Spread Eagle At Mellor – BlackburnBeen visiting Grey Mare for many years, sadly the food has steadily gone down hill. Much smaller potions, long waits for food, on occation the food had to be sent back inedable scampy cold. Too much salt in some meals waiting an hour for our meals. The owners are very polite and apologetic but its just not as good as it used to.
Grey Mare Inn – BlackburnYour food is awful very cold.
Waheeds Buffet & Banquet Hall – BlackburnThis is THE best chinese restaurant I have ever been to. Not the cheapest but the suthentic ingredients make all the difference!! Trip advisor mainly agrees! Not sure what we will do if mr and mrs cheung decide to retire, been eating there for over 20 years!
Great Village – BlackburnWent in June for a birthday . Food was absolutely devine but with small fine dining portions, not for everyone as I could have ate everything again. Didn't like the fact were we made to feel a little out of place that we didn't want to drink wine at 1-30 in the afternoon. Maybe in the evening but just fancied a Peroni . Would go back but maybe in the evening.
Northcote – BlackburnHaving visited the Windmill Preston New Road Mellor Brook Bnear Blackburn for my Son's Birthday today 5th June 2014. I have never visited a worse place to eat. The Place was Empty so not rushed off their feet. I ordered Scampi the rest of family had other things, but it took ages to get our order.I complained about Scampi it was not Scampi but reconstituted & shaped & was not fit to eat. The Chef came out of kitchen with bag of frozen reconstituted something & shouted what does it say on bag to which I replied it say's scampy bites! He said I don't f/ing care whether you pay or not . I said to Lady behind the Bar, I'm not paying for that meal. She said I'll ring my boss & he told her to take that meal off the bill. Considering the bill was still £44-25 for4 soft drinks 4 starters & 3 other main meals that were not good either I know we will not be going there again or recommend The Windmill to anyone.
Windmill Hotel – BlackburnBALTI HOUSE RISHTON IS THE BEST.
Balti House – BlackburnFirst visit won't be the last. Refurbishment superb as was food and staff excellent.
Spread Eagle At Mellor – BlackburnNice meal for four with some impressive dishes. Particularly enjoyed my prawn cocktail starter with its sides of tempura prawn and prawn and sesame toasts. Rib eye steak was definitely medium as requested. Good wine, pleasant atmosphere, nice staff.
Butlers Arms – BlackburnAfter visiting for a recent special occasion we learned the establishment has recently changed hands, and unfortunately they've ruined it. After waiting for over an hour for drinks and food to arrive we discovered they'd lost the order, then proceeded to bring out incorrect orders, cold meals and apparent left-overs put together to form something else. The service wasn't much better than the food they offered with untrained, incompetent staff which was managed by a rude 'supposed' head chef that is nothing more than an embarrassment to his job title. Avoid at all costs.
Windmill Hotel – BlackburnExcellent!!
The Old Mill Hill Chippy – BlackburnThe Willows is a lovely place to look at and the inside is cosy however waited far too long for a meal which when arrived it was luke warm. The only postive review of the food was the dessert which I took home.
The Willows – BlackburnI VISITED THIS PUB IN JANUARY 2014. I was served with raw undercooked food. The table was dirty . I complained and nothing was done . In fact the staff were very rude and arrogant. I suffered with food poisoning and I will be reporting the pub to the food and safety dept at the council. It as more upsetting that the staff had an arrogant couldn't care less attitude..
Clog and Billycock – BlackburnSuperb place! Met up for New Year get-together meal with my brother and his family - 8 of us altogether. We each had something different off the extensive menu, and every one of us thoroughly enjoyed our choice. Service is friendly, attentive, but unobtrusive. Highly recommended!
Millstone At Mellor – BlackburnIt was excellent food and thanks to the cooks who made it.
Maida – BlackburnSolid business which is about doing basic food well. High quality, friendly service, excellent cleanliness, good value and they really care about doing a good job. What more do you want from a chippy?
Ocean Chippy – Blackburn£14-50 for two fishcakes! I don't think so! No taste and apparently a seabass fillet inside-which decent chef would annihilate a lovely piece of fish in this way?
Myerscough Hotel – BlackburnMy partner and I have eaten here many times. The staff are always friendly and the place feels very relaxed. On the menu is a great range of choices to eat, not forgetting the specials menu. Tonight we are going to the Tapas night, which is very popular.
O’Marley – BlackburnSunday roast £15.50 with a choice of beef or chicken (children, £9.95).
Choose from a selection of mains plus a tea/coffee or soft drink, £11.50. Available Monday to Friday 12pm-2pm.
