Poor food and service so very Thwaites

We booked a meal on Sunday 14th May for a friends birthday. We all ordered our meals and then ordered drinks. The men ordered blonde beer only to be told it was off and they would have to wait. I ordered a a 5 been chilli. When it came it was cold and dry I sent it back only to receive the same meal back with some greenery on top.

The food was ghastly

I'm moved to write a review for the first time because I can't believe that someone can spend so much effort on making a restaurant nice but then serve such poor food. I had venison pie with triple cooked chips. The pastry was hard to cut and the filing didn't taste of game nor anything other than the heavy salty sauce it was in. The chips were over cooked, stale and completely tasteless. The only part of the meal that had any flavour was the veg which consisted of a few carrots.

Disappointing once again

Alarm bells should have rung large sign outside advertising for chefs, service could not fault, starters pork pie and a garlic bread hot ok. Main courses not so good chips more like roast potatoes, cheese and onion pie Luke warm in middle very uninviting. ploughmans appeared to have been around a while ham dried up. Ham and eggs nothing special very salty.

POOR QUALITY SERVICE

The service was very poor and I was not impressed with the quality. Waiting staff were lounging around and watched me eat which made me feel very uncomfortable. Felt like I was rushed out of the restaurant and given the bill without me even asking for it! WOULD NOT RETURN

Very disappointed. Not the hotel it used to be.

Most of staff were indifferent at best and miserable at worst. Had to chase tidying up and preparation of room every day. Public area toilets were in a poor state. Annoyed that a separate payment was required to use the pool in what is supposed to be a spa hotel. Service was slow. The hotel lacked any form of front of house leadership or motivation or support. Nothing made us feel like we would like to come to Cottons again

Lovely food.

Myself and my partner went for a meal after work. I've got to say the steak was perfect. I always order medium rare and in a lot of restaurants it can be hit and miss. But it was perfect. My partners pie was delicious. Loved the Christmas decorations and ambience. Even though the manageress was on her own there was no fault in service. We will be back very soon.

What the heck was going on?

The food, whilst I can’t say has been bad in recent times, it is not what it used to be and it has gone down-hill. The customer service however, has noticeably declined. Gone are the friendly and helpful staff who could guarantee a decent service, rather it appears to be more of a bunch of kids in charge here, arguable more interested in socialising than taking down the details of orders correctly, nor ensuring all meals arrive somewhat together – if at all.

Stay away at busy times

The service was so slow.. i would never recommend coming here on at Saturday night like we did.. the food was average at best... we kept getting the wrong drinks which my party found frustrating especially after waiting 35 mins for them..

UNTRUSTWORTHY STAFF

Stayed in this hotel for 2 nights for a friends wedding. When I checked out Saturday morning I realised within 15 minutes that I had left my toiletries in the bathroom and phoned the hotel straight away to inform them as cleaners had not yet been to my room to clean. A lady on reception told me they would go to the room to retrieve the items and call me back to arrange posting. I received a phone call over 24 hours later on Sunday evening to say that none of my items were found.

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.
