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.

Ordered on line for the 1st time tonight was relatively easy, hubby picked up order but when he got home, I opened the bag and they hadn’t put the kids drinks & lollipops in. The meals themselves were hot and delicious & plentiful shame we had to make another trip down to get the drinks though.

That was the best Full English Breakfast I'ver ever eaten yesterday.😋 Spot on. Next time I'm willing to try, the Sunday Roast. I would definitely come back here again. 😃

A great little curry house! 😋 Excellent service and very tasty food. Not open too late and booking a table is best to avoid disappointment. Well worth a visit!

Every time we visit the staff and the food is excellent. One of the best breakfasts around. Child friendly and lots of parking. The eggs Benedict is superb.

Recently visited The Arches after booking a table. Sorry to say we will not be returning. Service was dire! Fifty five minutes wait after taking food order until first meal came. Only offered drinks once, not once asked if everything was okay then a forty minute wait after finishing meals to be offered a dessert menu which we declined. Awful experience.

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!

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

Went for some lunch and ordered from the lite lunch menu. No complaints with regard to the service and the pub itself is lovely particularly the beer garden and the little sheds they have, however I found the food a little disappointing, the soup was cold and the sandwich wasn’t great - the bread fell apart and overall tasted quite vinegary. For two lunches and two drinks it came to just short of £40 and personally wouldn’t recommend.

Food good. The toilets were totally disgusting can’t believe the smell. I complained but was told yes your right we know about it….. why is it actually open to the public. Totally unacceptable will not visit this place again.

Came on Friday all way from chorley fantastic fish chips peas lovely staff definitely come back

Ordered the big Dog! I was expecting a nice hot dog, it was a large sausage that was pink in the middle and not cooked... And smelt like Frankenstein's foot! The chips sadly were triple dipped.. again in Frankenstein's oil ewww the lady that served us was actually nice and understanding. But the chef at this place needs to go! Everything is deep fat fried & dripping in slimey fat. OIL OVERLOAD... If they were giving this away i would not accept it. They say you get what you pay for but in this case sadly not. Hope this review helps people out dont waste ur hard earned cash on food like this

Good food & nice staff! The only downside is that it’s cash only.
