The Borough is a quirky restaurant which seems to appeal to all different types of people. Service staff were extremely friendly, and were chatty to a very enjoyable level. The food was terrific value - good quality and definitely not expensive. They have some nice touches too - my chips were served in a paper menu, and the bill came... More

The food at the borough is delicious and the school dinners menu deal (meal and a drink for £5) is an absolute bargain. The food can be quite expensive if bought outside of a deal however and the portions on the school dinners menu are a little small. You get delicious food for a small price though so you can't...

Go to The Borough and order your drinks the moment you arrive. Then make yourself comfortable, peruse the menu closely and consider the day's "specials". Discuss with your companion what takes his fancy and tell him what you are considering ordering. Don't be afraid to change your minds. After carefully weighing up your options tell the waitress what you would... More

I dined here with 2 friends on Wednesday evening and we all had a great time. It was very busy, I loved the lively atmosphere. We had reserved a table and got shown to our booth and left with menus and our drinks order was taken. Lots of different deals to choose from. We chose the school dinners menu, a... More

Decided to try here for lunch. Bar & restaurant comfortably busy but not packed. Shown to table & left for about 20 mins for food & drinks order to be taken. Drinks arrived promptly and food shortly after. Food was brilliant, tasty and good portion size for the money. After asking for the bill and waiting for 10 mins with... More

We have been to the Borough a lot over the last 6 months or so, and generally have had good food and service. However, our last trip in particular was disappointing - rushed service and food not up to previous standard. Maybe because it was a Saturday night? We will now be looking at other places in Lancaster when we... More

We have been here 3 times for lunch recently and we have never been disappointed. It seems to get quite busy at lunch times but we have always found the staff lovely and efficient. They have catered to our individual needs for example asking for salad instead of chips or adding different dressings on to the salad. The food has... More

I have been to the Borough a few times and this afternoon had to be the worst visit I have experienced. Yes they were busy but this does not excuse the terrible service. We were seated or dumped at a table, we were left with disgusting sticky stained menus that looked like they had not been cleaned for a few... More

We were lucky to get a table on a busy Friday night but were delighted that we did. This is a very popular pub that does great locally sourced food. The lamb hot pot is delicious as is the minted lamb shank. Service is very friendly and even on a night when they were coping with big parties we didn't... More
