The best restaurants in North West

Feel very lucky to have stinky chef in Rawtenstall! Quality ingredients, quality menu, quality people.

Great coffee, cake and ice cream visit. Everything we saw delivered to other people looked great, we regretted having had breakfast already. Lovely staff. Beautiful location, and handy when visiting Townsend.

We have visited Vinesteins so many times and have never been disappointed. The food and the wines are fabulous, Austin is a great host and has given something very special to Rochdale . We were there last night to enjoy the pasta offer that is currently on , absolutely delicious and a great price. We would and do highly recommend paying a visit . Looking forward to our next one . Love the place

This was our second visit and won’t be our last. This time we shared a deshi breakfast, some salt & pepper chicken and some little lentil filled puffs. All was gorgeous but those little puffs were the absolute best thing. So light and flavourful

Hands down the best Roast meats Hong Kong style in the north of England, the little beauty is hidden away in Preston, Lancashire. The roast is done daily and is the best tasting duck and belly pork I’ve eaten in a long time. The belly pork is so crispy that if you have any leftover and take home, should you microwave it to reheat ( oven reheating is best) it is still crispy, doesn’t go soggy like majority of belly pork from restaurants all over the uk. The duck has authentic marinade that makes it mouth watering, they serve many HK delicacies that you can try, ranging from inards to fresh vegetables… the menu is great, the place is more like a cafe and has limited seating, they are constantly full all day everyday so advance booking is recommended. You know is good food when orientals done there, I kid you not, everyone eats there…. I travel 90 minutes by car just to sample the goods…. Definitely worth the drive even if motorways close and force you to detour to get home… amazing place, run by amazing couple… so kind and generous….. this is in my top 5 places to eat within the uk… big thumbs up

What a lovely little place! I cannot fault the service and the lovely staff members here! I am not vegan personally but the food and drinks were delicious! I wouldn’t have known any different until I realised every food and drink item was vegan! Definitely be travelling to Southport again to have my lunch here!

Some of the best food I have ever had, and it is in Blackburn, of all places. To be honest Blackburn has got some great little restaurants, and everyone is very friendly. I have never had a poor dish, the quality is out of this world. Thank you, and I'll see you soon.

Had another delicious lunch here. The pananis were really good and the steak salad was just delicious tender steak and a tasty salad of lots of tasty things. Staff are so nice and really helpful they are more than happy to swop things out if you want. Highly recommend this place.

An absolute gem! This small family run business makes everything from scratch and you can tell!! Amazing pizza dough and the toppings are perfect. Service is great too!

Having been given a voucher for this cruise as a gift, we weren't sure what to expect. My husband made the booking over the phone and immediately commented on how friendly and helpful the lady was who helped with our booking. We turned up on a very frosty morning and stood viewing the ice on the water! We were boarded at 11.45 and shown to our allocated table. The boat was duly decked out with Christmas decorations and for the whole cruise we were regaled with Christmas songs. The food (which we had ordered from the menu prior to the cruise) was really delicious and we considered ours to be ample portions. Above all, the service was amazing and the staff worked tirelessly. It appeared that everything ran like clockwork and at the end of the cruise we considered it a lovely way to spend about 3 hours. The price paid was really good value for money and this canal cruise is now firmly on our 'To Do' list for 2020.

Very nice friendly service, very accommodating staff, even opened 10 minutes early to serve us coffee while we were in the area (also the coffee was really nice too) Back soon!

First time at the Fry Inn and it was very impressive. Tastiest and freshest Thai food ever eaten from a takeaway. In fact I would say it was best Thai food I’ve eaten in Lancashire. Well done to the brilliant chef and the Fry Inn for having such high standards. Please trust the spice ratings as the 7 was really hot! Thank you

Mimi and Andrea run an excellent cafe in Hollingworth. The food is good and the atmosphere relaxing. It's that classic little getaway when the world feels like it's almost too much. Definitely one to try. Dan

Great place to take a new friend . Cuisine probably the best in Cheshire, Great Ambience, excellent & correct service, friendly but not familiar nor intrusive. Cold do with better signage to restaurant car parking
