Ordered the loaded potato dippers and they looked and tasted like they were made by a child in nursery using a microwave for the first time. I could have done a better job with my eyes closed. Coleslaw was dry. Best part were chips and that's not hard to get right. Won't be coming here again. Unless they get a chef in who has passion and pride in his cooking.

We attended Oakenhurst as a very last minute decision for our twins 4th birthday party. We originally had other reservations however when those plans fell through, Oakenhurst was quick to cater to our needs and was everything we wanted and more! I am so so made up with how the twins party turned out and very thankful for the staff who looked after us and made it that extra special. Thank you guys 🩷💫 xx

We visited for lunch around 1pm. The restaurant was clean but fairly busy. Our little one played in the play area and the staff were great with her as she is only 1. The manager, Adam, was very courteous and took the time to explain our menu option. We ordered from lunch deal menu. Adam served us our food within 10 minutes of ordering and he also checked how our food was and if he could get us anything else. Overall, we felt very welcomed and would recommend and would visit again.

Nice place, the food was very nice, a little pricey but nothing unordinary. Perfect for kids as there is a little soft play joined (bare in mind, you have to pay for it). Didn't have to wait long for food even though it was a busy Saturday tea time. As we were staying in the premiur inn next door, we also came for breakfast, which didn't disappoint either. All in all, a nice pub with tasty food.

Stayed 2 nights in the Premier Inn next door. Booked into the restaurant both mornings for breakfast at 7am as our daughter was in a local dance championship, so we had to be up early and eaten to get to the champ. Both mornings the restaurant wasn't set up and the second morning the chef couldn't even be bothered to turn up. This is appalling service when they say the 1st booking for breakfast is 7am. We tried to wait but at 7.40 had to leave with no cooked breakfast. This comp happens every year at the Blackburn Empire theatre and I don't think we will use this hotel and restaurant again. Even the photographer who was staying in the hotel had to go without any breakfast.

Food was good considering its mass purchased, you couldn’t expect better really to be honest. So that was good. People seemed enthusiastic towards the children. Sadly this is where the goodness ends. Placed order and payed, had not decided at time of ordering if we wanted a sweet after. Other in party did. Turns out that we did want to have one. Told kitchen was closed. If it were closed then how could the 4 persons in our party then have their pudding made up? No where did it indicate that they closed the kitchens at a particular time. Nor were we advised. This is pretty poor on the part of the restaurant. I guess we now need to ask from now on if they close kitchens at a particular time.

The breakfast selection was very good and the cooked foods were great. We are a 5 (2 adults and 3 children) so value for money on the breakfast cannot be beaten as the children eat for free.

One of the best value Sunday lunches around without too much compromise on quality. The star is the main course, plenty of everything, nicely served and warm. Starter fine if not a little limited on choice. Can't go wrong with the homemade soup here. Dessert can be mixed. Again if homemade eg sticky toffee then great. However bought in biscoff gateaux was not, dry and a little artificial. Service all good and friendly
