Reviews in Blackburn

Waste of money!!!this place is the worst place I have been to in a long time, I go out to eat regularly and this has been a total let down! the service is non existent,Spice Lounge should serve goulash.. may taste better than the foul food being dished out. You wasted my evening, Award winning.. whatever!

Recently booked a table on a night when they were having a casino night (the waitress gave us the option to join this evening and details of prices et, however we declined). We were the only two in the restaurant. On a positive note the hotel is clean and welcoming and our wine was brought into the bar where we were sitting prior to the table being ready. The dining room had little atmosphere and no music which might have helped but they had linen napkins which was nice. Bread roll somewhat stale, first course of black pudding very nice, my friend's whitebait came without lemon but was brought on request. Mains - well, veg arrived without any serving implements, trio of meats - beef was good but other two meats very dry and over cooked with lots of peppercorn sauce. Potato a little al dente. The wine was good and it was £61 for two without dessert or coffee. Our complaints were noted but that is all. I couldn't recommend this as a way to spend a pleasant evening I am afraid.

had a terrible meal tonight very disappointed

Found the oyster and otter on sugar vine and we read the reviews and went last night. We were NOT disappointed. The pub is very well appointed. The service and welcome were great. The food was fantastic- my husband had the fishcakes followed by fish and chips. I had the crab and cider bisque(soup of the day) followed by the Malaysian Seafood Curry. All were really lovely and we will be back there very soon and would highly recommend to anyone

Me and my partner stayed her for 1 night and had a lovely time. Due to checking in later than expected we were worried we wouldn't be able to have a meal in the restaurant. However, they still made sure we got our meal with exactly what we wanted. The staff our welcoming, polite and very helpful. Our room was beautiful, comfortable and came with free crisps and biscuits. The bathroom was also very modern. I would recommend anyone to stay here I will definitely come back.

The service was good, but the food was disappointing. With access to such great Lancashire meat, dairy and vegetable produce on their doorstep, it is a shame that there wasn't much evidence of it on their menu.

Good food,good atmosphere and great hospitality.my wife and i have been a few times and enjoyed it everytime.we would highly recommend it to anyone who likes tasty Caribbean food

fantastic pub and very helpful staff. we had a big family gathering here and the staff could not do enough to help and make our visit special. thanks to them all.

Excellent food and service.good value for money.

Stayed overnight after a wedding in another local hotel Very comfortable, provided everything we needed.and made us most welcome.

i thought it was posh in side and we had the family some yummy chips.it was nice for me and the little ones

Me and my boyfriend go here all the time, we absolutely love it! We are forever ordering re antipasto and pate, the antipasto is a n of Italian meats which comes on a big plate with fresh bread an a bowl of olives, the pate Is freshly made and full of flavour! We always share our starters. But before the starters arrived we had a garlic bread half cheese half tomato, which was tasty. For main course I had Penne Arrabiata I always ask for extra chilli, and this dish is my favourite and I've had it in other restaurants but this is definitely the best one that I've had! My boyfriend had the Fettucini al Fredo which is a tomato based dish with a touch of cream with ham, I tried a bit even thought I'm not a fan of cream and i surprisingly liked it, it's one of his favourites too. We always save room for dessert for me it's the chocolate fudge cake served hot with vanilla ice-cream, and for Jamie the chocolate profiteroles with ice cream, the profiteroles are filled with cream and then coated in a sort of chocolate moose, words to describe are delicious and heaven. Overall the service was fantastic and we were never left with our mouths dry, the waiters and waitresses were so friendly, the owners daughter who is only 18 is full of confidence and easy to have a talk with! I love this place with it's great atmosphere, on a Saturday night you will have to wait but you know that if you have to wait that it's a good restaurant and worth the wait! Brilliant restaurant.

4 of us had a meal on the 23/july 2011, and found it excellent and very good value. Service was ever so friendly. Would recommend and always return.

Stayed here again on Sunday for the gourmet night. Amazing Food, Amazing Service, Amazing Place. Nigel & Craig have this place spot on.

What a fantastic place to eat. The flavour of the food is amazing and there is so much choice on the menu. The owners and staff are so friendly and make you feel right at home. You MUST try this restaurant - you will not be disappointed.

Love it! great fish and chips on the high chairs. Contemporary, great food and boozer to boot.

Had lunch at the Oyster and Otter with my Hubby and have to say we were very impressed! Staff were so friendly and attentive without intruding on our meal. The food was absolutely to die for and while the prices are perhaps above the average pub, the portion sizes were huge, and , this is NOT your average pub! We are already looking forward to returning to try other things off the menu. Infact, I texted me friend as we were leaving to tell her I had found us a great new place for a meal out!

Just had the best meal for a long time at the Oyster&Otter. My wife & I have just been to the above and can not praise this place enough. First class in food and staff with very polite owners a young couple. That is going to go far with this team, and Chef we will definitely be going again,& again & again well worth a drive from St Annes. perfect decor and seating with log fire for the cold winter days & nights
