The best restaurants in Samlesbury and Walton South Ribble North West

Went to try to get lunch on a Friday, was stood waiting in eyeline of a member of staff, for several minutes with no response, then to eventually be told "we aren't serving food right now", no explanation on why, or when service would resume, if it was an issue, or I just needed to wait 5 minutes, etc. It's a shame as usually the food is excellent, but my last visit was very poor, and prompted us to eat elsewhere.

Stayed here whilst we went to a wedding close by at the medieval hall nearby. The check in was swift and easy. Bed was very nice and comfortable. The highlight for us was the all you can eat breakfast next morning. You could have cereal or full English breakfast all very nice.

We decided on a chicken burger meal each from the website along with a garlic bread and cokes- all via Just Eat. The website is fairly extensive which should suit most tastes. You can pay with most major cards via Just Eat. Fair enough it all arrived within the fairly short stated time frame by a smart friendly delivery driver and piping hot too. The meal itself was " okay" and had to be said filled a gap. Chips weren't too bad although the garlic bread gave the necessary carbs on its own. I don't think this takeaway deserves a 5 star rating although in comparison to the other national competitors like Dominoes Darione is a lot better. Would we order again? Yes of course!

went for sunday lunch today, food wasn’t great at all, nothing was fresh seemed microwaved really poor for what we paid. kids wouldn’t even eat their chicken nuggets they where brown inside, won’t be going again

We visited this restaurant for the first time before we went to the cinema next door. We both had garlic bread, one plain and one with tomato. Mine with tomato was lovely except the middle was a bit undercooked. My partner had the chicken and chorizo paella which he said was just OK. I had the spaghetti bolognese which was tasteless and bland; really disappointing. Strangely we had to pay by bank transfer to a personal account which felt a bit dodgy to be honest. And the manager sits in a corner with his beady eye on everyone. Don't expect we will visit again.

Nice small friendly pub, not much food options some not available, small portions and long wait. Food was tasty just not enough of it

Bit late reviewing but I went for my 40th in February. As my Dad was unwell we couldn't travel very far Only a couple of other tables in and a limited menu but absolutely no complaints at all. Had a lovely meal, didn't need any more choice. All the staff were lovely. Really enjoyed it and glad we went

Nipped in for lunch with my boyfriend recently and loved it. Fantastic meal will definitely be back! Beth was lovely and very welcoming. Thank you!

This place gone down to the hill, used to be one if the best place now one of the worse one around. Will never gonna go back, foods running out no topping up, asked few times totally ignored, paid for the drink again no topping up after finishes, pakkura was oili.

Always amazing food! Had to wait a bit longer tonight as they were run off their feet- they put up with so much abuse which was unnecessary and put them under more pressure. They were apologetic and worked as fa etc as they can, the food was spot on as always! 🌟

Handy stop just off the M6. Friendly and helful service, well stocked ingredientsand plenty of seating. Recently refurbished services so it's in great condition.

We have had the most loveliest of days here today! We had coffees, tea and ice cream and my son loved hooking ducks in the fountain. The lady who runs this place was an absolute diamond! She was so friendly, very attentive and just gave an extra special feel to our visit! Thanks so much and can’t wait to return.

The Garden restaurant was not particularly easy to find. Reasonable menu but service was not great. Our 3 cakes came in stages and not together. No drinks arrived until we had nearly finished eating. ( Normally drinks would always come first ) I queried this but the waitress just said they would arrive soon. Not impressed.

Every time I order they forget to bring out the sauce and I don't think the food is fresh.

This 'establishment is terrible. How it exists as a food & a beverage destination and under the banner of hospitality is a miracle. I cant describe the chaos and mishaps along the way with our experience. The menu didn't come any where near the menu on the web site that originally tempted us too book. We were told "oh yes we know it. is a mistake". To add insult to injury after our very very average meal we asked why the table next to us had what appeared to be a better menu it was explained they had the Christmas menu. Asked why we weren't offered we were told you didn't order it. We showed the them that our menus that didn't have a Christmas menu in it; so then it was just a shrug and "Oh dear, it was just a mistake"!! We were told there was no wine menu with no beer. How on earth this establishment survives and how customers tolerate this substandard service is beyond me and my guests. Even prebooking was terrible the web site assured me they would confirm my booking with in 24 hours and I spent the following day constantly phoning the restaurant to see if my booking was accepted. I could go on as there wasn't single part of our visit that wasn't a shambles. We did feel sorry for on young girl who was completely out of her depth. She was so willing , pleasant and completely untrained. I do hope she finds a better restaurant to work in where her obvious talents for hospitality and be used to a far better advantage. Its no wonder hospitality is struggling to find willing staff when sharks like the owner of the Courtyard Huntley are making a living out of fleecing customers and staff alike. I am perfectly happy to substantiate my review should anyone wish to contact me, especially the owner.
