The best restaurants serving British food in North West

Good service and nice food. Thought it was a little bit pricey for sandwiches and coffees. Not the warmest cafe I’ve been in

Lovely, well designed and clearly recently refurbished to a modern and high level hotel. Friendly staff and properly dog friendly. Food for dinner and breakfast was excellent. More thought and variety for vegetarian options would be welcomed. Room No. 9 was good but there wasn’t a full sized wardrobe and our sleep was badly interrupted by water dripping from the ceiling through the fire alarm in the middle of the night; dripped a good 3 hours. This was reported the following morning and the manager did apologise which is appreciated.

OMG, this restaurant just never ever disappoints, fantastic food and beautifully presented, full of flavours and colour. Staff are wonderful, polite and attentive throughout. Sunday lunch is superb and plentiful, amazing cheese board with fab choice. Highly recommended as you will not be disappointed.

Pre ordered 13 Christmas Pies for collection at 12 today. Was there on time to pick up and told not ready. Offered cold ones. Refused and were told they would drop some hot ones off at place of work in 20 mins. Turned up at 1.15. What is the point of pre ordering. If you can't supply the service please don't take the order.

Booked a breakfast to re 9 of us and because of the size of the party had to pre order. Arrives and seated on time by friendly staff. Eventually got to us to take drinks order which then took an age to arrive. Considering they knew we were coming and what we were eating the food took an hour to arrive. The food was well below standard. English muffins not toasted before avocado put on and cold bacon. Dense, stodgy and horrible. The eggs were fine though. Scottish breakfast had clearly been left in the pass for some considerable time. Dry and tasteless, tattle scone so dry and haggis had no taste and was like sawdust. Bacon a shrivelled dry slice that broke up with a fork which made it difficult to eat. The taste was even worse so left it. All 9 of us were left disappointed. So I don’t recommend and I won’t be going back. Woeful.

Absolutely fantastic stay at this hotel. Close to all amenities and bowness just around corner. It does need a update but for location and price i could not fault it.

An unexpected find, tucked away in the village. Excellent value food & drink. Quirky interior with posh toilets & friendly owner. Will be back.

The hospality was first class, we were the only people having dinner but don’t let this put you off. Very quirky place but that is the beauty of the place. Good size portions the ravioli was tasty but pasta too thick making it tough the broth with it was very tasty but the addition of finely diced vegetables would be great. Smoked salmon roll first class. We had a chicken and a chuck steak I like my steak medium rare just as well as they don’t ask you. Sticky toffee pudding first rate as is the ice cream. Good coffee and wines.

My wife and I stopped for a drink . My wife had a Diet Coke and I had a flat white coffee, the coffee was very nice not at all bitter as in some larger establishments Small but nice worth a visit if only for a coffee .

In need of a major makeover and the food although cooked fresh was very bland and the chips dripping in grease and the 'cod' batter was undercooked and no where near crisp - very disappointed in every aspect unfortunately

Hubby and me popped over to Clitheroe Monday afternoon for a bit shopping then into Swale's for a late lunch ... Meat and Potato Pie Peas and Gravy and 2 mugs of tea ...can't beat it 😋

We had dinner at the Railway Inn last Wednesday night, and from the minute we walked in the door we had a lovely experience. The owner, Colin, gave us a warm welcome, and he was the perfect host throughout the evening. The pub/restaurant is clean and modern, with a warm and cozy feel. The menu has a good selection of homely meals, something for everyone, all cooked by Hazel, Colin’s wife. Our meals were very tasty, my husband and I had the chicken with black pudding, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. The quantity of food was just right, and it was served at the right temperature. The whole evening was very good value for money. We had a really enjoyable night and will go back when we are next in the area.

I visited with 3 friends on Monday 19th December for a fabulously fresh festive afternoon tea and a wonderful time. We were warmly greeted into the tea lounge, which was packed to the rafters with a large party and many other tables were taken too. There was a warm and cosy festive feel, with christmas music adding to the great atmosphere. Although the lovely staff were kept very busy, they were happy, smiling and nothing was too much trouble and we were soon seated with a festive drink in hand, which is a lovely idea and makes The Nantwich Tea Lounge afternoon tea stand out from the rest. When our bulging stands of festive goodies arrived at the table, it was very clear that everything was freshly made, with an assortment of sandwiches, which included turkey & cranberry, roast beef & horseradish and cheese & pickle, with a tasty mini sausage roll. Then we started on the layer of beautifully home baked scones with clotted cream & strawberry jam. After that we moved onto our delicately made cakes, which are lovingly created in house, (unlike in other places, where they come straight from the packet) which included a decadent chocolate truffle, a mini mince pie with a soft sponge top, a homemade glass of sherry trifle - which was simply divine. But we were defeated by the gorgeous white chocolate & orange cup cakes and had to box them up to take home. The photo I have posted shows a stand shared between 2. There was loads of goodies and it was all delicious! Without doubt this was an extra special luxurious, delicious afternoon which I would highly recommend and repeat any day of the week. Thank you to the staff, who were so friendly and helpful. If you haven't visited yet, make sure you do!

If you didn't know it was there you could easily miss this charming bistro hidden behind the reception of the Laurie's center. I think it's only open until 3pm but for lunch it's perfect. Nice atmosphere, pleasing menu, good coffee and quick friendly service, a nice antidote to the huddle and bustle of the town centre. Give it a try!

Very welcoming, friendly and efficient service. Good wholesome food. Good choice for veggies and vegans. Lovely setting.
