Reviews in Blackburn

visited the Welcome Restaurant Food okay felt pressurised all through the meal being watched by three waitresses.Only part of bill written in English is the amount,order written in Chinese ,would be helpful if both languages were used.Unable to check bill properly! Won't visit again or recommend the place.

haven't been for a few months as the atmosphere since the owner left has been awful, the food was dire and its a shame the thriving little business was slowly being driven into the ground its heart left with ian and it turned into a business instead of a home from home that it was, bring it back up to what it was and we may just come back.

I've been to lots of restaurants in this area and this is really the best Indian! We read the reviews on this site beforehand and were intrigued to hear about what Ccc@c had to say about the Jalfrazi. My hubby is a bit of a connisieur when it comes to Indian food (he's Indian and used to be a chef back in India!) and said he wanted to try it, because with one style of cooking, a truly authentic jalfrazi is actually quite green . And thus, Hubby had the jalfrazi and I had the Murgi Begum Bahar. My dish was fantastic and was really good for me because I can only have mild curries and it was perfect! As for the jalfrazi it appears they've changed it as it was just normal curry colour ( a dark brown) , but my husband absolutely LOVED it! The staff are so friendly and nice, and they bend backwards making sure everything is okay. A really really fantastic night out.

I visited the bulls head in Wilpshire for a family meal over the weekend. The bland average pub food was not nearly as disappointing as the service. We were served our main course BEFORE our starters had even arrived! Then re-served them cold after we had eaten the starters. Staff were rude and unhelpful, very disappointing indeed.

hi we go to the windmill nearly every week i wouldn't go any where else great value for money would recommend to anyone

The first time i ate at the rishton Balti House. The quality of the food was outstanding, the service they gave me was first class. the restaurant is unique unlike others and i recommend you to come and try their food. KEEP IT UP!:)

What a fantastic restaurant - excellent service and the food is very fresh and tasty. I would recommend trying the garlic nan bread and for people who like it hot try the Naga. (at last a 'hot' curry that also has flavours) Would recommend trying this restaurant.

4 of us went here on a Friday night to celebrate a birthday. We knew it was going to be a bit more expensive than your usual Chinese but it was worth every penny. The food was delicious and much lighter than your normal Chinese , there wasn't a thick batter on everything. The wine list is very good and the waiters were exceptional with topping our glasses, none of us ever had an empty glass (that might account for our sore heads the day after!) My friend has a serious allergy and the Manager came over to go through the menu with her. I have read some reviews on other sites from people who found this place pretentious but I didn't get that vibe at all, all the staff were friendly, and all customers were having a good time and there was a lively atmosphere.Overall we had a brilliant night , and will definitely be back

Booked for 11 people for a colleagues birthday luckily we rang before we set off as we needed to amend the table to 12 instead of 11. They had booked us in the for the 7th November instead of the 14th November. Luckily we had rang beforehand. So my recommendations is get them to confirm the date as they clearly haven't got a clue about bookings ? Very angry as we were all looking forward to eating here as we dine at the three fishes quite regular. New staff need more training maybe????????????????

We have eaten here a few times & as we live locally we have ordered food to takeaway and I have to say each time I have been disappointed. Not cheap to eat here & I would say no differnt to any other restaurant, nothing special, not a lot of meat & alot of sauce, food catered for the english market - should be more authentic. We went to celebrate an 18th - they actually forgot to 'sing happy birthday' everyone else seemed to have their turn but not us, i telephoned the next day & i was told to come back & they would make a fuss - Sorry but you only have 1 18th & 1 chance to make it special - let down.

Staff very hard working, disagree with 1 comment of a high staff turnover, we have been eating here for years & mostly the same staff have stayed there, other than that staff stay a few years then go to university - the same for any restaurant. Food is excellent, reasonably priced, nicely decorated, would recommend anyone trying.

We had an excellent meal at The Clog yesterday. A superior Ploughmans Platter to share for a starter. Followed by an exceptionally tasty Mutton Pudding with Black Peas and capers and A toad in the hole. The Chianti was good and reasonable at only £20. Great value considering the quality of food, service and ambience.

I ate here on Sunday with my friends, the service was good and the portions sizes are massive….well price and make sure you are very hungry before you go because you will be full to bursting when you leave!!!

Visited the Clog for the third time, since the refurb. I Have not been disappointed yet. All members of my party enjoyed the food and service was good as always. It does get very busy from about 6pm on a Saturday so you need to go early as they don't take bookings. It is much more relaxed on weekday evenings. recommend the steak with green peppercorn sauce.

3 of us went to The Clog last night and it was superb. It is really hard these days to find a gastro pub/restaurant that gets everything right, but I am pleased to say this has been done by the owners of RVI. The wine menu is superb and caters for every pallet, I do recommend the Chablis (at £29 a bottle it is a bit steep considering it is not a premier cru but still enjoyable). On the food aspect, we really could not decide what to have as the choice was excellent. We decided to go straight to main course and save room for dessert (and we where right to do so as the portion sizes where very good !) We had lobster and partridge from the specials and Goosnargh chicken. We did have to wait a while for this but presume this was because of the lobster (the delay was very well handled by the staff and we were kept informed of the wait at all times). This food was well worth the wait though. We could not fault a single thing about any of the meals. For dessert we had blackberry crumble (off the specials), jam roly poly and choclate and orange pudding and yet again we where not disappointed. Never before have I had a crumble in a restaurant that was cooked just like my Mumm used to! It was evident all through the meal that this food is prepared and cooked in house by excellent chefs (not bought in pre cooked like so many places). The decor and layout are perfect for any occasion, service, staff and atmosphere was very good. We were lucky when we arrived and got a table straight away but some friends have advised of 20 - 30 minutes wait for a table. Bookings are only taken on tables of 6 and over. On the whole this was an excellent night and as we were so torn between what to choose on the menu I am sure it will not be long before we return and try something else!

5 stars! A better option than any of the other choices in the area. Particularly liked the nibbles.

Well done to the chefs and waiters - we had a great night. Everything was perfect. Thank you.

Went to The Clog & Billycock last night and was thoroughly impressed. All 3 courses were delicious but the clear winner was the tripe, trotters and black pudding. The presentation of all the food was great but there was a very big wait for our desserts ... luckily it was worth the wait!
