Sunday table of 4 (brunch)
Visit was 5 stars without a doubt! Amazing staff that are very attentive in giving all us great service, drinks were hot and came quickly after deciding on the menu it all looked and tasted gorgeous. Left us all with full a belly and had to take cake home. Highly recommended!
To the person on the previous comment I think your choice of place maybe a weathersoons suited to yourself as I find this place to be one of the best if not the best in darwen.

What a wonderful experience from our visit tonight, which coincided with our wedding anniversary. From start to finish, the evening was truly remarkable.

To begin with, the food was outstanding. I enjoyed the chili beef salad as my starter, and it was incredibly flavorful and beautifully presented. My husband opted for the black pudding bon bons, which he described as very delicious.

For our main courses, hubby chose the monkfish kebab served with coconut rice, and I had the harissa chicken kebab. Both dishes were cooked to perfection, with the flavors being vibrant and the presentations impeccable.

To conclude our meal, we indulged in a sharing dessert, which included crème brûlée, chocolate mousse, meringue, macarons, and chocolate-covered strawberries. We were so full that we took some of the dessert home!

Overall, it was an exquisite dining experience, and we look forward to returning in the future. Thank you for making our anniversary celebration so special!

A 'hidden in plain sight' gem. The tearoom is next door (but part of the same building) as Darwen Antiques and Gifts, or, if you're the same age as me, the old Bowling Green pub. We visited midweek lunch, and there were several people in, but there were plenty of free tables. Orders were taken and served quickly. Very nicely presented. Staff were polite. Good value too. Can't fault it!
Apparently, they also provide event catering services too.

Guys, where do I start.
First visit and it will be my last.

You venue is lovely, missing a toilet sign..

Your senior servers attitude is shocking, took us 40 min to get drinks, we tried to order food as was sharply told no! order drinks first.. bad attitude

Young server was lovely and happy to help.

Food was average at best.

And after all we experienced you had the cheek to take a deposit, the place was empty and now we know why.

Very poor guys..

Had a cajun burger, it was huge and very tasty. Came on a chopping board with chips, a small salad and some coleslaw.
It's a great space and although large it felt small, in the right way.
I'd go again 🙂

I come here regularly with my family. The staff are very friendly and easy to talk to and the food is definitely worth the price. I would recommend the mini afternoon tea (we usually share as there is so much!) for ~£7.95.

My little sister wanted a substitute for tea/coffee and they kindly agreed to give her chocolate milk - thanks a bunch!

The scones are also delicious and all the food we have got so far is fresh and tasty. There are a variety of cakes, sandwiches, meals, salads, soups, drinks, etc.

Note that you have to book beforehand.
