Eating in Blackburn
Blackburn has the usual run of places to eat at a budget level - McD, Pizza Express, Chiquito , Wetherspoon etc. The town centre also has a large number of takeaways and restaurants - many being curry houses and kebab shops. The quality of these changes quite rapidly so this is a quick list of a few good cheap to mid level places NOW (Sep 09:
Curry - Shahi Qila, just outside the town centre but worth the 5 minute walk.
Chinese - Chinese Buffet in a converted pub by the side of the Town Hall.
Italian - La Mama - out towards the Ice Rink.
Asian Cafe - Sahara on Darwen Street.
Tea and butties (sandwiches)/ pies / chips - any of the cafes in the Market Hall.
Coffee - Exchange Coffee House off Fleming Square.
Light meals / paninis etc - Rhubarb Cafe - in the Blackburn Visitor centre on Church Street and Cafe Beez on Church Street.
Upmarket is a bit harder and there isn't really much in the centre. Locally try:
Stanley House - Blackburn side of Mellor village 5 minutes drive away - boutique hotel and expensive retaurant. The food is good, the value is more questionable and the decor is over the top.
Millstone - centre of Mellor. Country pub and hotel. Comfortable place with good food, good portions and an OK quality/ value mix.
Clog and Billycock - Pleasington village on the outskirts of the town. Self consciously 'country pub' GastroPub from a group with 2 other similar ventures. Good food and reasonable quality / value mix.
The Market Hall (especially on the full market days - 3 days a week) is a good source for some excellent local food - Black Pudding, cheeses, breads, curries, fruit and veg. Some of the cafes do seriously good value meals as well although it probably isn't the venue for a romantic lunch for two.
