Scottish Steak Club - South Ribble

Plates went cold house wine poor overpriced. Steaks came as ordered but with minimal accompaniements.

The restaurant has a fantastic setting overlooking the river and good quality furniture. The staff are great, friendly attentive and helpful. The reason we wont be going again and why I cant recommend it to my fellow travellers is because the food we had was average, very overpriced and the worst aspect by far was extortionate wine prices. This is not a fancy restaurant yet a simple ribeye steak was £27 for an 8oz (220g) steak with a few chips, one yes one medium sized mushroom and half a tomato with a smattering of rocket. I wish I had stuck with a glass of water as a drink as the £29 bottle of wine was mediocre to say the least Gable View 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon and retails in french supermarkets for £2.29. Google it if you think I am kidding. Even in this couintry £5.79. That is one hell of a mark up and I feel truly ripped off.

There were 10 of us for a family meal on a Sunday night. Not surprisingly it was very quiet. Service was good and the food was nice and good value especially the desserts. The wines are very expensive malbec £45 a bottle which though good seemed overpriced. The service was good. Slightly strange experience at the end we asked to sit the bill 5 ways , £90 each (a reasonable tip included). The server put £98 in the machine. Her English was poor so presumably a mistake not sure how £90 can be confused for £98 though! It's a good location and the food is good so we are likely to go again.

We recently stayed at the hotel and booked a table in the restaurant, the service was good and the staff attentive. The food was average at best and overpriced, £22 for a 6oz rump steak is outrageous. And then it was overcooked and had to be sent back, how can a steak restaurant overcook a rump from a medium rare to a well done.. By the time my husbands steak returned I had finished my meal so my husband and I didn't enjoy the experience at all. On top of that when he did get his second steak it was still wrong now it was medium to well done with several of the hand cut chips under cooked but he was past complaining so ate it and we retired. We did not leave a tip.. The next morning the hotel breakfast was in the same restaurant and that was quite lovely served by lovely staff. If we were to return to this hotel we definitely would not eat in this restaurant in the evening again.

My husband and I stayed over in the hotel for a business meeting and invited a supplier to join us. After drinks at the bar we went to the restaurant. Our orders was taken and we received our drinks first. My husband and I ordered the same food we had a week ago in Loch Ronnach. The portions was smaller. As other people commented on the steak. It is cold and small. We did not complaint as we had guest. We told the staff in the morning. We will stay in the hotel again but will not have a meal in the restaurant again. Not value for money. Breakfast was good.
