What an unusual discovery? Seemed a strange destination but proved a wonderful find! A tempting and varied menu allowing plenty of healthy choices as well some calorific treats. All delicious and inexpensive. Staff were all friendly and attentive . Food was served hot and nicely presented in an unhurried environment. It’s more of a cafe than restaurant but relaxing place to meet friends and enjoy their home cooking.

Nice little Bistro with very good menu. I had the steak sandwich which was beautifully presented and promptly served but the steak was very gristly. This was very disappointing. This cafe s definitely worth a try despite its odd location on an industrial estate. I would go again but not order the steak sandwich!

Went this evening (14th jan) with my son to try out the evening Chinese banquet. Can honestly say it was up there with some of the nicest and tastiest food I’ve had. Prawns on sesame toast with seaweed, spare rib and one of the biggest spring rolls I’ve ever had. Then chicken and sweet corn soup with prawn crackers. 4 mains of , sweet and sour chicken, pork in black bean sauce, king prawn curry and crispy chilli beef with egg fried rice and soft noodles where all cooked to perfection. Without doubt the best value for money I’ve had. Congrats to all concerned and looking forward to the next special evening.

This place is almost too good to be true. The food is incredible, everything is homemade and presented beautifully. The staff are welcoming and the bistro has a lovely relaxed vibe. My self and my partner both had the ham croquettes for starter which were very tasty and a very generous portion. My partner had the fish and chips which he said was cooked perfectly. I had the fillet steak with Bernaise sauce. I can honestly say its the best quality steak I've had all year and the triple cooked chips were delicious. We finished with the cookie dough and rice pudding arrancini. 10/10 for taste, presentation and service! Thankyou for a lovely evening!

I organise a luncheon club and we came here for our christmas outing on the 13th December.We had to pre order which can be a little annoying.However once here we found the food delicious,the service friendly and efficient and the surroundings convivial.The price for a 3 course lunch was extremely competitive and we were delighted to be told that tea or coffee and a mince pie was included.Well done.We will definitely go there again.

Been to this establishment weekly for over two years Cannot fault the cleanliness, the lovely staff, and the food. If you choose a meal and you wish to change an ingredient, omit an item or change something nothing is too much trouble. Great choice of food and drinks and is licensed. Children and babies welcome. Lots of work people go in for sandwiches, soups, drinks and take away of which there is lots and lots of choice. Level access at the side. Parking is limited but there is plenty of on road parking just at the side of the Bistro. I have never failed to park easily. The staff are efficient, courteous and friendly. 10 out of 10 for all aspects of this Bistro. Well done all of you.

Today we had our annual Christmas meal with 24 members and their guide dogs. We chose the Christmas menu,which was great. The choices were excellent for all who attended. The cost £18.95 for a three course meal. Really good value. The starters were great, from prawn cocktail,garlic mushrooms,sweet potat and smoked bacon soup which was very tasty. There was plenty of vegetables and the staff kept coming out to see if we wanted more. The staff are really very kind and helpful. The mains came from roast turkey salmon which was delicious,also a veggi option. Desserts came,and teas and coffees. All in all a lovely afternoon with our branch members food great. Will definitely be returning.

I regularly call in to Simply Classic for my lunch and it’s always great food - from a sandwich to their very tasty chicken goujons the food is always very fresh. The staff are so friendly and welcoming but not in a forced, uncomfortable way - they just want you to feel valued and enjoy your food. Takeaway or eat in is available, both equally yummy!

Mis abuelos me encanta aquí, lo visitan regularmente a menudo sobre una base semanal (viernes de la mayoría, cuando el pescado y patatas fritas). A menudo es muy concurrido si vas en hora punta el almuerzo, sin embargo, realmente no importa ya que la comida es buena! Hay suficientes mesas para todo el mundo! También ofrecemos un servicio de comida para llevar, creo que la mayoría de los artículos en el menú están disponibles para llevar, sin embargo, si desea un bocadillo (no en un pastel de té) tienes que pedir pan. . Este error. Hicimos la última vez. Un lugar precioso, el pollo goujons también son uno de mis favoritos, pero las comidas son a menudo muy grande para que no termine todo.

