I've been occasionally popping into the West Coast Rock Café on trips to Blackpool for years, to…read morethe degree that I could've sworn I'd already reviewed it, but on checking my previous reviews, I apparently haven't, which is something I will remedy right now! Everybody who knows Blackpool knows of West Coast Rock, and anyone who is a visitor and who doesn't, should make the effort to find out, because it's well worth hunting out its blink-and-you'll-miss-it tiny front entrance, which comprises of nothing but a door with a staircase leading upwards, and some bright yellow signage. It's near the tower. It bills itself as a family restaurant and music venue, but it is what in the USA would be known as a Dive Bar. That's not an insult in any way, it's their term for a place that is rough around the edges, casual, with a focus on good casual food and drinks, and usually live music. West Coast Rock Cafe is big on all of these, and their style inside is dark red walls and ceilings, painted wall art and illustrations, even illustrations on the tables, and old furniture. It works. It works really well for what they're doing. The service is casual and friendly, staff treat everyone like regulars and smiles are always in view. The menu is burgers, steaks, sandwiches, classic American favourites, and some Mexican options. All the burgers are named with tongue in cheek and a sense of humour, ie a plain hamburger is called "The Boring Burger", and the rest of the menu shares the same fun and casual style, as well as the same style illustrations from around the restaurant too. This time round we ordered a Double Decker Club Sandwich from the West Coast Favourites section, and a Hill Street Blues Burger. Waiting for your food here is perfectly pleasant too, because as well as the excellent music videos playing and music generally, the restaurant is on the first floor with wrap-around windows, making it great for people-watching over the pedestrianised streets. The food arrived pleasantly presented. The burger was juicy, with oozy blue cheese topping caramelised onions and mushrooms, which really kicked the flavour up a few notches. The club sandwich was surprisingly filling, and with the addition of cucumber in the mix, it really gave the sandwich a bit of bite and pop. The fries on both meals were lovely and crisp and hot. One thing we noticed was that the burger came with a sauce, and we couldn't quite place what it was, was it a chilli mayo or a paprika mayo? We asked the server who told us that it was the chef's so-called 'dirty sauce', made with ingredients such as mayo, Cajun spices, and lime juice. Thing is, it's a really nice sauce, and not even mentioned on the menu, when it deserves to be, because it was something created not bought. The food was excellent as always, and once again even though we didn't get a starter, we had no room for dessert. I swear one day I'll be able to manage a dessert at West Coast Rock Cafe... in fact some day I might go JUST for dessert... maybe to try The Fudgezilla, but I don't know if I could bring myself to go to Blackpool and to West Coast, and NOT have their delicious food! Give it a try, it's fun, it's casual, and it's good quality. It won't break the bank either.

Recently opened little sandwich shop in Poulton-le-fylde. There are many sandwich shops, cafes and…read morebakeries in the small town of Poulton so business here is very competitive and this particular address has been through several hands in recent years and sadly none have lasted very long. So with this in mind I thought I'd give them a whirl. It has a fairly standard menu including sandwiches (barm or baton), salad boxes, breakfast baps, baked potatoes, soup, crisps, cakes and hot and cold drinks. Your sandwich is made fresh to order and all the ingredients are on display and all look very appealing. I had a chicken salad baton which was very pleasant but I did feel they were a bit ungenerous with the salad. Update I've been back several times since my initial review and must upgrade my review to 5 stars. The salad boxes in particular are lovely, a really good choice of items from the usual salad staples to pasta, couscous, rice, mixed beans, potato salad, coleslaw etc. etc. In fact if you ask for a bit of everything they are struggling to fit it all in the box! Lovely little shop, recommended.

I have to say the puddings ar the best part for me too, my husband likes the bill as it never costs an arm and a leg. If you go mon-sat before 5.30 everythng on the menu is 1/3 off, which is a big help to affording to eat out more often. Be warned only go if you love chicken and steak as nearly everything on the menu is based around this. The only down side is you cannot book tables and they cannot accomodate large groups sitting together.

There is a salad bar which you can help yourself to after ordering a meal. The staff are very friendly. The food is served very quickly and I have never had to make a complaint. Sometimes at busy times, there may be a wait for a table but the wait isn't too long and the bar area is nice to sit in whilst you wait. On Sundays, there is an offer on which you can order any type of chicken for only £6, this includes chips, corn on the cob and sauces and unlimited salad from the salad cart. The restaurant also offers a third off meal prices if ordered before 6pm on a weekday and 5pm on a Saturday.

Lots of windows make it very bright and it seems like a fantastic place for summer drinks and the location by the promenade is great. I came here for lunch and found the food to be pretty good. There were lots of options on the menu from burgers, pasta, stews and steak to healthier and lighter choices like salads with avocado and salmon, fish cakes, hummus board, sandwiches and a selection of tapas. The salmon was very nice, and I quite like the hummus board which is big and great for sharing between a few people as a starter. The service was excellent. The staff were all very polite and attentive, checking on up us to see if things were alright. The food was served efficiently and my parents from Ireland who were with me commented on how friendly everyone was. The only downside is the although the drinks and gin menu is very extensive, they are quite expensive. Overall, I would really recommend this place for special occasions, work parties etc. where you need to impress. Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Variety: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Price: £££

Usual range of breakfast baps and also lunchtime favourites such as chicken, beef and ham, with or without salad, on a choice of barm cake or baton. Also paninis, jacket potatoes, salad boxes, soup of the day and a couple of specials which were cheeseburger and also chilli and rice. Cans of pop and a chocolate bar or two rounds off the menu. The batons are really quite big and generously filled and could easily be shared between two really, very tasty too. Although the shop itself doesn't look all that promising from the outside I'd recommend giving it a try. Update: upgraded my review from 4 stars to 5 stars after several visits. Friendly staff, excellent sandwiches. Highly recommended!

I'll probably pop back in again sometime in the future but I won't go out of my way to go there in preference to other sandwich shops.
