Promenade Bistro in Blackpool

We booked for a 3 night stay at the Dutchman recommended by a friend - we were not disappointed, we were made to feel so welcome after walking through the door , the nightly entertainment (Fri/Sat/Sun) excellent and the breakfast was just unbelievable- so much choice and so nicely cooked and presented - only down side was the small room ( but when I booked I was told it was a ‘budget double ‘ ) but that was all that was available - will definitely be back- thank you to all the team at the hotel you should be proud of yourselves

Cannot recommend highly enough. They lady looking after the place was so helpful and friendly and couldn't do enough for guests.The room whilst small was very comfortable and modern and was perfect for a couple of nights.Breakfast was tasty and there was mountains of food to eat.Its definitely the first place I'll book next time I'm in Blackpool.

Visited here today 29th sept... enticed in by the offer of two courses for £7.95and the fact we were looking for something different to fish n chips..wasn’t disappointed.. choice of three meats gammon turkey n beef all very tasty.. excellent choice of veg n potato’s .. followed by a choice of chocolate cake n lemon meringue for dessert.. again both were delicious ... very pleasant young man served us so if u looking for something a little different try this place .

Me and my family decided to visit whilst in Blackpool again, We were not disappointed, my fussy son had the child's menu, and they tailored it to suit him, one very happy boy, my grandson had the Peri Peri chicken, very generous portions and he loved it, i had the ceasar salad, there was so much ,it was so nice, we also had the nachos to share, staff were so helpful, it was nice very clean, and brilliant service, and very reasonable prices, also my younger son's meal was free with my adult meal, including a drink and ice cream for him, definitely going back again to try more from there menu , highly recommended

I booked online for a carvery meal based on reviews. Unfortunately, I have to say we were very disappointed with the ambience, service and food. We walked in to find the staff didn't really seem willing to explain how the carvery worked (the food was all covered up on a serving bench, we didn't even know if they were actually having a carvery. I explained this was our first time and we didn't know how it all happened. We weren't shown to a table (there was only one other couple there), just told to pick one. We then went back to the bar as no food was showing and was told we needed to order and pay at the bar, which we did. Still no food showing so had no idea what was on offer. We stood by what we hoped was the food bench and another gentleman came up, took some covers and there were some very small deboned joints of meat. My son chose turkey, I had beef and gammon (it was called ham by the server). All I can say is the turkey was sliced in very small bits. It looked like it had been pre-chewed. My beef and gammon were ok, they actually sliced. We then helped ourselves to some very ordinary vegetables (carrots etc) and roast potatoes. The potatoes were soft, the vegetables were just right.I suspect the roast potatoes had been fried like chips rather than oven roasted. We had ordered two courses but left before we'd even finished the roast. The tables were clean but some training is needed on how to make customers feel welcome and hospitality skills for the servers. We paid £7.95 which is reasonable, but not given what we managed to eat. I am afraid if you want to remember that time you prepared a bad roast lunch (we've all cooked them) this is the place to visit. If you want something special, go elsewhere.

We walked past and saw a sign saying they do Sunday carvery. As there is literally not many places in Blackpool that do carvery we decided to give it a try. So glad we did as it was perfect! The meat was lovely and all the veg/ gravy was cooked perfect and tasted homemade! We couldn't fault it one bit. We also had a nice view of the prom. Will defenitly be back again and will try there other meals out to!

Went in for dinner and as it was between 5 and 6pm, there was an offer of Starter and Main course for £9.95. The food was excellent, both starter and main, both were chicken, and very generous portions. Lovely chips too. Highly recommend this place. If you can get a seat at the window, its just overlooking the Prom, so plenty to keep you amused before the food arrives.

We dined at the Bistro while staying at The Dutchman recently, and found the food, piping hot, very tasty and portion size very good, would definately eat here again

Walked along the front trying to find somewhere cheap that suited all tastes (3 adults and 3 kids). Found this cute little bistro cafe which had something for everyone. Lots of choice for a good price. Food came quickly, piping hot. Burger was huge I couldn’t finish it. Pie had lots of steak in it and the little ones loved their food, drink and ice cream. All in all a good find. 😊

I live in Blackpool and don’t always want to cook for myself or do the pub thing. I have eaten at the promenade bistro a number of times, mainly on Sunday when they do a superb carvery. The place is clean, the staff are very friendly and the food has always been first rate whilst feeling home cooked. When I have visited through the week the menu is reasonably priced, straightforward but with enough choice to want to try a variety of dishes. I will continue to visit on a regular basis.

