The best restaurants in North West

£17.50 for 2 halves of lager, a bottle of none alcoholic beer and a vodka and soda water is absolutely ridiculous!! We won't be going again!

Helpful staff, great atmosphere.

Poor choice of beer and even the Guiness isn't that good which is surprising for an Irish pub If you are not fussy on beer then good price on happy hour at least and staff are friendly

Called in on sat nice couple of pints And Ronnie made a new friend

Short Story: We went to Koko Bento in Lancaster for the first time today and had a really awful experience. Everything was normal, the service was nice and the restaurant was pretty quiet (went at 17.30pm ish). We were shown to our table by waitress no.2 and left to pick our food. When looking at the menu, we noticed that it specified if the chicken dishes had thigh meat. So my husband chose the "Mochiko Chicken Curry" because he really doesn't like thigh meat (makes him feel sick). When the mains arrived, he took a bite and said that it was definitely thigh meat and that he couldn't eat it. He flagged waitress no.1 and said to her that he was really sorry, but the main was chicken thigh meat and that he couldn't eat it, so please could he send it back and get another main. Waitress no.1 said that because he had ordered it and didn't ask about the meat, that it was his fault. My husband repeated again he was sorry, but he couldn't eat the food so could he change meal. Then waitress no.1 went and asked waitress no.2 (who was downstairs) who said it was our fault and that the ingredients were already used so he had to pay for the food he couldn't eat plus a new main. We said politely that this wasn't right and that we wouldn't pay for the main that my husband didn't eat. The other waiter then brang my main (which was good and I thanked him) and saw that it was getting a bit heated and he tried descalate the situation which we thanked him for. Waitress no.1 then rang the manager who wasn't in and tried to make us speak to this manager over the phone (while I was eating my main), which was pretty rude and inappropriate. After my husband said he didn't want to talk to a manager over the phone and that again he wouldn’t be paying for food he didn't eat - we were left alone by the waitresses. When I finished my main, we went downstairs to pay the bill.  Waitress no.2  was at the till and asked if we were going to pay for "everything" in an annoyed tone. And we calmly said we wanted to pay but wouldn't pay for the mochiko chicken curry that wasn't eaten. She then began to argue at us that it was our fault, didn't we know this was a business, we should pay because they had wasted ingredients, etc, in a raised voice, which was very unprofessional. We again said that yes, we could have double-checked about the chicken in the dish, but as it wasn't eaten that we categorically weren't paying for it but were happy to pay for everything else. She then told us to take a seat because she was ringing the police. We said that was fine and sat down at the counter and waited. The call went on for a few minutes before she ended it and walked back to the till and said we could pay now. The till has a screen where you can see the order items and the total bill. We could see she had taken off the mochiko chicken curry, and we paid the bill. My husband asked. "So the police said that you couldn't force us to pay then?". Waitress no. 2 then began to raise her voice at us, saying the same spiel that she had said before she rang the police. My husband said let's just leave it and go and told her she was being really unprofessional and that it was wild that she had tried to get us arrested over a dish we didn't eat. As we left the restaurant, she shouted that we were pathetic and told us don't come back. I said, "Don't worry, we won't ever come back" (sort of laughing because I was so taken aback and shocked by her behaviour to customers). She then tried to mock me as we walked out of the restaurant. I'm posting this to let other people know that this could happen to them if they don't like a dish they've ordered at Koko. We obviously won't be coming back, and it's a real shame that this was how the restaurant handled this as it was our first time eating there. It could have been sorted really easily, but that's not how it played out, unfortunately, and we ended up having a horrible time when we wanted to go for a nice meal together. I've attached a picture of the end of our meal, showing that my husband didn't touch his food. Thanks

They hosted my cousins 60th birthday party. The staff are fantastic, couldn't do enough for us. My husband is a fussy eater and they even made him a plain ham sandwich as he doesn't like sauces, mayo, nachos etc. Lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Good village pub with proper beer. Popular with walkers and dogs.

1st time we have been to this fantastic restaurant.....went with our very close friends & we all agreed 5* all round from entering to leaving...the restaurant is lovely & meticulously clean, the staff are extremely attentive but not overwhelming....the food out of this world & we all had something completely different.... I'm vegetarian & my food was beautiful presented beautifully, hot & served at the same time..... thankyou very much to all the staff 😀 cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough.... India 81 was recommend to us & I'm so glad we've been... Padiham has a little jewel in the centre.... go visit you won't be disappointed at all.....

We popped in expecting the food to be OK, but it was amazing, possibly the nicest chicken kebab ever! Lamb good too. Salads, houmous etc. all home made and delicious. Staff very pleasant, all in all an unexpectedly great dining experience in Hazel Grove, would recommend.

Been itching to try out Jenny’s Place since I moved to Sale as I love a good fry up but Jenny’s left me a little miffed. I looked at the menu and thought I’d have the large breakfast and even pay the extra 80p for scrambled eggs as I’m not the biggest fan of fried eggs, along with an orange juice. Went up to order and pay and was asked if I wanted a glass and ice with the small bottle of orange juice he pulled from the front. I was startled that a glass wasn’t just a given and just said no thanks in shock, then waited for the food to arrive. It came very quickly, I have to say but then there were only 3 others in there. Straight away I noticed the egg was fried and not scrambled… but I was too tired to say anything in such a quiet place. The meal itself was a bit sub par. The sausages, whilst not the cheapest, were a bit naff and I have never seen black pudding sliced thinner than a £1 coin before. The bacon was good and the toast was lightly toasted as I like it but think my wife would have said it’s too pale if she’d been there. So overall not the worst fry up I’ve ever had but seems to be not the best I’ve had in Sale so far.

This has to be the best chippy around always fresh and hot and the best gravy I’ve had from any chippy so worth the travel from fallowfield and the staff are always so nice and friendly

Amazing food, amazing service, Matilda needs a pay rise, I've never seen anyone work so hard in my life, she's a human machine with a lovely personality! A lovely front face to a lovely and hard working business!

Good Italian, not expected here in the small one. City. Food is great, service is also great. We were there with 7 people, reservation is better, the restaurant was very busy

forgot the prawn crackers... but was soon rectified 👌
