The best restaurants serving British food in North West

Hubby and me popped over to Clitheroe Monday afternoon for a bit shopping then into Swale's for a late lunch ... Meat and Potato Pie Peas and Gravy and 2 mugs of tea ...can't beat it 😋

We had dinner at the Railway Inn last Wednesday night, and from the minute we walked in the door we had a lovely experience. The owner, Colin, gave us a warm welcome, and he was the perfect host throughout the evening. The pub/restaurant is clean and modern, with a warm and cozy feel. The menu has a good selection of homely meals, something for everyone, all cooked by Hazel, Colin’s wife. Our meals were very tasty, my husband and I had the chicken with black pudding, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. The quantity of food was just right, and it was served at the right temperature. The whole evening was very good value for money. We had a really enjoyable night and will go back when we are next in the area.

I visited with 3 friends on Monday 19th December for a fabulously fresh festive afternoon tea and a wonderful time. We were warmly greeted into the tea lounge, which was packed to the rafters with a large party and many other tables were taken too. There was a warm and cosy festive feel, with christmas music adding to the great atmosphere. Although the lovely staff were kept very busy, they were happy, smiling and nothing was too much trouble and we were soon seated with a festive drink in hand, which is a lovely idea and makes The Nantwich Tea Lounge afternoon tea stand out from the rest. When our bulging stands of festive goodies arrived at the table, it was very clear that everything was freshly made, with an assortment of sandwiches, which included turkey & cranberry, roast beef & horseradish and cheese & pickle, with a tasty mini sausage roll. Then we started on the layer of beautifully home baked scones with clotted cream & strawberry jam. After that we moved onto our delicately made cakes, which are lovingly created in house, (unlike in other places, where they come straight from the packet) which included a decadent chocolate truffle, a mini mince pie with a soft sponge top, a homemade glass of sherry trifle - which was simply divine. But we were defeated by the gorgeous white chocolate & orange cup cakes and had to box them up to take home. The photo I have posted shows a stand shared between 2. There was loads of goodies and it was all delicious! Without doubt this was an extra special luxurious, delicious afternoon which I would highly recommend and repeat any day of the week. Thank you to the staff, who were so friendly and helpful. If you haven't visited yet, make sure you do!

If you didn't know it was there you could easily miss this charming bistro hidden behind the reception of the Laurie's center. I think it's only open until 3pm but for lunch it's perfect. Nice atmosphere, pleasing menu, good coffee and quick friendly service, a nice antidote to the huddle and bustle of the town centre. Give it a try!

Very welcoming, friendly and efficient service. Good wholesome food. Good choice for veggies and vegans. Lovely setting.

Great tasty fish and chips, loved the sausages and the onion rings went down a treat. Great food and friendly service. Will definitely use again.

Clean and spacious interior. Great food, great service, reasonable prices. Had breakfast here and was not disappointed.

First time visit, and very nice to. Easy to miss but a nice little pub with a great view. Nice and friendly, beer good to. Not fine dining, but nice pub for sure

Dear Google could you please add a drive in road inside to COFFE HOUSE as the location is ending at the main road which is real inconvenience in rainy season specially with children and senior citizens

Me and my daughter went before she got her ears pierced. My daughter got a strawberry lemonade and I tried the banana split cream frappe. The strawberry lemonade was lovely and refreshing but my daughter preferred the banana split frappe (she had never tried a strawberry lemonade before). The frappe tasted just like a banana milkshake!! The place was lovely and clean and had a nice modern look. The staff was super helpful and friendly (even when I tried asking if they did a cookies and cream frappe as I hadn't realised it wasn't a Starbucks anymore) you genuinely would never be able to tell the difference. All I've thought about since last Saturday (3rd May) was the banana split cream frappe. Please don't EVER take it off the menu!! 10/10. I hope one day you give the option to deliver to!

Went for present from son in law for afternoon tea good place to visit staff excellent experience brilliant good old customer care cafe also serves tea coffee cold and hot food great place to visit and will go back again simple good food great value for money well priced and affordable with care taken on presentation of afternoon tea experience

Our daughter got married here on the 1st of August what a beautiful beautiful wedding venue we were so lucky with the weather everything was perfect. The food was amazing and Mark was absolutely brilliant throughout the whole wedding planning process and on the day. Thank you thank you it was amazing!

I visit this pub about once a month to meet friends. The reason why we go there is the quality of the beer (excellent), the friendly nature of the owner and the cosiness of a genuine country pub. Pies available on a Friday, and the Sunday lunch is not to be missed.

Great real ale pub full of character, nice staff and good value. Do pizza and burgers during the weekend.' Also live bands during the summer months.

Sausage cheese on toast and sausage n bacon barm very oily and greasy. The cheese was a congealed mess that was added separately to the toast just melted. Travelled from London to an overprice mess not happy and still hungry...
