The best restaurants in West Lancashire North West

We had a family meal for my Mum’s 80th on Sunday. There were over 40 of including children. I’d like to thank the staff for their care and attention during the meal, and the great food.

Extremely greasy. Cold chips. Tough chicken. Soggy pitta due to grease. Not much sauce. Wouldn’t order again.

Lamb fatty/chewy, tikka massala too sweet, I'm sure the chapati was just a tortilla wrap straight out the packet. Wouldnt have it again

My Uncle John's favorite place. Home away from home. Many thanks to all his amazing friends. He loved coming to the Kings for a pint. Don't be surprised if you see him in the shadows, just raise you glass and give him a cheers!

Gorgeous beer garden by a canal. You can enjoy the long boats sailing past and the ducks when the weather is good. The chef was kind and went out of his way to prepare food for my dietary requirements at an event where he didn't have prior warning. It is always warming when people don't make you feel isolated or like an inconvenience for dietary needs. Would go back.

Visited today at 10.00, asked for two sausage barms to be rudely told we only have one sausage. Breakfast is apparently served until 11.30. It was not the fact there was only one sausage left, but rather the customer service, which was quite frankly poor. Last week my son was screamed at for walking on the floor when a member of staff was sweeping. The staff need to be mindful that its the customers who ultimately pay their wages, no customer- no job. Very disappointed

First time at the Eagle and Child. Proper country pub and atmosphere. Service was great and served with a smile and they all had a personality. Food was fantastic, best meal out in months. Can't wait to come back

Great place, really enjoyed the visit. The service was excellent.

Purchased from them many times. Always a fast delivery time, friendly delivery staff, and when I waited a little longer than normal on valentines (understandable) the main chef delivered my order personally. Honestly couldn’t fault, highly recommended and my go to place every time. Brilliant service, good prices, and excellent food. If I could give 10 stars, I would.

Food was late and cold and the drinks we ordered weren’t delivered substitute ones delivered without asking which are no good to us due to dietary restrictions

We have been before and have thoroughly enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. So having raved to friends about The Hesketh arms we took them today. Atmosphere was drab, everywhere very cold, fire not lit and a very chilly dining area. Service as ever was wonderful, food was dreadful, changes on the menu since last time we visited. 2 of our group had fish pie, they renamed it fish soup with a pastry crust. Whilst packed with fish it was so watery inside a spoon was needed to eat it. My Steak and Guiness pie sounded very inviting on a chilly day outside and almost as cold inside. The pie arrived full of meat with a small jug of gravy, the gravy was tasteless, watery and really not the standard I expect from the Hesketh. Fish goujons were ok, tartare sauce wasn’t. I used to love the tartare sauce we used to be served with last year. Vibrant colour and truly a great taste. Not this one. Dessert Fudge was horrendously sweet, hard and shattered when try to eat an eve with the dessert for supplied. When eating it just disintegrated into thousands of sugary particles, sorry that wasn’t fudge. More like a sugar cube!!! This is all constructive crisis, we love the Hesketh Arms. Always obey and inviting with amazing food. Such an embarrassing visit with friends. Not the standards we’ve enjoyed before.

Have to agree with others about slow service. Typical Tuesday pre-lunch and we waited half an hour for two drinks from the fridge and two slices of cake - not exactly difficult things! Doubt I would come back, consequently.

We went on a busy Christmas holiday Monday Lunch. The place was booming and Had a lovely bright atmosphere put out by the staff. It was my work Christmas lunch and we had a wonderful time. The food was amazing, recommended the steak pie and the shepherds pie by the waitress and it was well worth it. The wait for the food even though it was very busy was reasonable for both starters and mian meals and the staff were very attentive. We highly recommend this sweet country pub with its lovely array of food and beers it has a lot of potential to be a good local for drinkers and eaters in the future.

Why doe's Booths fresh breads look so lovely and always smell and taste like cardboard I should really go to a proper bakery I guess

Fish dinner. It all intermingled into a wet mess creating Soggy batter. The women in the background talk shouting like 10 seagulls chasing a sandwich was massively annoying. Won’t be back
