Re: Places to eat or not to eat.
 

Thanks Cashman I know where it is now so will give it a try.! I know the Rose and Crown sometimes call in there on Thurs nights when they have an act on! Good thinking too Spuggie J about a really good Steak, and I must admit I think they are a bit thin on the ground around here! Used to get a Beauty at Callums but thats gone now, the last good one I had was at Chimes but hav'nt been there for a while. So come on Steak lovers point us in the right dirrection please!. :)

We were going to try The Calder, the new pub in town on Saturday lunchtime for a treat on Christmas Eve but I believe they don't allow children in even at lunchtimes

We had been meaning to go for ages.........it spoiled Neils birthday...won't be going again.

Re: Places to eat or not to eat.
 

you beat me too it gary... just what i was going to say .......been there on numerous occasions ...never been disappointed yet.

Re: Places to eat or not to eat.
 

Went here last Christmas Eve and this.. only small and this year my family and I (just 6 of us) were the only people in the restaurant. The food was excellent and we were treated like Royalty. You know, really big juicy prawns in the prawn cocktail, etc.
Only problem is people from the wine bar underneath have to go through the restaurant to get to the toilet and can create a draft every time the door opens. Apart from that, I thought excellent value .. sure he added the bill up wrong. :D

They don't allow kids at all. IMHO thats a shame, Julie and I often have lunch in town at weekend but as we are usually pushing Siobhan it means its off our list of possible venues. What would be wrong with kids till say 5PM? We went in yesterday as grandma was looking after Siobhan. The food was OK and not expensive. They had run out of a core menu item though(Chicken and stuffing pudding) so I had to choose something different.

They do real ale from a hand pump unfortunately the staff have no idea how to pull a good pint. My Flowers had no head left before I left the bar.

I wouldn't bother Gayle I went for my office Christmas party and it was awful, by that I mean slow service and cold food.:sick:

Ok here goes i know it's not in Accrington but the Duke Of Wellington is good on Grane Road and La Veranda is good as well at Station Steps going into Haslingden. I dont know if they still do it but they used to do a special offer there on Tues Wed and Thurs a 3 course meal for £10 main course had to be either pizza or pasta. You get loads. The Chinese at Acre is good as well just across the road from Winfields.
