"Food is pretty good from here...if you can ever get them to accept your order. Out of the last 20 occasions I've tried ordering from this place, my order has been accepted 3 or 4 times. They either decline your order without any explanation or suddenly go offline shortly after you put your order in (leaving you however much out of pocket while you wait for the money to be returned to your account). Must be nice to be only open 4 hours a day and still turn away business."

"This restaurant review describes the writer's first Christmas lunch of the season, which set a high standard for future meals. The meal consisted of up to 3 courses for a little over £30. The special Christmas menu offered some options that were also available on the regular menu, but the turkey ballotine was the standout choice. The dish, surrounded by roast vegetables and served with gravy, was described as large, flavorful, and succulent. The lamb dish was also enjoyed with great compliments. The food was well presented and served by a friendly and talkative host. The writer is tempted to return for another meal at the restaurant."

"After visiting another restaurant on Chorley New Road, we decided to check out this new addition to their collection. We found the quirky two-level layout of the restaurant to be much more appealing. We used to go there when it was called Shadus, an Indian restaurant. Retreat has clearly invested a lot in the decor and ambiance, creating a very comfortable interior. For anyone who may have difficulty with stairs, I recommend requesting a table on the ground floor, as dining is available on both levels."

"We had a delightful Sunday lunch at this restaurant. Despite there being no roast options for Christmas, we all enjoyed choosing from the set menu. The highlight was the slow roast belly pork, which received high praise. The waiting and kitchen staff were friendly and efficient, and the manager was organized and ensured that everything ran smoothly during this busy time. Overall, it was a very good experience and we will definitely be returning."

"Cruising the Leeds Liverpool canal yesaterday on a hire canal boat with 8 other family and friends for a long delayed special birthday celebration we decided to stop to look for refreshments and a meal in Adlington. Walking round the village we stumbled across this restaurant on the main street and asked if they had a table for 9, we weren't sure they would have room as there was a Country Fair on and the streets and pubs were very busy. We were welcomed in and given a large table by their very attentive staff who immediately proceeded to see we were settled in and gave us menus whilst taking our orders for drinks. After being given time to select our food from the very wide choices on the menu, our order was taken, each of us chosing one main course but all varied. The food was served some little time later again with their pleasant staff personally attending to see that all was in order and we were allowed to enjoy, yes really enjoy, our choice from the freshly prepared food, pasta, pizza, soup and chips which were all delicious, generous in portions and very reasonable in price. The surrounings are rustic, very clean and modern and there is plenty of room for all the patrons to eat undisturbed by comings and goings and a complete absence of music which in some places can spoil the atmosphere when too loud. Very impressed by this lovely, welcoming restaurant and cannot speak highly enough of the ambience, pleasant welcoming staff, quality of food and reasonable prices. We certainly will hope to visit again. Thanks to all at Bistecca Mediteranean."
