Well worth a visit!

Excellent food, excellent service and value for money. The menu is simple but with plenty of choice, portion sizes generous but not over facing and the food is good honest home cooked food by a chef who obviously knows what he is doing. It’s a long time since I’ve eaten at the Bay and I will be going back for more.

Aztetec hotel's spa is disgusting, it's cold

Both the pool and the saunas are cold and full of children going in and out of the saunas and leaving the door open, the jacuzzi is closed but they were letting the children in and out of it, as well as splashing water in the pool and yelling, and understand me, it's a spa, not a public pool.

Food Poisoning at 4 star hotel.

My partner and I stayed one night at this 4 star hotel last weekend. We both had dinner in the restaurant. About midnight my partner was suddenly feeling sick and was up all night throwing up. Not the weekend away we had planned. I was Ok although I think it was because I had a cooked started and she had a selection from the chefs cold table. I did tell the reception on checkout and they said they were sorry but that was it.

Totally unacceptable

Called in for a drink 5pm. A group of I think regulars at the bar,one in particular tall,short grey hair and tattoos on both forearms never stopped fffing and blinding to the disgust of us and an elderly couple. Male member of staff behind the bar must have heard him and did nothing to tell him from using that language It's obvious they are regulars and think they can do want they want. Who wants to visit a pub and listen to the lowlife talk,I don't for sure.It needs addressing.

Sunday lunch simply dreadful

Under new management so hope it will improve. It is awful at the moment so I should give it a month. Soggy veg, tasteless food or salty and slow in coming. Used to be so good.

Very disappointed, bad slow service

We had booked a table for a party of 10 to round off a weekend away celebrating friends 40th birthdays. Having walked for an hour to get to the pub we were very thirsty and ordered drinks which we had to wait 15 minutes for. We then ordered food with a couple of nibble plates to keep us going. An hour and a half after arriving we still didn't have our main courses. The pub did not appear that busy.

Christening what a mistake!

I had booked one of the rooms for my grandsons christening and the quality of the Buffett was very poor. For the money I had paid there was hardly enough food for my guests and the presentation was terrible. It was as if they had forgotten and it was very last minute. I always give a second chance but I will never come here again. It's a shame as the hotel is lovely but the standard of service you would expect here is just not good enough.

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 .

Absolutely lovely meal

We came across this pub on a drive the other day and decided to book in for lunch. Really cosy style pub with lovely log fires, different seating areas and a large car park. There are amazing views from the back of the pub. Extensive menu with something for everyone and the prices are decent also far too many pubs these days yet to make their menus posh and fancy but this one is great home cooked food and lots of choice.

Another good customer Lost

We have been regular customers at this pub over the years & always had good service and meals . . . until yesterday (Tuesday) lunchtime. You expect three things when you enter a restaurant: to be given a table, a menu & offered drinks. So we were given a table in full sight of the lady in charge and were then ignored for ten minutes, at which point we got up and left. As we left, the lady offered the excuse that there was a problem with the gas in the kitchen.

Never ever have a meal here!

We ordered prawn and smoked salmon cocktail, which at £18:95 seemed a little expensive. What it comprised of was a small piece of smoked salmon and about 8 baby shrimps. ( Prawns they were not and even calling them shrimps would be a stretch.) All on a bed of lettuce. The chips that came with the main course were half cooked, tasteless and difficult to swallow. The linguine had almost the equivalent of two sliced chilli peppers hidden it which completely took away the delicate flavour of the crab

Dreadful sleep, Food made us very ill.

The food - was just terrible, yes I am a vegetarian but un cooked peppers and soggy veg is just not my thing. To make things worse, several family members including myself got very very poorly from the evening buffet!! (we have informed the hotel and are awaiting a call back which has yet to materialise!) The room - we were awoken at 0800 on the sunday morning by a laundry delivery, lots of banging and shouting.
