Oakenhurst Farm in Blackburn with Darwen

We just had the Christmas dinner here and my goodness the food is delicious!! Served in good time and by a wonderful fun but professional team, especially Fred!! They made us welcome. It was like meeting up with old friends. Thank you all for a lovely evening. M and M (mandy and martin) x

Fred was amazing, very attentive, and helpful with our little one. The place great and food tasty too.

I thought it was a joke when I came across from the hotel for a drink at 10 pm on a Friday to be told the bar is *closed* what idiot decided this. It's owned by a brewery I thought the ethos would be to sell alcohol not to deter sales

I had the rump steak with peppercorn sauce it was the best steak ive had in a while

Fred is a fantastic member of staff. Very helpful. Very friendly.

We ate here 3 adults 3 children the atmosphere is always good when we come and Fred and staff always makes us feel welcome great experience

Excellent service from all but especially from a lady from JEN.who looked after us brilliantly whilst being professional she was friendly and always with a smile .Will definitely come again

Great value, lovely staff and food delicious 😋

Great place to take the kids, soft play area which is always managed by a staff member. There is a seating area next to it to eat and watch your kids at the same time. Food is pretty good value and they always have offers on

We love coming here every week for breakfast. The kids love it too. Staff are always friendly great food and brilliant atmosphere.

Went for the carvery on a Sunday at 12.30 and it wasn't too busy but we sat in kids free zone lol like if Sagar holidays did carvery. Overall 4 out of 5 across the board, food was good and fresh and I shall be going back. Not bad value at £11.99 for a carvery these days. Bravo 👏

Amazing staff, excellent team Fred always checking in and making our time the most comfortable

Good service throughout our visit. Fred makes the experience more enjoyable, so welcoming, friendly and such a nice guy!

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.

Had a fantastic and relaxing Saturday night at the oahenhurst farm the food and service was spot on will definitely be coming back 👍

Met up here with friends for lunch and drinks. The staff are really friendly. Love the comfy chairs and relaxing atmosphere. Quick service . Nothing too much trouble.

Thought I should write a review it’s not the first visit here with my grandchildren and won’t be the last, the food here is kind of what you’d expect and definitely value for money, the customer service is fantastic and the play area is perfect to entertain the nippers.

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.

We went for Sunday carvery, all the staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was good, well cooked and reasonably priced. When the vegetable containers were empty they were quickly refilled.

Brewers Fayre have really upped their game since I used to use them staying away with work a few years ago. Food is excellent. Highly recommend breakfast which, although is all you can eat, it is NOT buffet style, and everything is cooked fresh, to order.

Great play area for the children. Food is average

Really good and brilliant for kids witplthe soft play

Nice venue.. Good offers Staff very helpful Thank you Enjoyed mid week Bite..

Staying next door , told shuts at 10 even though it say 11 on website, but last orders at 9.30, no wonder it's empty

Second time here and what an amazing place and food was spot on had the Sunday carvery and what an amazing experience thankyou to laura the server you did a fantastic job

Just ok staff were very nice though

Very happy to come again. Thank you

Food (carvery) was very nice! Service was great, let us move tables so we was closer to the play area. Lady who took both my food/drink orders was very very polite and friendly! Would recommend for a family with young ones

Stopped on way home. Lovely food, great service and clean restaurant.

Greeted with a smile , fast service starter main and pudding perfect prep timing looks and taste . will definitely be going again ..good prices also :)

Trisha and the team were so welcoming and kind and made our experience very enjoyable. Thank you so much, we will be back! :D

Came for some food after watching a rovers game. Really nice pub, good food and staff are so friendly especially Fred our server 🙂

Food was terrible, service was great and staff were helpful 👍🏼

We had breakfast which we all enjoyed

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 a little disappointing,to be fair I could have eaten 2 of what I ordered,but it's every time I've been to eat there

Catch up with friends. Standard pub grub x

Food good one day went a few. day's later and was abit of a let down.so it's hit and miss

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.

Super service. Lady’s are always super nice and helpful. My little boy was super happy and they were super accommodating to my friend who has an allergy

Lovely food and took care of my gluten allergy.

