The best restaurants serving British food in Lancaster North West

Absolutely superb, staff excellent food out of this world and at a reasonable price. Highly recommend 👌

the best ice cream I have tasted in this place, super service and in the middle of the cafe where you can enjoy drinks, I recommend ❤️

Visited on a Sunday for my partners birthday celebrations whilst staying in Lancaster. Excellent friendly service by everyone and one of the best Sunday roast dinners we've had in a long time! We also stayed for the pub quiz afterwards, which was great fun with a friendly quiz host, and we didn't come last 🙂 Our first visit to Lancaster and, therefore, to Merchants 1688, but we will be returning to both! Whole heartedly recommend a trip here for a meal. Thanks.

Fab real ale pub in a great location right on the canal in Lancaster. I counted 10 cask ales on tap. My Titanic Plum Porter was a beauty. Even on a drizzly Halloween evening it was a delight! 🎃

We had Sunday lunch. The Beef was well done- not served pink as on the menu menu - and the Yorkshire puddings almost burnt. Only veg were 1 piece of carrot and 1 piece of parsnip. My complaint was not dealt with well so we just won’t go there again.

Sorry but not good, infact my partner I got up and walked out , can't comment on the food .. but won't be going back Reason, long waiting time due to 1 person being on front desk Staff that were doing the carving had no uniform ie hat , smocks and looked untidy After being seated I the had to return to the front desk to get a couple of tickets and pay for the food .. not a problem but after standing there for over 15 minutes I had had enough... also the place needs a serious make over , it looks like a 80s Pontins restaurant .. sorry

Amazing atmosphere fantastic staff wonderful food will sadly be missed when closure, best wishes for future 🤞😘

Lovely café attentive staff we only called in for coffee but got chatting to some other diners and got toasted teacake too plenty of choice on the specials board as it was our first visit we didn't see the board until after we had ordered but will be going back

I love this place especially your crispy cake slices. But your hot chocolate today was not good. Didn't complain as haven't got the time but far too much cream and marshmallows in hit chocolate so there felt like no hot chocolate to drink and what was there was not hot. Go easy on cream !

Walked from Hest Bank to this cafe , which took about 30 minutes. Had dogs with us so sat in a booth in the outdoor area adjacent to the main building Staff were very attentive and the food was delicious Toilets were clean too 😊 We would recommend 👍🏻

Not been here for probably 20 years. Very busy. Live music on the Saturday we went in.

I've been here lots of times over the months as it's a little gem in the village. Excellent home made food and cakes which are a must have. Very friendly staff which make you feel welcome

4 adults and 3 children visited for breakfast. There was no breakfast menu for the children. We were cramped on a table in the corner. It s a good job the children were well behaved as there was no room for them to move around! Two of us ordered Poached eggs and although the eggs were perfectly cooked the toast came unbuttered and was really hard to eat, as was all the toast. We all thought that the food was over priced for what it was. Our group meet every week for breakfast at different places but we found that it cost far more than any of the other places we have visited for a breakfast which was very similar to what we had.Therefore we will not return and not recommend The Bow Window to anyone.

The weather had turned very wet and I had my little grandson in his pram Went in to order but was stifling to find vegetarian as I was dripping water in my eyes Girl tried to be helpful but it came across as a bit condescending. When I'd ordered she said sorry cash only. Who does that these days!! So I had to go back into the outing rain. If it was my pace I'd have offered a cup of tea or a towel The young woman who used to be there was lovely It seems to have gone down service wise My friend who can't see well said they were very rude to her too sadly Shane as it's a nice menu and cafe

What a gem of a place. A proper home cooked Sunday lunch followed by a delicious apple crumble with lashings of custard. I would highly recommend a visit.
