The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in North West

November 2024 The first couple of things to say are that the service we received at The Bay Horse was perfect. We went to celebrate a birthday. The lady behind the bar and the young man and girl who served us couldn't have done more for us and they were really lovely, pleasant, polite and helpful. The second thing to add is that all of the food was absolutely outstanding in terms of flavours, colours, tenderness etc. The one thing however which let the whole meal down completely was the amount of food we were served bearing in mind this was marketed as a Lancashire Sunday Roast. It was not a tasting menu and we were five adults and two children. The starters whilst delicious were literally miniscule. I had three 6 foot 2 chaps in the party who just looked at their plates in shock. One - okay at a pinch - maybe two small bites and it was gone. Never seen a starter or even a tasting menu offering so small. Those who had the three roasts in a large Yorkshire paid an additional £5 supplement. There wasn't enough meat there for the basic roast offering never mind the three meats together plus the £5 supplement. The chicken bits (not slices) would have fitted onto a dessert spoon. The gammon was wafer thin and small as was the beef. The 'supplement' serving of meat would not have been sufficient for the roast choice 'without the supplement'. There is nothing to fault about the actual taste of the food at all - it is really superb, but the portion sizes in particular for the starters, the mains and some desserts are just taking the Mickey. The Lemon Tiramisu for instance was 'blow you away' stuff apparently. Really wonderful - but so tiny. I couldn't rate this meal as poor, it would be unfair to the chef (who is clearly talented and probably not in charge of the profit margins) but it was very disappointing for the reasons stated. Why are vegetables so often served in such microscopic amounts? Ours (also microscopic) were part of the main at this pub and hidden in the Yorkshire, but so many times as an additional side they come in a tiny pot looking grey, miserable and lack lustre with a price tag of £3 - £5! All the food for each person who had ordered the three meat roast (with the £5 supplement) was heaped inside the Large Yorkshire and without exaggeration, much of it must have been put on with a teaspoon. We spent plenty on drinks so we weren't parsimonious customers nor are we greedy. For such a 'little bit more' on the plate, so much more would have been achieved for our family and the pub because we would have returned again and again and recommended it to others for food like that. No-one wanted their plates to be heaped high. NB - They did produce three additional albeit small slices of beef when one of our party mentioned it. Food Taste & Presentation 10/10 - Service 10/10 - Portion Sizes - (in part) - Ridiculous. We are happy to support local businesses and spend our hard earned money with them, but if pubs and restaurants want to fill their tables, they have to send people home reasonably full in our opinion, especially when they are spending so much money in addition on drinks. £9.50 for one glass of wine!

Called in for something to eat before travelling. Bar was busy with a good atmosphere. Staff were working hard and were all very helpful, cheerful and friendly. As it was after 3pm we were told the only thing on the menu was pizza which was fine. However, although I appreciate that a margherita pizza is simple, this has to be the saddest pizza I have ever been served, no garnish, and very little ingredients and no thought to add to the taste or presentation. At £15 this was not good enough for the Radisson and I was embarrassed to see several tourists presented with the same uninspiring dish.

Very happy with the service and the food was lovely fresh and hot. Good value for your money 👍

Who is the chef in this joint? He,or she ( can you call a women chef? Or is it chefette?) Who knows. Anyhoo, only ordered a plate of chips but 👌 Crispy, sure,fluffy on the inside, you better believe they were, all washed down with a pint of the amber nectar. Get this person on master chef, tout suite.

Will not be returning, do not go out for a meal to listen to kids screening and running around the pub, jumping up and playing on the furniture x terrible 😡

Sent me 6 inch instead of footlong!!!!

Went here today for lunch with my Mum. Great location in the heart of Preston city centre with friendly and professional staff and lovely food (I had the katsu chicken curry). Highly recommended! :)

Food awful. Chicken wings burnt on outside abd undercooked and slimey on inside beef burger fell apart cos bread was so dry and beef pattie overdone and no taste. My husband had sausage and mash - flavourless sausage, bland mash, vinegary gravy. Rubbish food - never again. Menu & ordering system based on the Wetherspoons model but not a patch on J.D's.

The food was delicious and the service was great… great location. Owen did brilliant on his first day 👍. Lovely country pub setting with a relaxed vibe. Staff were polite and food was amazing… amazing views over Manchester too - would be perfect in the summer

Amazing service especially from a waitress called Shiv! Had an issue with an order and she handled it amazing! Thanks Shiv :)

Bought the 3 starter options for £15.65, I believe was the price and added salt and pepper chips and onion rings. Absolutely awful, clearly some microwaved and “overly” cooked. Lamb kebabs arrived looking like a dog chew. Onion rings and salt and pepper chips tasted of oil, that needed changing. Nobody came to see if we were satisfied. Left feeling completely let down and wasted in total £30. Plus.

Called in on for a quick drink. Ended up having some food too as it smelt so good. Had the Lancashire Cheese and Onion Pie and the wife had the Veggie Bean Burger. What fantastic food, absolutely fabulous service, super friendly and happy staff

Car decided to have a wobbler on M62 so pulled off as demanded by on-board computer and found the Hornet Inn nearby. Parked car to await RAC and decided to go for lunch as wait was getting longer. Our server Sean couldn't have been more attentive and polite and we were absolutely delighted with him. We noticed he treated all his customers the same way. The meal was excellent value, Steak and Ale pies for the Grandparents, Roast Dinner for Daughter and Chicken and chips for 13 year old Grandaughter. What was a traumatic experience turned into a lovely enforced stop and after car sorted, we travelled safely back to York having never got to Liverpool to see our Grandson at uni! Thank you the Hornet and it's staff for giving us a memorable day out!

Appalled to find most of the staff not wearing face masks,only one female member of staff was exempt.Considering the infection rate is rising , particularly in the north west I find this extremely worrying.

In a few words: not value for money. The 'pasty' was dry, without discernible flavour and over priced. It was not helped by what they serve under the name of coffee. We will use anywhere but here in Keswick in future.
