The New Great Star Chinese Restaurant in Blackburn with Darwen

The food was utterly inedible. Never had a problem but it was awful, my dog wouldn’t even eat it.

Staying on business, 2 younger members of staff were helpful but the woman who appeared to be in charge was extremely rude and put a palm towards me while I was talking to her about what I wanted to order. Won't be back.

Stopped by the Costa at Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital. The white hot chocolate was decent. The mozzarella and tomato panini was actually quite nice. Seating was comfortable and there were plenty of places to sit. Prices were on the expensive side, but that’s expected in a hospital setting. One downside: the woman who served me wasn’t very friendly, which took away from the experience a bit.

Cant beat a good old steak bake!

Called here for a drink after a walk with a friend visiting the area. My friend only wanted a glass of tap water and I ordered a cranberry juice. I was taken aback when the server said “That will be £4.00” and that she would bring the drinks out to the terrace for us. I started to wonder if there was a charge for tap water, but when the drinks arrived she confirmed quite abruptly that no, it was the cranberry juice that had cost £4.00. It arrived in a short tumbler, (not much bigger than a whiskey tumbler) with seven or so pieces of ice and was very definitely a cordial. It was so weak that the liquid only had the slightest pink hue. Felt absolutely ripped off - £4.00 for a small, very diluted cordial is an outrageous charge. Have previously called many times at this pub in the past, but will not return in future.
