The Whitaker - Rossendale

I ordered the roast beef, but was served a cardboard-like Yorkshire pudding, dry cauliflower cheese with no sauce, and practically raw broccoli and cauliflower. The meal was inedible. There was no check back from the staff, and the service was poor. We will not be returning to dine here again. It is a shame to see the decline in quality at this establishment.

A group of friends and I met for lunch at this restaurant. The staff was friendly and efficient. The food was delicious - some of us had the king prawn skewers with couscous, while one person tried the celeriac dish from the special menu. I highly recommend trying the specials.

This restaurant prioritizes the comfort of male patrons over female customers. I visited their gender neutral restroom after a man had used it and encountered a puddle of urine in front of the toilet, a dirty seat, and no hook to hang my bag. I felt very uncomfortable. It seemed that the restaurant ignored the fact that men tend to be messier than women and dismissed my concerns in the name of being "inclusive".

After a walk we decided to have breakfast as a treat. Disappointed doesn't even cover it . Food was overcooked and over priced, pretentious is a word that comes to mind. pounds for breakfast!! I am happy to pay for food if the quality...is a match of the price. Then was addressed at the till as love and questioned when I declined putting a gratuity on the bill. Needless to say we will not return.

Just an awful, awful restaurant. Food was served cold and was given dirty looks when asked for it to be heated. Couldn’t remember who had what when bringing it back out. Made to feel like the problem when trying to get this resolved. Particularly pathetic...when you consider that this was Sunday lunch and only two meats were picked by the six of us so essentially the same food being prepared for all. Not cheap either. Avoid.
