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.

The food is great, we really like the flavoured fish bites. Only the parking is rubbish.

Not gonna lie, it's not cheap here. But the menu is on the window, you know what to expect if you visit here price wise. My meal was £16.65 for a breakfast and a cup of tea. It was a large full English though, and the tea came in a pot, so it was enough for 2 cups. The quality of the food was exceptional. My only slight niggle was the beans were runny, not thick (you know when you always try to buy Heinz or Branston rather than own brand beans from the supermarket, you can tell the difference). But the sausages, black pudding, eggs, mushrooms were all high quality and cooked very well. Service was great, prompt and attentive and the food was cooked and served quickly. I was an early bird and first in at 0945 but by 10am it was already busy and to guarantee a table you should book in advance. Definitely would recommend trying here. If I was rich, I'd have breakfast here everyday.

This maybe a Garden Centre restaurant but the food and service is outstanding. My wife usually has the Sea Bass and I always have the large fish and chips. The food is excellent. The chef Simon, offers a great range of snacks and lunches. I am a fish and chips lover. Just ask for vinegar as and a small pot of tomato sauce. There is a lot more to choose from from the menu. Enjoy.

Called in to order a takeaway. Was stood there 5 minutes with the guy busy behind the counter..absolutely no acknowledgement that I was there...not even just a minute & I will be with you...complete ignorance & the last time I will eat from there.. RUDE!

From the moment you walk in until the moment you leave, the staff are friendly, polite and attentive. The food is great - for breakfast we had breakfast buns and coffee - the food was piping hot, the coffees too and very tasty. There is a very pleasant atmosphere inside and the whole place is spotlessly clean. Can't complain at just under £20 for two large breakfast barmcakes and two coffees. We will return soon.

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

My mum and I visited The Hunters Pub earlier today in Lostock Hall, and I can genuinely say it was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in years. The food was absolutely delicious and clearly prepared with care. The staff were outstanding; they went above and beyond to make my birthday special and nothing was too much trouble. The friendly and attentive service truly added to our experience. I highly recommend The Hunters Pub to anyone looking for great food and warm hospitality. We’ll certainly be back and will be recommending it to all our friends and family!

I can not thank The Yew Tree enough for a fabulous evening. All the staff are so accommodating, and service with a smile goes a long way. My visit was a Birthday party for 15 family members, all the meals arrived on time and were all very good quality. The chef needs a good pat on the back for this. Not one person had a complaint. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and I will be a returning customer.

Awful service.Late, was told 45mins arrived over an hour later. Complained and told driver couldn't find address despite being 5 mins away. Not be using this PLAICE again.

Always good here everytime. We arrived 3 pm on a Saturday and put food on for us. They didn't have to but above and beyond.

Great place for grabbing a chippy tea. You can sit in or take away. It's cash only so don't forget cash or there is an ATM at tesco.