Used for dinner and breakfast when staying at the premier Inn next door. Good service and atmosphere.

Toilets dont lock no loo roll everything out of order bloody disgrace to say you charge so much for food and drink tje place needs some serious repair

Been in a few times with colleagues, good food and beers, and staff very helpful

Excellent service from Fred and the crew Food was good for us and grandchildren especially the desserts Play was very good the kids said

Fantastic service especially from Fred. He was great with the children and extremely friendly. Thankyou for making Vinnies birthday special.

Popped in here for an unplanned meal on Friday. Was busy due to Rovers first game of the season but service as always was first class - especially the legend Fred. Great drinks and superb food and even though it was busy didn’t have to wait long at all.

Fab food, sublime service. Family tea out and we are all very happy. Thank you Fred for your super service. ;)

Always a great place to visit, especially when you get a waiter like Fred! He is such an accommodating, friendly, funny and unforgettable staff member, who always wants to do the very best for you! Nothing is too much trouble! Great food, great service and great place for a last minute tea out! Get the lasagne!

Fred, our server was fantastic and well mannered Food was cooked to perfection and speedy to arrive at the table

With only three people in the reasteruant for breakfast I walked out after a 35 Min wait for breakfast as I needed to get to work

Pleasant and clean. Brewers Fayre standard menus.

Fab for the family. Food was lovely, Kids love the play area, staff always friendly and Fred always makes the experience extra special!!!!

Great service as always - Fred as attentive as ever

My 8 yr old, “can I have whipped cream with sprinkles please”? Top manager, Adam. My little man was very very happy. Made a slight request and Adam brought it out, amazing thank You.

I had started to avoid this place as the food went down hill. Tried it again today and there has been a massive improvement in the food. Staff have always been lovely, helpful and welcoming. We will be back again now.

Amazing food. Quick service and very friendly staff. Especially thank Katie shes sound.

First time here for a fabulous meal for a family birthday. Trish was super helpful and friendly. Food was hot, fresh and very reasonably price. Will be returning soon

Such a lovely environment and the service was amazing. I had Declan serving my table and he was amazing!! Super helpful and charismatic. Recommend

Fab place 2nd visit this week staff are lovely 😍 and foods spot on and cheap 😀

We visit every week with the children. Trish goes above beyond every single time we come. She is fab with the kids and delivers excellent service. Thanks Trish.

Food was amazing and came out very quick. Service was outstanding by both katie & Jen who couldn't do more for us!

Really enjoyed the pizza more than enough for me and staff lovely as always

Fred was very polite and friendly. He gave us table service for drinks and made sure we were looked after all day. He's one in a million!

We have today been for the unlimited breakfast as our closest brewers Fayre has now closed. Very impressed with Oakenhurst Farm as a restaurant. Really bright and well spaced tables. 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. The staff were friendly and helpful. Well recommend highly and will be returning again as this will be our go to place for eating out breakfasts

Early morning breakfast visit and staff good

Diverted to here to use a voucher and was yet again told we couldn't for some reason

Really good place to take children as the self contained play area is pretty good. The food was decent and the staff were lovely. Worth a visit. Recommend the trio of pies! 11/07/24: Return visit and have to say that I really enjoyed it. The food is decent but the staff today were amazing. It's a fantastic place to visit if you have kids and need a distraction.

Food terrible. Fish and chips like they where warmed up.

Excellent quality food and generous portions. Service quick and efficient

Always friendly service , great priced family breakfast

Been for the unlimited breakfast a few times and have never been disappointed. Great food and nice friendly staff 👍

Good inexpensive food, nice staff and service.

This used to be a nice place however the prices have gone up whilst the food and service quality has gone way down. Once our meals arrived, some of the food was overcooked and the ingredients were lacking. What was supposed to bacon looked like burnt sinew. We were asked if we needed condiments which only arrived after asking a second time and by then 2 out of 4 diners had finished. To top it off, my 5 year old was missing part of her meal which after informing staff never arrived. Very disappointing and it will a long time before I return.

Loved it!! Excellent food. Would definitely visit again!!