De todos modos, a la comida. 8 visitamos hoy (reservado), con una gran variedad de platos que se consumen. Atienden también sirven para vegetarianos y sin gluten. Todo bien porciones tamaño y bien caliente. Pollo goujons eran enormes, usted será perdonado por ellos para peces. confunde Hablando de peces, 2 un montón de pescado y patatas fritas eran consumidos, lasaña con pan de ajo y pastel de carne con cerveza. Ahora que era espectacular, absolutamente lleno de carne. Uno de nuestro grupo siempre se pone el queso y cebolla tarta casera (aburrido, lo sé), pero él dice que es el mejor que he probado.

Went for lunch with a friend. First visit. Felt like a works canteen. Staff were lovely but didn't know one glass of wine from another and said so when ordering. They were actually the best thing about it though and that they left you alone whilst eating. Not sure if that's a positive or not as the food was average to say the least. Jacket potato with tuna mayo. Not much to go wrong except it was cold. My friend had an omelette which looked nice but was also Luke warm. Complaining would have spoilt a nice afternoon with a friend. They shut at 4pm and were cleaning around us at 3.30 which was uncomfortable. All in all not sure id go back in a hurry.

We had family visit in May and wondered where to go for lunch. There isn't much choice in the town centre of Burnley and we had heard of this place from friends. It took a bit of parking as it is in the town centre of Burnley but when we arrived we were greeted at the door and seated at a table in the 'Front Room'. What an amazing place, we were sat in the window, told about the menus and where to order. We were all surprised that we were able to get a table as the place was packed, the staff seemed to manage the tables extremely well especially as we turned up with little ones needing 2 high chairs.Its a bit of a walk to order food and remember everything but when you take into account the price and it being a bistro you can forgive that. The family were impressed with the menu and the specials looked incredible. We ordered a wide range of dishes, I tried a Tiger Prawn Hot Wok which was so so good.The kids were really well looked after with menus that you could colour in, even mini pencils, colouring books and a kids corner. My daughter could warm milk in the bottle warmer and food in the microwave if she wanted. Michelle behind the bar was extremely helpful and obviously a child lover.As for the food well, my husband could not get over the size of his burger, everything was so fresh and the presentation was superb. The kids meals were certainly presented differently with mini baskets for the chicken goujons, what was good to see were real homemenade chicken breast battered goujons and not processed cheap kids food.All in all I could not recommend this bisto highly enough, I noticed a negative review about the service and I could not praise the staff more, a reall different experience to most restaurants.Well done, we plan to come back next week.

We visited this awful place today. Having found a table and a high chair and place for a pram we wee settled with a menu and a children s menu. A waitress approached us and said that they needed our table for a bigger party of six. I pointed out that the table did not have a reserved sign on. The answer to that was that the party had just rung to book. Whatever happened to first come first served. Another table was suggested with no room for high chair etc, so we were, defectively, thrown out. I cannot comment on the quality of the food, as the service we received did not give us a chance to try it. I suggest that staff of this place take a visit to Mc Donald's just down the road where the staff are polit, friendly and helpful.

Starters were all amazing, my chicken Caesar salad was the best I have ever tasted, the chicken was warm and the croutons crispy. The sweets were all to die for. The service was really quick and efficient. Still so easy to park, this is the place to visit. I really can't praise it enough, a fabulous experience.

The prices are exceptionally good value for money considering the quality and quantity of food on offer. Our favourites are the stir fries and the fish pie. The desserts are scrumptious.

