Sirloin?

[Mike Graham]

Sirloin?

Stuart, no it was at the Tower itself.

There were lots of complaints on the day.

[Stuart]

Poor show.

Being where it is, a place like that will rely on it's reputation to get punters in. Hard won and easily lost.

[thenodrog]

I think Stuart was making a joke.

You should've gone to Salmesbury Hall.

[gumboots]

Going to the assheton arms on Sunday for the big 60 birthday bash. Hopefully it will be good

[Mike Graham]

Sorry, missed the joke......it's that time of the month.

Should have gone to Samlesbury Hall instead.

I was but then I thought maybe Sirloin was also the name of a suite in the restaurant.

A suite? Nah Sirloins definitely a main course.

Is that the Rishton one

[ABBEY]

Yup

[yoda]

Don't know if it is still as good but i used to prefer the Shaha Joli up at Clayton, the chicken tikka and chillies was awesome

[ABBEY]

Food is really good but poor service.

[yoda]

ok, that happens when you get too busy sometimes (even to the best of us )

Me too. Bloody great it was...... Mind it's 20 years ago when I last lived near there so no doubt the owners have changed.

I used to live around the corner until circa a year ago, and never went. Plenty of choice for Indian takeaways in that area to be fair!

Someone I know who lives around the corner ordered online 1 hour AFTER me and got theirs delivered in 20 mins !

Sounding like they have lost the plot a bit, is it still the 2 brothers

Went to the newly-reopened Spread Eagle at Mellor yesterday evening after the match.

Overall impression was good. Friendly welcome, broad choice of starters and mains, 4 real ales.

Everyone in our group enjoyed their food. Higher than average prices but I would go again.

Many there Willie?

Many there Willie?

We were booked in at half five. Bit tight for post-match but that was the only table they had free until after nine.

For those who like to use The Dressers at Wheelton it was ablaze at 6.00am today. Flames 12-15 feet above roof apex. All three services present so hopefully no one injured.

[thenodrog]

Just been on the local news on BBC breakfast.

Just the dressers or the Chinese too?

The main fire appeared to be at the end of the building further from the main road. I'd guess the whole place would be damaged and out of use for sometime.

My lad was at school and I think is still friendly with the couple who run the Chinese. We also vaguely know the folk who live next door. Fingers crossed for all these people

[ABBEY]

Bad news. Re Dressers

I don't know what it was like but when i used to live in Brinscall it was a right posers place with no marks who thought they were royalty.