Have eaten here many times, and have always been very pleased, the food is fresh, home cooked best tasting and lots to eat, very good value for money, the steak pie is to die for, the steak melts in the mouth, pastry is crisp, the gravy is homemade with the steak juices and bits of steak it's delicious, the veg lasagne is also best I've ever had, staff are friendly and will help make your experience comfortable and happy prices are cheap kids eat free with adult meal highly recommended

Really good food and if you spend over £7 on a adults main meal you get a children's meal free, great value

Stopped 3 nights in hotel and on our last night we had our evening meal in the Dutchman Hotel's Promenade Bistro, the staff were very polite, helpful. Food was reasonably priced and great value for money with Kids Eat Free. Tried to book the hotel again and visit the bistro but unfortunatly the hotel was fully booked :( Great Service! Would recommend to anyone!

We visited Blackpool for one night and stayed in a hotel on the seafront about a mile from this eatery. We initially wanted a Beefeater type pub to eat at but couldn't find anywhere close enough (walking distance) so we found this using tripadvisor and booked using the link available in the app. We had a pleasant walk to the Dutchman Hotel which this Bistro is a part of. First impressions were that it was more like a café. We'd only booked 45 minutes previous to arriving and were pleasantly surprised to find that our table had been reserved. We took our seats and were offered drinks almost immediately. Service was very quick. The menu has a decent range but not extensive. It has burgers, fish and chips, steak pie (highly recommend!), gammon among a few other things. The food was gorgeous... would definitely recommend this place if you're after somewhere cheap and cheerful that serves good food and has a bar. Kids get free ice cream with their meals.

We only pop in here for a drink on the way to south pier but been doing it for years.there is a great place to sit outside on a sunny day and my husband goes to get a drink and he says the staff are amazing will keep on coming back if your still there bravo xxx

Best food along the prom, catered for my needs and staff were polite. They take card payments and have a bar and pool room in the basement

me and my partner stopped in Blackpool for a week and we came here for our Sunday dinner.

Good food freshly cooked.steak pie to die for.gamon steak the size of a dinner plate. Prawn cocktail,garlic mushrooms for starters.what more could you want.staff very attentive and polite. Will be back.

We visited this restaurant during our half term break. Wasn't too busy on a Saturday evening. Great value for money restaurant on the sea front. Lovely food, generous portions and fab service. Early bird menu til 6 £10 for 2 courses was more than enough,

In the early evening of Saturday 22nd October 2016, myself, daughter and boyfriend were looking for a meal before the lights switch on. The usual suspects, Harry Ramsden, Pizza Hut, Nandos etc were all full with waiting lists. We carried on towards the South Pier when we saw The Dutchman, and I remember eating here with my daughters many years ago. "Let's see" I said, and we weren't disappointed. The sea view Bistro wasn't busy (I don't know why) and we sat at a table by the windows. It was all fresh and very clean. The table, cutlery and condiments rack were spotless and the menus unstained and as new. We had gammon, steak pie and bacon & cheese burger. All the meals were excellent. My gammon was large and nicely cooked, with chunky chips, salad garnish and coleslaw. The steak in the pie was very tasty and tender (i tried it). I didn't hear much about the burger, as the person eating it just got on with it. There is a bar, and settee seating area. All meals were reasonably priced, and the staff attentive. I complimented the lady clearing the tables, and she said a lot of people say the meals are quite big. No complaints from me !!

Good all round favourites, cooked to perfection and at a reasonable price.Portion sizes are good, couldn't manage to finish some nights. Excellent cheese toasties for lunch. Mmmmm!

The wife and I went into the promenade bistro for lunch, we were not staying at this Hotel but it is open to non residents.We were met by Wes the gent who was tidying up, I asked him if it was open as we were the only ones in there. yes sir you are the first ones in today was the cheerful reply. We sat down by the window, Wes came along and took order, the wife,s was gammon steak, mine sirloin (rare) plus tea. The two meals were out in no time, the wife look at hers and said I,m not going to be able to eat all of this, my steak was cooked just right, the chips in a small bucket!! again cooked to perfection crispy outside and fluffy inside. We not rushed at any time.For what we had the price for the meals was very reasonable. We go to Blackpool every year, we will make sure we visit the promenade again.

Had a lovely meal I would recommend the T/Bone is was delicious I'll be back Staff are very friendly Great location

Looked all over Blackpool for a decent homemade Sunday Roast but only found poor imitations and microwave meals until I stumbled across The Dutchman; very friendly staff and welcoming. The Sunday roast with all the trimmings hits the spot very fresh and lots of meat and veg to choose from or have it all if you have room. We chose to have a pudding and the chef made my husband custard at my request as nothing appeared to much trouble. Very reasonable price and nice view to the sea a situated on the promenade towards the South Pier. I would certainly dine here again and may even look into hotel prices on next visit as appears very clean and tidy.

I've never stayed at the hotel but the restaurant I must say is beautiful the meals are fresh and hot and the staff are lovely doesn't matter where we stay in Blackpool we always eat there, plenty of room to seat everyone and the deals are brilliant Sunday's is a carvery will all fresh veg and potatoes would highly recommend anyone to try this bistro I am a single parent and find it good value for money
