The Stork Hotel
Corricks Ln, Conder Green, LancasterReally nice Sunday dinner at the Stork. Was absolutely fantastic, most had roast dinner (beef, turkey or Lamb shank) and everyone had good reviews. Free extra gravy and Yorkshire puddings were a bonus! We all had desserts and sticky toffee pudding was fantastic - really good food all around.
Atmosphere could have been slightly better (however we came mid Sunday afternoon), looked like lots of tables were reserved for later on. However the pub is a nice space to eat and lots of space - not cramped at all.
Our “what could be better” was the coffee at the end of the meal - was quite weak.
We can’t wait to come back - thanks for a great meal.

I had the roast beef which was beautiful and my partner had the trio of meat which he thoroughly enjoyed and my dad had the pork which he said was also beautiful. Amazing roast potatoes and a nice selection of vegetables. We opted for 2 portions of honey and mustard chipolatas (should have only ordered 1 as there were lots) I also added the cauliflower cheese which was one of the nicest I've ever had out.
Excellent service and a lovely atmosphere.

Greaves Park
Bowerham Rd, LancasterVisited here on the 26/10/24 for my sister’s 21st. Where to start, the building itself is old and beautiful, and feels like you are in a castle! The staff were super friendly, wishing my sister a happy birthday when they saw the badges and the happy birthday decor we put in the table where she was sat. I opted for soup of the day which was carrot and butternut squash. The soup was delicious and came with warm bread that tasted homemade! I had the steak and ale pie and as you can see from the pictures of my main, proper portion sizes! This sets a bench mark for other pubs to follow in suite in portion sizes! I was so full after my meal I skipped pudding and opted for a tasty cappuccino! Others in the group had Americano and they offered milk instead of just putting it on the table which is rare nowadays. Service and food were superb! The toilets were spotless and the decor, seats and tables were great, gave a warm, romantic feeling. I will deffo be back and may even have a meal here before xmas! The staff could not do enough for us and were enthusiastic which was great! Can’t wait to come back here and without a doubt the best meal I have had out in a while and is mow in my top 3 places to eat out in! Keep up the great work, and thank you for making my sister’s 21st 1 to remember! On a final note I suspect all the food is homemade and cooked/served to order!

Very knowledgeable lady behind the bar that put great effort into making our drinks and was chatty at the same time which was nice.It's table service. We were given a card to turn over when we wanted another drink which is a great idea and we received super quick service.I'm not keen on the high metal stools that are hard to get on if you are a shorter or 'larger' person and they make a lot of noise as they scrape on the floor or bang into the table legs.I would love to give 5 stars but sadly I've been to nicer looking places and had cheaper cocktails as good in other cities.Would be nice to see some other offers on the menu such as buy 1 get one for 1/2 price as they are very expensive when buying individually.

Iceland Supermarket Lancaster
22 Perpignan Way, LancasterI just wanted to write a special mention about Jean from today at 1.15pm in Lancaster. For the quick 5 minutes that I was in the store, Jean went out of her way to help the 2 people in front of me on the tills. The first was a lady who she advised that if she picks one more item up it would be free (on a 3 for 2 offer). The second was an old man buying a loaf of bread, he handed her the £1 and she offered to help him count his change instead to "make his pockets lighter". Jean really is the definition of "going the extra mile". Both of these services were unnecessary but was incredibly kind of her. It's very rare to see people take such care in customer service these days but is very heart warming to see.

Sultan of Lancaster Experience
Lancaster University, Bailrigg, LancasterCouldn’t recommend enough everyone there is friendly and happy to talk to you they get new menu items often enough so it’s not just the same things over and over and if you’re looking for a challenge you can order the “Kong burger” it’s one hell of a burger I love this place.
Vegetarian options: They have a vegan and vegetarian menu
Kid-friendliness: Free lollipops

Golden Jade Chinese Restaurant
91 King St, LancasterI've both eaten in and taken away from here and every time it has been amazing, it's my favourite Chinese restaurant in Lancaster. The menu is huge, including delicious vegan meals such as tofu and mock chicken, duck and beef which are all very convincing alternatives. Food is always fresh and you get much bigger portions for your money than most other takeaways. Everything is absolutely delicious and the staff are lovely. Takeaways always arrive in good time.

