The Borough Lancaster

This is the most disappointed I've been in a long time. I've been so looking forward to eating chicken in the basket since I'd seen it on their lunch time menu. I took my wife out as a treat following a week in hospital. I obviously ordered my chicken in the basket and Pam ordered Macaroni cheese. My plate arrived with 3 stips of chicken in batter, peas and french fries on a plate, Pams mac and cheese was over stodgy and tasteless. She took it back to the bar and the manageress basically said eat it or leave it you'll still have to pay. She then ordered a burger that came in a 3" bun charred round the edges, she managed to eat about 25% of it. The manageress came over to ask how things were, I told her that this was the funniest chicken in the basket I've ever had, and said I'm still waiting to see the basket, that didn't even raise a smile My wife pointed out the charred burger but she didn't even care. No sorry or anything. I paid the bill just under £30 I'm sure if I knew the law better i could have refused to pay. At lest i know they will never get another penny out of me or my friends or family

The Borough Hotel is a best choice to stay in Lancaster, whether on business or visiting the historic city of Lancaster out of interest. Centrally situated, the Georgian Hotel has a very good restaurant, although the breakfast included offer is not available for third party bookings, such as through *******. Still, the very good breakfasts on offer in the Restaurant are not very expensive. The staff are lovely and most helpful. Lancaster is a student city and the young people enhance the vibrant live music availability in the local hostelries of the city. Everything is in easy walking distance, making Lancaster an excellent choice for a short break for the not so young as well as those who also like to potter about the numerous shops and eateries in the commercial streets and arcades adorning the city centre. Of some note is the impressive Georgian architecture which adorns much of the City. Good choice all round.

Friends were staying at the hotel and we joined them for dinner. They were fulsome in their praise of their room, the service, and the breakfast in particular. Our evening meal was exceptional, and our experience was greatly enhanced by the professional and personable Reece. Recommend the Lancashire cheese and red onion pie. Thank you for persuading me, Reece! We wouldn't hesitate to stay and/or dine here should we be in the area again.

From Guinness on arrival served by a lovely polite lady, to a fabulous room with a view over Dalton Square, a brilliant dinner, bed & breakfast deal, lamb hotpot exceptional, a fabulous large Sunday roast and desserts thrown in, all served by Reece during the evening who was just charming, what more can we say?! Well we can; breakfast was fabulous with great friendly service. Great chefs must definitely know what they are doing. Great shower and huge superking bed!

My twin brother and I were exploring around this part of the city when we decided to drop by The Borough Pub,been here before on previous holidays to this fascinating city, always had a good time and so it proved on our latest visit to here. A great looking pub, interior is superb, multi roomed, dark wood features abound throughout this pub, a cool looking serving bar dominates the main room, pubby decor and furnishings and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub, its just a really good pub to unwind in. We had a study of their real ale's which I must say I was impressed with, in the end we both opted to have pale ale's from Hawkshead Brewery, these were served in excellent condition, we chilled out and planned out the day ahead while sipping our pale ale's. My pale ale was really good, a crisp, golden pale ale, hints of toffee, a delicious aroma and aftertaste with a smooth finish, a classic British pale ale served in a classic British pub. We both really enjoyed our pale ale's in here before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to The Borough Pub we had a great time. The Borough Pub is easy to locate on Dalton Square. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday, open from 11am. Well worth checking out if you're in the area or planning a trip to Lancaster.

The usual friendly staff and great value rooms. Great breakfast. Why would you stay anywhere else?
