Lovely setting, fabulous atmosphere. Host was really attentive and looked after us really well without being too much. Felt at ease and relaxed. Food was good value and tasted amazing. Prawns on toast, beef, encore burger and sticky toffee pud were exceptionally delicious! Will definitely go back soon !!

Visited Encore on a Sunday evening. The restaurant is hidden away from the town centre next to the local theatre. The food was outstanding. The best Sunday roast beautifully presented. Food and service was excellent throughout and tremendous value for money We had two children with us and we were made to feel very welcome. Relaxed and chilled atmosphere - just perfect. Had a peek at the new cocktail bar upstairs which is real hidden gem in Chorley (in the process of being extended) and somewhere we will be visiting soon. Seriously good food in a great restaurant.

We really wanted to love this place after seeing great reviews but it fell flat. We were sat right next to a very smokey serving hatch and asked to be moved to a vacant table, but this was reserved and we were told it would have been too complicated!! When another table became available and remained empty for the duration, we weren’t offered a move. My starter was the watermelon and cashew nut salad which was served with just the watermelon, sent this back and they apologised it had been served too early before being completed. The completed version was just odd and disappointing. Mains of the beef and pork were good but we had 3 interruptions from different waiting on staff saying ‘sorry to interrupt how is the meal?’ It felt awkward as there is a huge gap in the restaurant right infront of the smoky kitchen hatch and a small table either side. The kitchen extraction is a problem and the environment could do with some investment and upgrade as very dated.

This was my first visit to this restaurant having been many times when it was under a different name. We booked last minute before the theatre and were blown away by how beautiful our food was. We both had prawn toast followed by daube of beef - which was out of this world - and then a cheese selection. Tony looked after us and was lovely - very professional and attentive - and Chloe was friendly and served us efficiently too. All the staff were fab! We will definitely be returning here - a gem of a place

Had such a great evening sampling the new menu at Encore - always a delight to try something different, and as usual Gareth and his team have gone above and beyond. The beef was so tender and flavoursome, and the lemongrass chicken packed a punch. Recommendation - try the homemade limecello… it’s such a refreshing way to end the evening!

Hmmmm well this place had been recommended to us but we will not be returning. Nice enough place with the toilet pipes on the wall and back to front chairs but a lot of the food we wanted they didn’t have as sold out and the menu was different to what they had online. They brought another tables food to our table and service was just a little bit sloppy. The steak was quite tough. The chef also burnt himself which delayed the food slightly but we managed to fill the time with a nice catch up. Just not quiet the experience we would expect for the price.

I was looking forward to our visit to Encore but unfortunately the reviews are nothing like our experience. Only 3 tables with people at 8pm on a Saturday night. Encore burger on the menu was served as chicken. Fine but that should have been stated over beef. I'd have got just as good, if not better at kfc. Triple cooked chips were soggy. We won't be returning.
In-laws have just had Sunday lunch and have asked for me to send a review as they enjoyed it so much. Food was excellent, roast beef very tender, lamb was perfect. Vegetables perfectly cooked as always. Accompanied by delicious mash and wonderfully crispy roasties. Could not fault a thing. This local gem is thoroughly recommended.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Great value. Top quality food and a chef who can really cook, with flair and imagination. Good choice and also caters well for veggies and vegans. Gareth is very knowledgable about food, drink and his restaurant. Indeed he is passionate about them. His staff are friendly and efficient. There is a great cocktail bar upstairs and Gareth is a whizz with a cocktail shaker. Chorley is lucky to have this place.

We had a lovely meal today. Carrot and coriander soup with bread roll, seabass on casar salad. All delicious. Wished I hadn't been on a diet and could have tucked into what looked like amazing roast dinners with Yorkshire pudding! Excellent service.Vegetarian options: Tasty stir fried tofu dish
