Pan-Asian

Blackpool

About the restaurant

Our pan-Asian menu gathers influences of cooking styles from all around Asia; including Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, China, Indonesia and Vietnam. The design of the restaurant is influenced by some of our favourite places to eat and drink, it takes its cues from the street food ‘Hawker’ markets of Penang mixed with the reclaimed building feel of Budapest’s ruin bars. These places both have a magical feel, something that we’ve tried to recreate for the people of Blackpool to enjoy. Penang, Malaysia is an eclectic melting pot of various food styles, with influences from Indonesia, Thailand, India and China, dishes such as soup ramen and stone-baked donburi are two great examples of the depth in flavour, which can be created when different styles come together.

Beautiful Food and Outstanding View. Good service. Room looks slightly dated and could use refurbishment. Staff were all very lovely and tried their hardest but struggled with the card machine due to no signal which meant it took several attempts to pay the bill. Pleasure Beach IT needs to get them off 4G reader and onto a WIFI reader!

About the restaurant

At the Cartford Inn, we offer a brand of hospitality that is truly unique, hallmarked by an award-winning restaurant, boutique hotel, delicatessen and art gallery. Our location is enviable, with guests able to enjoy panoramic views of the Ribble Valley and Fylde countryside whilst dining. Our décor is quirky and eclectic, in keeping with our building’s 17th century heritage, but with a modernist twist.

Of course the main attraction is our 2-Rosette winning, Michelin recommended restaurant. Run by head chef Chris Bury, we offer the finest quality food without the fuss, in an atmosphere that is warm and unpretentious. Expect a discernible French influence, evidenced by our renowned French onion soup – a dish that is well worth a visit in its own right.

We look forward to welcoming you!

About the restaurant

Using only freshly sourced Lancashire ingredients, including fresh seasonal vegetables, juicy steaks, fresh fish along with deliciously prepared vegetarian options, we have a menu to suit all tastes. Being right on the North Lancashire and South Cumbria border, the Longlands Inn is surrounded by farmers offering some great local specialties. Fell-bred and salt-marsh lamb, fabulous cheeses, freshly-caught fish, are then all expertly prepared and cooked by our brilliant resident chef Mark Swanton.

The hotel has recently gone through a complete refurbishment of the downstairs areas and we have created cosy drinking areas, a mixtures of high and low seating and a private dining area. The open pass from the kitchen allows guests to see our kitchen in operation and all this leads to creating a lively buzz and great atmosphere.

About the restaurant

Artisan. It’s in our name. It’s who we are. It’s what we do.

Born out of passion of where we’re from; Artisan RV is a food celebration of county pride
and Ribble Valley love, infused with fantastic mouth-watering produce from our local,
cherry picked, independent award winning artisan producers.

All brought together under one roof, with a little added theatre and a modern twist…

We love Artisan but their Sunday roast is exceptional!! I like my beef very rare and the cooking and quality is second to none. More than adequate portions of nicely al dente vegetables served impeccably. Service is efficient and staff are pleasant. Lovely Sunday meal.
