Didn't have food, but someone in my group did, said it was really tasty, couple of the staff, were fairly slow, didn't know if they were new. Or just couldn't be bothered. But overall it is what it is, cheap and fairly cheerful

Rated food based on value. Quality is quite average but for the price I can't complain at all. Service and staff were excellent and very friendly even though we ordered food at 10 pm. Last are here 18 months ago and the entire experience was terrible. Whatever they have done to improve is great, I was surprised how much better it is now. Would have preferred to sit in the main table areas, we were a group, but these were closed off and we had to sit in the main bar which was a bit noisy and the tables were small. Overall a good experience.

Horribly dated and in much need of renovation. The staff are friendly and the beer is perfectly adequate though. Plus it's cheap. Just needs that TLC.

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)

Pretty standard for a wetherspoons. Being town centre attracts a few undesirables, who struggle to detach from the sticky tables, menus and carpets.

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.

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.

We were on a Group Tour round the Radio Lancashire Studios so just had to walk across the road to have a meal at Wetherspoon. We decided to try the Ramen Noodle Bowl and will definitely have it again. It is served in quite a large bowl with various vegetables mixed in with the noodles and served in a light broth. We decided to pay £1.50 extra to have a sliced chicken breast served in it and 95p for a poached egg. It was very filling so we didn't need much tea!

Sadly not up to usual weatherspoons ,we decoded to try here on a day out but won't be coming again ,firstly don't know why you see so many staff in any ones you go in but nobody ever seems to wipe tables down .we ordered 2 jugs of cocktails when they finally arrived no straws or mixed up went to bar asking for straws to be told we have none but bring your drinks back and we will stir them up ,food we were offered different orders twice before ours came out ,when we did get our order it really wasn't nice ordered nachos and the guacamole sorry but really just tasted like mushy peas,chips and cheese chips were cold and under cooked chicken bites came out about 5 mins later then to top it off had to go bar to ask for the sausage that was missing from the mixed grill we always choose weatherspoons when we go anywhere as we know what to expect so not just being picky

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.

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 🤷♀️🤷♀️

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.

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.

Actually ordered a takeaway from here last night for the first time. Thought the prices were a little high but as it's a restaurant first I expected that. Ordered 2 currys, 2 starters, nan bread and poppadoms. I never eat a full portion of curry so usually throw it away as I don't like left overs, however this was so good I ate the rest this evening. So tasty probably the best curry I've had in a very long time and the first time I have ever finished it the day after. Will be ordering again for sure.

The venue is quite visually pleasant inside. The service was average .The food was very nice but portions a little small, especially the deserts which were a touch expensive at £8. Not much else to report at this venue .The main question is would we have a return visit ? The answer is yes , its worthy of it

This is not a place for vegetarians. We were offered a vegetarian roast option…though they don’t have any meat alternatives, our waitress said this would be comprised of: ‘extra vegetables, a Yorkshire pudding and cauliflower cheese’. When it arrived, the dishes each had 2 small pieces of roast potato, two pieces of carrot and a slice of beet and a small serving of broccoli (along with the cauliflower and Yorkshire pudding). When the bill arrived, we had been charged £4 each for cauliflower cheese on top of £19.50 charge for the few vegetables and Yorkshire pudding. Another person on our table who had the roast chicken dinner paid only £18.50. When we identified the error on the bill, our waitress unfortunately became argumentative. I wouldn’t recommend this pub.

After a lovely walk in the area my partner & I enjoyed a delicious 3 course lunch today (21/11/24) off their 'weekday 12 til 3 Market Menu', which is exceptional value! Truly great food & service & a superb view across the Wayoh reservoir & the hills of Turton. (Aug 2023)3 of us had a late lunch today & the friendly, relaxed but attentive service by Jaz (Jasmine?) combined with the really tasty & well-presented food, combined with the great views of the snowy hills & of the Wayoh reservoir, resulted in a really enjoyable couple of hours in this gem of a country inn. 2 of us back again today (Sun Oct 8th 2023 ) - lovely lunch (unlimited gravy as advertised) - ace service - ace views (ace weather helped!). A great village eatery-pub!
