Buccelli's - Authentic Italian Restaurant,
29 Church St, LancasterMy wife and I had lunch here. It’s an unpretentious and understated small Italian restaurant. It looks and feels authentic, we were in Rome recently and ate in a small restaurant that was pretty much the double of this one. The menu is pleasingly straightforward with a good choice of freshly made dishes. The service is friendly and helpful, and we felt very relaxed. I ordered pasta and my wife had pizza: the food was delicious, I’d go so far as to say the best Italian food I’ve eaten. Portion sizes are not over-facing, so you can eat the whole dish without feeling that you’re ploughing through to get to the end. I finished off with Tiramisu, which was light and full of flavour - you could taste the slight kick of liqueur, unlike the bland sponge and cream Tiramisu offered in many restaurants, many of which we regularly frequent. Next time we are in Lancaster we will be returning for lunch and I recommend you seek out this restaurant if you want quality Italian food.

Jasmine Garden
2 Newsham Rd, LancasterWow! Well now—pull up a chair and let me testify. What can I say? This is the best Chinese I’ve indulged in for quite some time. Truly, really fantastic. From the very first bite, it announced itself not as a mere takeaway, but as an experience.
The salt and pepper chips, if I may be so bold, stole the whole darn show. Crispy on the outside, fluffy within, absolutely packed with flavour—balanced, confident, and unapologetic. Dare I say it? The best I’ve ever had. A bold claim, I know, but I stand by it under oath.
Then we arrive at the chicken fried rice. Portions off the charts, a generous and honest chicken-to-rice ratio, and plenty of egg woven through it like a well-plotted alibi. The rice itself? Not too dry, not too sticky—walking that narrow tightrope and landing squarely in perfection. The chicken was well cooked, flavourful, juicy. Simply incredible. No notes.
And finally, the delectable sweet and sour chicken. My goodness. This was beautiful. That sauce didn’t merely coat the chicken—it performed a tango on my tongue, a harmonious dance of sweet and sharp that bordered on the otherworldly. There’s really not much else to be said when flavour speaks this fluently.
Enough said. This isn’t just one of the best Chinese takeaways. Scrap that—this is the best takeaway of any cuisine I’ve ever had. I truly believe this is what Homer was referring to when he spoke of the “nectar of the Gods.”
And let us not overlook the human element: the staff are consistently positive, attentive, and kind—details that matter, clues that complete the picture. I would recommend this incredible establishment to absolutely everyone. Case closed

The Bombay Balti is exactly what you expect from an Indian restaurant. I have not sampled the entire menu however, I have visited countless times and never been disappointed. This is family run with great service and attentive staff. It is a great place to dine on your own or as a group. Food is served in more than ample quantities - you will not leave hungry. My last meal here was a Chicken Dhansak spiced to my taste on request. Delicious. Thank you to all who make this place one to return to.

Brew
18a Brock St, LancasterWhat 18a lacks in space and tables it makes up for in the quality of its coffee. This is a niche preference of mine, but the foam on the latte I ordered was delicious and well made. The roast was smooth with some tang and felt somewhat nutty but balanced by a soft aftertaste. It arrived at the perfect temperature to drink, and the food looked delicious - I got a good view as the tables at the back especially are not designed for the more introverted soul. The coffee was expensive (£3.90) but well worth the price if you are able to spend it. I will rate 4 stars simply due to the close space and the fact that I think that, while delicious, the coffee is missing that certain something. However, if you aren’t as coffee-obsessed as me, this is a 5 star experience.

Hodgson's Chippy
96 Prospect St, LancasterAbsolutely outstanding fish and chips. The food was cooked fresh and was full of flavour - easily the best we’ve had. Friendly staff, spotless shop, and you can really tell they care about quality. Worth every penny and we’ll be back.

Brew
18a Brock St, LancasterWhat 18a lacks in space and tables it makes up for in the quality of its coffee. This is a niche preference of mine, but the foam on the latte I ordered was delicious and well made. The roast was smooth with some tang and felt somewhat nutty but balanced by a soft aftertaste. It arrived at the perfect temperature to drink, and the food looked delicious - I got a good view as the tables at the back especially are not designed for the more introverted soul. The coffee was expensive (£3.90) but well worth the price if you are able to spend it. I will rate 4 stars simply due to the close space and the fact that I think that, while delicious, the coffee is missing that certain something. However, if you aren’t as coffee-obsessed as me, this is a 5 star experience.

The Royal Oak
Main St, Hornby, LancasterThe pub is great. It's a just a shame Thwaites don't produce more interesting beers. The beer however was well kept and we enjoyed our visit. The food looked good but we didn't eat. Worth a visit if you want to stop in Hornby.

The Stonewell Tap
8-10 Church St, LancasterThis is a proper little gem of a pub and out of the pubs I’ve visited in Lancaster today, it has to be one of my favourites.
James the barman made us feel welcome and we as happy to chat about the beers on tap, so we had an idea of which ones to go for. We had our seven year old son with us, so it was nice to be able to enjoy a lovely pub with a cracking selection of beers and it to be child friendly. I’m looking forward to coming back.

Pizza Margherita
2 Moor Lane, LancasterFirst time back at Pizza Margherita since 1981 and brilliant to see that it's still going strong after all these years! It was full on a Friday evening and staff coped admirably well with the many demands of all sorts of sized groups. The pizzas are a good size and all described as very tasty by our group; the vegan lasagne was delicious and the deserts were all excellent. The room is clean, bright and welcoming, much as I remembered it. A very fine local restaurant.

Bowerham Rd, LancasterHad a lovely Saturday lunch with work colleagues. Food was much better than last time I went about 5 years ago. Great selection on the menu with good food. Lost a point on service as they forgot to bring two of the tables desserts until we reminded them but everyone else had finished theirs by then.
