Poor food - rude manager

We ordered two meals which arrived very quickly but unfortunately the chips were cheap/ tasteless and there was a drizzle of gravy on the mince and onion pie meal (the pie was a small piece for a £12 meal along with cheap supermarket chips). We asked for a little more gravy and to our surprise found they had charged £1.50 for the extra. Upon bringing this to the attention of the lady on the till, the manager rudely interjected and stated that they would charge for it.

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

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 .

A disappointing night away from home.

When I arrived the reception staff were abrupt and unwelcoming. The room was adequate although the pillows were awful. For a room costing over £200 I would say it was barely worth a quarter of that. I will not be returning. Oh and the advertised bath products were tiny. Don’t try to order a la carte at breakfast as you can’t. What you can do is order the fixed options without various of the things!!!!

Good honest food

My wife and I went there for our evening meal (Tea, Dinner, supper, whatever you call it) and the food was superb. The steak and kidney pudding (locally made) was the best I've eaten and my wife had fish. Beautifully served and delicious. To cap it all, really nice friendly staff too.

What a shame ...

It's quite simple. If I order steak and ale pie in a beautiful old pub with a pint of Thwaitses, I expect my chips to be fresh out of a chip pan - not chips that have been cooked (probably in an oven) and kept warm in an oven until being served - lukewarm and a bit dry. Basically, if I want oven chips I can have them at home. So it's a BIG thumbs down from me. Shame.

Dont bother

Food is okish. I had the steak and asked for medium but it came out rare. The grey haired older woman that runs it is so rude and obnoxious. Love, you live in a little pub that no one cares about. If you were so important you would have retired 20 year ago but instead your on your feet everyday. You’re deluded !

Disappointing.

The single room was dreadful. No chair to sit on. No shelving in bathroom to put toiletries on and the shower smelt of cat pee. Not a pleasant room to be in . Certainly not four star. It smelt awful, staff put bleach down the shower drain. Smell came straight back. Better rooms in a Premier Inn. Breakfast let down by having to wait too long fir your breakfast to come when ordered.

Friendly local pub

Had a great afternoon here with friends , nice decor friendly locals and a few well behaved dogs. On our way to Blackburn just stopped off for one but ended up staying longer , very nice comfortable pub worth a visit.