Well worth a visit particularly if your hungry....

The Cross Keys
Main Rd, Slyne, LancasterCame here for a Sunday roast and it did not disappoint. I had the roast beef which was beautiful and my partner had the trio of meat which he thoroughly enjoyed and my dad had the pork which he said was also beautiful. Amazing roast potatoes and a nice selection of vegetables. We opted for 2 portions of honey and mustard chipolatas (should have only ordered 1 as there were lots) I also added the cauliflower cheese which was one of the nicest I've ever had out.
Excellent service and a lovely atmosphere.
We will definitely be back again.

Greaves Park
Bowerham Rd, LancasterVisited here on the 26/10/24 for my sister’s 21st. Where to start, the building itself is old and beautiful, and feels like you are in a castle! The staff were super friendly, wishing my sister a happy birthday when they saw the badges and the happy birthday decor we put in the table where she was sat. I opted for soup of the day which was carrot and butternut squash. The soup was delicious and came with warm bread that tasted homemade! I had the steak and ale pie and as you can see from the pictures of my main, proper portion sizes! This sets a bench mark for other pubs to follow in suite in portion sizes! I was so full after my meal I skipped pudding and opted for a tasty cappuccino! Others in the group had Americano and they offered milk instead of just putting it on the table which is rare nowadays. Service and food were superb! The toilets were spotless and the decor, seats and tables were great, gave a warm, romantic feeling. I will deffo be back and may even have a meal here before xmas! The staff could not do enough for us and were enthusiastic which was great! Can’t wait to come back here and without a doubt the best meal I have had out in a while and is mow in my top 3 places to eat out in! Keep up the great work, and thank you for making my sister’s 21st 1 to remember! On a final note I suspect all the food is homemade and cooked/served to order!

Hodgson's Chippy
96 Prospect St, LancasterFantastic quality fish and chips. The customer service from the staff is also top quality. I preordered online and intended to pick up my order after work. Unfortunately a crash on the motorway delayed my arrival meaning I exceeded the pick up time hugely. Unprompted and upon arrival, the staff informed me that they would prepare a fresh batch to ensure that the fish was perfect. Quality service from a great local business that places an emphasis on quality food.

The Herbarium
5, 7 Great John St, LancasterI love The Herbarium it is one of the best cafes in town. I spend many Monday's here doing work with a hot chocolate and am always meeting friends for a catch up over delicious vegan food! The staff are all fab too and always very helpful and kind. I also love their 'write a compliment, pick a compliment' idea. 10/10.

Aroma Chef
30 Market St, LancasterBest authentic Chinese / sichuan food in Lancaster. I order the sweetheart cabbage dish every time ?? don’t bother looking at the British Chinese menu.
Note they are always closed during summer holidays!
(Also note that just because it’s a tofu dish doesn’t mean it’s vegetarian!)

Gallico Lounge
Unit 3, 7-17 Market St, LancasterFood and service was amazing. My friend asked for the gluten free menu and I can say we were both shocked at the size of the menu, very rare to see gluten free catered for so well. Thankyou. Very impressive. We will be back and highly recommend.

The Stonewell Tap
8-10 Church St, LancasterAn excellent craft ale bar. The staff are really friendly and know their beer, which isnt the cheapest, but hey, theres a Wetherspoons in Lancaster so if thats what you want....It has quiet corners. The only thing that lets it down is Saturday late afternoon early evening it seems to attract a group of blokes who's conversational style is to SHOUT AT EACH OTHER VERY LOUDLY and some who are clearly so pissed they shouldnt really be served. But a great bar nonetheless.
