The best restaurants serving British food in North West

As with previous reviews we got caught out with the scam car park fees, there are no clear signs, why would you be looking for one? It’s a pub car park, as a tour guide who travels the U.K constantly I can’t think of another pub that operates a car park like this, to add insult to injury the food was distinctly average. My advice is if you are going for the Isle of Man ferry, eat on the boat and avoid this blatant scam.

Came in to try a new establishment on the way home. Didn't eat only had a drink. He welcome was warm from the young lad on shift. I did feel however feel a little rushed when we walked in it was automatically assumed we where eating which we where undecided. We sat down in the bar area which was pleasant but too open, I asked for a menu to browse and was told we will seat you in the restaurant I said no it's okay thanks felt the atmosphere was quite tense. Also poor selection of draught on offer.

Great food &drinks &lovely atmosphere, the staff made you feel very welcome ,we will definitely be returning as we had a great dining experience thankyou 😀

Can not give a good review because I was not allowed in, perfectly sober, well dressed but the bouncer thought I was straight so therefore gave me some rubbish about single entry not allowed. Discrimination laws work both ways and I will be taking it further. Just for your information I am a gay guy who just happens to be straight acting. With the smoking ban coming these pubs will loose 12% of trade but this obviously does not bother them.

The food was very nice service was great will be going back in on Friday

This place has nice meal options. For starters I had the BBQ chicken wings, the sauce on this was amazing and I also had the English rib eye steak which was so tasty and nice. The atmosphere was great, there was live music and the service was exceptional. All kudos to Lucian, who attended to our table(he delivered excellent and professional service), made the evening even better.

Stopped for coffee break this morning. Not too many places open at this time of year especially early morning (9.30).location and atmosphere is nice and staff were pleasant. Unfortunately scones were not fresh -baked yesterday I would think. Coffee wasn’t that hot either cold long before I’d finished my scone. Lots of jam served but butter very hard and difficult to spread. No cream. Price was fine if food had been better

This hotel is situated in the town centre near all the nice bars and restaurants. Our room was No10, a king size/Twin situated at the front of the hotel. We didn’t hear any noise at all despite the pub being full. We revived a nice welcome and staff were very friendly and helpful, I asked for extra pillows and this was sorted very quickly and with a smile. Room was spacious, very pleasant, clean and comfortable, beds are firm. Bathroom very clean with an excellent shower. We really couldn’t fault the place and would definitely stay again, staff are a great asset here, thanks all.

Lovely staff who are very helpful. My room was nice but wrongly positioned, as I had noise from the street and I was near a swinging door which people would slam open then slam shut. No hot water in the shower.

Was sooo good. Was greeted by a lovely waitress and the food was restaurant quality from a lovely pub. We had king prawn and beef taco starter and mains were sea bass curry and I had the pie of the day and the pastry melted in my mouth...highly recommend

Not a fan of bottomless brunches in general, only went for my daughter’s birthday. The food was so horrid it was actually amusing, I thought it was our complimentary starting platter , not a main meal to share with 6 of us 😂 chips, spring rolls and small pieces of chicken that looked and tasted like icelands’ finest. If you’re going for the food don’t bother 😂 The drinks, atmosphere and service top notch though, the bingo is good fun, time flew by. You get your monies worth with the drinks alone, glasses were never empty. Up the food quality and portions and this place will do well.

Impromptu visit midweek. Food was great, plentiful and well prepared. Excellent service, friendly and attentive staff. Grace was working her socks off, Jack is a real character!!

The service was wonderful and attentive, the atmosphere was great. There was a good choice of main meals for vegans. It's dropped 2 stars however as 1. No vegan starter? We wanted a 3 course meal, so had to do hummus and olives from the light bites. Which was annoying as my husband had kofta which also came with olives, bread and hummus. So it was essentially a repeat. Even a vegan friendly soup would have been nice? 2. Second star gone as the sausage and mash was absolutely tiny. It was tasty, very VERY tasty, but so tiny it left me hungry after eating. For £19 I'd expect more than I got , even some peas? My husband's kofta meal was huge though, so I was sat there watching him eat for ages, he ended up giving me some of it. Shame as it actually was the best tasting sausage and mash I'd ever had! The only vegan dessert on offer was absolutely delicious however!

This is not a place for vegetarians. We were offered a vegetarian roast option…though they don’t have any meat alternatives, our waitress said this would be comprised of: ‘extra vegetables, a Yorkshire pudding and cauliflower cheese’. When it arrived, the dishes each had 2 small pieces of roast potato, two pieces of carrot and a slice of beet and a small serving of broccoli (along with the cauliflower and Yorkshire pudding). When the bill arrived, we had been charged £4 each for cauliflower cheese on top of £19.50 charge for the few vegetables and Yorkshire pudding. Another person on our table who had the roast chicken dinner paid only £18.50. When we identified the error on the bill, our waitress unfortunately became argumentative. I wouldn’t recommend this pub.

Ok pub, want serving food that day
