the steak. However the service was very good from the waitress we had and she tried hard to take care of us. The Chefs are clearly undertrained and lacking in food knowledge.

Food was really lovely. Service was alright but the food took so long to come. We were also told that we had to leave by 1.30. Bowls had a few cracks/chips on them too. Would go back though.

Not impressed on this visit. We were seated and then waited half an hour before someone came to serve us. Drinks, 2 x latte, 1 X flat white, 1 x bottle of still water. All three coffees were served cold. Waitress apologised, explained machine had cost £6000, works ok for a couple of weeks, then serves coffee as we had got. Waitress replaced coffee, but still cold. The waitress explained she had had lots of complaints through the week regarding the coffee. A second waitress came, we asked if our coffees could be warmed in a microwave, but we were told "they couldn't do that, and shd had spoken to her manger, used probes In the coffee and she said it was 70 degrees, which is all it's allowed to be." In my husband's profession domestic hot water is delivered at 60 degrees C and will turn your skin pink. This coffee could barely warm the cup and did not dissolve the sugar. We were thoroughly 'fobbed off' unlike we have had in previous visits. We will think twice before future visits, and our guests would not come here again. Thoroughly disappointed!

We were decorating the trees. Mid week was a nice space for a quiet drink. If you're out and about, make sure you check it out.

Great food and really friendly service. All the staff couldn't do enough for us and were great with our children. Great value food and drinks too. Lovely relaxed atmosphere with 00s tunes playing in the background. 😁

If you want to feel like you’re eating in a night club this is the place. Shocking pizzas - most likely frozen.

We went for drinks with friends and they were really good but it is a bit on the pricier side and if you’re looking for cheap drinks I do not recommend. But the quality of the drinks made it worth it so that’s really nice to see. Will be coming back soon.

The food was decent and reasonably priced but one thing that put me off was the manager rushed us to get up our seats and pay. I had lunch with my daughter to get some fresh air on a weekend, the noise didn’t bother me nor the food as I’m very easy to please but when I came back from the toilet, my daughter told me that the guy manager came up to her and verbalised for us to pay quickly as people are waiting for the table. It’s very unprofessional considering we only dined for half an hour the most. I understand it’s busy but that’s not the right approach to customers. I’m not sure if he’s new but he definitely needs more training especially with his communication skills and customer service. Other than that, all is okay. Matter of fact, our host was fantastic!

I eat here regularly and love the food, especially the pizzas. I'd recommend booking as it does get busy. Service can be a little hit and miss depending on how busy it is and there is one member of staff who needs to work on their customer service as it can be unpredictable. That said, I'd recommend The Cornerhouse for great food, sensible prices and a chilled atmosphere.

Food very average. portion size very small as well

Ate here with family members, 16 in total and everyone had said the food was excellent, as it was New Years Eve the place had a great atmosphere with the Sphere bar next door rocking. Food was great and as it was happy hour the price of the food was cheaper. Service was great and the lady that served us, sorry I didn’t get your name, provided great service too.

On this occasion it was great. But can be hit and miss

It's a shame they let other members of the public into the restaurant area. Very hard to eat in peace when people are drunk and arguing at the bar area.

Great food, great atmosphere and family friendly. Loved it 👍

Service is good, pizza and pasta have been excellent on previous visits. The fish and chips were bland and chips undercooked this time. We visited on a Friday night near Xmas, not late, to eat. The music was so loud in the adjacent bar that everyone was shouting over each other. It wouldn't have been too bad, it is Xmas, but the sound system is terrible! Nothing but head splitting bass, you could barely hear what song was playing. Just when you think it can't get worse the DJ cranked it up. We couldn't wait to leave after eating to escape the noise. Not a nice experience! Shame because previous visits have been lovely.

Great food great staff. Very busy today but handled very well. Thank you.

Went has a family of 9 for three course Christmas meal on Saturday 16th September. It had been booked for months. Table wasn’t ready when we sat down we had to ask for glasses (none on table) a cheap white serviette no crackers it looked like any cheap cafe in town. Bland pate no butter for bread. Meat on main course was fine but 2 very small roast potatoes and very burnt parsnips. Cold Xmas pudding! but sticky toffee pudding was nice. This was not value for money at £28 per head very poor. However the staff were lovely. They have changed to only one entrance which has left the restaurant at the back so you have to fight your way in and out through the cocktail bar which was a nightmare. We will not be going back! shame really because we have been going here on and off over many years.

Went just for food,and it didn't disappoint, the food was fantastic and lots of it, service was quick, the staff were excellent, helpful and friendly, I will be going back again

As a party of 11 we had to preorder. This was fine as our food was all ready at the same time. We didn't feel rushed though and the service was really good and the food was hot. There was plenty of choice for all of us from the grandchildren to grandparents.

Went here for my grandsons birthday during happy hour. The food was amazing and a great price and the drinks were a good price too. The waitress Chelsea was brilliant, she made sure we were all ok and had everything we needed and ordered even though they were really busy. Great attention to detail. We will definitely go back and the party of 13 I was in had not one complaint. I highly recommend the peri peri chicken it was lush.

Staff were amazing so friendly and kind! Food is not what the menu is online we were massively disappointed how small the menu was and how much of the things we wanted weren’t even on the menu. Needs updating as I’ve now seen a few complaints about it.

Poop keep away rude rude rude, have met wonderful people in Lancaster, then arrived here, what a unhelpful, rude lot

Went for a date with my partner on a Saturday evening. We booked the Cornerhouse because we thought it looked really good and we were not disappointed. The food was so tasty, especially the carbonara, and at such a reasonable price! The standout, however, was the impeccable service from our waitress, Jasmine. Will definitely be back!

We have been going to this restaurant for over four years unfortunately if it’s a change of management or chef’s I have no idea, on this particular night was not impressed with the food. There seemed to me that their was a general attitude of couldn’t care less I did make a small complaint which fell on deaf ears for what we paid for our meal I expected the food standard to be better so much so I will not be returning.

First time we have been in but what a lovely suprise, we just popped in for one drink,there was a jazz band playing which was a bonus, great atmosphere, great surroundings would definitely go in again

It's situated in the city center and came handy when I wanted to invite some friends for dinner. Overall okay

Far to dark you need your phone torch to read the menu and see your food roast potatoes are rock hard and hollow the meat is like sandwich meat

Good that happy hour is available on Saturdays.

I would like to apologise. I posted a review for the wrong venue (I was thinking of The Crafty Scholar), but we did go here on the same day! Good cocktail deals, and nice lighting! Service was relatively quick.

If you're in Lancaster do your self a favour. Have a steak here 😋 epicurean delight

Everything fab apart from adding a last minute person made a bit too much fuss about adding a chair ect.....

Good food and great drinks and atmosphere

Lovely birthday meal, had the fillet steak, great price on the happy hour menu. Fab service and food quality, cocktails 2-4-1 were fab. Kids enjoyed their carbonaras, definitely visit again and recommend

Excellent food and great value. Nice decor too.
