The best restaurants serving British food in Lostock Chorley North West

Superb white fish beautifully cooked and a large portion Perfect chips Curry sauce sharp enough to be interesting without being to savage. We ate on a sunny day when the picnic tables were most welcome.

Lovely place, great atmosphere and comfortable. Staff welcoming. We had breakfast with friends, ours was the Out Lane Brioche which was great to look at, though the bacon was lovely there was more heavy rind on it more than meat and as for the Chilli Jam it blows you out of the chair. It is far too hot and spicy. not everyone likes to be blown out of their chair. We would go back at a different meal time to see what that would be like.

You won't be disappointed when you visit

With access through the Old corn Mill antiques centre, the Vintage Tea Room is beautifully clean, but has a rather spartan appearance; reminiscent of a works canteen. and lacks refinement in presentation. Our bacon sandwiches were well filled with delicious, well cooked bacon; but the two slices of bread should have been destined for 'doorstep' toast. Although fresh and of a decent texture and taste, the thickness of the bread tended to detract from the filling. Whilst we were asked if we would like any cutlery or sauces, we had to request a paper napkin. Appearances do matter, and it was a little off-putting to see a man, who we presumed be the cook, simply dressed in ordinary outdoor clothes, wandering around outside with tea towel over his shoulder. The staff were friendly and helpful; the menu interesting and quite extensive for a small establishment, and we are sure that other meals would be as well cooked and tasty as was our bacon filling. A little more attention to detail would make a huge difference. Oh yes - and the coffee was good.

Spent some quality family time celebrating mum's 80 th with her siblings. Michelle our sever could not have done more. We were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves and were encouraged to laugh as loud as wanted. And stay as long as we wanted. Very grateful for the service we received.

The chicken and mushroom pie was awful, the crust was sooo hard and thick, no sauce in the filling, perhaps because it was either over cooked or warmed up. You should have a gluten free menu printed, as bring a tablet to the table really singles them out to be different to everyone else. We waited longer for the desserts than our main meal and it was only ice cream! Most of the staff were too busy on their phones and catered more for the children’s side than the actual dining side. The condiments were empty and the tables were dirty too, so no, we won’t be back and we certainly will not be recommending The Highfield to anyone!
