Lakeside Coffee House Ltd in South Ribble

Great place for a little lunch with grandchildren, feeding the fish and ducks on the little lake. Donkeys and chickens etc. Really nice.

The Afternoon Tea was recommended to me. I live in America so for Mother’s Day I ordered 2 gift cards for each mother. On the website it asks for a shipping address when ordering and says you’ll be emailed when shipped. After a week and they hadn’t arrived, I emailed them no reply. I then asked my mother to go in and ask them. Apparently they don’t ship you have to go in person. Why have a shipping address?

Had afternoon tea here for the second time. Food was presented lovely. However I feel 4 huge cakes are really to much for one person! Would rather have less cake and maybe more savory as we only had 4 triangle sandwiches each. But a lovely experience. We were provided with a snack box to take out cakes home 🏡

Went for a family baby shower. Tea was cold. Food wasn't great wouldn't go again. This was in the cafe only didn't go yo any other part of the place.

Had my baby shower here.. The afternoon tea was lovely! Unfortunately the table set out wasn't the best as half of my guests had their backs to each other. Also, we were informed when we arrived that due to Covid restrictions the door would have to be left open, it was snowing outside and I spent the whole afternoon shivering, all my guests had to sit with their coats on! I thought they should of informed me of that and I could of dressed appropriately or just opened a window. I was under the impression from the description of the "luxury baby shower" that it would be quite interactive with games but there was only 1 fill out game and baby bingo at the end. Overall I left feeling a bit disappointed and freezing! I would definitely recommend the afternoon tea, just make sure you wrap up!

We went for tea with Santa on Saturday. What an amazing experience!!!!!!! The staff were so attentive and the food.....well.....what can I say? The 1st cake stand came out ( we thought oh no, how can we make this go round 5 of us) sandwiches, cakes, gingerbread man. It was put in front of the 2 year old so she dived in. Then a larger one arrived and placed between the 4 year old and the 10 year old. We thought...perfect..just enough for the 4 of us remaining. NO.....an even larger one arrived for the 2 adults!!!!!!!! Gosh....had to take most of it home. The children got hot chocolate with marshmallows and even served the 2 year old separate so not too hot!!!!!

The general state of the place was dirty, floors were covered in food deposits. I was served my coffee, and some of it was splashed into my saucer on delivery; for this there was no apology, or not even change of saucer, my wife had to clean it with serviettes. The place, in general, looked tired.

Had my daughters baby shower on Sunday lovelly place food good but they wouldn't let us close door and it was snowing outside everyone was freezing cold and a few people have been ill ever since .

Seemed nice but despite signs saying breakfast was served til 11.30 on Sundays, they wouldn’t serve us after 11. Shame, and takeaway food wasn’t that great.

I had a bad experience here today. The blonde waitress was very rude. After ordering gluten free, they put crisps made in a factory that uses gluten over my poor sandwich, I politely pointed this out. I have Ceoliac disease and cannot tolerate any cross contamination. The waitress came over 4 times to argue with me that the crisps were fine. I was with 4 other new friends and it was very embarrassing having to explain my medical condition. The crisps did not say gluten free on them, and I’ve been ill before eating those crisps. Very disappointing service, go somewhere else!
