Bridgewater in Blackburn with Darwen

We had a table booked for our family after going for a walk up Darwen Tower. We hadn’t realised the football was on! Jenna was superb though and looked after us all. Made the kids feel comfortable, brought water for the dog, and made sure we were happy.

Came in for a drink and was greeted with such politeness off of Kayleigh, Sophie and Naomi. Very lovely staff and such pleasant people to talk to. Will definitely be visiting soon to meet the rest of the lovely staff.

Visit the Bridgewater regularly and always recieve the very best of service from Kayleigh and Sophie. Very lovely girls.

Came into the lovely decorated pub yesterday after my car broke down, was treat with great service and understanding by Kayleigh and Jess who were very attentive and understanding. I had a great coffee and a chat with them and would love to return soon.

Come to bridge weekly and always get the best service off of Kayleigh and the rest of the wonderful staff there.

Very dog friendly pub and Kayleigh their bar staff is very attentive to me and my two little dogs. It’s always a very nice day out in bridgewater. Highly recommend

Popped in for a quick pint to get out the cold and was pleasantly surprised by the great customer service off of their bar maid Kayleigh. Such a lovely person to have served me today. Will most definitely be coming back again.

I usually come here daily and today when I came in I had a great welcoming from kayleigh, followed by her great service which is constant with every visit. Always a pleasure to see such happy staff.

I love this place it's gr8 4 a night out or a meal with kids. The staff r gr8 & particularly Kayleigh who is always quick 2 serve & helpful when needed

Kayleigh is always here to help

Went for a works christmas do the table was decorated with crackers and santa hats was lovely as we did not expecting it the food and the service was good had a very good night would recommend

My daughter got spiked in your pub last night...were she was in the toilets for 3 hours and couldn't move ...were was your bouncers and staff this is dispicable the police shall be involved

My friend and I go there on Wednesday lunch time and really enjoy the atmosphere, the service and the food is always good.

Lovely pub, warmest welcome from the moment you walk in the door. Jess is always happy to serve

I visit daily, always warm and lovely atmosphere. Jess isn't bad also

Lovely pub, Jess and Sophie pour a stunning pint!

Love this place, hence why we are in most weekends. Great selection of real ales and always something new for us to try. Brilliant atmosphere for watching the footy, and it's so easy reserving a particular table to watch it. Saying that, there are so many tv's you never have a problem being able to see one of them, and the lovely staff will even split the screens if there is more than one game on. Big shout out to Kristina and Jenna who always go above and beyond, but all the staff are fab 👌

Amazing pub, you wont find one member of staff who wont go above and beyond

Really enjoying our coffee mornings at the Bridgewater - older than we’d like to be but still treated like royalty by Gary, Christina and the team.

Had plant burger and chips which was enjoyable Jenna was wonderful our meal arrived very quickly and excellent selection of drinks and ales. Nothing was to much trouble for Jenna she was marvellous and should be promoted

Great value for lunch and a drink! Burgers/pizzas all sorts of options! Great atmosphere, Really friendly helpful staff too

Meg and Jess are the dream team <3

Great staff lovely food lovely atmosphere 👌 ❤️

The staff and breakfast on Saturday mornings is fantastic.

Ordered from here using their Korean takeaway mandu, terrible food

NICE PLACE MEAL TOP CLASS.FOR PRICE..

Ordered food from here as they propose to to do Korean takeaway (Mandu Guys). If you’re thinking of ordering from Mandu’s the new Korean place then don’t bother (pretty sure it’s a dark kitchen anyway). My partner got a chicken rice bowl, stale and cold (£10!) and these were meant to be Korean loaded fries, they were literally cheesy chips (I’m not a 19 year old girl after all night out at Levels).

Great place. Team very friendly and the food came to the table nice and hot and was delicious. Would recommend to anyone

Nipped in earlier today for a coffee & was greeted by a lady called Jenna. She was very approachable & came to us with a smile. She made us feel comfortable & helped us with any questions. Lovely customer service & was very quick with our order😊

I was served today by a lady called Jenna, she was very lovely and informative and always approached us with a smile. Very happy

I went to watch the football with my son. We had amazing table service from Jenna, cask ale was on point (j2o for the kid!) and food was brill

Got to say since moving to Darwen the Bridgwater is my favourite establishment to have a drink. Great drinks, atmosphere and wonderful staff, special mention to Jenna and Sophie who deliver exceptional service every time.

