Much like the language used in alot of my reviews the menu here is a Anglo-French fusion. True fine…read moredining options are actually not as common as you think. Majority of restaurants that claim to be fine dining are anythjing but. While I have never been a big fan of "fine dining" in the first place I have dined at enough decent fine dining restaurants to know the difference. I like the fact that they are spreading their wings and pushing the boundries a little bit by having a gourmet night with different cuisines once a month every month. French gourmet evening in August, Thai is spetember, British in October and Indian in November. Good stuff Trufflets. I purposefully skipped past majority of the options on the menu and went for the home-made char-grilled beef burger, cheddar, salad and gherkin in ciabatta, with string fries and coleslaw. To test the menu in my opinion you have to try out something from the menu that you know best and have tried in copious amounts in other restaurants. This way you start to build a portfolio of dishes in your mind. I am here to report then that their Beef burger was not bad indeed. The gherkins was a surprisingly nice touch.

We decided to try this place for lunch yesterday. We had been in for a beer over the last month but…read morenever tried the food. The Woodman although not reviewed on yelp has many reviews on other sites. Nearly all the reviews are bad and that's why we didn't eat here till yesterday. However we heard there was a new team in charge and decided to include them in our fact finding for the area after moving to Clayton Le Woods end of 2014. On arrival at the bar we were greeted by a nice young fella who offered to let me try both the real ale's they had on. I decided on a pint of Wainwright's which was very nice indeed. We said we would like to order some lunch so we were asked to choose a table and somebody would come to take the order. I like that I don't like all this order at the bar with a table number. So we had baguettes and chips, me tuna melt and Sharon chicken and bacon. Both served with a bowl of homemade chunky chips. We both enjoyed the food very much. Nice presentation, good quality and homemade. One check in by staff as we ate which is the right thing. We couldn't fault it. Nice beer, good grub, nice table by the real fire and 19 quid for lunch including a pint and a Bacardi and coke. I hope that the new team at the woodman keep it up all power to them.

We had a good choice from the menu, and opted for a fish dish, whilst my partner went as always for the steak. Both came beautifully prepared, in fact you can see it being prepared.

Good value, but book early as it gets busy if you want to go on the off chance.

The food and drink prices are reasonable and compare to any other restaurant but they do have a Happy Hour from 5.30-6.30 and you can get any full sized meal for a fiver.I would recommend booking at weekends as it can get very busy but during the week if you can't eat straight away there isn't usually long to wait.

Both times I have had steak and it's been excellent. The house red is rijoca and it's my favourite red wine and it's only £15 a bottle. My partner has a taste card so it's two for one on starters, mains and dessert so great value for money. They even give you an ice cold lemonchello after your meal which is a nice touch. I highly recommend this place great service and staff are really friendly.

There are a few Italian restaurants in Leyland but my parents recommended here for us to try out and we were not disappointed. The starters of King prawns and a portion of pâté were both very tasty.. Especially the prawns which were excellently cooked. For mains we both had fillet steak - mine with a chilli and pepper sauce which was cooked to perfection. The lemonchilo served between courses was a nice little touch which cleansed the pallete for desert. I tried the tiramasu which ticked all the boxes for me. Definitely try here if you want honest food at reasonable prices... Especially if you have a taste card... £42 for 3 courses each and a bottle of wine!!

TL;DR - Great Mediterranean restaurant, with plenty of pasta and pizza dishes to keep everyone…read morehappy. Came here for lunch with my parents. Apparently many years ago this was an Italian restaurant, and has then changed hands several times since. It's now under new ownership and is technically a "Mediterranean" restaurant, but the menu leans very heavily towards Italian with lots of pizza and pasta options. The lunch menu is basically the same as the evening menu, but with reduced prices for the pizza and pasta dishes. I went for the "Red Cat pizza" - chicken, pesto and mushrooms. Very nice, but the base was a bit tough for my liking (although I may have been spoilt by a recent trip to Naples!). My mum had the linguine bolognese which she absolutely loved, and my dad had chicken and mushroom pasta. My dad isn't normally a fan of foreign cuisine, but he absolutely loved this and raved about how good it was. We also shared a bottle of wine which was very nice indeed. Staff were very friendly and attentive, prices were very reasonable (3 main courses, plus garlic bread, a bottle wine and three coffees for under £50) and the food was very good.

Staying in the local Premier Inn made a visit to The Malthouse Farm a 'must do'. Booking online was…read moreeasy and straightforward with choices of bar for drinks, bar for drinks and nibbles or restaurant for meals and drinks. This wasn't fully understood by myself until we went into the pub for a drink after the long drive from 'down south'. There were areas with reserved signs on the tables near the bar. For the first two choices. Then, of course, the restaurant to the rear. Great friendly service by very professional staff. So we looked forward to the evening after a quick nap. On arrival in the evening we were shown to the restaurant. Drinks offered and a menu. OK the menu was 'limited' due to it being the Christmas season, I assume. But there was plenty on the menu to choose from. Our steak, on both evenings, were perfect. Nice choices of various wines, even my partners favourite, of a British Bacchus. A wonderful two evenings just eating and lounging in a wonderful English pub. OK, one minor niggle. I drink vodka on ice (the rocks) and the glasses for these shorts are not clear glass but bobbly glass (only one way to describe them). Even had a brandy with coffee in the same type of glass. It's a shame and, maybe, should be thought about. PLEASE Great pub, great staff, good food and a lovely atmosphere. Thanks guys and gals
