Vardons Restaurant at Shaw Hill Hotel

Excellent food, value for money and lovely setting. Staff very helpful
Just a shame there was a party of females in that were very loud and it did spoil things slightly as they had no regard for other patrons

Both the quality of service and food were excellent. Menu offered great choice. Staff were welcoming and very professional. Meals were well prepared and served beautifully. Rib eye steak was exceptional. Portion sizes were plenty. Bar staff and waitresses were personable, made lots of effort and added great hospitality to the visit.

Food was excellent, l had the belly pork which was cooked to perfection.

The food was excellent, the staff were great, surroundings beautiful. We all enjoyed every bit of our evening thank you. We did find the restaurant a bit chilly, the weather was rubbish outside! It's a shame there weren't more customers present, it makes you try to be a bit quieter but this would not put us off visiting again in the near future.

We have been many timesthisvisit on the 30th was the best in all aspects

Really not a good experience from start to finish. Map sent with confirmation of booking email sent us to the centre of Chorley when the actual restaurant is 9 miles away. Table not ready. Drinks while we were waiting they got wrong. Sat us next to a radiator (on a lovely sunny day) that was so hot I burned my arm - we felt the heat as we were approaching the table. The waiter turned the radiator off but 15 mins later we were so hot we asked to be moved. They moved us and brought our drinks and tea/coffee over to us and gave us the wrong drinks (we were all drinking coke) I told the waitress mine was nearly empty and she still gave me one that was nearly full. Brought the tea and coffee over. Starters arrived - soup in an expresso cup was very nice but only 4 teaspoonfuls. Sausage rolls tiny but excellent. Brought the sandwiches (teenie tiny) soggy bread like it had been left on a wet plate. Coronation chicken was mainly raisins very little chicken. Teenie tiny cakes - cheese scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam? Really? But the scones were nice. No milk and sugar - they brought us some but the milk jug spilled everywhere. Dishes and plates from starter not removed from the small table we were on and we had to put our cakes on the same plate with spilled soup. A hair found in sandwiches. Complained to manager and after a 20 min wait he gave me 20% off the meal and a bottle of Prosseco (we dont drink). We left more than 20% of the food. Was a special treat for my 3 daughters in law who have looked after me since the death of my husband in 2011 and my upcoming marriage to my fiance. This was my hen weekend. Disappointed isnt the word. We booked this off your website as it came highly recommended for afternoon tea. There was a man after me who was also waiting to complain. Lovely venue but HIGHLY overpriced. I can get a beautiful afternoon tea in Shrewsbury for £18 for TWO (without the tiny soup)

relaxed dining environment, attentive service. super food and excellent value

Food was excellent. Will be back again in the future.

I booked afternoon tea for my mother birthday, the room it's self was beautiful, I had booked fireside and unfortunately I was informed on the day that this wasn't possible, but we was seated next to the window looking out at the golf grounds which was beautiful.
The staff that served us was friendly and very accommodating, we was never without a refill of coffee.
Would recommend to family and friends, the afternoon tea was beautifully displayed and very filling.

Christopher didn't enjoy his dinner of roast beef - it had a lot of fat and it was pink when he prefers old fashioned well cooked beef. I had pork steak which I enjoyed, the Black pudding mash was too much & unable to eat it up. We both enjoyed our tomato soup and the Eton Mess desserts also vegetables were good Lovely and comfortable restaurant with white clean cloths on tables. Waitress were very friendly and smart. We will come again but certainly wont be having riast beef!!
