Best Brunch Restaurants in Darwen

The food was outstanding. All meals were delicious and well presented. The staff are lovely and nothing is too much trouble for them. I have been a few times now and will definitely return. Loved the Christmas decorations too. Very festive

We came here for my mother in law’s 60th birthday meal and everything from start until finish was perfect! Food was flawless, service was excellent and they even brought out a cake with a candle on for her birthday! Pricing was good for the portion sizes and the ambiance, very good value for money. We will definitely go back here and will recommend to everyone coming to Manchester. Thank you Cibo

Outstanding food and value for money. The staff are incredible and were very accommodating to our Gluten-Free needs. So many GF options to explore for the future and the highlight was the GF Apple Pie for dessert!! The only slight draw back was how loud it was as we visited on a very busy Saturday night. But the overall experience was fantastic and we will be returning for sure!

Out of 10 stars I would rate this place 100*. One of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had. 🎉 In summary.. - amazing steak & sides - Blacklock red wine that perfectly complements steak - beautiful, warm venue - flawless service - extraordinary value We both had ribeyes perfectly cooked to medium & medium rare. Tender, juicy, tasty and near perfect seasoning. There's a smoky flavour that you rarely experience in the UK but is a signature for high-end US steakhouses. Either way another added dimension of great flavour. A kale/parmesan side dish provided a great contrast to the steak. The sweet potato another solid side. Our wine was the Blacklock Syrah red which is a wine clearly designed by God for steak. I'm not a expert but it had a perfect acidity to cut through the fattiness of the ribeye and refresh the palate with every sip. 🍷 Lovely dining atmosphere that would work whether you're with friends, family, business, date-night or dining alone. Even the table spacing was just right. Glassware on the table is also interesting and unique. It's all this attention to detail that just keeps adding to the experience. The service was flawless. Attentive, informed with a relaxed friendliness. As I'm sure many others have remarked the pricing & value of Blacklock is truly extraordinary. Normally you get great food, service, wine & venue but then pay through the nose for it. Not at Blacklock. Blacklock seems to harken back to an old-school community capitalism with a conscience. Let's create an amazing experience, treat our people well so they in turn treat our customers well. And then price it in a way that is comfortably sustainable for the enterprise while allowing as many in our community as possible to be part of the experience. Beautiful. 🙌 Bravo Blacklock. You told us you put the restaurant in a basement because you set out to become a 'destination restaurant.' From where we sat & ate you definitely achieved that.

Excellent food and service, the burgers were delicious and the menu has lots of unusual and interesting choices. There is a lovely lively atmosphere in the restaurant. We’ll definitely go back again.
