Went to lunch today and once more blown away by the quality of the food. This restaurant has a warm inviting atmosphere and has a menu that caters to all tastes and pockets! My friend and I wanted a leisurely lunch with fabulous food and that is exactly what we got, but for those in a rush there is a wonderful light lunch menu that exactly hits the spot.
Great to see Encore up and running. We had a great lunch there a few days ago. The menu offers a lot of fabulous choices and when the food arrived, it didn’t disappoint. Particularly enjoyed the squid. We are looking forward to returning soon. Good luck to Gareth and all the team.
Fabulous restaurant! Lovely, friendly professional staff. Food was absolutely out of this world (I never usually finish any meal when we go out) last night though, I finished every mouthful! Absolutely delicious! Definitely my favourite restaurant (by a country mile)! Would give more stars if I could!
Absolutely fabulous restaurant with lovely attentive hosts. Food and drink were great, 15 types of gins, priced reasonably and with a lovely friendly ambience, we will definitely be regulars.

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.
What a fantastic find, some of the best food I’ve had. I can’t recommend Encore enough. We will be back very soon.
Nipped in tonight, for cocktails, lovely atmosphere. Really attentive owner! Would highly recommend this lovely hidden gem! Back again soon for sure!
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.
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 👍🏻
Serendipitously stumbled upon this spot and came in for a few drinks. The manager was really friendly and gregarious, which was refreshing. Will have to come back for food next time
This place is a real hidden gem. Excellent service by a young team. The food is always excellent, the Korean chicken starter is my favourite (I wish it could be a main!). I'll be honest, I do miss the old days, of the side plate menu times.... The chicken bao buns were quite literally the best thing I've ever eaten, anywhere.
The smoked jus is not to be missed either, so rich and indulgent, you kind of feel guilty for eating it!
A fabulous place. Don't hesitate to visit.

We came to Encore based off very good reviews.
It was a busy Sunday night and we were shown to a table by a friendly waitress. We were delighted to have the option of a vegan set menu, I’ve never dined anywhere other than vegan-only restaurants that offer this, so this was a big plus for us! I think this is just for Veganuary.
The starters came out quick and we both went for the vegan ‘scallops’ which were tasty and paired well with the charred citrus that was on the plate. Although the puffed rice was overly hard and in my opinion an unnecessary addition.
For main, I went for the banana blossom fish and chips and my partner for the vegan seitan steak with peppercorn sauce. Both were tasty, although the steak looked a bit lost on the huge plate. We did have to chase up the peppercorn sauce as it didn’t arrive as expected. However when it did, it was about 90% whole peppercorn. It wasn’t necessarily bad but very intense and almost a chore to eat at times, but the dish would have been on the dry side otherwise. The ‘fish’ and chips however was excellent and I couldn’t find fault.
The wine was very tasty and the hard-to-wreck Estrella was faultless. If I was to be super picky, the cutlery was on the wrong side and the toilets could benefit from a renovation. However this didn’t impact an otherwise respectable evening and I would definitely visit again! A special mention to the waitress and waiter who served us (young girl and guy with dark hair and glasses) who were exceptional. The other two we didn’t have much dealing with. Also, we were never asked about allergies which one of us had however we worked around it by opting for vegan.
It's such an amazing place to have dinner. Was pleasure to meet owner Gareth and seeing how was passion for his business has manifested itself into amazing food at lovely place to have. If you are around, definitely stop here and enjoy the service and food received.

Perfect date night
Just been and had one of the best meals of my life..... morrocon carrot soup with the cutest mini bread loaf to start, followed by a beautifully cooked roast beef dinner with all the trimmings including sweet potato roasties (absolute genius) and dessert to bring home coz we was stuffed. Found my new favourite cocktail which is Gaz's take on an espresso martini with homemade liquers which is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much Gareth and the team, you have created a beautiful atmosphere you were all amazing and we will definitely be back soon.
Excuse my face in the pics I really don't care I was one happy girly
Love the fact that this restaurant has a plant based menu with plenty of vegan options. Really great food and friendly service. Also reasonably priced! Second visit and even more impressed with the food.
Wow! Me and my friend came for lunch today (Friday) and had the most incredible tasty 3 course meal. Great value and top quality food. The decor and interior design of the place is so beautiful, most of it hand crafted and the guy is so passionate about his business which is refreshing to see. Highly recommend and will be back very soon. If you need some nice pics for the Gram this is a gorgeous place. Go ! The best thing to do is experience it for yourself. Thank you so much for a lovely day
Fab restaurant in Chorley, with on site cocktail bar. Great menu selection, with vegan options too. Been many times can highly recommend it.
I hadn’t been for years and visited for the pre theatre menu. Was blown away! Just beautiful food perfectly cooked and a fabulous price. Highly recommended
Delicious Sunday roast! 😋 Gòod service. Only disappointment was limited choice of puddings and cheesecake eton mess was nothing like it sounded! A good crumble needs to be on there !
1st time trying this restaurant, absolutely amazing. Sunday roast was perfect. Staff friendly and quick service. Can't wait to return next time.
We popped in for cocktails before a show & they were so incredible we dragged our friends back afterwards! Great selection for the designated drivers too!
Different in a good way. Quality food prepared to a high standard.
Went again and still not disappointed, food is wonderful and is certainly a step above most
