Nellie the Elephant Restaurant, Much Hoole

First visit since it was refurbished and it was brilliant. Max the manager was professional as always and the staff were courteous and knowledgeable. The food was awesome as expected and all for a reasonable price

We’ve now been about 15 times since Nellie’s have opened in Much Hoole…so far every meal was excellent! The menu is great- lots of different choices…simply beautiful! Also the staff is first class…very friendly and observant….the restaurant is very clean and provides a very warm but still fairly modern atmosphere…5 out of 5 on everything for good reasons!

Just been for a meal at this lovely restaurant with a party of 6. Been here a few times. Was really busy tonight and the staff coped brilliantly even though they were staff down. There was a delay with some of our servings but they made us fully aware and apologised on numerous occasions, which we didn't feel was necessary. Staff are always lovely and can't do enough for you. The food was amazing, really tasty, great portions. Fantastic night to celebrate Mothers Day for our two fav gals. Top Night! Kid-friendliness: Staff so friendly

Visited Sat 18th March. Very busy in the conservatory with lots of children and very noisy. The waiter was very pleasant but he didn't give us much time to sit down and wanted us to order straight away. Everyone's food was very good but I ordered a chicken kurai. It was just OK. Not enough sauce with it and quite dry. This was the first time I came out of an indian restaurant still hungry !!!

Its a nice place to be. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the big bar on entry makes it feels like an adult establishment. It's not really got child friendly vibes. As a date night, sure. As a family event place with all ages, not so much. Whilst i enjoyed my food, i also enjoy my friend's and familys food. This was because they were not impressed by food, especially for the price. I wasn't going to let go to waste. It felt like some of the flavours had been rolled back and tamed for the local audience, which i think was a shame. Over all, youre paying to be comfortable with good food. Not for excellent food.

Great food and service in a smart restaurant

Sorry but £70 for what we ordered was too expensive won't be revisiting or recommending. £50 would have been a fair price to pay. I felt pressured into ordering food from the time we arrived at the table and the constant moving of tables annoyed me as well during our meal. The mains were expensive (at £13 to £14 each) for the amount and the quality but charging £7.00 extra for 2 pilau rice is just fleecing the customer in my opinion. Drinks no problem with the tonic water price but £4.50 for a blackcurrant and soda. To be honest better value/ quality at my local indian takeaway and better food and bigger portion sizes. I appreciate you pay for the surroundings but the toilets were leaking and not the best either. Overall not a great experience Parking: The entry is OK but the exit part of the car park needs to be tarmaced and better lighting installed
