Far Pavilion, 25 Bypass Road, Bolton-Le-Sands, Carnforth LA5 8JA Tel: 01524 823316 Date of visit: 21st October 2023. I have reviewed this excellent establishment many times over the years, the last time being in January of this year. Consistently good, with friendly attentive staff, who have been with them for many years in most cases. A family run business now run by the original owner’s son, Sam. Situated on the A6 near Carnforth on the edge of the lake district well worth the effort to visit and look around. Just a few miles from Lake Windermere. Tonight, I choose from their extensive and varied menu Pop’s with the excellent pickle tray. As on this occasion I took a friend we decided on t...
First and last visit, was early meal and restaurant was fairly busy. Waited rather a while for our meals. When food arrived it looked good apart from naan which were worst I've seen and tasted we ordered 2 but didn't eat them they were that bad. My dish was so heavy with coconut oil it left my mouth with horrid fatty residue. The decor is rather shabby and needs a good deep clean. I must say staff are very pleasant. But they need to sort out their act to survive. I hope they improve.
This used to be the best Indian restaurant in the area. Unfortunately, now it's worse than average. Prices have risen- understandably. However, portion sizes have reduced too much and the food quality has gone down. I believe people are happy to pay more if portion sizes and food quality is good. We've had several meals hoping we were experiencing blips, but no, thus seems ti ge tge new norm. We will now be trying elsewhere.
We have attempted to order takeout from this restaurant three times and have been disappointed each time. The first time, we waited for over 2 hours so we decided to cancel the order. The second and third times, we had to wait at least an hour and a half even though the online estimate was only 30 minutes. The service was very poor and we will not be ordering from here again.

The visit was a disappointment. I ordered the Chicken Tika Jalfazei which was not up to their normal standard. The chicken was so tough that it was difficult to cut with a knife, basically very dry and tasteless. I only tried one piece and left the meal. I did inform them, but I just got the standard answer, we will tell the chef. I will not be back until I hear it improves
A few years ago, I had an amazing dining experience at the Far Pavillion. However, today I decided to order a takeaway online and have it delivered, and unfortunately, it was not as good. This was probably the worst Indian takeaway I have had in a long time. Perhaps ordering takeaway is not the Far Pavillion's strong suit.
Well the fruit flies were very welcoming, although they were very quick. The food was meidocre to poor .... not a great experience or culinary treat. Service was very undesirable .... Embarrassed inviting a good friend who was visiting from Glastonbury .... just hope our stomachs are okay tomorrow .... never again!!
The restaurant was cold, and the waiter was rude. The starters were tasty, but after 2 hours, our main courses still weren't ready. It seemed like they were more focused on takeout orders than serving the customers in the restaurant. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience.

What excellent service from start to finish. The staff went out of their way to help us when we were unable to get a taxi there. The food was also fantastic, highly recommend this place.
Awful food. Worst Indian takeaway meal ever in over60 years. Inedible and sour. Chicken leg served instead of breast meat .if they tried this in Glasgow they would be run out of town.
