I recently had dinner here for a very unhenparty style hen party. It's a nice little addition to…read moreHope Street, defo a step up from that old Mexican place. It has a cosy / bustling kinda atmosphere, I recon it'd be a good Sunday joint. The food was good (fancy pub food with a bit of a Mediterranean thing going on) but the main courses came out so long after the starters that we were a bit over it by that stage, but hey the starters were all great and we were all pretty happy on the wine, so. They sat us in the back room by the kitchen, which was a little cut off from the rest of the place but good to spot there's a garden out the back. Good to know that the Cracke isn't your only option now for those sunny days. Worth checking out again.

Hey, remember El Macho on Hope Street? Yeah well it's gone. It seemingly vanished quicker than…read moreLucan on Concorde and in its spot is the Clove Hitch, named after everybody's favourite kind of knot. This new bar and restaurant is a great little nook of polished wood and squeaky floorboards. It has all the distinction of a European eatery construed from a knocked-through dwelling but with none of the smarminess that usually accompanies these kind of establishments. Definitely one to try. It's just a shame I have no stomach or I'd be perusing the menu as we speak.

If you are looking for a traditional fish and chip shop with good food then Pemberton fish bar is a…read moregreat place to go for your take away food. On the main Ormskirk road it is easy to get to and there is parking on the street at the side of the shop. The menu has all the usual favourites plus a few extras. The shop is very clean and well kept and the staff are friendly and take no time at all to put together your order. You my sometimes find a small queue when you visit but only because the locals know how nice the chips are. Worth calling in for your fish and chips.

The venue itself (although identikit to the rest of the chains) is modern and relaxed, with earthy pastel tones and chunky furniture, as well as the kitchen being on open view, with the grill taking stage right by the 'viewing' hatch, allowing the sights and smells of the cooking to drift through the dining area, as well as cooking chickens on a rotisserie spit for the same effect. It works well really to be honest! On the opposite side of the restaurant is the main bar area, which has the same decor and styling as the restaurant, but focussed more on relaxed social seating. There's plenty of parking here, as it shares a car park with a hotel and another restaurant, it's also within a 5 minute walk from Horwich Parkway Rail Station.

The Five Ways is situated at a busy junction in Ormskirk. It is a large pub which looks attractive…read morefrom the outside. It has a large car park on site which never seems to get full, even on a Sunday. The interior of the pub looks expensive, well maintained, clean and tidy. The decor is homely and comfortable. When you enter you are asked to wait there to be seated, it took a minute for someone to come and see us but when they did we were quickly shown to a nice table, presented with our menus and our drinks order was taken. The pub is very spacious, with a lot of tables for diners, and comfier area's for people who are just there for a drink. When we were there the football was on, but this only resulted in a distant cheer (or boo) every now and then, and didn't disrupt our evening. The menu has a lot of choice. There is a carvery available 7 days a week but there are also many other options available. I went with my parents who are both pensioners, and as they were members of the pubs "Diamond Club" which is for the over 50's, they were able to get 2 courses for a mere £6.25. This includes the carvery which is usually £7.25. After agonising for a while I chose the "'Brown's of Kirkconnel' black pudding and bacon fritter. Topped with red onion chutney and a poached egg" for starters. This was possibly the best black pudding I have ever tasted. It was rich and succulent without being overly fatty. It was so delicious and just the right size for a starter. For my main course I chose the Ultimate Burger - "Hand pressed Farm Assured Saxon British beef burger and half chicken breast, topped with melted Taw Valley mature Cheddar, smoky chilli bourbon sauce and crispy onions. Served with hand cut potato wedges." This came on a trendy square plate and looked very impressive (and huge) when I was served it. This was simply divine. The burger was delicious and the bacon and chicken were cooked to perfection. The wedges were also delicious and very moreish. For pudding I had Gingerbread flavoured Penna cotta with a homemade honey wafer. I've never had Penna cotta before but I thought I'd give it a go. It was so delicious, creamy and indulgent. But at the same time it was light and refreshing. I was actually sad when I finished the desert as I wanted more! The service at Five Ways is excellent. You don't have to wait long for your starters to be served, and once the plates are taken away the main course is brought to you quickly. The same happened when we ordered our deserts. The staff are friendly and very helpful. They are happy to chat and crack a joke whilst taking your order. They keep an eye on you whilst you are eating, coming over to check everything is perfect with your food, and taking orders for further drinks. I had an excellent meal here. I had previously only had the carvery but I thought I'd try something else and I was glad I did as it was amazing. I can't fault this place at all.

I'm with Hex P. This place is tremendous. The decor is posh, I'd be delighted to have this…read moreluxurious wallpaper in my living room, and the ambience is spot on. The food is top notch, needless to say. The main problem here is that the carvery is so good it's a wrench to not have it and attempt something else. The stuffing balls are delightful, the Yorkshire puds are bigger than my head. And that's saying something. The herby potatoes are a revelation when compared to most other carveries. The desserts are utterly indulgent. Magnificent morsels. The chefs know a thing or two about cooking, no doubt. The Fiveways has the advantage of being close to the farming areas of Ormskirk and Burscough, so its produce is probably much fresher than a lot of other places. Restaurants that is, let alone pubs. Whenever I've been the service has been really quick and friendly. Like Hex P my mum's also a pensioner (sorry mum) and she's a member of the Diamond Club - any over 50's get two courses for £6.25, which is a real bargain considering the calibre of the food.
