Reviews in Blackburn

What a great find! Lovely place to go for lunch, every meal I?e had has been lovely, seems a very popular cafe with lots of regulars. Don? be put off by the fact that the chef and majority of staff aren't English; the very English meals are great.

Yes it is very small but customers are welcome to wait in the pub across the road. Despite like being in someone else? living room the food is excellent.

Pizza Island is a great take-away. if you want good food AND service, then i think that you should definitely visit Pizza Island. It has the best Chicken starters, and the most WICKED chicken roll i have ever tasted. Pizza Island is the BEST!!!!!

Up market Ribble Valley Chinese. Good food, trendy modern surroundings, lots of helpful young staff. It can get noisy and you do need to book but it is well worth a visit. It's not cheap though!

BRILLIANT

a modern contemporary bar/brasserie friendly staff, varied menu freshly cooked and excellently presented for little more than the cost of your branded pub food. Will definately be a place to be seen on a weekend evening with the vibrant bar atmosphere and live music on sunday evenings.

I think that it is an excellent choice if you want a relaxed evening. The food is great what more can you ask for ?

A fantastic venue for family or romance, the staff really make the restaurant and the food is excellent. Once tried you will want to return!

I eat here all the time. The food is always fantastic (I especially recommend the Hawaiian style gammon). My partner and I usually get a main course plus a side dish and a couple of drinks for less than £15 for the two of us. The portions are nice and big with plenty to choose from. The staff are friendly and I always feel like I'm at home.

My visit to Checcos started off bad it was a Saturday night and extremely busy we had to wait in the bar for quite some time but once you get sat down at your table and the waiter/waitress comes to take your order that? when the fun starts the staff are very polite and friendly. As soon as he/she goes in the kitchen within seconds later a beautiful garlic bread comes out to wet your appetite, then if you order a starter it is ready in a reasonable amount of time, the amount of food is not to much not to little, just the right amount. shortly after you have eaten your asked for any drinks this is good because its nice to have a cold drink to wash your food down, the starters range from a simple salad to a full on fritto misto which is a selection of fish in a nice crispy batter. Now moving on to the main course which the most important meal of the evening if you have pizza it's a traditional Italian base with fresh toppings. Or if you choose to have pasta or a stake you?e not going to be disappointed the sauces are spectacular and the stakes are cooked exactly to your liking. The vegetables that come with the stakes are lovely and fresh you can have as much as you want. The only disappointment is the table cloths they are very old and tattered they have numerous cigarette burns in them. And really let the standard down. The prices are just over average I suppose just enough to pay for the Porsche parked out side the front door. Don? let my opinion put you off you have to try it for self.

Checco's is situated on the main road between Whalley and Great Hawrood. It is a well established restaurant with many regular diners. As you walk in the bar area is a little small and at busy times can become a little crowded. However, this helps create Checco's atmosphere. This is a small family run restaurant where the conversation and wine are just as important as the food. The starters offer the usual fare - pate, prawn cocktail as well as few surprises like deep fried brie or carpaccio of beef. The starter portions are just enough to wet your appetite and prepare you for the main course. The choice of main meals is what you'd expect from a trattoria - pizza, pasta, fish, steak and chicken. The fillet steak tornado rossini is a treat - tender fillet steak with a rich pate and red wine sauce. You wont need a dessert after this one! The specials board also offers a good selection and is updated regularly. Checco's caters for all groups - couples, families and parties but don't expect to book a table unless your party is over 10 people. This is a 1st come 1st served restaurant. On busy night there can be quite a wait so arrive ealy to get a table. My only disappointment is that the menu is not updated often enough - it would be nice to see something new once in a while. Overall, Checco's offers good food and wine in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Pity that it is so small and the lack of parking is not helpful, but apart from this the food is superb.

Superb modern British cuisine with a Northern twist. Excellent wine list but the mark-ups put too many bottles firmly in the realm of the expense account holder.

I have been to this restaurant on numerous occasions. i have found the meals exceptional and the service very good considering it is a training restaurant.

Excellent Indian food but make sure you get there early to avoid very long wait for your table. Don't fall for the 'would you like a drink or go to your table' - GO TO YOUR TABLE nad have a drink or you will be there hours even with a booking!

Wonderful food from a Michelin starred restaurant. Who says it's grim up north?