Coming over from Ramsbottom specific for Rovers games, The Bridgewater is my favourite place to go post games and watch on TV for away games. Particularly impressed with Jenna with table service for the last 2 visits

Popped in for something to eat before a show. I'd looked at the menu online but to be honest I wasn't expecting anything good. We booked a table and the bar girl was really friendly and polite. We ordered a couple of burgers and it was pretty tasty. The burgers came with a free drink as long as it's a soft drink and you pay a £1 for a beer or £1.50 for a decent beer. Still not a bad deal. Pudding was okay, but it was honeycomb cheesecake and I couldn't taste much honeycomb to be honest. All in all not bad and I would go back.

Brilliant food great bottomless brunch shout out to jenna and Sophie they was brill thanks xxx

Absolutely brilliant atmosphere and food jenna and sophie was superb hostesses, definitely recommend.

Very nice thanks. Stopped in on way to football at Darwen fc. Friendly staff, good menu and a decent pint. Served by Jenna who was lovely!

Had a fantastic afternoon at the bridgewater darwen having a bottomless brunch fantastic service off Sophie and Jenna thanks girls for brilliant afternoon x

We ordered food from the Bridgewater via just eat. The order was placed with Mandu Guys which is predominantly Korean food. The food, service (delivery) and quality overall was outstanding. The food itself was incredible. Darwen hasn’t offered Korean food before now and this place didn’t disappoint. We got a variety of dumplings, 2 different types of chicken with sticky rice and kimchi. The food was on time (prebooked 2 hours before), piping hot and tasted outstanding! The rice was awesome and the dumplings were my personal favourite. If you fancy something other than the usual that Darwen has to offer, I cannot recommend Mandu Guys out of the Bridgewater enough.

Lovely meal at the Bridgewater. Kristina was friendly and helpful as always. Love that it is dog friendly too 👍🏼

Great staff friendly atmosphere always made welcome by staff and customers

Tea with my wife and grandchildren

Disgusting comments from previous poster about Asian door staff shame on you ! My local it’s great food spot on and the young lad behind the bar who is off to Portsmouth to Uni is a credit to you . Racists stay away this place not for you , I love the place

First time visiting Darwen. Great experience and staff were very attentive. Kayleigh was brilliant! We had a great experience. Will definitely return

Lovely service by Kayleigh who always has a smile and is helpful

Kayleigh was an amazing server and really helped to make my experience amazing!

Come here weekly as it’s the best venue in Darwen in my opinion. When I come in Kayleigh always makes sure to go the extra mile to make sure me and all the other guests are welcome while also making sure the tables are all clean ready for the next customer! Would highly recommend this place.

In my experience it's barely good. I turned up on a Sunday night. I have no idea why they need Asian bounsers, but I'm my humble we need a mix of bouncers in terms of race. I've no idea why they all appear to be ethics ethnic in the past few years.

What can I say beer was okay, but no dark ones available. Had the 3 dishes for £12.99. I had chicken wings with Bombay sauce, no complaints. My wife had Chilli beef doritos with salsa, and jalapeños. Good for me I love Jalapeños. The beef chilli was lacking in quantity, temprature and spice. There was more salsa than chilli and it was spicer. Disappointed and my wife told the lady waitress so. The 3rd dish was prawns fried in batter served on a bed of wilted turning brown lettuce. This came with a spicy mayo dip, really. It is debatable if the prawns were even prawns. It looks like we will stick to "Spoons" in future.

First time having food at Bridgewater food was excellent also ordered drinks one being a latte served by Jordan was really impressed by the way he made it even warming the cup it came in, stayed warm until I'd eaten my meal. Jordan your a star

Every time we come here the atmosphere food price and the quality is spot one perfect goto place 5 stars across the board try it once at least I did and keep coming back as the service is 100%

Amazing service from Kyrone drinks were on point and the was very polite and helpful while i was making my decision of what to drink will definitely be back

Great food and atmosphere. Lovely service by Kyrone!! A credit to your establishment

Very accommodating, last minute booking of a table of 15 and the staff was amazing, went above and beyond for us, fast delivery of food considering we was a large table Will definitely return 👍

Always come here in my free time, had the best service off of all the staff working, especially ebony and jade. Very lovely pair.

Not a bad place for a few drinks. Kyrone was funny and always made sure to get my orders in and that I was taken care of. Everyone else was nice too!!

