The best restaurants in Coal Clough with Deerplay Burnley North West

I did quite a lengthy (But very scenic) Motorcycle ride with 2 friends. One of them was local to this area. For me, it was new. What a gem this place turned out to be. I shall be returning with another friend in the very near future.

Food was fresh and cooked well , service was good a little wait in clearing the 1st course . Pleasant atmosphere.

Take-away was very disappointing. We found the onion bhajis very dry and ended up chopping up our own onions and using our own mango chutney. For some reason the onions that came with the dips were not plain but mixed in the same weak chutney sauce as the second dip. No sign of chutney pieces but I think that is not unusual nowadays. The king prawns in the dupiaza were rubbery and the mushroom pilau rice was not of the dry consistency we had expected, but wet in a hot tasting curry sauce. The Shimi kebab starter was the only saving grace. Real shame as last time we ate in the restaurant and the meal was lovely.

After one of the saddest mornings ever, the family gathered at the New Waggoners for lunch, there were 11 of us. The food and service, as usual, was exceptional, but what happened next was unexpected and totally over and above what you might expect of any establishment. My daughter asked for the bill, which we were given, but then she was told that the Waggoners would not accept payment, of a not unsubstantial amount, from us and, instead, asked that we donate the bill amount to a charity of our choice. Therefore, a very big thank you to all at the Waggoners, your food is wonderful and your generosity more than matches it.

Went last Sunday. 2 of our party shared half crispy duck, plenty of duck but short on pancakes which they replenished when we asked. 3 of the party had the all you can eat. For those that haven’t been before, you can order a soup to start (and then as many to follow but make sure you eat it), you can then move onto the starters, there are about 12 to choose from. You can choose two per person which is then cooked and delivered t your table. Once you have done you can order again, and again if you wish as long as you eat it and don’t waste it. Then you can move to the mains. There are about 12 to choose from. Again you can have as many as you wish. The starters are small, but they are made fresh and are piping hot. You can order as many as you like and it adds to the experience. Yes the decor needs updating but the food makes up for it. I miss the huge fish tanks they had pre covid, my kids loved looking at the gigantic Koi.
