The best restaurants serving British food in North West

Very nice evening spent at Nandos in the town centre. The staff were all very attentive. The food was really good and presented well. The place looks great and really clean. We will definitely be back soon.

Went on Tuesday 20th August for breakfast with a friend to be greeted with we have run out of bacon !!!!! Obviously not on top of the job, how can you run out of Bacon? and Tesco being just down the road. Perhaps need to stock up

Very friendly and helpful staff. We was a group of 12 and the staff made sure we all got our meals together. Food was great would definitely recommend the carvery. great atmosphere.

First visit. Very welcoming staff. Bar and dining area had a good mix of locals and weekend visitors. Extensive menu. Food was very good and service good too. Only downside for me was although food orders were taken at the table, drinks had to be ordered at the bar which felt a bit disjointed. Would happily visit again

Visited the Foxhall to eat and have a couple of drinks. Reasonably priced, pub food, that we enjoyed. Debbie was great, run off her feet at the bar, but still took the time to make sure we were looked after. Great service from Debbie!

We organised and attended a school reunion at the Dane Bank after leaving Wright Robinson High School 42 years ago! As there was meant to be a live band on in the main bar we worried we would not be able to hear each other speak and the weather was not warm enough to be in the beer garden, so we asked if we could use the vault and this was agreed. The vault was quite tired looking but the bar staff were friendly and drinks were good. Not only that but we had the room to ourselves all night. Great night and loads of fun. Thanks for the use of the vault!

A smart little country gastropub. Nicely decorated with efficient friendly service. We had two sandwiches for lunch with a bowl of chips. The sarnies were really tasty and well presented. I'm afraid the chips were less good, some being quite hard. That didn't detract from a lovely lunch. Recommended for travellers on your way up to the Lakes.

The members of staff were appalling, there was a wake taking place and the owner of the establishment began screaming at a delivery driver calling him a C***. I have never experienced such foul behaviour before. They should really be ashamed.

Customer service …… Non existent. Food … Average (bread rolls very nice) Staff stand behind counter and quite clearly talk about customers.

Came here a few months ago and the food was not great. Thought I would give it another go but I will not be back again! Food was below average and barely warm. Cheap but certainly not cheerful!

New Dungeon Ghyll probably has much more to offer than just a cold, good beer, but for me it was just the place I arrived at, after an intense day of hiking in the mountains. A pint of beer, slowly sipped at a table outside the restaurant, tasted delicious!

Honestly, this is how a pub should be! Cracking (honestly priced) food. Engaging and knowledgeable staff. Great community atmosphere. My small child, dog and even wife were made to feel very welcome. If you’re in the area, pop by and sample some great northern food, or if you feel the need for change then there is also a fine selection of traditional German food, cooked authentically by the lovely German proprietor. Highly recommend!!!

Had a bad experience once before but everywhere has an off night so dr used to try this place again. Big mistake was even worse than before! Disgusting greasy food which went straight into the bin! Much better places for fish & chips in Cleveleys so don’t waste your money here.

My husband and I have been organising regular outings for our local U3A whereby we run monthly coach trips and we have done so since 2018. On Tuesday 12th March 2024 we arranged a coach trip for 57 people to Samlesbury Hall and Clitheroe. This included having a guided tour and lunch at Samlesbury Hall. I had booked this outing in the latter months of 2023. We paid £8 each for the tour and £16 each for the lunch. For the lunch I had ordered soup and a roll, a selection of pastries and tea/coffee. In addition three weeks before our visit I submitted dietary needs for four of our members. This included a person who was requiring gluten free food. On the day of our visit the lunch was appalling in terms of the quality and quantity of food and it was certainly not worth the £16 each we had paid. The soup was not hot, it was over spiced and small in content. This came with one very small roll. Whilst some members did make some complimentary remarks over the soup it was classed as ‘dreadful’ by the vast majority of our members. Some people asked for a second roll and were informed that you can only have one! You would have thought the chef would have the experience of knowing that not everyone likes over spiced soup. When I ordered the pastries I was informed we would receive a selection of Danish pastries. On the day we received one croissant each. This cost us £6.00 each. This was followed by tea and coffee which we had to serve ourselves from thermos flasks at a central point. This was chaotic with people carrying hot drinks along with the croissant which we also had serve ourselves. When I complained the following day I was informed the soup was the standard they always serve in their restaurants and it was tested for taste etc before it was served. In relation to the selection of pastries I was informed they had received an incorrect delivery on the day and there was nothing they could do about it so they served us with a croissant each. In addition the member who required gluten free was not served with any appropriate food relating to her dietary needs. After complaining they agreed to reduce the overall cost to £12 each and informed me that they could not reduce this any further as they would be making a loss! They did however reduce the cost to £10 for the one person was required gluten free. In summary, an appalling lunch and still being ‘ripped off’ at £12 per person.

One of the worst food experiences in Blackpool. They charged me £15.50 for a small, burnt burger on an oversized, stale bun. It was that dry the bun fell apart like clay. I also got wings but they were burnt to the bone too. Demanded my money back and the rude bar man didn’t even argue because he looked at the food and agreed it didn’t look edible. Never eat at this place
