I have personally attended every year for the last 5 years and have never been anything less that completely satisfied with the welcome, the service and above all else the food. The owners and staff have always gone out of their way to make us welcome with their nothing is too much trouble attitude. I have also had the occasional meal with family and again never a complaint to be made.

The Left Bank in Burscough Street in Ormskirk is run by twin brother's Fernao and Luis and they…read moreboth have a really great sense of humour and always brings a smile to our faces every time we dine there. They have an Early Bird Menu which is very reasonably priced. They also have a really great selection of vegetarian options available. My husband and I dine here at least once or twice a month. You don't even have to book in advance too.

A mini review (if you will) of this new hidden gem of a restaurant that quietly opened its doors…read morenot so long ago. Ti Amo might make you think it's an Italian restaurant but it's not really? Firstly there's a Tapas menu and a Turkish influence on the food (Turkish owner I was told) but the head Chef is Portugese? So I imagine some Portugese flavours seep into the mix at some stage. As we enter into the 16th year of the 21st century I presume innovation in foodie collaborations will lead to more places like this. Onto the food.. The tapas menu is nothing short of fantastic. The breads are baked fresh onsite and are delicious. The Filetitos (strips of lamb fillet I think?), Pan seared Scallops with clams and the Gamberoni Pilpil (prawns) are sensational choices from the tapas menu. I for one cannot wait to rattle out a full blown review upon my return when I'll no doubt goorge on the Beef Stroganoff which I hear is divine. So watch this space...

One of the decent restaurants in lancaster(considering how small the town is!!). The entire…read morerestaurant is at the basement and it designed to look like a cave--in a nice way. If you want to try a decent british meal, then go there. the price is not usually cheap but it is worth the money. You will need to book it for dinner cos it tend to be fully booked very often. The lunch menu is not even close to the dinner one, so dont recommend.

I've been to the Gatehouse only once for a departmental Christmas Lunch. The quality of the food…read morewas quite well. Yet, though we made our choices a month before the lunch, the service was quite slow with long breaks between courses. Worth to rest and enjoy at the picnic tables outside on dry days.

The food is absolutely wonderful and I prefer this restaurant to their other which is in Knutsford if only for the chaotic fun caused by owner Shah. Imagine a 5' 4 Indian 'Basil Fawlty' with purple streaks in his hair tearing around and serving 6 tables at once then you will picture Shah however he smiles constantly and is nice to the staff. I can forget the occassional double bookings and the order mix ups because it's such fun to eat here and the food is superb. A word of warning book your table as it is very popular and dont expect to rush just enjoy the fantastic experience, then can even cater for parties in the upstairs dining room.

The main portion was just huge - probably, could share between two people. However, the service was a bit of letdown - for example, they didn't remove our starters plates when brought the mains, and there was not much space on the table and eating like that was very uncomfortable, so I ended up carrying the empty plates away myself. Also, they didn't offer us desserts - although those were on the menu (oh well, better for the waistline!).

To do it justice you have to dine here in the summer, despite what they say at Sheldrakes. Parked…read morenicely in the Dee Estuary with panoramic views of the welsh mountains and the sea, there is some spectacular scenery to be gawked at. It really is a fantastic location. Thankfully the food is just as spectacular as the views they offer made of course from fresh local produce, so I've been told. Have you noticed this has become a bit of a given for alot of the restaurants? It almost seems as if they are repeating it parrot fashion to sound more green. Cynical thoughts aside their pan roasted loin of cod with tarragon and sesame seed crust is simply delightful. There is Mediterranean flair in the air you will notice with Mediterranean seafood featuring as well as antipasti sharing platters. The menu has a Cheshire / Mediterranean mixture which is nice and reflects the owners state of mind perhaps. The summer Sunday barbecue menu however is Sheldrake's crown jewel. At £17 per head and 3 courses awaiting you, there best be some room in them tumtums I tell thee. The options are all equally appealing and for the first time ever in any of my reviews each one of them deserves a special mention. We start off the precedings with 8 oz Cheshire rib eye steak marinated in a chef made barbecue sauce, for all of you who don'like change. For the likes of me who love bit of spice in our lives there is the garlic and mint marinated Welsh lamb rump kebab served with tzatziki dip, yowza!!! For the ladies perhaps the Chargrilled corn fed poussin with garlic and tarragon butter might tickle your fancy. Last but by no means least the vegans amongst us will be more than content with the rumptuous Thai marinated Halloumi kebab. Seriously how can you go wrong? Magnificent innings indeed. Throw into the mix a wide variety of tapas on offer and hey presto you have a Sunday barbecue you will not forget.
