Lovely location for a great breakfast. Market day in Garstang on Thursdays, so this place opens at 9am. Proper, loose-leaf tea (makes all the difference), a beautiful dining area with comfy seating, although I must've been in an internet dead spot: it's a solid old stone building with thick walls and I was seated in the corner, but my meal arrived promptly and I had no reason to regret a lack of internet connection. A nicely-cooked, decent-sized breakfast with all the right components of a proper Full English, although I do wish that back bacon could stop getting used in favour of streaky, which actually crisps up and tastes far better, but that's a minor quibble. Two thick slices of toast on the side and - one of those little bits of thoughtfulness that goes a long way - beans in a pot of their own on the side, to make sure even fussy types feel looked after. The gents toilet is equally considerately designed, with enough space for anyone using a walker to get in and out comfortably. Dog-friendly inside, but pets aren't allowed up on seats for sensible reasons. The server has what seems like an encyclopaedic knowledge of pop music tunes - I reckon she'd be deadly in a pub quiz or a radio phone-in! Overall, a great find. They've got a wide selection of interesting-looking drinks on offer as well as lunchtime and evening menus too. Well...
Read morearrival - easy to find perfect temperature and lovely ambiance the menu has a lovely range of stuff
ordering- quick to come and take our order gave us plenty of time to decide
food- served beautifully, plates are so cute especially the main course plates and it all tasted gorgeous. the duck leg especially was out of this world- honestly, it was the best duck me and my partner have ever had. it came right off the bone, was so tender and the flavours were beautiful. I’ll be dreaming of that dish until I get to go back.
music- there was live music when we went- we loved the mix between acoustic, jazzy and crowd pleasers. added so much more to the already amazing venue.
staff- super nice, helpful and friendly, not pushy.
overall- the seasonal cocktails were the best ones - we had plenty of those
my only complaint is that i wish i ordered more.
thank you to the team, we can’t wait...
Read morePopped in after a lovely day in Lancaster with the other half.
We were greeted with a warm welcome by the lovely staff. So nice to see so much enthusiasm and passion from a young team.
The place itself was lovely and clean. Modern decor with a cosy touch.
The food was delicious I had the charcuterie with gherkin butter to start and the hubby to be had the prawn, salmon and avocado stack. Both very well presented and very tasty.. I wasn't expecting to like the butter but it worked really well.
Mains I had the mushroom ravioli with pesto from the specials board and he had the lamb cassoulet also off the specials board.
My ravioli was really well done the earthiness of the mushrooms were complimented by the basil pesto.
The cassoulet was amazing the lamb was so tender it melted in the mouth and the sauce was just delicious.
Fantastic food, fabulous service in a lovely cosy...
