The best restaurants serving British food in North West

This used to be a lovely place but has really gone downhill. The building needs tlc to say the lest and on our last two visits the service has been poor. Won’t be going again.

Poor roast dinner... Beef was so tough could barely cut it. Sprouts were hard as was the cauliflower cheese. Red cabbage and carrots were nice.

We had a really lovely meal & all staff especially Maddie T was very helpful from start to finish & will def be going again soon :)

This chippy has gone down hill massively over the past couple of years. Has it changed ownership? The chips were tasteless and the fish no better. The place looks like it could do with a good clean too. Living in Cheshire, I have always recommended this place to friends but won’t be any longer until improvements are made.

Visited the Foxhall to eat and have a couple of drinks. Reasonably priced, pub food, that we enjoyed. Debbie was great, run off her feet at the bar, but still took the time to make sure we were looked after. Great service from Debbie!

Where out buying some parts for a tractor in the same village of Levens. We arrived early, arriving a 11.40, and they dont serve food until noon so we had coffee to start and our orders were taken at 12. I noticed while waiting that the had a "Pie of the Day", which today was Steak, Kidney and mushroom filling. My friend and I both ordered the same, it was an unexpected experience. Beautiful light pastry and filled with "proper" stewing steak, beef kidney and button mushrooms, with an assortment of vegetables. To go along with the friendly service which made it a lovely experience. Thank you to the staff at the gilpin bridge Inn. Later in the year I will return.

The members of staff were appalling, there was a wake taking place and the owner of the establishment began screaming at a delivery driver calling him a C***. I have never experienced such foul behaviour before. They should really be ashamed.

The quality of the food on our visit in Feb was outstanding. Between us we ordered soup , scone, lamb hot pot and wild mushroom stroganoff. All dishes were freshly cooked and offered really good value for money compared to a lot of other establishments in the Lakes. It was little wonder the place was packed and we had to wait for a table.

Came here a few months ago and the food was not great. Thought I would give it another go but I will not be back again! Food was below average and barely warm. Cheap but certainly not cheerful!

Helpful in changing our booking to the following evening, but when we arrived on time at 7pm they had almost run out of food so we had to go elsewhere.

Food horrible. Poor fish was killed for nothing, no seasoning, quite terrible really. Wouldn’t go again. The woman working gave me a dirty look when I took an extra fork in case my original broke, bare in mind the forks were flimsy pieces of wood. She also asked me to pay 25 pence for a fork which is ridiculous. Would never go again. Clevely’s trip ruined.

My husband and I have been organising regular outings for our local U3A whereby we run monthly coach trips and we have done so since 2018. On Tuesday 12th March 2024 we arranged a coach trip for 57 people to Samlesbury Hall and Clitheroe. This included having a guided tour and lunch at Samlesbury Hall. I had booked this outing in the latter months of 2023. We paid £8 each for the tour and £16 each for the lunch. For the lunch I had ordered soup and a roll, a selection of pastries and tea/coffee. In addition three weeks before our visit I submitted dietary needs for four of our members. This included a person who was requiring gluten free food. On the day of our visit the lunch was appalling in terms of the quality and quantity of food and it was certainly not worth the £16 each we had paid. The soup was not hot, it was over spiced and small in content. This came with one very small roll. Whilst some members did make some complimentary remarks over the soup it was classed as ‘dreadful’ by the vast majority of our members. Some people asked for a second roll and were informed that you can only have one! You would have thought the chef would have the experience of knowing that not everyone likes over spiced soup. When I ordered the pastries I was informed we would receive a selection of Danish pastries. On the day we received one croissant each. This cost us £6.00 each. This was followed by tea and coffee which we had to serve ourselves from thermos flasks at a central point. This was chaotic with people carrying hot drinks along with the croissant which we also had serve ourselves. When I complained the following day I was informed the soup was the standard they always serve in their restaurants and it was tested for taste etc before it was served. In relation to the selection of pastries I was informed they had received an incorrect delivery on the day and there was nothing they could do about it so they served us with a croissant each. In addition the member who required gluten free was not served with any appropriate food relating to her dietary needs. After complaining they agreed to reduce the overall cost to £12 each and informed me that they could not reduce this any further as they would be making a loss! They did however reduce the cost to £10 for the one person was required gluten free. In summary, an appalling lunch and still being ‘ripped off’ at £12 per person.

One of the worst food experiences in Blackpool. They charged me £15.50 for a small, burnt burger on an oversized, stale bun. It was that dry the bun fell apart like clay. I also got wings but they were burnt to the bone too. Demanded my money back and the rude bar man didn’t even argue because he looked at the food and agreed it didn’t look edible. Never eat at this place

£17 for a bacon sandwich, sausage sandwich and 2 teas ! Waited 30 mins for the order and watched serving staff clean the bristles of a floor brush behind the bar. When asked where my order was I was told "oops sorry I forgot it"! When the sandwiches arrived they were awful, overcooked, tasteless and tired.

El servicio es increíblemente malo. Sentado aquí ahora después de esperar media hora para que nos sirvan dos cafés. Niños despistados sirviendo y claramente sin gestión. Cafés originales derramados y ni idea de dónde están los reemplazos. Evita como la plaga.
