Lily Mae's

[mickbell]

Hi i am one of the chefs at lily maes thats why i would like to hear any coments about the place so i can try to improve anything if i can (to do with food) and i will pass anyyhing to do with front of house on to the manager .And just like to say that Ian is not that bad just passionate about lily maes and really wants it to work i am sure that he didnt mean anything nasty and i am not just saying that because he pays my wages lol

[Margaret Pilkington]

Mick I am sure you are right about Ian...I think people should try the food and then pass judgement....if the food is good then folk will come back.
(and so far, there seem to be some very complimentary comments on the food)

[mickbell]

yes i agree with u margaret and what better time to try the food than this weekend why dont u all try it. booking would be a good idea if u do try it let me know on here

[onlyme]

I dont think anyone has had a negative comment to make about the food, so you should be commended Mick.

Unfortunately I would rather self inflict major traumas with a red hot poker than give Ian any part of my hard earned cash.

Sorry (if you move on tho, feel free to post on here where to

[mickbell]

thanx onlyme sorry to hear that u wont be coming back to lily maes but like i said Ian is not that bad and if i move on i will let u know but dont think it will be in the near future.

Quite right, Mick, just one question...are your sausage rolls sauteed?

[Wynonie Harris]

As i said earlier in the thread, we really enjoyed our meal the other week. I think we'll have to give the sunday lunch a try one weekend.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Personally, I think this is what this establishment should be judged on, rather than some comments that were posted by the owner on here, after all, there are people who work there and they have no control over what the owner says, or for that matter who he upsets....I don't think they should be penalised...especially if the food is good and of a competitive price.
Accrington actually needs something other than takeaways and Indian establishments.
(personal opinion)

You know I've read and reread this thread and I still can't find what the problem is with what Ian said - he only responded to a few people in the way that they spoke to him - it all sounded tongue in cheek to me. Can't quite see why some people took him seriously.

Anyway, whatever, the food's good.

I completley agree with you Margaret. At the end of the day it's the staff who make the place and create the atmosphere.We prefer to go out for a nice meal rather than a night out going from pub to pub. The night we went it was quite busy, from where we were sat we could see straight into the kitchen, and watch things being cooked. All the staff worked really hard. And it's nice to have somewhere nice to go that's within a reasonable taxi/walking distance from home.

It was the nasty comment and the karma taking that did it for me !
And I still think my review was impartial and unoffensive.
