Absolute gem of a place!!! Beautifully decorated and the food was incredible!!! The staff were all extremely friendly and professional! They were courteous and explained things clearly to us. Every mouthful of food was divine!!! Amazing combinations all bursting with beautiful flavours and very unusual! Lovely relaxed time as we weren’t rushed re a time to vacate our table! Will definitely be back here! Love it

Visited CDJ to celebrate our recent wedding and it was superb! Exceeded expectations. We were seated at the chef’s table and thoroughly enjoyed watching the kitchen team in action. Service was seamless and the restaurant is stunning. Every little detail has been thought out and executed perfectly. Had a mixture of dishes, each one was delicious and you can tell how much thought and creativity has gone into each plate. Would highly recommend to anyone and we’ll definitely be back again. Thanks again chef for a great night.

We went to Dan's new place, formerly the Uncle Jack's pub. Upon entering, he's done a smashing job with the indoor and outdoor decor. I opted for the bar menu after seeing what I ended up choosing, leaving the kitchen. All food is prepared and cooked in an open view, which is something I love. I went for the fish and chips. It should really be named whale and chips due to the sheer size of the battered fillet you get served. The fish batter was crisp and lite, and the fish itself was fluffy and flavoursome. It was accompanied by a serving of mint peas slightly pureed and some tarter sauce and a curry mayo as well as some hand cut chips. I highly recommend this place and I will be coming back.

A real breath of fresh air and great to see someone investing in Darwen. Beautiful decor inside and a great service, all staff were very attentive. There’s a really good vibe, chatty atmosphere with some decent music. Prices are really good for a venue of this quality. Lovely outdoor area (didn’t visit as raining but looks well thought out, lots of flowers, outdoor bar and toilets). Sunday lunch, salmon and lamb were excellent, the beef was a little fatty hence the four star review rather than five. Will look forward to returning and will definitely recommend.

Excellent food in this new venue. A really interesting and wide menu where there seemed something for everyone. Lovely serving staff and modern, bright surroundings. I chose tapas and side dishes of bouillabaisse ravioli, miso hispi cabbage (divine) and broccoli - delicious. Others had the monkfish wellington, honey chicken dish, goats cheese burger, salads. All really nice.

My friend chose this eatery and specifically asked if plant based options were available and was assured that there were sufficient choices. It was evident that the staff had very little knowledge (if any) of plant based food. The tapas choice was significantly limited and there was not enough to satisfy my appetite. Furthermore, there were no plant based desserts. I therefore asked for a tea but there was no dairy alternative. Overall a very disappointing and costly experience.

Absolutely fabulous Tapas, great service and ambience. Dan is a great guy, down to earth but clearly a professional chef. A shining star in Darwen. I cannot fault this restaurant.

Went for steak night. We all had the rump and somehow they made it melt like a fillet. Everything was spot on from the drinks to the food to the desserts and brilliant service and entertainment. Top notch

We were expecting the Tapas menu, but our mistake for not reading the days on offer .The waitress was lovely and so apologetic even though it was our fault . We were given a complimentary drink and booked for the correct day .Great customer service . On another note the chopping skills we heard in the kitchen were amazing

Called in at CDJ for a late breakfast on a rainy Saturday a few weeks back and it was very very good, in fact the veggie breakfast was excellent. Had friends staying this week so decided to try the tapas menu. Our visit coincided with the launch of a new menu and the place was busy and so the pace was leisurely and relaxed with a nice atmosphere. The menu includes a recommendation of 5 or 6 dishes between two and this was spot on. I have never eaten Tapas of this quality and would rate 11 of the 12 dishes as outstanding. I can’t wait to return. Brilliant.

Booked a table of 5 for my friends birthday, we chose the bottomless brunch option and OMG it was amazing! 90 minutes of the highest quality tapas food I opted for the chicken thigh and the salt cod croquettes… food heaven! All washed down with unlimited cocktails 🍹 the strawberry daiquiris were absolute perfection 👌🏼 I was too full to eat the dessert! 🙀 Plenty to chose from on the menu I’ll definitely be returning and recommending to all my friends

Planned a surprise meal here for a friend's birthday, the owner couldn't of been more helpful when planning. The staff were fantastic, the food was amazing, not a scrap left on any of the plates and there were 15 of us eating Tapas. Great wines. Honestly can not fault it. Everyone loved it. Such a high quality of food in a rural town, just fabulous

Well all I can say about this place is me and my family love it. Been to many times to remember and tried pretty much everything on the menu and previous menu’s. I have a fussy 5yr old and the chef always manages to make something he will demolish. Staff are welcoming and polite. Chefs are always happy to have a little chat if not flat out. Food is out of this world, never drink in there as have kids so can’t comment on them but we our looking forward to our next visit

We decided to try after a recommendation by a friend. I can’t compliment the staff enough on how welcome they made us feel,the service and advice/knowledge about the various dishes. Excellent value considering the high quality of all the tapas dishes. We will be returning soon.

Came with friends for the bottomless brunch for my birthday, £35 for 90 minutes. Not much selection on the menu although they do have a vegetarian option. You get two tapas (not bottomless) and a waffle and bottomless drinks. The drinks were mediocre, not much to choose from, the tapas were the smallest portions, we left hungry and went for chips. We weren’t given an option for toppings on the waffle even though it said we did. All in all very disappointing. The food tasted amazing but two tiny tapas and a teeny waffle just spoilt the experience.

Been a big fan of CDJ since it opened. The food is fresh, tasty and portion sizes are more than suitable. Whether you're going for a quiet breakfast, brunch, your evening meal or having a party, Dan and the team can cater for all. I even had my birthday party there back in April and the food & service was absolute spot on, as always. You will struggle to find anywhere better in the area!

We visited this eatery last night having pre booked a table. We got shown to our table by a member of staff and then left sitting for around 15 minuets without drinks or menus. Staff stood around talking not showing the slightest inclination of an intention of even asking if we wanted a drink or anything. The staff did serve food to the table behind us and all we could hear was customers saying "That's not what i ordered and sending the meals back. We decided to leave at that point unwilling to wait any longer for someone to even acknowledge our presence.

Visited this restaurant for the first time in a while and will definitely not be going again. Upon walking through the door we were met with between 7 and 10 uber eats, deliveroo and just eat drivers all standing around between the ordering machines and the tables loudly chatting away in their own language. We had to ask several to move so we could get passed to sit at a table. Our food took ages to arrive as every order called seemed to be delivery orders. And Throughout our meal the loud conversations continued. Some even collected their food orders and returned to the group to continue chatting. Mcdonalds has to decide what is more important, customer satisfaction or making more money. I will not return to this restaurant to eat in and now knowing my food sits on a counter or in a delivery bag for upto 5 minutes before going anywhere has put me off ordering online too
