The best restaurants serving British food in North West

The staff are so friendly. We love the table we got from them. Definitely purchase something again.

First camping trip pub we ever went into back in 93 aged 18. Sad to see it closed today. Major rebuild in progress and will be I recognisable. So I'll never see how it was again.

Doncha just love the word “Brossen”? Means fit to burst after a meal, in the local slang. And, whilst you might love the name, doncha just hate it when you’re the only customers in a restaurant. It means there’s zilch atmosphere and no-one else’s food to weigh up when it’s being brought to their table. Well, that was it on a Monday evening in the town centre – the only other occupied tables were just finishing off and waiting to pay as we sat down at 7.30. It’s a nice, modern room which starts its day as the Inn on the Square’s breakfast room (also available to non-residents) before becoming a “proper” restaurant as the day goes on. It’s bright, furnished in what I suppose is a Scandi style (think posh IKEA) with good sized tables , nicely spaced apart so, if anyone else had been there, they wouldn’t be ear-wigging your conversation. As suggested by the restaurant name, the menu is meat heavy and vegetarians will struggle to find much choice. But, for we omnivores, there’s plenty to go at. We both chose the same starter – a Cumbrian rarebit. Two thick slices of toast, topped with a proper rarebit. Cumbrian ale mixed with Torpenhow organic cheddar (from all of 13 miles away), with an onion and black garlic relish. It’s really nice. One of us did order steak as a main course . Well, I suppose one of you has to as you’re in a steakhouse. A flat iron accurately cooked as requested, but a tad lacking in flavour. It comes with a nicely griddled half of Little Gem and some roasted cherry tomatoes. And fries, of course. A chicken burger was loaded up with all sorts of stuff – chillies, onion, tomato, avocado and more of that organic cheddar. It comes with fries and a crisp onion ring. Only one of wanted dessert. Yes, that’d be me. A lovely blackberry and apple crumbel, with its own little jug of custard. It might have been the best dish of the evening. Service throughout had been attentive. Now, you might say that, as the only customers, it really should be attentive. But the guy was good and I’m sure he’d still do the business even when busy. On the dot of 8.30, there was an almighty crash. It was the shutters coming down in the kitchen. Yes, they were done for the evening and so were we.

Ordered a mixed grill the food was cold eggs were crispy round the edge and raw and snotty on the top no black pudding but when pointed out was bought to the table but was raw inside won't be coming again for food

Best food ever! The guys are always so lovely and friendly.

I’ve been to the Thatto heath shop 3 or 4 times now, I only ever get fish chips and peas, although the fish is good and tasty and the chips are just chips nothing hard to get them right really ! What really bugs me is the size of the portions, the chips are a small shallow level tray full, the cod is one of the smallest pieces of fish I’ve ever seen served in a chippy, the mushy peas come in a equally mean shallow container, like I said the quality was good but it doesn’t justify price being charged, it was 30p short of £10 , ok fish is expensive , but chips are supposed to be “cheap as” it would be very expensive chippy tea for a average sized family.

I can honestly say this place is awful Food cardboard, Manager ignoring us and unhelpful insulting and outright awful to us both!! Smelled rotting wood. Waited a whole hour for food! Never in my life have i said how bad a hotel was until now! I REPEAT! DO NOT GO HERE EVER!!

Good Friday stopped by for a family take away; fish & chips. Very good quality fish and chips with good sized portions. As always fair on price and wonderfully hot food; thank you!
