Always had good meals at the Whittakers Arms on Burnley Road.
Had the reception after the wedding there and everything was wonderful from the food to the service.

Must admit Padiham Lass, don't think a one-off with the Walton. I went there as a joint meal for myself and son's birthdays mid June ... very disappointing to what it used to be. My chicken caesar salad with saute potatoes tasted all the same ... you know that chargrilled/oily taste.. yuk. Didn't think anyone could get this wrong, but they did.

My son had the lamb, didn't complain, there again he would eat a hedgehog if put in front of him. Service was slow too.

Seem to remember saying daughter had been for a meal at Walton Arms a couple of months ago and they weren't impressed either!!!

Thanks, not really sure would I would enjoy eating them after someone had spent time playing with them , seems more hygenic if they went straight from the scoop onto the plate/into the bag ...;)

From what I understand there are worse things that go on in restaurant kitchens than some one stacking the fries.:rolleyes:

One of the benefits of liking steak blue is that it can never be undercooked! :D

They can always cremate it a bit more for you cashy!

It amazes me how many people like their steak "well done" when really this means " tough and dried out"

when doing my catering C&G the chef blindfolded a group of students and fed them steak, some rare, some med and some well done. they were asked which was tastiest and it was unanimous for rare, even teh girls who went "Urrrggghhhh" when they saw what they had eaten agreed it was by far teh tasiest and tender

Re: Places to eat or not to eat.
 

Has it gone upmarket ?, Mr C.

Re: Places to eat or not to eat.
 

the whole point is, not they cremate it a bit more, they give ya what ya bloody ordered.:(

Re: Places to eat or not to eat.
 

problem is one person's well done is anothers medium
yes there shouldn't be blood but IMHO its a waste of good cow to cook it beyond medium!

Re: Places to eat or not to eat.
 

thing is ya order a meal, it aint right. ya tell em, they take it away to remedy= wife then eating on her own, steak returns- wife finished or nearly finished, evening ruined,thats NOT what i go fer meal for.:(

Went to the old King Street club last night to what is now an Indian buffet style restaurant(Massalla,i think it's called)and very good it was too,if,like me,you like filling your face for as little cash layout as possible.About 40 dishes to choose from(though i was dissapointed to only manage 37).If theres no indian dish on display that you want the chef will knock it together for you if you request it.Beware the Cobra beer though....£2.75 a pint.£42 for me & the missus for food + 2 pints & & 2 bottles of plonk:)
