Simply the best pub in Blackburn

As the title suggests, this is the best pub in the area. Great ale, great staff, great food and great atmosphere. Always something going on. Keep up the good work guys..Just stopped off for one but ended up staying longer , very nice comfortable pub worth a visit.

Not good at all.

Rooms quite basic, a bit tired looking and small, no fridge. Bar and breakfast service not great, slow, got things wrong, we had to cancel evening drink order after waiting over 20 mins or would have been late for restaurant. One member of staff put cutlery for breakfast on outside table where we were eating by holding the ‘eating’ end of spoons, knives etc. Considering it’s AA rating and price it was disappointing

Impeccable!

The staff were so polite and attentive throughout our time and the food was absolutely impeccable! I cannot emphasis enough how flavoursome and high quality the food itself was, portion sizes were perfect and the presentation was wonderful. We both agreed this place absolutely has exceeded what we’re already quite high expectations and we will definitely be visiting again!

Disgusting service and food contamination

We decided to visit the The Royal after a family walk and ordered 3 meals. We ordered the firecracker chicken as part of our meals. In the salad was a large feather beneath the salad. When we approached the staff the bar lady was kind and polite and took the plate away. What happened next was disgusting. The manger rudely came over and stated that this was not his fault and he wouldn't be offering a replacement

An Unmitigated Disaster

The Wedding ceremony: The room for the ceremony was not set up as requested by wedding couple - this was for personal reasons suffice to say they were important. The wedding partys flowers were lost - I was asked by a member of the staff if I knew where they were! And I was a guest! At the time of signing the register, it had gone missing, dispite being provided the day before ceremony. Before it even began, the bride (quite understandably) was in tears due to ineptitude of staff.

Don't bother going here.

Went on sunday and arrived at about 12:15. decided to have the sunday lunch which was advertised as roast beef or another roast meat, we were told that only beef was available and when it arrived it looked and tasted like very cheap meat, the mashed potatoes served with it were cold. the pudding was ok but the custrd served with this was also cold. will not be going again

Awful stay at the Cottons hotel

Dirty beds, ants and loud rooms. Over booked rooms (and keys to said rooms given out to multiple sets of guests!). Other guests starting fights and stealing. Items missing from food order at breakfast. This is NOT a four star hotel. I wouldn't stay again even if it were given to me for free. Sorry.

Overpriced and disappointing. Will not return

The room was tired. cracked lamp shades, peeling paint and a gap around the door I could literally fit my hand down. I’m fairly certain it doesn’t comply with fire regulations. Breakfast was served basically in the lobby. on arrival we waited to try even get in the car park, there was only 1 member of staff and after walking to reception then walking back to the car to gain entry we went to our room.

Awful experience

From 2hour waits for food to rude waiting in staff it became laughable, one evening I saw two people come back into the hotel and sit down and eat a Mac Donald’s and KFC both on different tables in a 4star rated hotel. I Suspect either the staff are terrified of the chef or the staff don’t communicate with the chef. After all is said and done despite the lovely decor I would avoid this place if you are looking for a 4star stay it’s more like faulty towers than a four star hotel and such a shame

Well below par.

Disappointing. My favourite place to go in Blackburn and today was not very nicè the chicken Kiev was dry and the garlic tasted bitter there was th salt already on the chips then the gammon was placed on the chips witch is char grilled so the gammon went really salty and the chips went black . Plus was quite cold. by the time I got table checked it was too late and seemed pointless complaining .

Really poor

Lift broken x nobody advised us so mother in law stuck in her room. Receptionist rude x abrupt. Food for a buffet was a disgrace, pretty much inedible. Have emailed General Manager 3 times along with the CEO of Thwaites x not even the courtesy of a reply from either of them, typical of Richard Bailey. If I could would give no stars but can only leave review if you click at least 1.

Excellent experience

Good, fresh food well cooked, great value for money. Attentive service but not fussy and very well kept beer! As I found out later that they are award winners. The log fire was lovely and cosy and certainly contributed to the warm friendly pub. We will definitely be back, and not just for our 10% discount.

Remortgaged my house for a G&T...

I came on a pub crawl night out with friends and I ordered a gin and tonic at the bar. I was asked for £8.30 and when I questioned why it was so expensive (it was a single!)- I was told because it was a Tanqueray?! I showed them the gin menu where it said £6.50 and the barmaid wasn't having any of it. I reluctantly paid and left. £8.30 for a G&T? Won't be back anytime soon...

This place is a joke!

Seriously if you want a shocking evening meal and a rude customer service then this is the place for you. A colleague of mine was waiting 2 hours for his meal and when confronted the manager he was told they was out of steak and is there nothing else he likes off the menu. Seriously for a four star hotel it's a joke the rooms are OK but seriously go somewhere else as this is far from a four star hotel I would class it as a 2 star and thats being generous.
