The best restaurants serving British food in North West

Suddenly, there are signs up saying 'No Dogs'. This is a country pub, close to a park popular with dogwalkers. This seems a very backward step.

Very cold I wished I'd worn something warmer. There appeared to be only one lady working bar, taking food orders and serving both areas . There wasn't a lot of customers and after reading that there was a new innovative chef I was surprised there weren't more curious customers. We ordered a roast. I had beef and my husband had lamb. Plenty of meat which was well cooked and tasty. The veg were beyond Al Dente, they were hard, there was a very thin sliver of carrot, some hard batons of parsnip, a piece of hard cauliflower and hard broccoli. There were two very pale and very small " roast " potatoes, a couple of table spoons of mash potato and some tasty gravy . I am the least fussy eater in the world but didn't enjoy this meal . The Yorkshire puddings were nice. Sadly we won't be going back. Very disappointed as we had high hopes .

Excellent lunch on the way to the lake district. Warm friendly reception for humans and dogs. Food was excellent I had the home made steak pie and I can honestly say it's the best pie I've had in a very long time , proper suet pastry and delicious slow cooked steak served with perfectly cooked veg and chunky chips plus extra gravy . My husband had the chicken - bacon salad which was also excellent. Family run pub , great Beer too ! Highly recommended

Encontramos este lugar inesperadamente y preguntó acerca de la comida y si el perro sería permitido. . . . . Que nos informaron de que estaba todo bien. Se admiten perros, en el plomo, en la zona del bar. La señora vino y se presentó y me dijo que soy celiaca y me preguntó si estaba bien para comer. La cocina estaba informado y fue puesto en algunos cosas especiales. La comida estaba riquísima y verduras perfectamente hecho, suficiente y no demasiado cocido. Mi plato de socios se veía genial y antes las verduras llegamos. (tuve un medio) El personal es amable e informativo, también ofrecía agua para el perrito. La clientela era muy amable.

Absolutely outraged by the staff here today on valentines of all days . Came here with a loved one the mrs got spoken to terribly and refused to give our money back. Never again will we come back to this horrific establishment!!

Thank God that this place is closing. The (front of house and waiting on) staff have always been great (attentive, hard-working, friendly), but the Irish "manager" was permanently simply dreadful.

Came here today as a sister date, when we arrived we wasn’t greeted very well and it didn’t seem organised for new comers we didn’t know which way we was going to sit and eat and had to ask 3 different members of staff, we ordered a bottle of wine with a pint of lemonade to share which was £32.50 we then sat down and was immediately approached to ask what we wanted we’d literally just sat down we asked for a few minutes and then was approached again, we both ordered the fillet steak off the menu (nobody thought to tell us that the special was the same but £17 instead of £31.50 plus £2.50 as sauce isn’t included in the meal) whilst half way through ordering the waitress actually asked me to write my own order down (not sure if this was a language barrier as she didn’t sound English) I wrote out out for her she then questioned me on why I wanted 2 different sauces with my steak and looked annoyed (I was paying for both sauces so not sure why that’s even an issue) and then we waited for our food, one steak was asked for medium-rare and one steak medium-well done, both came all different the edges of the steak you couldn’t even cut through and chew it was extremely tough meat then the rest both was rare, my sisters steak looked like it had been thrown around the kitchen absolutely did not look like the one on my plate, after we finished (left quite a lot of the steak as it just wasn’t nice at all) the same waitress came to clear the table and had us help her stack the plates onto her hands, I don’t mind being helpful but having to write my own order out and then help her take our plates away when I’m paying £100 for a lunch is abit a joke. Wouldn’t come here again as this was our first experience here and If you can’t get a steak right as a chef doesn’t leave much confidence with anything else. 2/5 and the 2 would of been a 1 but the bar serve was lovely, efficient and polite.

Had a quick breakfast & coffee here & ordered the eggs Benedict & ran into my biggest 'bugbear ' warm food served on a COLD plate.... why do so many eateries think this is acceptable? Whilst the breakfast itself was good by the time I was half way through it's almost cold - a great shame 😔

Amazing service and food quality . Lots of improvement since last time we visited , the cobwebs are gone and the place looks very clean well done for that and keep up!

I called in for a quick drink before returning to my coach trip. Most of the bad reviews refer to the food which I did not have, however I can say that in my 4 day stay on the Lancashire coast the pint of Ruddles Best Bitter was easily the most satisfying beer, whilst also being a country mile cheaper than any other (£1-79 a pint!). I just wish I'd gone in sooner.

Thank you to all the staff for the buffet provided yesterday for our lovely Mum’s funeral. The food was delicious, the room was lovely and the staff were very friendly and efficient. Many thanks from Karen, Angela and families.

Emma, Hannah and Liv. Made our visit enjoyable with quick service pleasant manner and good food. Recommend the Lasagne and Gammon.

Kieran couldn't do enough for us. He was so attentive even though it was mega busy. He managed to rearrange the booked tables so that the whole crowd was sat together. Totally recommend.

Rooms are shabby ,in need of decorating, the bathrooms are very poor with cracked and dirty tile grout. The bed linen is and quilts are worn and thin. Very disappointed.
