The best restaurants serving British food in Whitehall Blackburn with Darwen North West

Four of us dined yesterday in the shorrock room to celebrate our wedding anniversary,having married at Astley Bank in 2017.we arrived to be greeted by Bill who showed us to our table,drinks were ordered as we perused the exciting menu,drinks arrived and starters of Garlick & Parsley mushrooms on sourdough bread with soft poached egg,(tasted amazing ) chicken and black pudding terrine,& crispy duck rolls,were ordered.to be followed by main courses of Goosnargh chicken wrapped with prosciutto ham,roast chump of lamb..(was delicious)panco & sage pork fillet.our starters arrived beautifully presented and oh boy was it good all round..empty plates.after a short break we were served our main courses again the skills of the chefs were evident in the presentation and quality of the food,special mention goes to the lamb dish..it just melted in the mouth,and I’m told the pork dish was delicious,again clean plates were returned to the kitchen.Now for the first time ever we were all agreed although there was a delicious selection of deserts we couldn’t manage another morsel,we finished of with coffees all round.Now iv said it before and I’ll say it again the quality,taste,presentation,of the food at Astley Bank is second to none.the friendliness and professionalism of all those we encountered yesterday was greatly appreciated and this is the reason it’s our chosen venue.although the staff we’re dealing with a wedding in the main restaurant the service we received was exceptional,special thanks must go to Bill.we look forward to seeing you all again soon.thank you Barry.

Hotel was nice staff friendly and helpful, The room was ok if a little dated some of the bed lights were not working the tv reception was poor. Big clean double bed big bath and shower decent quality towels are provided. Breakfast not sure if they were short staffed no spare tables available to sit at had to ask for the only table to be set coffe available but has to order tea toast and cereal was help yourself But the table still wasn’t set. Two other couples who came in after us were served before us. It was just disjointed the breakfast when it can was hit and plenty full. Now then the tea issue I love my tea in the morning but twice I was told the milk wasn’t off I have never had tea with milk bits floating on the top that to me is unfressh milk but was told it’s because of the full fat milk. Now I’ve been a tea drinker since I was 4 and never had tea like it. But don’t let this put you off as I was a nice hotel if a lack of staff at times Thanks for a nice stay
