Whatever the occasion, a light bite, a romantic dinner or sumptuous afternoon tea, the Red Hall Hotel's Restaurant in Manchester Road ensures friendly and efficient service in a laid-back comfortable environment. Up to 70 people can be seated here for lunch or dinner from an international menu.

Head chef Stephen McLoughlin has recently introduced complete new menus but made sure he left on favourites such as Bury black pudding and fish pie. Using produce from local suppliers to ensure high quality, fresh food, the eclectic menu also offers Adlington smoked duck with ruby pear, pan fried chicken livers on thyme brioche and black pudding with bacon and a fried egg, for a start. Mains and grill options include lamb chump with spring onion champ, Pendle Hill pork loin with cinnamon, spinach and golden raisins, salmon, haddock, scallops and smoked haddock fish pie and grilled fillet steak with hand cut chips. The sweet goodness of apple and blueberry crumble, glazed lemon tart or Morello cherry crème brûlée makes for a perfect ending to the meal. A table d'hote and Sunday roast menus are also available.

Frankie and Benny's combine classic American and Italian in both style and cuisine. They specialise in home style cooking 'just like Mamma used to make it'. This is a great place to take the entire family and represents excellent value for money. The restaurant and bar is suitable for any occasion, whether it's a leisurely lunch, a family meal or a fantastic evening with friends - they make sure you have a wonderful time.

Walking into the restaurant is like stepping back into 1950s New York, from the clatter and chatter of the open kitchen to the bottle lined bar. Walls with black and white family photographs showing life in Brooklyn's 'Little Italy' surround cosy booth seating and tables. Combined with the classic music of the fifties, a mix of American swing and beat, they definitely provide a fun and friendly atmosphere for all to enjoy.

Frankie and Benny's offers starters, main courses and delicious desserts, and favourites include char-grilled burgers, pizzas, pastas, steaks and house specialities such as chicken parmigiana, BBQ ribs, lamb shank and much more. The bar serves a wide range of beers, wines, spirits, cocktails and soft drinks.

Start with sticky wings, crispy coated chicken strips, tiger prawn skewer or Frankie's fried calamari and if you are dining in a group choose the giant sampler platter. The pastas, calzone and pizzas are all made freshly on order. An interesting dish on the menu is a the Boston 7 speciality pizza fully loaded with slices of pork meatballs, spicy pepperoni, ham, crispy bacon, chicken, peppers and red onion, served on a BBQ sauce base. They also serve a variety of sandwiches and burgers throughout the day.

A good value lunch menu is available on weekdays from 11am until 5pm offering a range of popular dishes from the main carte with one course at £5.95, two courses at £7.95 and three courses at £8.95.

For children up to the age of eleven, an all-inclusive menu features a selection of main courses, desserts and drinks starting at £3.95. As an added treat, they'll also receive an activity pack to entertain them whilst you eat.
