The best restaurants serving British food in West Lancashire North West

Very good breakfast in a comfortable and relaxing environment. The staff were welcoming and provided excellent service.

What an interesting conundrum, is this a 5 or a 4, I am going for a 4, and for the next few lines going to explain why. We were met, greeted and sat down, our pre meal drinks order taken effortlessly whilst we sat until our table was made ready; whilst waiting for our table, the staff kept our glasses topped up, in a nice provision of service. We enjoyed each course and from a technical prospective the food was masterly cooked and enjoyable, but that was it - enjoyable, there was no real dish that stretched or surprised the palate, which in my view is the sign of an aspirational restaurant not pushing its self. The level of service through the meal was excellent. Highlights of the meal - the cauliflower course and Hoggart slice / jus. Would I go back - certainly and will do so and the next menu change is made.

Went to see the art gallery. The woman in the cafe told me it was shut and there were no paintings there. Found a slot from work to visit. Really looking forward to seeing art locally. The cafe woman asked if i liked art. She said she owned an Isherwood, There is nothing online about gallery being shut. I felt devastated as i drove home.

great pub to go too at anytime,lovely and friendly,all the customers make you very very welcome,the drinks prices are the cheapest in the whole of ormskirk,this is now my local,they have 3 dart boards pool table and a massive beer garden,lots going on there every day.

Absolutely love the Cricketers, never had a bad meal. Have just returned from having Sunday lunch with family from down South and they were really impressed and said it was the nicest pub Sunday lunch they have had. Also, plenty of other choices on the menu if you don't want a roast.

Food was bland, service was slow, we waited 30mins for a drinks order, seemed to be understaffed. The staff were very nice though.

Wow! .Chicken tenders are Amazing.. absolutely gorgeous!! Friendly place, staff lovely,..can't wait to go back for more.

A lovely pub in Bickerstaffe. The menu is varied and provides good choices for everyone.. My favourite always has to be the Steak and ale pie.. Amazing value, yummy pie too.. Tasteful decorated, but still has the charm of a traditional English pub.. The service from the staff is fantastic, polite and tentative to your needs. Great atmosphere..There's plenty of parking . Make this your choice if you've never been here before, you won't be disappointed.

Can't believe how much I enjoyed the steak topper, perfect amount of everything. Staff are lovely.

Best Sunday dinner I've ever had in a restaurant. Outstanding visit on the 15/9/24.. Will return

Been to the Jazz lunch time session again. Food excellent, very good value, staff brilliant and music is excellent too.

Called into here on Saturday night with friends. Lovely pub, sat down and got nice and comfy. Started drinking only to be told we had to move because someone wanted to eat there and they had booked. Fine, but maybe think about putting a reserved sign on the table. Also, I am no prude, but the girl servers skirts are none existence. It bothered me (and I am fine, it may not bother them) but sitting there you can see some blokes eyes popping out when ever they went passed or bent over.

Gorgeous food. Popped in as we were in the area but would definitely do so again.

Food came out quickly but was very average in terms of quality. The ribeye steak I had was a bit tough and my wife’s chicken burger (and the 2 lots of popcorn chicken for the kids) was overdone and crunchy. Even with a 40% off mains voucher it was still nearly £50 for food and soft drinks. The place is beginning to look a little tired and run down. I don’t think we’ll be going back.

Unfortunately NO longer dog friendly!! Canalside pub with views across what was at one point Martin Mere, England's largest lake. Inside, was a good pint - don't know now as I couldn't get in due to the dog (or into the bar) 🙄. And, no, I wouldn't have expected to go into the restaurant with a dog.
