The best restaurants serving British food in South Ribble North West

Having been given a voucher for this cruise as a gift, we weren't sure what to expect. My husband made the booking over the phone and immediately commented on how friendly and helpful the lady was who helped with our booking. We turned up on a very frosty morning and stood viewing the ice on the water! We were boarded at 11.45 and shown to our allocated table. The boat was duly decked out with Christmas decorations and for the whole cruise we were regaled with Christmas songs. The food (which we had ordered from the menu prior to the cruise) was really delicious and we considered ours to be ample portions. Above all, the service was amazing and the staff worked tirelessly. It appeared that everything ran like clockwork and at the end of the cruise we considered it a lovely way to spend about 3 hours. The price paid was really good value for money and this canal cruise is now firmly on our 'To Do' list for 2020.

Steak pudding chips and spicy curry was unbelievable a good 9/10 really good chippy best I've had in a while

Lovely welcome 🤗 fantastic food and service.

Situated within Embleys Garden Centre, it has a great selection of high quality food, with helpful staff.

Called in to order a takeaway. Was stood

The full English breakfast here is absolutely spot on. I’ve been searching for the perfect breakfast spot and honestly, this is it. Couldn’t fault a thing. Black pudding and sausages are standout with great toast too. Excellent quality and cooked to perfection. Great service and decent prices. Lovely bright and spacious setting. The only place I want to come for a full English breakfast. So so impressed, can’t wait to go back.

No 16 is a welcoming, spotlessly clean cafe in Penwortham. The breakfast menu is extensive and great value. The eggs are always perfectly poached and the sausages are so tasty. Service is friendly and prompt and the Americano delicious. I can’t recommend this café enough for breakfast.

Just called for a drink this teatime. Hubby went to the bar no beer on draft only lager as he only drinks beer we just left. This is about the 4th time in recent months that this has happened it will be the last as we will no longer be going hoping that they have beer on. Lorraine

Lovely little tea room - visited with my mum who had the ‘daily special’ of vegan haggis, mozarella and tomato wrap and I had a glamorgan cheese & leek sausage butty. Both meals along with our warm drinks served in cozy tea cups were really good quality. The staff are also really nice and friendly. Dogs welcome too!

Brilliant service and fantastic buffet provided for my husbands funeral. The cakes were especially yummy. Thankyou orchid cafe. Would highly recommend

My husband and I visited this establishment on 25/01/2025 at tea time after being given a voucher for Christmas from my daughter . The carpark was full and we just managed to get a space. We entered the restaurant and waited a good 5 minutes before someone came to take our name . He showed us to our table and said we needed to order that bar. Once my husband and I had chosen what we were having he went to the bar and ordered our food and drinks. Within 5 minutes of ordering our starters came . The soup was very thick but my husband ate it anyway. I had Garlic Mushrooms , they didn't knock my socks off to be honest . Having eaten our starters the waiter who was was friendly enough took our plates away . A couple of minutes later our mains came. I had Lasagne and it came with a basket of chips, my husband had steak and ale pie with mash , carrots and parsnips and gravy. My Lasagne was so hot it burnt my tongue. It wad as tho it had been heated up in the microwave . It wasn't that nice either. My husbands pie wasn't cooked completely through properly and the steak was chewy and grissly . Also the mash was like it had been standing about keeping warm and the gravy tasted sweet. We didn't eat all our food as it wasn't fit to eat . We were done and dusted within 40 minutes . Both my husband and I were very disappointed in our meals . We were so looking forward to having a nice meal and a drink considering it was a Xmas present for us. I work as a chef in the hospital so I know what food should look and taste like. Your waiter/Waitress never came to ask how our food was or even asked if we needed any condiments with our meal. When the young lady came to take our plates away she noticed we hadn't eaten our food. She asked was everything OK and my husband replied no the pie didn't seem cooked properly and the gravy tasted sweet. Her reply back was il pass it on to the chef . And she walked away . We got up and paid . Our bill was over £60.00 which in my opinion was over priced . Wasn't worth the money and we felt it was very rushed . I wont be recommending this restaurant to any of my friends. Thanks Julie

Visited the Yew Tree on a Saturday lunchtime and with the opening time being 12 midday we weren’t going to book as didn’t think it would be busy straight away but so glad we did as there was barely any tables left. We were served by 3 staff during our visit and all were brilliant. Drinks order taken quickly and they arrived promptly with just enough time given to view the food menu and once ordered our meals arrived in a timely fashion. We were so impressed with our main meals we just had to order dessert which again arrived quickly and was super tasty. The pub is one we’ve driven past numerous times but never visited but we will certainly be back. One of the best pub meals we’ve had in a long time.

Food was excellent Tell them.how you want your fish or anything else how you like it ,nothing is to much trouble fully recommended 😀
