  1. GAV - What did you have? The menu is just about to change which i am looking forward to seeing.

    Must admit the menu is currently the weakest of all the ones i have seen but it is all top quality and sourced from wellocks (which i believe to be the best supplier of ingredients)

    We had the sticky chili beef, burger and cheese when we stayed.

  2. Never had a bad meal at the Clog but it is too boring for me (the menu). I like the choice of things cooked with chilli, soy, ginger and so on. The O&O has a well balanced menu for that.

    Still think my favourite restaurant round Lancashire is Cafe Grand and the Grand Hotel, Lytham.

    On another note, i do fully TRUST the O&O, C&B and Millstone to serve me freshly prepared food. Sometimes i just don't trust it to be fresh at other local establishments. For example " Breaded King Prawns with a Chilli Sauce" - that could quite easily be purchased wholesale (ready prepared) and you get charged £7 for it.

  3. Driving around on Sunday and decided to scrap the mothers' for sunday tea and hit a pub. We really wanted to try somewhere new as we have eaten so many times at the Clog, O&O and so on.

    We opted for The Sirloin at Hoghton. The restaurant that was here previous (Thyme) was probably my favourite at the time so it had a lot to live up to.

    It was okay/decent - i wouldnt return with so many better quality eating establishments. Also, the place felt dirty which really put me off. We moved twice and still felt unhappy.

  4. Went to my favourite restaurant last week and a few weeks before that. The Cafe Grand at the Grand Hotel, Lytham is just pure class in my opinion. We dine there at least 6/7 times a year and stay about 4 times a year.

    Fab hotel that has everything right.

    In addition, went to the Oyster for a drink last weekend. Lovely new bar / lounge area and a nice new menu (did not eat though) and i really did not feel as though i was sat having a drink in Blackburn. Very nice.

    Off to Little Hong Kong (Was Wan's) in Wheelton in a few weeks, will let you know how that is.

  5. "Was that recently Vintage, or under the new ownership (last 3 months approx)?"

    It was about 7 months ago so that would be the old owners! It was minging food, sticky table, dirty knives and forks and for a similar price I could have dined at the clog or oyster!

    I am always up for giving new owners a chance and I do take people's opinions on here into consideration as they are usually spot on!

    I will try soon and report back!

  6. Fantastic choice! ^_^ What do you normally go for?

    Theno, have you managed to get your hands on the lamb leg? Thinking of ordering one this weekend with the lads. Might go for the stuffed one this time around though.

    Well BNWR i usually go for the Akbari Tikka Masala (Mild) - it is awesome!

    Im thinking a trip may well be on the cards this weekend now, haha!

  7. Is kebabish an eat in type place vintage or do they deliver? What do you recommend from there?

    Yes you can eat in Tom and it is pretty smart inside. I usually order the Chicken Tikka Kebab and a few sides. It is good to just people watch as you wait for your food.

    I had to wait 35 minutes last time (i ordered in the shop) as they were so busy. I counted about 30 pick ups in that time and table after table of people coming in to eat.

    It is very community based so most people know one another.

    Top grub as far as kebabs are concerned.

    Never had a curry - i always go Bukhara!!

  8. Had a kebab from Charcoal Cuisine last night. The food was freshly made and they had tried to make a good kebab but i ended up leaving most of it as did the better half.

    I went for the Kodeba and Chicken Tikka Special. It came on a very large undercooked and soggy naan bread, the chicken tikka was dry and the Kodeba was just plain weird for me. It was the size of teenagers arm and as thick too - just too large. It was also bland but the quality of the meat was very good.The chilli sauce was poor too.

    Will stick to Kebabish Original for the best kebab around here!

  9. My old boss owns that place. Do me a favour and never go again. I'm not a spiteful person at all, but I (and several hundred of his ex-employees) would love to see him lose a lot of money in that place.

    Mr and Mr Ford own it don't they? I thought they made their money through restaurants. PM me the reason as i am currently in the process of writing a very good tripadvisor review and telling plenty of people about the quality of food and service i received there.

  10. Had a meal at Angels in Ribchester last week. I was VERY impressed with the food and the service.

    I had seared king scallops with a spicy carrot puree to start. For the main i had pig cheeks with black pudding, oxtail mash and an apple jus - fab.

    For afters i had the cheese board - very good again.

    It was also very well priced.

  11. The Grand Hotel, Lytham St Annes has a restaurant called "Cafe Grand". Have stayed there twice in the past few months and i must say the hotel is fantastic if you ever fancy a little break from the norm. In addition to this the food is amazing at their onsite restaurant - have a look at the menu on their website.

    I enjoyed every single bite of both meals. Fantastic!

    Trip One:

    We had an assortment of Tapas to start - all excellent!

    Thai Green Curry - Fantastic

    Sticky Toffee Pudding - Awesome.

    Trip Two:

    Pretty much the same Tapas dishes - all fab!

    Fillet Steak - amazing!

    Cheese board - quality.

    Two of the best meals i have had for a while. 10/10

  12. Tried kebabish original on Saturday and I must say it was the best kebab I have had and also the busiest kebab place I have ever seen! 30+ takeaway orders and tables all full in the 40 minutes we waited!

    Off to the walled garden bistro and wine bar at Barton this Sunday! Heard decent reviews - will report back!

    Tom - millstone has just had a change of menu! I always have the duck spring roles to start which are still on, quality!!
