The Postal Order in Blackburn with Darwen - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Cheap cheerful. Full of alcoholics dreadful service when busy. Could do with more staff, nothing worse than waiting ages to be served. Nothings changed from the review above 9 years ago. The beer is ok. The service shocking. Sadly when things go wrong some staff just can't apologise to a valid complaint or criticism. They only refuse to serve you. Very immature behaviour in my opinion. Maybe they should concentrate on their service rather than turning paying customers away.

I recently visited the postal order in Blackburn, and unfortunately, my experience was incredibly disappointing. From the moment we walked in, the staff members were rude and unprofessional. Instead of providing any sort of customer service, they swore at us and made us feel completely unwelcome. Their behavior was unacceptable and made what should have been a pleasant outing extremely uncomfortable. I won't be returning and would advise others to avoid this place if they expect to be treated with even a basic level of respect.

When in on Tuesday steak day great meal and a pint less then £7

Ordered some food and a drink through the app, I was charged twice, when I complained I was told that they would look into it. But I have heard nothing since and that's over 2 weeks ago. Which makes me very weary of using the app to order food and drink.

Firstly it’s a Wetherspoons so you know what to expect food wise, they’re pretty much all the same. The staff were friendly but didn’t seem overly keen on cleaning tables and taking empty glasses away. We sat at a table that someone had just left and there was quite a few glasses and bottles on the table. When our drinks arrived I asked for the table to be cleaned and I got a lovely smile and a no problem but the table didn’t get cleaned or the empty’s took away. When our food arrived it was given to us and the server started to walk away and I had to ask again for the empty’s to be taken away. The place itself is a bit run down but it’s cheap and cheerful so can’t complain too much.

Great food and service. Always a friendly atmosphere.

Great place to people watch a good laugh all the characters of blackburn in this wetherspoons

Good overall, place was a bit dirty, tables not wiped down etc… plus they put onions in my salad when I repeated 3 times ‘NO ONIONS ON MY SALAD PLEASE’. Good job I’m not allergic, I could’ve been killed

Worst Spoons I've been In Food was poor, to say the least over cooked, and only about 10 chips on the plate, no peas, and really dry Seemed like there was only a couple of people running round like headless chickens

Love the postal order, always a warm welcome, great staff and food, lovely environment.

It's £3.75 for a pint of Stella in here you know! But... It's full of folk who seem a little less fortunate in life in my opinion. I used the Postal Order for a meeting point before going elsewhere. This pub has been here for ages! I remember coming here when I first started drinking in the 90s.

Went for breakfast before some shopping in town. Service was mega fast! Food was tasty (though me being the greedy piggy I am would have preferred a larger portion!)

Food was good and service was great .. will go again soon

Good food children friendly great service and friendly staff could do with background music

Everything you’d expect with a Wetherspoons! Quick service, we visited around 8pm on a Sunday evening as a group of 10 and food/drinks arrived quickly

good prices interesting customers

Extremely basic, dry food. Don't bother.

English Pub with good prices and typical atmosphere. recommendable

Lovely place to have a drink or food catch up with family or friends plenty of tables also some outside nice friendly staff

Don't be put off by some of the people outside, the food here is actually some of the best 'Spoons food in the area as it's always cooked really well and is consistent. The staff are really friendly and helpful and service is normally pretty quick. A few of the punters can be "Interesting", but it's actually not bad overall.

I go to quite a few of the weatherspoons in different places but this has got to be the worst for the disabled toielts, absolutely disgusting to the point I struggled to get upstairs to use main ones. But to be expected in Blackburn. It put us off eating there so went somewhere else for food.

Big roomy and airy, enjoyed my visit here didn't eat but like all spoons plenty of ales to choose from, was dinner time so was really busy but was still served rapid

Callum slayed, such a bundle of energy, really personable and oozes positivity.

Typical wetherspoons what more can I say

First visit, table cleaned quickly. Good service and excellent pizza 👍🏼 oh and the Guinness wasn't half bad too.

Typical Wetherspoons pub.. Nothing special.

Typical spoons with decent food and great staff. Only thing with this place is that it could do with a complete freshen up, it's looking a bit tired.

Staff rude to band playing d day tunes. Staff forced them to leave.

