My partner and I went for Sunday lunch yesterday. Agree with everything that other reviewers say about the food and the venue. Both are amazing. Although we enjoyed the food, we didn’t enjoy the overall dining experience as much. The volume of the house music was over-powering for those who wish to enjoy a gorgeous Sunday lunch in relative peace and quiet. It should be background – not foreground. And to add to the discomfort, all the tracks were of a disco and heavy beat genre which doesn’t contribute to what should be a relaxing, chilled-out experience. We were seated in what appears to be a conservatory extension with a large skylight which not only floods the room with light, but also sunshine. My partner was uncomfortably hot throughout our meal with the sun directly beating down on him . We will book for the restaurant area next time. Something needs to done about the small army of flies which constantly sought to share our food. The cutlery was difficult to grasp for those of us with dexterity issues. The handles were almost as thin as straws. Although all this sounds rather negative, it does require some attention, but don’t let it put you off going. The quality of the food is not to be missed. We will definitely be back, but will wait awhile in the hope and expectation that the owners read the reviews and make the necessary adjustments.

TfM is our favourite place to eat, hands down. Gorgeous cosy atmosphere and always a warm welcome. The menu is varied and there is something for everyone. Great and varied options for vegetarians too. Exceptional value for money and just an all round lovely eatery. Highly recommended, you won’t regret it.

Quattro’s – OrmskirkAnother fantastic meal at Tom’s Table. Great service and a relaxed atmosphere - Tom’s never fails to deliver.
Toms Table – ClitheroeThere is no doubt that Chef Dan Jolley and his team shine through with the standard and quality of food. We (my mum and me) shared 6 small plates tapas all with equal success. The team were really friendly and just need a bit more attention to detail of service - which I’m sure will come through time. The biggest factor that pulled the whole experience down significantly was the atmosphere : Walking into a wall of music akin to a disco at decibel levels that made your ears bleed was disconcerting. Thankfully they did turn the music down to a decent level. The main problem was constant stream of off street walk ins on a Darwen pub crawl getting leathered, accompanied with a Harry Potter film showing on a big screen TV next to the bar? It’s early days - week 3 of opening so I really hope you find your fit. Perhaps offer drinks only on the outside terrance or screen the dining area better. We had drinkers sat for a time next to us! Not a great dining experience at £95. The food however was truly brilliant.
CDJ Riverside Bar and Kitchen – DarwenAnother brilliant evening with delicious food. We’ve been wanting to take our friends who don’t live locally here for a long time and they loved it. Service was spot on and all dishes top notch.
