Encore Restaurant

Nipped in tonight, for cocktails, lovely atmosphere. Really attentive owner! Would highly recommend this lovely hidden gem! Back again soon for sure!

Gareth and the team at Encore were incredibly welcoming to host a surprise birthday party with 20 diners last weekend at relatively last minute. We had our own space upstairs that I had been given free rein to decorate earlier in the day, and the service and food were impeccable, nothing was too much despite us staying way past the table booking time! Gareth made us some incredible cocktails too. Highly recommended for any dinner parties or events with their upstairs space and bar. Thank you team Encore 👍🏻

We had a lovely meal today. Carrot and coriander soup with bread roll, seabass on casar salad. All delicious. Wished I hadn't been on a diet and could have tucked into what looked like amazing roast dinners with Yorkshire pudding! Excellent service.

What a fantastic find, some of the best food I’ve had. I can’t recommend Encore enough. We will be back very soon.

Went for a meal before a visit to Chorley Theatre next door. It wasn't overly busy when we arrived, it was early but it seemed to take a while before we got any attention with someone asking us for drinks etc. We ordered our food and the the starters came out quite quickly. But the wait for the main course after that was about half an hour, which was just long enough for me to start getting a little annoyed - Especially as we'd booked long enough in advance for the show at the theatre. My starter, the Spiced Lamb Kofta, was tasty enough but a little on the small side. Can't really complain, it was a starter, but maybe a couple of mouthfuls and it was over with. I had the Smash Burger for main, and it was just that. A Smash Burger, which for the price was a disappointment. I make Smash Burgers a lot and it wasn't anything I couldn't have done myself for a fraction of the cost. They're cheap, easy, but tasty. That's kind of the point of them. Given the price I expected some kind of wow factor, which I didn't get. Call me naive, I mean, I got what I asked for, but... 🤷‍♂️ The atmosphere or the place was nice and pleasant, the staff, if a little unattentive, where friendly and polite. We gave ourselves a good hour before our show to eat and we just made the start time. We basically had to eat and run which I felt a bit bad about but we'd have missed the start of the show if we didn't.
