There is no doubt that Chef Dan Jolley and his team shine through with the standard and quality of food. We (my mum and me) shared 6 small plates tapas all with equal success. The team were really friendly and just need a bit more attention to detail of service - which I’m sure will come through time. The biggest factor that pulled the whole experience down significantly was the atmosphere : Walking into a wall of music akin to a disco at decibel levels that made your ears bleed was disconcerting. Thankfully they did turn the music down to a decent level. The main problem was constant stream of off street walk ins on a Darwen pub crawl getting leathered, accompanied with a Harry Potter film showing on a big screen TV next to the bar? It’s early days - week 3 of opening so I really hope you find your fit. Perhaps offer drinks only on the outside terrance or screen the dining area better. We had drinkers sat for a time next to us! Not a great dining experience at £95. The food however was truly brilliant.

Another brilliant evening with delicious food. We’ve been wanting to take our friends who don’t live locally here for a long time and they loved it. Service was spot on and all dishes top notch.

Great evening, everything spot on, food, service, ambience brilliant.

Food was excellent, venue is beautiful and staff were friendly

Staying in the area on holiday, and this is the only venue we visited twice. Fantastic pizzas at reasonable prices, and v friendly staff. Our dog was made to feel particularly welcome. Many thanks. Next time we're in the area, we'll be sure to visit!

Amazing atmosphere, lovely environment and food was top class - made our anniversary special

Excellent menu with plenty of choice for all palettes. Food swiftly and superbly cooked and presented. Staff extremely attentive and friendly. Will definitely be returning.

Great, the move from Darwen to new location was great and the quality has improved even more with the venue upgrade. Best place around and now wine list is much better.

Excellent food with fantastic service.

Lovely meal faultless room was OK but shared it with a flipping dog at another table. Do NOT agree with animals in and around food tables or kitchens slavering everywhere. That was what spoilt it for my party of 7. Otherwise ok. I am an Associate Member of Public Health & Hygiene and animals were not permitted in Eateries when l qualified my Certificate. Old habits die hard.

Excellent food. Good service. Friendly atmosphere. In all , very pleased

Booked for a Sunday Evening, didn't realise it was a set menu but the food was amazing regardless. Staff and service were excellent and the open kitchen is a real bonus. We felt that the music was (although very good) was a little loud. Our only gripe, if you will, was that as a couple it was a bit awkward being sat in the middle of the dining room. Would have imagined couples to be sat near the windows and groups in the middle. But will remember for next time. All in all a great experience.

It was amazing overall , the food is fresh & great experience with reasonable prices , the service is wonderful
