Bennett's - West Lancashire

Unfortunately, this will be the final time we visit this restaurant. Our gut instinct told us to leave as soon as we arrived, but after spending £25 on a taxi, we decided to stay. Upon entering, we were not greeted and asked for our names, but instead encountered a noisy and cramped space. I had to act as the waiter and go to the bar to get a drinks menu. When our drinks arrived, they looked identical and were missing garnishes and ice. The server simply told us one had a straw in it to differentiate them. I then had to retrieve my own menu, as it was not offered to me. Our starters and mains were fresh and tasty, but the dessert experience was disappointing. My wife's dessert was so hard that the spoon got stuck in it. We asked for the bill multiple times, but it never arrived, so we left when our taxi arrived. The next day, the duty manager called me to say it was not acceptable to leave without paying, which was not our intention. I expect good service when paying for a meal. The atmosphere, service, and food were all subpar. I will never return to this restaurant, as we felt unwelcome and inconvenienced during our visit. It is a shame, as we were treated well during our previous visit. If you intend to be a restaurant, the sports bar image needs to be addressed. Send me the bill, and I will pay, but I will not be returning. Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

The hospitality at Bennett's Restaurant is incredible, and the food is fabulous. This was my first time dining here, and it definitely won't be my last. The overall dining experience was excellent, and I highly recommend it. The service, atmosphere, and food all receive a perfect rating of 5. The price per person for dinner is around £40-50.

Really nice place that surprised me. I was surprised it wasn't much busier tbh. Food was excellent without being overpriced for a hotel. Service excellent and we had a large party. Would go again.
