Oakenhurst Farm in Blackburn with Darwen

We have been coming here for many years with various family members. The last five years with grandchildren who love the play area and staff. Katie is definitely one of their favourites as she is ours.

Was very happy with my meal and the waitress that served me ( Demi ) was very nice and welcoming. Very pleased

They defi upped there came since we here last . Young girl behind bar was excellent unfortunately didn't get her name but was so helpful and very pleasant

Lovely food and great service especially by Fred

Very friendly staff.. I enjoyed the starters. The calamari and

Second visit to the Premier Inn and chose it because of the pub/restaurant. The staff are a credit to this place and very personable in particular Fred and Holly super friendly and chatty. The food is good, plenty to choose from and reasonably priced we've tried burgers and sirloin and both were very nice.

It's a brewers fayre, never going to win food awards but it's ok to just pop in & have some grub & a pint.

Went for breakfast, all you want for £10.99, really good value, quick service, will be back.

Wonderful all great staff particular thanku to Holly very helpful and nothing was a bother will return jon

Food was disgraceful tomato soup tasted like heated up ketchup.cheap white bread floating on top. Not even toasted. Lasagna was tasteless and competed with the garlic bread. Didn’t touch the salad as it was covered in a dressing I didn’t order. Staff were to brash and loud… will avoid this place next time will complain to premier inn as the pub is next to the hotel where I’m staying. Clients in the pub were weird? Felt like I was surrounded by red necks. On a positive note the best thing about the place was going through the exit which was blocked by a number of smokers who were stood in clouds of toxic tobacco smoke!

Good place, decent food and friendly staff who are always willing to help. Can get a little busy due to the attached children's play area (along the lines of a wacky warehouse). It can get a little loud due to the kids play area depending on where you sit but that aside it is a good place.

We were going out for dinner but the pub we usually go to was fully booked. Passed this one on the way back and decided to try it. 2 adults and 2 kids. Turns out it’s my new favourite. Food was lovely and it wasn’t expensive at all. Kids area is nice and clean and they enjoyed messing until food came. Better than having them on iPads at the dinner table!

Always have an amazing time at brewsters. The staff are so wonderful and friendly, they always have a smile on their faces and a laugh to share. The food is lovely for the price point. The kids play aria is always so clean. Warm welcoming atmosphere, would recommend to anyone looking for a cheap and cheerful meal out with there family.

Kids loved the food. Chill atmosphere. Reasonably priced. Polite staff.

Brilliant friendly fast service, good food as always

Friday night treat!! It has become a weekly occurrence that after work on a Friday we nip to brewsters for a £5 meal. Can’t go wrong with that! Always great quality and the kids love the play area after a full day at nursery! 🍽️

Went in for some lunch on Saturday 26th April, and was greeted/served by two lovely individuals (Demi and Elli) I believe their names were. They were very attentive to my needs as a customer, and as I am quite a picky/fussy eater they were very patient, suggesting various things on the menu based on my thoughts on what to eat, they made things easy for me when ordering, paying, getting drinks, and always served me with a smile. Honestly, would highly recommend here just based on those two customer service skills, as I was treated and/or felt like a guest, rather than just another customer.

Had a great time, as we went for food and drinks due to it being a friends birthday! The food and service was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful! I would like to say thank-you to Jen who was superb, very friendly and made the evening a happy one.

Thank you to Olivia and staff for the evening meals yesterday and carvery’s today. Absolutely fantastic food and atmosphere. Can not fault it. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They provide a 5* star service to everyone and would give them more * if we could.

Great value weekday daytime dining!

Ideal location while visiting family and friends in East Lancashire, booked the meal deal which includes evening meal and breakfast in the next morning, evening meal was average at best the garlic mushrooms starter was rock hard and no hint of garlic what so ever!!! The burger was burnt but the skin on chips were good, so we just didn't bother highlighting our concerns because they had 2 lovely staff working on the Easter Saturday who were both pleasant and had lovely personalities too, Fred from Cadiz was very funny and kept cracking jokes and having fun and banter and Holly was absolutely lovely and very chatty and loves her football ⚽ and is a passionate dingle, Burnley supporter (poor thing lol) ..... good crack and good banter from them both which made up for the average at best food... the breakfast the next day was typical English buffet breakfast and help yourself... which was a bull bait with it being Easter and kids eat free it was absolutely manic so we got what we could and enjoyed what was available before we hit the road home.... Fred was fab, Holly was lovely the meal deal leaves a lot to be desired...

A solid 3 stars. If you need some average/good food but have kids that need entertaining, then this has the best play area around.

Went for lunch, 4 adults and 3 kids, but they no longer do any lunch food, like sandwiches, pannis or jacket pots. Had to also feed my boy afterwards and his meal was just not good value. The lad waiter told us that the service was slow as he was just not good at carrying out food... seemed a strange admission..

Fred is always a happy chappie and always willing to help. Fred is funny and no matter if you are an adult or child, he interacts in a professional and helpful manner. I hope the managers see this and give Fred a token of some kind to show how valued he is.

