The best restaurants serving British food in South Ribble North West

great chippy, price is incredible for what you get (£3.30 for a large chip that has fed 3 of us well) and they are very accommodating of requests no matter how weird they seem (asked for half the chips with vinegar and half without as i am not a fan of vinegar and they happily provided)

I often visit The Poachers and am always genuinely impressed. The food is delicious – hearty portions, perfectly cooked, and full of flavour. It’s not often you find pub grub this good at such great value for money. Whether you're after a classic pie, a curry, or something a bit lighter, there’s something for everyone, and it won’t break the bank. If you're local (or even just passing through), I highly recommend heading down on a Wednesday night for the quiz. It’s brilliant fun – well-organised, engaging, and with a great atmosphere. It costs just £2 per device to play, and there's even a chance to earn extra points with a selfie challenge, which adds a bit of cheeky fun to the night. Plus, the wine deals and curry + drink offer are well worth taking advantage of. A proper pub with a warm welcome, top-notch food, and cracking midweek entertainment.

Couple of well kept cask ales on First time here for food. Everything spot on. Slightly expensive for food but it is home cooked so worthwhile

Was a nice warm day, good company, friendly chap behind the bar, good beer, what more can you ask for?

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.

Booked a table for lunch for a family members 93rd birthday. Was promptly served with drinks and our order taken. Just after a party of 8 people arrived. They were served with their food before us. The waitress told us that they had pre ordered their food when she heard us talking about this. An hour later we received our food, which is unacceptable and the standard of the food was very disappointing. I feel that it spoiled what should have been a special celebration. We shan’t be visiting again, after being customers since 1995.

Family night out for a birthday. Roo was let down by some staff so it was down to him and a nice young lady to cope with the bar and serve food. The food arrived all together, piping hot and everyone was delighted with their choice. Very busy but they both worked really hard to make it an excellent night. Much appreciated, thank you.

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.

Stayed here whilst we went to a wedding close by at the medieval hall nearby. The check in was swift and easy. Bed was very nice and comfortable. The highlight for us was the all you can eat breakfast next morning. You could have cereal or full English breakfast all very nice.

This pub has got a bit scruffy but last time we called the tables were clean and it was unusually quiet for a Wednesday teatime. Usual Wetherspoon fare and busy but friendly staff. Worth a visit for the good value.

Always get a big fuss for my pups in the Fleece. Me and the family are regulars and always made to feel welcome and looked after. Loving the burger and a drink deal. Best smashed burger in Penwortham

A lovely room in beautiful surroundings, we called in for coffee and ended up having lunch, what we had was very nice but the service wasn’t good, it seemed a little disorganised no serviettes were brought to the table and no cutlery it’s hard to decide whether it’s self service or waitress service, the girl behind the bar seemed stressed and not overly friendly, could be teething problems but customer service definitely needs working on

This is a proper pub with excellent staff, pool and darts and the best gammon in the area. There are loads of screens to watch sport

Really good lunch would go again
