Encore Chorley

Went for a meal before a visit to Chorley Theatre next door. It wasn't overly busy when we arrived, it was early but it seemed to take a while before we got any attention with someone asking us for drinks etc. We ordered our food and the the starters came out quite quickly. But the wait for the main course after that was about half an hour, which was just long enough for me to start getting a little annoyed - Especially as we'd booked long enough in advance for the show at the theatre. My starter, the Spiced Lamb Kofta, was tasty enough but a little on the small side. Can't really complain, it was a starter, but maybe a couple of mouthfuls and it was over with. I had the Smash Burger for main, and it was just that. A Smash Burger, which for the price was a disappointment. I make Smash Burgers a lot and it wasn't anything I couldn't have done myself for a fraction of the cost. They're cheap, easy, but tasty. That's kind of the point of them. Given the price I expected some kind of wow factor, which I didn't get. Call me naive, I mean, I got what I asked for, but... 🤷‍♂️ The atmosphere or the place was nice and pleasant, the staff, if a little unattentive, where friendly and polite. We gave ourselves a good hour before our show to eat and we just made the start time. We basically had to eat and run which I felt a bit bad about but we'd have missed the start of the show if we didn't.

Wow! Me and my friend came for lunch today (Friday) and had the most incredible tasty 3 course meal. Great value and top quality food. The decor and interior design of the place is so beautiful, most of it hand crafted and the guy is so passionate about his business which is refreshing to see. Highly recommend and will be back very soon. If you need some nice pics for the Gram this is a gorgeous place. Go ! The best thing to do is experience it for yourself. Thank you so much for a lovely day
