Good restaurants in Chorley are hard to find and, despite the awful titular pun, the Thyme & Plaice offers consistently good food from a menu that changes every two months. Family owned and run, the restaurant strikes the balance between friendly and professional and the decor is equally well balanced.

The (almost) private dining experience must hold a rare treat status for most people and in the sleepy town of Coppull, Chorley, it's even more of a treat to find such a place. The Coppull Moor has one sitting (usually at 8:30 in the evening) and a fixed price (around £35 last time I went). For that the pleasure of getting a room which you share with very few other people is wonderful. The food is generally of a good quality though sometimes the strain of serving everybody at once shows through. The menu is imaginative (desserts wear thin on repeat visits however) and the biggest gripe is that this place is so undersold. It's one of those places where a little more work on its offering and promotion would deliver in meaty handfuls.
