Victorian Tea Room in Blackburn with Darwen

Always great - especially the cakes! Lovely home made Gluten Free Range. Great way to round off the Great British Garden Bird Watch.

Excellent destination after a walk! Open every day except Xmas day. The location is special and looking forward to visiting Turton Tower when it reopens in Spring.

Great Bacon Barms at weekend and home made soup all week. Wonderful choice of cakes. Owner is very professional and helpful. Recommended.

Been a couple of times after walking round Wayoh. Lovely cuppa and great choice of cakes. Very friendly staff. Just what was needed. Best wishes and good luck on your new venture.

Called here today with my family and have to say the coffee and cake were absolutely delicious. The coffee was like a Spanish one and I will be back again very soon. The new people were really nice and accommodating. The new log Cabin I was so impressed with and a far cry from the dirty unfriendly place it was before. The sausage Muffin was lovely too.Try this place you won’t be disappointed. The Children lived the little Animals with the ice cream in. We will be back soon

Was closed when supposed to be open on web-site. After arriving on a very cold day, a non-existant welcome, very poor customer relations !!

We came today with our 3 children waited like 10mins the women didn't come near us .. So went the till an asked for few bits an was like how muvh the Nutella toast *As not on menus*

I was disappointed with tea room. Went in and waitress looked miserable and rushed off her feet. Told as we were sitting outside as we have a dog she wouldn't serve us until she had served others inside. But said this in quite a abrupt unfriendly tone..we just stood at till also to find out there was no card machine. Wasn't made to feel welcome. So needless to say we didn't know what to do next.. and went back outside and left to go to a local pub where we were made to feel welcome.

This was the second time we had visited the tea rooms on a familiar reservoir walk. Both times we've encountered a bad, snippy and sarcastic attitude by the lady that serves. The first time we stayed and ate our food and hoped it was a one off. We returned yesterday to be met with the same bad attitude, and upon being subject yet again to the short snippy remarks, we actually turned round and left without purchasing anything. We often walk the local good circulate route but will not be using the tea room again which is a shame as the food itself is great quality. There's a brilliant ice cream and coffee shop in Edgerton if you walk a bit farther on, that I can highly recommend.

I don't like leaving negative reviews, especially about small businesses but I feel like this needs to be said.

Visited today after cycling to the tower. Service was very quick. The lady was very lovely and polite. We ordered and sat outside, our food and drinks where brought out really quick and they where delicious. The spiced apple cake was one of the nicest cake ive tasted in years. Will definitely be visiting again when passing through.

Called in here for lunch. Place was full of unwashed pots, and waited 40 minutes to arrive. Staff very unfriendly and abrupt. Will not be going again

Why does no-one take notice - lovely scone - dreadful coffee - glum staff and no toilet paper in loo - sorry to have intruded - first and last visit - pity because the Tower was brilliant

Absolutely disgusted with the service we received today! Me & my partner both work in the service industry & have always treated customer with the upmost respect & gratitude regardless of how busy or short staffed. When my partner tried to pay for our food today she was met with such rudeness! The lady serving also snapped at my partener when trying to purchase a cake to take away. We will certainly be telling people to avoid!

Have always loved visiting the tea rooms over the years. However the past few times we have visited the staff at the tea rooms couldn't make you feel more unwelcome. Asking to order food is made out to be a chore. Such a shame to be made to feel uncomfortable in such a lovely place.

On our visit to cafe , it wasnt busy so one person serving, she was so miserable and rude , will not be having another visit to cafe ..

Call today and ordered 3 soups, they struggled to break out a smile.

Appalling service from ignorant staff. What a shame as the Tower is fab and deserves a better cafe than this

What a find. A higgledy-piggledy little place, quirkily decorated, with an intriguing back room for larger groups. The scones were very good indeed, and the smores cake (the first we’d ever encountered) was superb. A nice strong pot of tea too. We’ll definitely be back.

I use this cafe very regularly because the food is excellent and very reasonably priced. It is open through the winter with wholesome soups and the biggest slices of bread!! Try it!!

