Reviews in Blackburn

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?
