We had Sunday lunch of roast beef for 4 people. Lovely colourful decor and welcoming bar staff. Older member of the group struggled to climb onto the high chairs in the bar seating area. Soon shown to table and available options outlined to us, everything on the menu was available despite being very busy. Person taking order was distracted and did not pay full attention. Returned and set additional cutlery on one end of the table so we needed to pass around and place ourselves which we a bit were surprised at. Two out of four enjoyed our roast beef, two found it chewy. Good selection of vegetable accompaniments, lovely crisp roast potatoes and generous sized Yorkshire pud. Cauliflower cheese was so firm we had difficulty portioning it out, the sauce was very tasty. Would revisit and try something else on the menu next time.

We arrived on time but our table wasn't available, a good sign that they don't rush people out. They ushered us to a bar table to order drinks and wait. Very polite and helpful staff. 15 mins and we were ushered to our dining table. The food is cooked fresh from being ordered so 1/2 hours was a reasonable wait. Good size portions and well presented delicious food, veg not over-cooked. We had a noisy baby with us and the staff were fine about that and warmed the baby food for us. My second visit and will go again as it is very local.
The Shepherds Rest Inn – TodmordenFood very good, table service excellent in a busy pub. Only flaw, we were delayed trying to pay waiting for bar staff to conclude their long conversation with another pair of customers. This resulted in a 4/5 for service which otherwise would have been a perfect 5.

Bread and Butter – PrestonI went to CDJ restaurant on Friday 27th September & Sunday 29th September. The staff were very friendly & welcoming & the service & food were excellent on both occasions.

The Shepherds Rest Inn – TodmordenIt was recommended by one of my customers, what a great addition to the Darwen/Blackburn area to have such a fantastic establisment locally, surely can only become a destination eatery for more people, who enjoy first class cuisine. Great food, great service, and such great thought gone into the whole place. Good luck for the future.
