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

Just had the most wonderful birthday meal with friends at Astley Bank...we dined in the shorrock room having taken drinks in the lounge listening to the excellent pianist... menus were delivered perused and we all ordered a great selection of starters,mains,and deserts.every single course was devoured with vigor..as always the presentation of all dishes was excellent.the quality of ingredients is exceptional,and for the price it's outstanding.service from all the staff was as always friendly, professional,top notch..(thank you Bill for looking after us ) once again thank you all at Astley Bank you never fail to give us a great dining experience....see you soon.x

A hidden gem that is for sure. Yes the rooms and parts of the hotel are maybe outdated but also full of character. I had a double room which was huge and comfortable. I had a 3 course meal in the restaurant for £25 as a resident; (£35 for non residents). I would quite happily have paid 3 or 4 times that as the food was as good as anything I have eaten anywhere. I would recommend the chicken and sausage pate as it is the best I have ever tasted. Service throughout my stay has been nothing short of excellent and a special shout out to Blake, who is a perfect host and ambassador for this fine establishment. Wish I lived nearer as I really was very impressed.
