Toby Carvery
4.7/513 Reviews
Open 8:00-22:00
TheForkUser:“The food was beautiful although the chefs were miserable this was more than made up for by the fact that our server Jacks was simply amazing she was happy, polite, and funny and her customer service skills were simply above and beyond!”
Harvester
3.8/513 Reviews
Open 9:00-22:00
TheForkUser:“We arrived a few minutes early but it wasn’t a problem, our table was ready for us. We got our drinks promptly and ordered from the two course lunch menu. The food was excellent freshly cooked and we didn’t have to wait long. Pudding was syrup sponge and I had it with ice cream, usually this is served on the plate and melts next to the hot sponge. The Harvester serves it in a metal bucket, so it stays cold. Our server was friendly and made suggestions on our food choices, we will definitely return.”
The Broughton Inn
4.5/515 Reviews
Open Late
Open 12:00-23:00
TheForkUser:“I like this place.A note to the pastry chef...please put less biscuit base on the banana caramel slice you do. OR make the base with butter like a proper shortbread.The biscuit THIS time was too much. The last 2 times it was spot on. A spoon of creme chantilly would finish it off perfectly.It was Thursday night at 7pm...and FULL.That tells you a story on its own.The young girls on the restaurant staff team were excellent, esp ours. She read our table, looked at our faces, hence the service was excemplenary.Weldone. 👍”
The River Wyre
3.8/516 Reviews
Open 11:00-23:00
TheForkUser:“My midweek visit to the River Wyre restaurant was very enjoyable. The staff were attentive and helpful. There was a real fire burning and my favourite cocktail was made to perfection. My slow cooked belly pork was delicious.”