Called into the postal order whilst waiting for my daughter to complete the Dday Commemorations service at Blackburn Cathedral, from the minute we walked in the customer service was shocking to say the least, id previously worked in a restaurant for 10 years so know the right way to great customers , as we stood waiting to be served a brass band came in that had been playing at the commemoration, they started playing old war songs the moral in the pub rose and people came together singing was a lovely sight then came a lady bolting from the back along with 3 minons one being a chief, and ranted at the band stating you have to leave , leave now no explanation as to why, this kind of behaviour I find disgusting, a Random act of kindness met with extremely rude mannered staff. Jeeze, sometimes our war hero's must think why did they bother. Think you need whole change of staff who know what manners are 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

The improvements in the establishment have improved remarkably in the past 4 years. Now an enjoyable place to spend an hour or two.

Amazing wings and chips. Nice pub atmosphere, friendly helpful service, I have a gluten allergy and they have a lot of options.

Full of running round screaming kids,I came out for a quiet Sunday afternoon pint.Ordered an American burger,The burger was bone dry,burnt and the seasoning of red onion ,ketchup,mustard didn't exist.

Just popped in for a few pints and a natter,.

Great food, quick service. Friendly staff

Good place to visit frendly staff.

Just had a quick pint and used the toilet

Nice Wetherspoons but preferred The Vic next door as it had music, football, racing and not much of a difference in beer prices.

Another great place good real ales and great choice

You get what you pay for. If you’re looking for cheap you’ll find it here

Very friendly staff. Took my daughter and grandson for breakfast. Always good value.

Clean and spacious pleasant staff I had the classic spoons fish and chips all I can say is I have had better would I return not sure

We stopped in for lunch. It had an excellent choice of real ales. Even though they have increased their prices it is still value for money. Although they would not win any Michelin stars the food is very nice and good value. I love their chicken wings. Crispy, juicy and delicious. The staff there are very nice and friendly although can be a bit stretched at times.

I was only there for a pint before a wedding 12pm didn't have food others had a breakfast look alright but it is what it is a wetherspoon's .

The staff are all really nice and friendly service from the phone app is very fast . Well done a nice place for a social drink

Only had a cup of tea and biscuit whilst my friend had a meal

The staff here are fast and efficient with a welcoming smile. First class

Called in for something to eat and I soon regretted it. (See photos). Ordered everything through the app, and it was easier than standing around at an overcrowded bar. Although it was Friday when I called in so excuses can be made for it being so busy that we couldn't get a table for a while. The "regulars" are in an interesting bunch, found myself knee deep in conversation in the ladies toilets with an elderly lady telling me all about her A&E recent visit. At my table I was almost set upon for looking at someone - I don't think that you're meant to look forwards in this weatherspoons it's frowned upon by the regulars. The service was fast despite the staff being rushed off their feet, unfortunately the food just wasn't edible.

Great pub. I haven't tried the food, but it looks decent. Cracking pint for £1.50 on occasion well worth a visit.

A Very well thought out seating plan which gives a variety of opportunities from social to quiet areas. Comfortable seats and surroundings with a variety of Framed passed photos when the building was the town main Post office. Weatherspoons have to be complemented for saving many historical buildings.

Very nice place to go. My mate and I went here for a beverage before a football match and breakfast before we left. All in all, the people and staff were friendly and sociable and the food was delicious. Will definitely come again!

Burns might special. Well I really haven't been more disappointed in a paid for meal in my life. Haggis & mash were so dry, the whole meal was bland and tasteless So called whiskey sauce just tasted like chicken gravy, also one small pot was massively overpriced at £1.75. Very poor show JD Weatherspoons

Would never go in this Tory monsters premises, end of

Usual JD pub with decent food, drinks, service, will visit again.

I have posted previously about jd I posted mainly cos of my first taste of haggis, neeps and tatties. If you like pepper in your food you may like haggis for me once is adequate! My better half's meal of chicken basket was as usual decent quality as we're the drinks and of course the price is unbeatable. As an aside there seems an growing tendancy for mothers and young children/babies?Pubs not An appropriate place for babies. Just saying.

Busy, struggled to find a table, spoke to staff who sorted out a table straight away. Thought the food would take ages, waited 15 mins. Great food, good portion size. Table cleared quickly. Friendly staff.

Despite it being very busy. the staff were great. The building is the best spoons I've been in. Very well lit. Great atmosphere and holds is busyness well.

Excellent place with friendly staff

Shady potions of beans or even food, lady on other tables expressed her views of also shady potions, manager kept stareing over at are table, bread no toast

Like most of the wetherspoons, nice food and drinks for a good price, nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Very spacious, great food and excellent staff. Would highly recommend to anyone 🤪

Excellent place with friendly staff

Excellent place with friendly staff

Great food prices exellant if your in for a chat its ok no music and very big place

Only called in for drinks, quite busy with good atmosphere.

