"Cinnamon Spice. 16 A Emesgate Lane, Silverdale, Carnforth. LA5 0RA Tel: 01524 702117 Date of visit 22 July 2023. Right, I spent the best part of an hour searching round Fleetwood where I had travelled to pick up some fishing bait for a forthcoming fishing trip. Where I searched for a listed Indian restaurant only to discover it did not exist and neither did any others in Fleetwood. Another town with end-of-life syndrome. Boarded up shops Charity shops by the score, Turkish barbers on almost every corner, Nail bars and hairdresser with the odd chippy thrown in! Strangely though, NOTHING open on Saturday evening! Absolutely no interest getting the place sorted out whatsoever! Saturday evening and the place was dead. Even the Kentucky Fried has permanently closed its doors! SAD...So very sad! Anyway, all was not lost because my way back home, I managed to squeeze in a long-awaited visit to the Cinnamon Spice in Silverdale, Near Carnforth. You asked me to visit it and I have done just that. Situated in the very picturesque village of Silverdale on the outskirts of Carnforth and Arnside in Cumbria, Blink and you will miss it, A small smart clean and comfortable restaurant with 28 seats on the ground floor with a further ten on the first floor. Poppadom’s with a pickle tray, and one of the better pickle trays I might add, sizable portions of chutney, Onions, mango Chutney and Lime pickle. Followed by Seekh kebab which were perfectly spiced and piping hot when they arrived. Next was my usual benchmark stuff, Chicken Madras, again this was one of the better ones that I have had recently. Mopped up with a tandoori Roti. Again, piping hot and so very tasty. If I’m going to be picky there was no serviette on the table nor was there any salt and pepper! But to be fair they were very busy every table was occupied, and they were doing a roaring take-out trade. There is no alcohol but have no objection to you popping next door to the Co-Op, and they will open it for you with no corkage fee. As with many restaurants and take-aways these days, its cash only, but again there is a cash machine in the Co-op next door. Oh, and the toilets are outside! The staff were pleasant enough, but I did not like the” I’ll go and ask” when I asked for a table for one! But the service was slick and attentive. I Don’t Know why I have not searched this place out before as it is one of the better Indians in the area. I will definitely be paying it further visits. The price was a very modest £21.00. Parking was quite easy and close. It’s a good 8/10 from me."

"the greeting we received was easy to puzzling as we were not sure whether the merciful friendly, rude or bipolar was. a regular village beacon that offers the usual bar menu with very little imagination, so punters get what they deserve, I suppose. there was...”Minty lancashire Hotpot” on the special board, that is one of my favorite dishes all the time, and considering that very few restaurants in lancaster had it actually on the menu, it was for me. what an unauthorized catastrophe. hotpot should be an unpretentious lamb stew, full of carrots and swirls with a lid of cut kartoffels often cooked for an hour or so. Of course, this process must be carried out in a restaurant situation in advance so that it can be served as quickly as possible to the customer. what happened? a catastrophe that is it. As they could even serve the scandal that has arrived before me without showing any embarrassment, it shows that they do not care what the coke looked at them. to the left over boiled lamb, fed into a smoker and covered with sourté potatoes is not a hotpot. it was one of the worst dishes of the “food” I would ever meet and not even consider feeding it to my dog; and if I did, she would not eat it, and she eats everything. they accused themselves of this monstrosity of a teller, and no word was said when they removed it from the table after I had left it after eating two pieces of mouth. they probably knew what I would have said if they even wanted to ask themselves. I am not shy, pubs and restaurants to tell what is good or bad about eating that they serve me, but for once I was stupidly hit that something that should be too right in that was actually served one of their customers. When we waited for the food to arrive, I heard one of the customers who had arrived after telling us that the last part of the hotpot had been sold and it was from the menu. I was slightly fucked that I was this guy, but I wish I was the guy who just missed."

"We visited the cafe as part of our visit to the reserve which we usually enjoy. The cafe isn't fully open yet, only take away so tables are provided outside. It was a nice sunny day so that wasn't particularly a problem. However in my...view the one way system is Ill considered giving people the long walk around the building once they are loaded up with their hot drinks and snacks. It would seem more sensible to have the entry to the cafe through the shop or by the toilets and then have the shorter walk from side door out to the outdoors tables. I had a ham salad sandwich which was ok, however I noticed that the bread was a bit dry, I suspect not baked freshly that day. I suspect maybe they had over bought for the bank holiday if visitor numbers didn't live up to the predicted numbers. Disposable cups for the tea and coffee, which is not ideal going forward and I hope that normal service will be resumed very soon. My husband had the scone and jam and found that the scone was ok but again, not freshly baked. There was no knife or other implement to spread the cream and jam so he had to improvise with my tea stirring stick which doesn't quite feel the same special experience! We didn't feel we could go back as it would have meant taking on the long winded one way system. I don't understand why the cafe isn't fully open as we are allowed indoor hospitality now and there are lots of Windows to open up there. However, we were at least able to get some refreshment for which we were very grateful."
