The best restaurants serving British food in South Ribble North West

Having been given a voucher for this cruise as a gift, we weren't sure what to expect. My husband made the booking over the phone and immediately commented on how friendly and helpful the lady was who helped with our booking. We turned up on a very frosty morning and stood viewing the ice on the water! We were boarded at 11.45 and shown to our allocated table. The boat was duly decked out with Christmas decorations and for the whole cruise we were regaled with Christmas songs. The food (which we had ordered from the menu prior to the cruise) was really delicious and we considered ours to be ample portions. Above all, the service was amazing and the staff worked tirelessly. It appeared that everything ran like clockwork and at the end of the cruise we considered it a lovely way to spend about 3 hours. The price paid was really good value for money and this canal cruise is now firmly on our 'To Do' list for 2020.

I visit this chippy nearly weekly and thought it was about time I wrote a review. I always order online and its always ready, hot and fresh when I arrive to pick up. The food is delicious, best chippy in the area by far. Look out for their specials they do as they are always delicious and worth keeping an eye out for.

I had avocado on sour dough toast with two porched eggs, chilli, lime, tomatoes, rocket, lemon and it was absolutely delicious. In fact it was the best avocado breakfast I have ever had. The eggs were cooked to perfection. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants excellent quality food for a very good price. I will definitely be returning for more, thank you.

I have used the Sangam for years and have always enjoyed their food, it really is excellent. Their delivery side of the service I am afraid has got worse and worse. Last occasion the food was an hour late and the time before that 2 hours with the staff getting really quite rude to me after telling me every excuse under the sun. This is a few months ago now and I doubt we will ever return to them due to the way they handled both issues. The food is great and if you collect or dine in I guess you won't have an issue.

I had requested to see if it was possible days before to do a Happy Birthday message with a cake, a scone or cheesecake after our breakfast for my Husbands birthday. The team at The Mill were very responsive, did such a lovely job and all sang Happy Birthday to him. It was really sweet, as we didn’t and wouldn’t have expected them to sing as well. That was lovely and thoughtful. My husband also loved the cheesecake. Bonus! So kind to adhere to my request. Meant a lot as I know you’re all so busy. We enjoy visiting The Mill, it’s a nice environment, the foods delicious and all the staff are friendly and welcoming.

Breakfast, disappointing, in a word. Booths or No15. at MacMillans serves a better breakfast and coffee! The white bloomer was a sad slice of almost regular bread The Granary had no grains so was just brown bread The plates are outdated and along with the presentation of food the egg sandwich looked lost and drowned out by huge brown plates Avacado? Veggie black pudding? Mushrooms? None. It's like visiting a closing down restaurant or a chef, that's just given up. Come on buddy, you can do better. Would I go back or recommend, no. I am sure there's many who will disagree but this was my experience and it sucked.

No 16 is a welcoming, spotlessly clean cafe in Penwortham. The breakfast menu is extensive and great value. The eggs are always perfectly poached and the sausages are so tasty. Service is friendly and prompt and the Americano delicious. I can’t recommend this café enough for breakfast.

Just called for a drink this teatime. Hubby went to the bar no beer on draft only lager as he only drinks beer we just left. This is about the 4th time in recent months that this has happened it will be the last as we will no longer be going hoping that they have beer on. Lorraine

Lovely little tea room - visited with my mum who had the ‘daily special’ of vegan haggis, mozarella and tomato wrap and I had a glamorgan cheese & leek sausage butty. Both meals along with our warm drinks served in cozy tea cups were really good quality. The staff are also really nice and friendly. Dogs welcome too!

Hunters pub, great place for a Sunday lunch, had lamb roast, defo going again. Here again for sausage and mash mmm.

Great stop off will definitely be back Great Menu food was excellent very friendly staff and reasonable 👍

Went here yesterday for mother's day. Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We ordered the carvery and I've not seen a better selection of food. Starters even offered as part of the carvery. Everything was fresh and hot. The staff were friendly and chatty. The kids meals were good, possible improve the fish fingers to fish goujons. Looking at the set meals that were coming out the kitchen, they also looked really good and the portion sizes were huge. The menu was very extensive, the burger section particularly had a vast amount of options to choose from. Very reasonable prices and will definitely be going back.

Sausage and chips were amazing so was the scallop but the popcorn chicken didn’t taste right it tasted funny

My wife and I went to Embleys yesterday to buy a specific tree and other garden items. The quality of the stock was excellent, and the staff could not have been more helpful in facilitating our purchase and putting things in the car for us. We rounded the trip up in Arches restaurant, where the service was quick and the food hot and tasty. Why can’t other retail establishments be as good an experience as Embleys?

Brilliant service and fantastic buffet provided for my husbands funeral. The cakes were especially yummy. Thankyou orchid cafe. Would highly recommend
