Planks Kitchen — Restaurant in Borough of Wyre

Not one to leave reviews (or essays in this case, sorry!) but felt this place needed it as these hidden gems deserve all the support they can get!

Came to visit my mum today from Manchester and was a little bewildered as to why we were going to a furniture place to eat but was pleasantly surprised to see the oasis that is Planks Kitchen!

We weren't aware they close early but they were more than happy to accommodate us. The food and juices were truly delicious and the menu was great too, plenty of vegan options and you can tell lots of thought had gone in to the offering. The service was even better. Genuine service with a smile from people that care that is so hard to find these days and sitting outside in the sun was a bonus.

I feel this place deserves to be in a busy city somewhere. It could easily fit into Manchester's Northern Quarter and more people would be able to enjoy their food but maybe the fact it isn't is what gives it its charm as you still get that personal Northern hospitality!

Will definitely be back again to try other items on the menu and the deli as they were sold out by the time we got there.

My only complaint is that I live too far away to come more often as I'd be here every day if this was on my doorstep!

As someone who works in the restaurant industry and knows how hard things have been recently, I just wanted to say well done guys...

Called in midday on a Saturday, we reserved a table ahead of time (would recommend doing so, it was very busy, although nobody was being turned away).

We chose this place as we knew it had good plant based options, and was also dog friendly. We checked in and got to our seat, after smiling at some of the other dogs being well behaved sat with their parties 🐶

We had to wait about 30 mins for food, after ordering at the till, which we put down to how busy the place was. All the staff were super polite, courteous and friendly.

We had the deli bowl with some additional fixings (this weeks rotation was Indian food), it was delicious, and a really good example of how plant based food can be flavourful, varied and adventurous!

Cakes after were equally delicious, although somebody ahead in the queue took the last chocolate and orange slice (all the more reason to return soon!). Again, plenty of plant based options, well labelled at the counter.

Overall thoroughly enjoyed and will definitely return, will try when not so busy but don't let that put you off, it's well worth checking...

I take no joy in this complaint , it looks fab. We came on Sunday , sat down a larger group spread over two tables . The entire staff watched us set up choose seats and then settle . when it came to the order , they asked if we have made a reservation which we had not , then we was told the table was taken - no reserve sign on it and the fact we spent 10 minutes in there before even telling us ? Absolutely ridiculous!!!!! We then missed breakfast , which was super annoying as we had 4 hungry children and a diabetic. It's not the end of the world , there's worse things to worry about and I hate being so negative , I should stress it looks fantastic ,so if you're local check it out and hopefully you will have...