Really disappointed tonight, came here with a friend for dinner and our little girls, ordered food at 5.50pm and asked for the children's meals to be brought out with starters, The children's meals didn't arrive until 40 minutes later, which is a ridiculous amount of time to wait for starters and kids meals, we had to actually go and ask if our food was being brought out, When the meals did finally arrive they were cold which is very disappointing after waiting that amount of time, I asked for the mains to be sent straight away as me and my friend were in a rush, a waitress then asked the table 10 minutes later if we were ready for our mains to be started, When our main course did arrive the burrito bowl that I ordered was cold, not good when it's rice and chicken, and my friends smothered chicken was not smothered at all, The children then wanted to play after they had eaten, only to find out the play area had closed but we were not informed, so we had two very upset little girls, Toilets were disgusting, no locks working on the doors, both lights out making it so you had to go to the toilet in the dark, and no signs on the door due to them being scratched off making it difficult to identify which toilet was which, Not ideal at all Very disappointing and overall a bad experience, not happy with the service or the food at all.

From arrival to leave the staff and food (for the price) was amazing. Great to the team.

A few of us have a breakfast meeting there quite often and I sometimes have an evening meal with the family and have never been disappointed with the food, service or staff. Always pleasant and friendly.

Absolutely disgusting food. Staff rude. Needs a decent chef and a manager that knows what they are doing

Been 2 days in a row,it was horrendous, arrived just after 11 got told the play area and couldn't have anything to eat till 12, it's not acceptable for paying customers we won't be coming again.

Good play area good food good service good prices

Went for breakfast it was lovely. Thank you Emma for the breakfast and the servers Arabelle and Liv

Delicious Food and Awesome taste Nice Hospitality Good Place to visit!

Food good one day went a few. day's later and was abit of a let down.so it's hit and miss went again today24.th March. Food was burnt .not very good at all. 1 out of 5 ...

Great food at a good price. We eat at Oakenhurst farm regularly 😋

Excellent breakfast from chef Emma.

Staff went above and beyond on a recent 2 night stay at Premier Inn for a business course. Thank you so much for the welcoming atmosphere, friendly & helpful updates and professional service. Highly recommend A*

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.

Amazing choice of all you can eat breakfast and a great 2 kids for 1 adult deal

Food is overpriced and bland. The chicken burger was a microwaved one, and it was cold.

Had a great meal here thoroughly enjoyed our evening and our server Olivia was wonderful ..she was always on hand if we needed something but was not intrusive

Great place to go. When we can't be bothered to cook nip in here can't go wrong. Cheap and cheerful, staff are great willing to help. Seeya soon.

Screaming kids running around late evening, supervisors sat doing nothing whist duty tables and people still dining.

We had broken down and had to spend the night at the ajoining Premier Inn. Staff were absolutely great. Very friendly and professional. Very clean establishment and food Very tasty .

Great play area for the children. Food is average

We loved our visit! The party and play facilities were perfect for our family party. The party room decor was great with all the little design details. The staff went above and beyond to make sure the family were taken care of. Highly recommend for a party or special family event!

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

Through the week when it's less busy menue meals for a £5 great value

Exceptional birthday party good food giid drinks excellent service, staff extremely friendly can't fault the place today

Can't beat this place for value and quality. Staff are brilliant and very friendly

Excellent food and fantastic service, especially from the lovely manager, Jen wood. Will definitely come again, fantastic for kids birthday parties.

Called here for a late lunch . The pub was very quite . The food was amazing but the desert service bit slow but I would most definitely call again if in the area . We eat in Brewers farye a lot and this is in the top 5 we been to

Jen and Patricia make the venue extra special, excellent customer service and extremely helpful. Food is great and priced competitively... Top place for the family...

Top service as always from Trish and Jodie thank you ladies your the best will be back again soon all staff look after us thank you

I come here to meet friends bar service is a joke , the way bar staff speak to customers is a joke ,no bar staff for 15 minutes when you ask to be served you get a full on lecture 3.20pm 2 2 25 , consequently ,il not come here again

We stayed in Premier inn attatched to the pub we called in 9 30 pm Christmas Eve only to be told they were not serving as we handnt eaten there No signs up to inform people Very disapointed

Come here regularly for meals and Xmas dinner. Xmas meal was very poor, burnt parsnips, burnt pigs in blankets. Prices all gone up, my food very bland and tasteless.

Christmas menu great staff very friendly good value

This place is as good as it gets as a kiddy place we’ve tried them All

Nice for a quick meal, great for kids, good was hot and tasty.

Food was fantastic recommended steaks and burgers staff amazing Trisha, and Lucy are

Lucy the glass collector was the most efficient glass collector I've ever seen, was like being at Oktoberfest except the glasses were empty... Great bar service also! 10/10 would go again.

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

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

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

The staff at this place are absolutely fantastic! They will go out of their way to help you with any special requests, or needs that you have. I come here every week and they take grst care of me and my friends.

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

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

Patricia was lovely serving us! So kind and helpful! Food was lovely and the play centre is always a hit with the kids! Great!

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

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 opted for the Christmas menu pate and prawn cocktail starters then Christmas Dinner with all the trimmings finished of with billionaire porfita rolls the service was excellent and quality of the food matched the cooking of the food by the chefs dave and Morgan was of high quality hot and well presented will recommend the Christmas menu and venue to all my friends thanks 😊

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 👏

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

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

We come most weeks for breakfast and they never disappoint! With 5 children and 1 with endless allergies, the staff are always amazing. Always a friendly smile and very welcoming. The food is always great and something for everyone (even my picky eater children).

Absolutely loved choosing this restaurant the staff were absolutely fantastic funny attentive to us all couldn’t have asked for more.Trish and Fred just to name two of the wonder staff. Throughly enjoyed our stay and would go again

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

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.

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 👍

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.

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

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

Very happy to come again. Thank you

Just ok staff were very nice though

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

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

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

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.

Catch up with friends. Standard pub grub x
