Where to eat in Burnley ?

[Dressinggown]

I have not visited Continentals since it had the restaurant venue in the Keirby Hotel. Which was very good.

The original deli / cafe is now open as a Friday/ Saturday night place which I had no idea existed.

Superb. Food great, staff brilliant. Can't recommend the place enough.

Your recommendations ?

Palazzo always good. All the restaurants down at Crow Wood are worth the trip out, and cater for lots of price ranges. Ellis’s good in the old Mix building, though I’ve not been for a while. The Ram in Cliviger just under new management and is getting brilliant reviews and was excellent when I visited.

Depends on the time of day….

Daytime - Continentals, or if you love pasta/pizza, then Belissimo on Parker lane.

Night time - Aroma for curry, Palazzo is ok if it’s not busy, if it is it’s a lottery.

[GetIntoEm]

Palazzo is good during the week or during the day. On a Friday and Saturday night it turns into a **** up. Completely ruins it

Another shout for The Ram. We went about a month ago and the new owners have hopefully sorted it out for the better after a number of years of mediocrity and poor offerings.

[Scott Arfield's Swag]

Plenty of places we enjoy that are all relatively under the radar and not shouted about as often as they perhaps should do.

Empire Theatre Bar - excellent Thai food.
Corkhouse - Pizzas and tapas.
Little White Horse - Small plates and sharing boards. Think they do Sunday Roasts too.
Icaro Lounge - Mediterranean style menu.
Ellis' - excellent burger joint.

Plus those mentioned above Palazzo, Continentals and Aroma.

All in the town centre. Add in some quality beers served at Hatters Bar (opposite Ellis') and the trusted Bridge and you can have a great night in our own town. Certainly a lot better than the narrative would have you believe.

Little white horse for a Sunday dinner. Hands down the best in town.

Bay Horse Worsthorne, excellent food.

[Clovius Boofus]

Great to hear and read about The Ram being on the up. Stopped going years ago when it became a poor-quality deep-fry and microwave eatery with a take it or leave it attitude. Used to think it was a crying shame given its setting. Will check it out soon.

Went to Ram a couple of weeks ago. Very good. Crow Wood is very good too.

Lived back in the village since 1998 and when we went a couple of weeks ago it was the first time in all those years that we said we would go back ,Tuesdays 2 rump steaks and the trimmings and a bottle of wine you’d pay just over a tenner in the supermarket for £35.Oliver is pulling out all the stops to turn it around ,Bay Horse is also very good and does 2 course lunches for around £23 ,the only downside is that their cheapest bottle of wine (Pinot Grigio) is £27,and around £20 in most other local pubs.

The Empire place seems to have a recent poor hygiene rating but you can't trust anything you read anymore.

I agree with all these recommendations, apart from The Empire. What is that weird smell in there? It really puts me off the food (which I think is bang average). The beer is awful as well.

Really! I've never experienced that.

That's good to hear as we went to the Ram last summer and it was awful and heavily overpriced..

Continentals on Friday night:

Shared Mezza for a starter.

Lamb Sherwerma on Spicy Rice.

Lamb Steak meal on Ciabatti with seasoned chips and salad.

2 Strawberry Mojito's (my indulgence).

2 Latte Coffees.

Less than £50.

[Livingthedream]

always enjoy the new waggoners on Manchester road before an evening game. reasonably prices with a good selection of food for all.

If you want some 'proper' Pub Grub' then make your way to the Glen View which is in Portsmouth (between Burnley and Todmorden).

[Claretnick]

Has anyone tried the Real Food Hall on Red Lion Street?

[Dressinggown]

Perhaps the best I have come across is the Sunday deal at Jaipur Indian in Padiham.

Top notch.

Try the Chicken Chaat and then the Lamb Pathia.

A couple of Kingfishers don't go amiss !

Bay Horse Worsthorne, excellent food.

Was going to say this. We went a few weeks ago, and the food was far ahead of normal pub fayre, and they do a belting offer for 2 courses