Trish is amazing we have a disabled daughter and she always has a table ready some where quiet for us and we all love her to bits

As a family we come here for breakfast every week. Trish is usually our waitress and always goes above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We always bring my 9 month old grandson and Trish is always making sure he gets to try anything he wants and never has complained about the mess he makes eating. Emma the chef is also fantastic and caters to individual needs of our booking and always cooks our breakfast perfectly 👌 would definitely recommend for anyone to come here 😀

The best place to eat and let your kids play amazing staff aka Trish and Jen are the best they will be the nicest people you will ever meet on earth.

Good pub to go to before the football. Friendly staff. Kids played footy outside so loved it. Only 20mins walk to the ground. Nice mix of home and away fans.

Trish and Jen are really nice staff members and great food

Staff/Trish very nice. Good quality and value. Very accomdating and handy for staying at premier inn.

Good food. Comfortable pub. Staff friendly and helpful ( particularly Trish the team leader).

Only found this One when putting in post code for Brewers Fayre as going to theatre in Blackburn, will definatly come back

went for dinner today first visit and had the mixed grill steak was cooked to perfection’ special thanks to trisha who even did desserts to the table after the meal. i was informed my chef was called emma. all i can say is thank you for making a regular customer out of me and the wife

Took family/grandchildren to this restaurant and was so impressed with the play area for the kids, staff who were absolutely so friendly and helpful and the food which was far better than I expected. The steak was as good and cooked to my liking medium rare.. Well done, couldn't find fault. Would DEFINITELY visit again when in the area.

Jodie, in the play room is amazing. She is so good with the children. She has a lovely, kind & caring vibe about her which the children obviously pick up. Highly impressed with her interaction with the children and how positive and welcoming to patrons she is. Very polite and professional too.

The food and staff was lovely!... We've been twice to this particular venue, once for breakfast which was brilliant as there is lots of choice, Highly recommend the fish pie for an evening meal. Great prices too will definitely return in the near future

Good for family to catch up, great for kids because of the play area but service when we went not that good

A nice stop off meal before our journey back home

Good food, friendly service. Good stop off for food

First time stopping for food and pints was greeted by Lucy who was brilliant good bita craic which is always nice. Food was nice hot and quick aswell as the serve overall very happy will be back again

Waited 50 minutes for main course. The food was basic. Gave up waiting for the dessert I paid for as it was still not served an hour after my main. Lone diner so not multiple orders to manage.

Waited nearly an hour, the mixed grill was burnt, sausages black, asked for medium steak it looked to have been cremated. Smothered chicken was very average and for what we paid definitely not worth the money, combine that with screaming kids running about whilst trying to eat and have a conversation it was rubbish!

Great pup & Lucy is a great server, she is good with all the customers & always happy.

Absolutely amazing food and cleanliness is amazing too service was great by Lucy happy to help always smiling and laughing great with customers thank you

Lucy welcomed us at the brewers Fayre with the biggest smile and then server us at the bar and then came back over to check on us what a delight to the team nothing was to much trouble she made us feel so comfortable deffinatly coming back food and drink amazing

Food was good well priced staff friendly well worth a trip

The creamy chicken pie was bloody gorgeous and I would defo recommend it 😊,everyone else also enjoyed there food.. The only thing that grated us at our table was a member of staff called LUCY!!! She was going from table to table and asking them to do a review for her telling them to say she was fantastic this that and the other so she could win some chocolate!!! I even heard one lady at her table say after she harassed them at there table, I quote - so she wants us to tell lies for her lol I mentioned it to the manager but she wasn't too bothered saying that she is a bit of a Firecracker she knows all the customers!!! Asking them to leave a review about her and telling them to say i quote - that she is amazing so she can win some chocolates is abit much!! Food was really good, all the staff really nice,lucy was nice apart from being a highly strung Firecracker 🧨 🤣 Chairs and tables could do with an overhaul as welll as they all looked really tired Other than that spot on food...

Lucy is a breath of fresh air, nothing is too much trouble she is definitely the life and sole of the place! Never a dull moment when Lucy is around!

Lucy our sever had been nothing but amazing she is so bubble and smiley nothing is to much trouble had the best time 100% reccomend visiting food great as well
