The best restaurants serving British food in Farington East South Ribble North West

Our visit was for our daughters birthday. The hotel was attractive and the staff very attentive and friendly. I had booked a week ago and was a little surprised that they were not expecting us and had to set a table for four people, however they apologised and swiftly seated us. We had the room to ourselves and the staff took our orders, the service was very efficient. The starters were fine but unfortunately the mains were very disappointing. The men enjoyed their meal of pork belly but my daughter and myself had the steak which were very unpleasant, mainly because they were burnt on the outside and raw on the inside, we had ordered medium steaks. The staff very kindly offered to only charge us for one of the steak meals and gave us complimentary coffees because it was my daughters birthday. As this was our first visit i would hope that this was an off day, it didn’t spoil my daughters birthday as the staff were so good.

The Walton Fox is in a good location with ample parking. It is decorated to a nice standard and is aesthetically pleasing, it appeared clean and well maintained. However, unfortunately we found the food and service did not match its appearance. From previous good reviews we were excited to try this as a party of 4 adults and one child. Initially we were sat without issue, some hanging around ant the bar while we waited for staff, and drinks orders were taken almost instantly. However, from then we waited over 20 minutes to order our food. When the server came to take our order we were then informed of the limited availability on the menu, something which we should have been advised of prior to being given the menus. As this impacted our initial choices we were given additional time to reconsider. However, we were left waiting for more than was needed. Eventually we were able to order food, which took far longer than anticipated. After half an hour no food had arrived, no server came to our table to advise of any delays or offer us fresh drinks, we had to go to the bar to get this ourselves. We were given a child’s colouring on arrival but no colours, again something we had to go and find ourselves. When the food did come one order was wrong, and further time was added while this was amended. The food was well presented however all meats were cold, over cooked and chewy, with limited taste or flavour. The medium - well steak was far more on the well side, gritty and chewy. For the cost of the meals we expected a better standard. On the basis of the slow service and poor quality food we would not recommend this place. We appreciate it was a busy bank holiday.

Visitamos aquí esta tarde y era la sensación muy decepcionado. No había nada en el menú que yo podía comer. Tengo un trigo intolerancia y no, mientras yo no esperes restaurantes para satisfacer las alergias a los alimentos que no esperan que sean conscientes de los ingredientes utilizados. Tuvimos una cena makeshift adecuado para un niño; 35 que esperaba para una comida adecuada para un crecido. Un amigo vegetariano preocupantemente pedí una hamburguesa vegetariana y luego descubrimos las patatas fritas son fritas en la misma freidora como el pescado por lo tanto toda rota no apropiado para vegetarianos. rápido y amable servicio por el personal del bar, pero ojalá el chef era más consciente de la comida son manipulación y cómo atender a las alergias.
