Went for lunch today with my cousin and it was lovely, as soon as you walk through the door it doesn't feel like your in Darwen! Absolutely love the decor and feel to the place. Staff were lovely and food was brill, we both had a Cajun chicken sandwich and we were gutted we didn't have enough time to sample the dessert menu as the cheesecake the staff walked past with as we walked out looked to die for! Will be back for sure �

Went for drinks and food yesterday. Was lovely. Staff r very helpful, drinks where great and the food was delicious. Was nice to sit out and have good food and drink.

We came for a birthday brunch for my daughter's 21st. The food was fabulous, the service was great and we were surprised with a birthday dessert, a card and a gift! That was a lovely touch. Thanks very much for contributing to a special day �xx

This place is amazing... staff great and friendly. Food is absolutely amazing I would definitely recommend this place 5 star.

Rum glorious Rum! Theres very few places that sell decent rum, just the usual suspects, but here they sell several varieties of rums, the usual, plus several varieties of Old J, Cloven Hoof etc... I was in heaven! I'll be back here again soon... I hear great things about the food too, so maybe ill book a table next time, better line my stomach before 'sampling' more rum!!

Just popped in for an excellent Steak & Mushroom sandwich on a gorgeous seeded bread with a side of sweet potato fries.

Food is bang on Jason

I booked a table for my mums birthday tonight and we really couldn’t have asked for better food and service. The set menu is fantastic value for money at £12.95’for 3 courses.

Thank you for also providing my mums and my dessert with a happy birthday message and the card for my mum. We had a wonderful evening and will definitely be coming back in near the future.
