Best Restaurants for Groups in Rossendale

My sister and I went to Blacklock to celebrate early christmas. Sirloin was great and the sides were impeccable especially the chips. The cocktails were delicious too, I highly recommend Caribbean Whisper

Excellent good , can really taste the quality and the flavours , would definitely return to try the rest of the menu , tiramisu is worth the hype was stunning light and not too heavy perfect to finish off a meal

Incredible dinner at The Ivy Asia. Opted for the pre-theatre set menu for £40. Came with 4 courses each and we also chose two extras off the main menu. All of the food was amazing, generous portions and definitely worth the menu. The staff were all superb and so attentive, didn’t catch the main of our waitress but she was outstanding. The tables are quite close together and the music fairly loud so it was definitely noisy and hard to hear each other as we could hear the next tables conversations so bare that in mind. But the atmosphere was lovely otherwise. First time at The Ivy Asia and will definitely be returning.

Lunch for 2 on the seasonal £40 sharing menu in the Saturday before Christmas. I’d heard and read so many good things about Higher Ground but not managed to get here until now, all of which were entirely justified. The interior (my bag) is cool, stylish and well laid out, tables not too close to each other. A really friendly welcome when we walked in, genuine and warm. Superlative staff, informed, enthusiastic without being over attentive, and knowledgable. Wonderful food, a smashing selection of dishes from the full menu. Pea fritters, British crab, incrediblly tasty cured meat, golden beets, warm freshly baked bread & whipped butter, succulent leeks - all excellent. Then a sharing main of Dexter beef on a delicate but hearty mushroom spelt porridge and a bowl of mash homegrown on the HG farm in Cheshire. I’ll be attempting to recreate smoked butter at home but doubtless will fail to make it this delicious. For the quality of food, attention to detail, quality of service, this was £40 per head very well spent. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

Great pub, great location, food very good value, and service not to bad,just needs a little more attention to the little things. Eg cutlery and condiments on tables would go a long way. Making waiting on a little easier. But well done keep it going. Food excellent.