1st time to turton towers had a lovely day decided to end with visit to tea rooms what a shock am a 63 year old wome and my friend 70 we were disgusted at the state of the place and service was appauling the waitress/cook was rude and looked dirty waited 20/30 minutes befor she notice we were sat there ordered a sandwich she put it on a plate i seen her take out the dirty sink an rinsed quickly under that tap an put my sandwich on that i asked for a clean plate has id seen her take the dirty plate out of the sink she replyed the dish washer is not workin and i could take or leave it we left it and it really upset us and spoilt a whot would have a beauitfull weekend......will not be returning and i advise people to check they have clean washed plates or stay away i really think this place should be vistied by the local health dep .........

Arrived here to find most of the outside tables occupied, but no one sat inside. Lovely day, not overly busy. One woman working in there, who was actively ignoring customers who wanted serving. Don't think I've ever met anyone so rude in the service industry. She sneered at anyone who asked a question. It's been mentioned in other reviews, but why do Turton Tower allow this?! Would never go back. One man asked how much the ice cream was. She looked at him like he'd just gone to the toilet on a table and spat "all different prices". We were after two ice creams. We were ignored and ignored and left, along with at least one other customer. He couldn't believe his eyes either! Oh and the dirty plates that were visible had a lot of food left on them. Hardly a great enforcement. Avoid, avoid, avoid. More honest reviews of the cafe on the Turton Tower Trip Advisor page.

Ancient building full of history. Great to eat out doors on the lawns when dry and has a pleasant interior. Prices are low and food very good. The soups, breakfasts (all day) and cakes especially

Actually trying to avoid walking around here at the moment as I just cannot resist the fresh baked hot scones with cream & jam. The English breakfast is also very good, al freshly cooked and not all greasy.

A lovely alternative to the faceless chains. Freshly prepared food, friendly service, reasonable prices. An ideal stopping point on a walk in the area. Scones are particularly good!

Lovely stately building and countryside but close to Bromley Cross. Excellent home made food. I would recommend the all day breakfasts or soups

Me and my Dad have come up to this little cafe, and been often faced with disappointment when we realised its been closed! Today was our first time paying a real visit.

I do enjoy a good cooked breakfast and this place provides my new favourite place to eat it.

Cafe small but pleasant decorated with old world charm and original cooking range feature. Food a little expensive but all freshly made and tasty. Home made soup and cakes enjoyable. To

Perfect for breakfast ,lunch,afternoon tea,or early tea until 5pm.{Other evening meals by arrangement}

I wasn't to impressed .called in as passing .I was surprised no scones never mind a cream tea.!sat out side but looked a bit overgrown.wouldnt go again.

What a find! this little cafe serves a very good range of food, freshly made and nicely served. The tomato and chorizo soup was so tasty, served with warm crusty bread and butter. The trio of humous was beautifully presented, 3 pots of different flavours (with tiny spoons), served with warm pitta bread and a lovely dressed salad. The tea was served in a multi coloured teapot and cups and saucers. So reasonably priced, worth a visit even if you are just passing Turton Tower, popular with local dog walkers too, quaint interior, a small marquee at the entrance for extra undercover seating and picnic benches on the grass outside. Delightful!

First time here. Wasn't sure what to expect but very enjoyable.

This is a lovely little tea room, full of character and good wholesome food. Brilliant if you happen to have foreign visitors. They would love it.

A cosy little cafe in the grounds of Turton Tower. Excellent variety of cooked meals, sandwiches and extensive choice of cakes. Very reasonably priced. Service fantastic, even when busy.

Me and my partner visit this lovely little place regularly. All the cakes are fresh and homemade and they are absolutely delicious! They have a great range of sandwiches and light bites, so all tastes are catered for!

Very quaint cosy little cafe, which served some substantial food, breakfast and lunch. Dog friendly. Unexpectedly, it was open. Some of the menu was not available but on the whole a lovely experience. We didn't actually have cake because enroute to pub. But they looked absolute delicious and home made. Well worth a visit.

If you are around the Lancashire hills near bolton, blackburn area do make for the Turton tower gardens where the tea rooms offer lovely home made lunches, sandwiches and delicious cakes all made on the premises.
