Very cosy and delightful little restaurant. Upon arrival we were greeted, had a little giggle over the 'early' Christmas decorations and was shown to our table. We were served with drinks quickly while waiting for the rest of our party to turn up. Seating by a cosy warm real fire place with soft music in the background was nice. There was complimentary olives and condiments at the start. I actually ate more olives than i ever have in one sitting as i dont like them (I'd like to like them!) but these were ok. Had the chicken liver patè for starters. Really nice, but as with most places the patè to bread ratio wasn't right so we asked for a little more bread. (Hate wasting delicious patè). My main was the Lasagne, which I really enjoyed. Nice crisp cheese topping and tasty right the way through. Topped with parmesan cheese (by the chef) a little unusual as normally the server asks if you would like parmesan but here they just seem to add it without asking. The wife ordered a steak medium rare, now I'm a chefs nightmare 'well done burn the edges' kind of chap so the sight of this medium rare was traumatic for me at best. Nevertheless wifey had some of the steak but left the majority of it. It may have been too rare for her taste (and didnt want to admit it) but she said she just wasn't enjoying it, something about the texture. She didn't raise it with the server so I just told her that's what you get for ordering it like that 😏. Dessert I had the profiteroles which was 3 large, fresh filled rolled that I popped in one at a time. I definitely had my fill and left stuffed..! For 4 of us, 3 beers, 2 soft drinks, 3 starters, 4 mains (Inc 2 steaks), and 3 Deserts it came to about £137, so £35 a head which we thought was reasonable. Thanks guys! See you again!

Came for dinner in a large group tonight and it was 10/10. The food is genuinely the best food in Darwen at the moment. It was all super fresh ingredients and made from scratch. The quality of the ingredients is great (Steak & Prawns amazing!) The service is fantastic, couldn’t do enough for you and gave us a complimentary dessert as we were celebrating. Please visit and hope this restaurant lasts!!