They need to get used to a packed pub at 11am as they didn't have enough staff .

Poorly managed, nowhere near enough staff in for a matchday

Great value. Food decent for price. Nice surroundings and cosy . Good atmosphere.

Absolutely disgraceful service, waited over an hour for 4 beers, still waiting. Would imagine server's are too busy chatting in the back than fulfilling orders, money taken no service provided. Avoid at costs.

Felt sick when i got home,had a pint of guiness,

It's really sad to say but breakfast was stone cold, At the time I did not say anything as we were limited for time, The breakfast came out within 5 mins if you cooked it that fast it should have been hot, My only guess is that its all pre cooked and left in pans going cold, Please teach the cook how to keep food hot.

Food cold bacon like rubber. Burger like cardboard

Cheap drinks and staff who served us were friendly no issues there but the food was luke warm but we never said anything another thing is we noticed lots of loud drunk people and a few who looked like they were either poorly or generally rough around the edges would we go back ? Absolutely we would

Our pizzas were great! The staff were lovely; really helpful and polite, and it was conveniently situated for what we were doing that evening.

Its weatherspoons, other than the staff these places are all the same. Prices set at the same through out the pub chains, food is the same in every pub.

Some of the food is nice, service is a little slow but what can you expect in a busy establishment the atmosphere is good.

First time in this pub.Food was ok. Drinks good prices typical wetherspoons pub always try to find one wherever we are.

Yeh, owner of the chain is not one of your great people so I ordinarily avoid his outlets like the plague. No option on this occasion 😔 Some cheap beer, though, so not all bad.

Despite the area it was a pretty decent pub, service was good and plenty of tables available and food came out in good time and was what you expect. I would certainly go there again and better than some I have been too lately. Atmosphere was fine as well.

Bit of a grubby Wetherspoons needing some TLC and money spent on it. Usual good offers but that’s about it. Fairly surly unfriendly staff to add to the experience!!

The food was very good the staff could not anything else 4 u I would Defffi go again

Nice place, your usual pub food and drink. Not too bad on your wallet.

Very busy Spoons. It was Saturday at 1400 so not surprising.

Table still not clean after 40mins

Waited ages for my food to be given hot chips and a stone cold wrap. I HAD TO TAKE IT HOME TO GET IT WARMED UP AS THEY REFUSED TO DO IT I’m not being funny I paid for a hot meal and they couldn’t even do that the supervisor who looks like mrs trunchbull needs re training it’s not that difficult to reheat food so a customer is happy will not be returning ever again :)

Its a bit rowdy on match days but the beer's ok

This is just your typical wetherspoons

Pretty good, as same of the others.

Was a really nice meal, will go again

Stayed in Blackburn a few days and ate here most nights. Although the place itself leaves a lot to be desired, my husband said his mixed grill, on two occasions, was the best he’d ever had in a Wetherspoons. Even the jacket potato with tuna and cheese on a lunchtime was delicious. So congratulations to the chef!

Don't order table service, or you will be waiting ages, Ok otherwise.

Love the cocktails in here service always bang on food is well good

Quick service and good price for drinks

The best pub in Blackburn town centre, should be in the Good Beer Guide. Real ale on top form and great value at around £2.50 a pint. Great value food, the steak club and curry club all include a drink as do all the other clubs on different days. Very friendly and helpful staff. Now with an outdoor beer garden under the trees near the Cathedral. (Weather permitting)

Excellent roast chicken meal, hot tasty and plenty. Very reasonable prices. The building being an old Post office is really nice. Would recommend.

the food is delicious, quite large portions for low prices. the atmosphere is pretty good if you go to a place where people eat, not where they drink.

Large town centre wethers usually plenty of space, but no dogs policy as per all wethers so only 2 stars

Very good place to start off with a cheap rounded of drinks!

Needs a beer garden there's a few tables out side .

We meet up in the Postal order every week for coffee with friends. Every few weeks we have a meal wine etc. Today they missed a meal off but we got the free drink which we couldn't understand. It was probably a genuine mistake but the girl with the orange hair was quite rude and stroppy. We didn't make a fuss as we didn't want to spoil our afternoon but she needs to learn about good customer service. We have a very good relationship with Dave the manager as we have been going in here for many years and hopefully this was just an isolated incident

Surprised how good the food was plus free refills