Called in for lunch, queued and then placed my order then the assistant told me they had sold out so had to lose my place and re- order. Ordered a jacket potato with tuna may and Beef and onion baguette with chips. When the jacket potato came it had been cooked but it was black underneath, there was a large dollop of tuna mayo on top, so I removed some so I could get stuck into the potato, the flesh was yellow, wet and non existent, absolutely the wrong kind of potato to use for a jacket potato priced a t £5.00. It was served on a large cold white plate with a spoonful of chopped up salad which contained chopped up tomato storks. It was pretty poor. The baguette was adequate, could have been warmer, but the chips were full of scraps and eyes, extremely poor quality. The waitress came over to take our plates away and asked us if everything was alright? When we explained about the jacket potato she just looked down her nose at us and took it away. Couldn't have given a dam. Will NOT be returning.

I went for lunch on Friday with my sister, i had heard fabulous reviews so i took her for a birthday lunch. We arrived at 2pm and we sat by the window, our food arrived and was fantastic. We decided to sample a delicious pudding, we had just started to eat this when one of the staff got out the hoover and started to clean....We still had our dessert to finish and our coffee. Shutters were being pulled and general putting away. It was only 2 55pm. We felt uncomfortable and hurried. Food beautiful and yummy, but rude to start cleaning when you still have paying customers.

Difficult as it is to rate eating establishments, what with people's varying tastes, this cafe bistro takes some beating. It caters for every need, from a coffee and delicious home made pastry, to a full three course business lunch. A menu board full of tempting starters, mains and puddings, sandwiches and daily specials awaits as you enter the place, and having had lots of it, can say, there's never been dissappointment for me or many friends I been there with. They serve breakfast and lunch on weekdays, and on Saturday evenings, a full blown restaurant menu. But it doesn't end there. You can book the venue for functions where they cater for your every need,and make your occasion very special. To recommend any particular dish may be out of order, so I'll tell you my personal favourite. It's a 'steak, red onion and mushroom' sandwich and chips (optional) with salad garnish, followed by their home made 'Sticky toffee pudding with a caramel sauce and ice cream.

Lunch times can be busy but there are always a few tables free. My two sons love the chicken tikka & cheese panini's, the jacket potatoes are huge & the stir fried noodles excellent. They also open on Saturday morning/afternoon for brekfast & lunch & Saturday evening, but you may need to ring to check if they have a party booking. I never knew this place existed until someone who works on Shuttleworth Mead mentioned it, really glad we tried it.

I have visited Simply Classic Bistro on many occasions for over 9 years. It is the best lunchtime venue for miles around. The menu is simple but extensive, eg. baked potatoes, hot & cold sandwiches, paninis, lasagne, quiche; extremely reasonably priced, and everything is fresh & cooked to order perfectly in a matter of minutes. The staff are friendly and obliging, for example, for anyone with a small appetite who cannot manage to finish all their sandwich, they will wrap the remainder in foil & put it in a paper bag for them to take home.(you certainly wouldn't want to leave it behind!) They take telephone & fax orders for local workplaces, reserve their tables & have all the food ready for the allotted time. In good weather like we have at present, you can sit outside. It is only open Monday -Friday, as it is situated on a business park. You can also purchase food to takeaway, I recently purchased a tuna melt & a steak, onion & mushroom bap, and as they were wrapped in foil, were still warm when I arrived at my friend's house over 30 mins later. This Bistro is brilliant & little known, unless you have worked in the Simonstone area. It opens early for workers' breakfasts also, I believe. It definitely deserves to be top of the list for a lunchtime treat!

Friendly local cafe with freshly cooked food. I had a large cooked breakfast with a pot of tea. Nicely done fried eggs, 2 sausages, black pudding, baked beans, three rashers of bacon with a good portion of mushroom. The icing on the cake was a portion of fried bread plus toast. I wish more places offered fried bread! Staff were very friendly and you can tell this is a liked local British “caff” as other patrons were welcomed whilst I was eating. Plastic tablecloths were clean and tidy, and my tea pot was topped up with hot water. Don’t expect the ritz, but do expect to be full when you leave. Worth a visit.

Having booked a table in another pub in the village and found it wanting, we headed over to this one. It appeared that this was where the locals go, as it was busy compared to the other. Great range of beers and ales, unlike the other place that had one. Loved the pie and peas and came away with a very cheap bar tab... Thank you.