Good food lovely welcoming staff, and great atmosphere

had a lovely evening here, good atmosphere and great staff especially our server kyrone

Had a nice drink passing through, Kyrone was a lovely server and was helpful with my drink choice.

It’s a very cozy atmosphere, i appreciate the staff, such as Jess and Jade! they’re very accommodating. Abi and Zade are very friendly also!

Best pub in darwen, especially Jess and Jade. Best service ever!

Jenna was very welcoming, when bringing our drinks she also brought our dog treats and water. Excellent service :)

Excellent . Take advantage of free seventh pint offer and free breakfast offers

Nice place for a great night night out xxxx

Only a quick visit, staff was lovely, food ok and a good price. Would recommend

Jess always has my burger waiting, yum

Great for late night, DJ Jason knows whats what

Great food, Staff and atmosphere. Jess always goes above and beyond

Large group of us had a buffet lunch today and the food was brilliant!!! Really enjoyed everything, hot and cold well above average buffet food!!! 😋 Endless tea and coffee thanks so much and the staff were lovely and work hard!

Lovely food and lovely atmosphere. Big well done to Megan who helped us when we had an issue, she sorted it quickly and kept us happy.

Full of kids on a Saturday night

Just a few drinks here, but good atmosphere whether it's busy or quiet

Always amazing coffees from Jess

Everything is bob on, especially Jessica who never lets me forget my mixr points

The food is disgusting the burgers are nasty and the old chaple is way better than this place: I won't be coming again and it's dirty too

We booked for something to eat as we were visiting the area. This is basically a massive sports bar/nightspot by the looks of it, with dj booth etc. We were put on a small (for the 6 of us) table at the back of this huge sports pub, with the manager saying he had so many tables booked, though we didn't see many people eating. The first thing we noticed was the floor that our feet were sticking too. Also the sticky menus. Our food came about 45 minutes later, which considering it's basic Wetherspoons fayre is a long wait. Then it came in parts.. The last meal delivered about 15 minutes after the first. The bacon on my chicken burger was a fatty grey colour, very weird.

Ebony and jess were lovely and helpful. Service is great and lovely atmosphere weather for a hot brew or cold pint.

Ebony was really helpful and polite overall Great staff. Great service.

Really enjoyed my night there and really liked the mixr app, and the free drink I got with it!

Went to the Bridgewater to watch The rugby, we had a table, met some friends and had a great time.

Need to improve your toilets Bridgewater. Just got a reply to this review..... 5 years later haha

Popped in for a bite to eat, enjoyed a fish wrap it was tasty. Good price, served quickly by a friendly waitress Jenna, she was welcoming and smiling, good customer service. It is a pub with a lot of tv’s showing the footie so if you want to sit and chat it’s not going to happen!

Food was delicious and the staff were so friendly and helpful when my son made a mess

Great place weather it's for a drink, food and a good party! Great staff and service

Quality place with the best staff!

Amazing staff and always friendly 👏

Came in with family had meals &drinks everything was spot on nice friendly environment staff where amazing nice cosy place for a family get together

Lovely food, warm friendly staff (Jenna) nice atmosphere 👌

Discrimination from door men I had a bad experience tonight I was trying to be polite all night and ye your door staff proceeedes to be discriminatory towards me allowing others in but not me when I was sober and only asking to go ask the staff if they had my bank card, during this someone tried to come out of the building so to be polite i held the door in which, 1 door man proceeded to push me almost down the stairs, if I hadn’t caught myself then the other threatened and I quote “ ill spark you out mate” I have video evidence of them both with me asking for their identification, as I have done the sia qualification I know they violated most of the things it teaches such as do not escalate a situation, which as I stated was threatened and pushed towards a staircase on which I could of fallen down and cracked the back of my head and also refusing to give their identification when asked and turning their badges so they can’t be identified yet I have video of both door men which caused this commotion and also assaulted me so I’d like to know names and badge numbers and have them stripped of position as they clearly can’t deal well with people plus they lied about the third doorman which had been on

Fun night. Loved it. D. J was great.

Very nice meal, value for money and good service. We'll be back.

Such amazing service from Zade she's always so bubbly and happy to help

Just wanted to say a big thank you to the staff on Sunday 10th December, afternoon/ evening (3.30-9) when we came in They were lovely and friendly and really took care of us and we were a fairly large party Thank you!

Came in to bridgewater and was served by Zade lovely woman service was excellent and very friendly
