The best restaurants in Tarleton West Lancashire North West

What a great find. We came for an early tea as we were going to an event. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and we were given a very warm welcome. The service was perfect and the pasta was the best I’ve tasted for years. Really flavourful, delicate and piping hot. Followed by scrummy ice cream. Even a perfect pot of tea, and that’s rare these days. Prices extremely reasonable. Definitely one to visit again. Thanks to the chef and lovely staff.

Collected a take away this evening and the food was great and the staff all really friendly.

Good food and service

Ordered for the first time, had a lamb tikka jalfrezi and garlic rice with a garlic chilli naan, must’ve been by far the best curry I’ve had in a long time, great flavour, great spice, everything was hot when delivered, see you again soon 🙏🏼

Shocking. Normally go to Mr Chips, but decided to try Tarleton Takeaway on a reccomendation. Chips, tasteless and undercooked - portions, tiny. Curry sauce, bland and watered down. 1/4 burger like cardboard and so small. I understand that times are tough for small businesses, but that's more reason to ensure you're providing value for money. Safe to say that Mr Chips will keep our business, going forward.

Another visit to Sweeps did not disappoint, I took all the family . Great food , great service in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. I really don’t know why a bother trying out other local eateries , they are never as good as the Sweeps experience and we always end up going back there .

Lovely cafe in a lovely village. Staff are so friendly and very helpful as I was on crutches. And they do breakfast all day!. Liked it so much we went twice while my friend visited.

The restaurant website menus were all disabled except for the Christmas menu. No worries, it has a good selection. Arriving at 6pm Sunday it was already busy but not full. We were soon shown to a table in a pleasant dining area. Large table, lots of room. So far so good. We elected to have the traditional Christmas dinner. The service was fast so all items must have been available ready to serve. I admit to being underwhelmed when it arrived, the turkey was in thin round slices so looked processed though probably wasn’t? The ‘pigs in blankets’ were pig in blanket and a piglet at that. My wife’s piglet was devoid of bacon. Stuffing was a tiny round sat on the meat. What I thought was cranberry sauce was a 4 tiny berry garnish. The real disappointment though were the vegetables. They came on a small side dish - to share! We’ve been told spouts had a bumper crop this year but I got two HALVES of a sprout! Oh dear. A few sliced carrots and parsnips completed the veg on the plate. Roast potatoes were quite nice though could have been warmer. Gravy was already oh the plates. No gravy boat or vessel provided. The whole thing had the look of an economy version of a Christmas dinner, but at 17 quid plus it’s not cheap! The deserts though were good quality and generous portions so a nice finish. Service was patchy and we had to gee it along from time to time though they were quite busy to be fair. All in all though it was so uninspiring, almost perfunctory, though I know it’s tough work in restaurants this time of year this is a rather poor standard and makes me glad Christmas Day will be at home.

Bar staff dismissive, food was all deep fried and tasted over cooked - we had the small plates. Atmosphere a little dead, tables felt sticky. Such a shame as the village needs a great reasonably priced pub!

Super breakfast, gorgeous coffee, smashing service in gorgeous surroundings. What a lovely gem. We will be back very soon, love Debbie, Wend and Sarah xxx
