Decent restaurants in and around town?

Went to the moorings in Barrow last Friday with the missus and won't be rushing back.

 

Italian food menu but limited in offerings, it was tasty enough without being top tier.

Service though was utter shambles from start to finish, needs a manager to sort the kid staff working in there.

 

Off to the three crowns tomorrow night for our anniversary, really looking forward to it.

Honestly don't know why the Moorings have gone down that route. It's pricey if I remember. 

Crap service totally spoils the evening, how doesn't the management see that?

 

Not heard a bad thing about the food at the 3 crowns and anytime Ive been in for a pint the owner makes sure the service is good. Famous last words.......enjoy.

£19 for Nduja risotto so a little pricey.

 

There wasn't any visible management that I could see, just seemed like no one knew what they were doing.

 

Cheers! Looking forward to it 😀

I know it's not in or around town, but not far at away at all for anyone north of the county.

 

Hickorys smoke house.

 

Brisket Sub with dipping gravy was another world.

I've found The Moorings alright at lunchtimes, if a little pricey for what you get.

 

Three Crowns food always smells great. Shame they sacked off opening during the day.

The moorings is a chavvy gaff

 

Or was every time I've been in

Not technically a restaurant but Leicester institution Currant Affairs is moving from Loseby Lane. Unfortunately, I think its long term future is likely limited.

 Wish he did or at least throw in a few free poppadom's!

 

Love the place, cant rate it highly enough.

Would you rate it 1000000/1000000?
