Firstly, staff are lovely with good service on a busy day.Came a few years ago, wasn't impressed then (had a feel for being from the 90's), been a few times in the last 6 months for family gatherings (so not my choice to go but always willing to give somewhere another try) and my overall assessment remains.Decor has been updated, so doesn't look too bad now (but still not going to age well), however, food still feels like it's a 90's throwback and what you get doesn't really match the price, it's not expensive (£25 or so per head) but generally low quality, low flavour with a boil in the bag, microwave oven feel.No doubt some foods are made fresh, garlic mushrooms okay, salmon not bad but the majority has the feel and taste of food that comes frozen from one of the large industrial suppliers, one dish on our table was served with what was clearly Bisto gravy and any even half-decent chef/cook is able to make home made gravy, this coupled with every main dish appearing to come with a weird serving of mashed carrot and sweed more suited to an old folks home, means I'd go out of duty but nothing else.

Lovely food but such an increase in prices.Loved the lasagne. I had a side salad too, but £3.80 for a small side salad is crazy!!The dining area is now beautifully modern and attractive 😃

We had a surprise 60th birthday meal there. The meal was very nice apart from the chips. 5 people didn't eat them as they tasted like they had been re-heated. Complained about them at the end to the management who didn't even apologise or offer any reason why. Won't be going back there in a hurry.

A nice clean place, great food, and friendly staff. The Worston Whale, is positively the largest battered fish, that I've ever eaten. I've gone past this place many times, but previously never stopped. I would certainly recommend a visit to here.

Great food & great value. Loads of staff who were all really friendly. Beer was good too. We'll definitely return there.

Good food and breakfast with a friendly welcome. Excellent choice of draught beers. Rooms are variable in the same price range - a small double may only have room for a bed.

Lovely place, with plenty of space, but the fact we were forgotten about once we were seated, took the shine off our visit there. Had to ask for a menu twice. Food was lovely when it arrived, although the roast potatoes were a little bit tough and dry. Still recommended this place though, as a nice place to take your parents for a meal.

Fabulous food set in a beautiful part of Lancashire. Good prices at a fair price along with a menu selection that suits all tastes. I'd advise to book in advance and the staff are welcoming and friendly.

The food we had was from the Christmas menu ( mushroom Wellington ) and was lovely but there is a real lack of vegetarian options in the regular menu... Only a cheese and onion pie or cheese quiche with salad. The staff were really friendly.
