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.

Staff are lovely and welcoming. Great service. Lovely food and good value for money.

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 meal and bring your own alcohol made for a fantastic meal.

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

The guys were brilliant sorting me out gluten and diary free burger! Really appreciate their assistance. Tasted decent too.

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

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

Nice place food good service. was ok young inexperienced waitress but we all got to learn. Staff moving furniture around when your eating. Sort of killed the experience and mood but been to worce places. Mixture of boozer and diner. Which works . Give it a try

We go here 2 times a month or so and it's always good food, they do gluten free too , it's also a busy chippy (always a good sign) there's a cafe section too if you want to eat in which is clean and bright , lovely staff too and price wise good value.
