The staff were ok , efficient and the service was very quick. we ordered prawn sandwiches with chips, the chips were amazing, whatever you order try the chips!!!! Not cheap at £2.25 for a cone but just get one to share at! the Topariary Restaurant always gets good reviews and everyone says the food is good at the functions there.

Service with a smile though a little slow at times. A starter to share is a reasonable amount for 2 people, or 3 at a push if you don't want to fill yourself too full before your main course. I had the Lancashire pork sausage and mash which was truly heavenly. Had the 'award winning' cheesecake dessert which I have to say was a bit of a disappointment. Microscopic cubes of lime jelly surrounding a dollop of cream cheese on a piece of slate just doesn't cut it for me I'm afraid, and certainly not worth over £7!

With mood lighting and tables not sat on top of each other is also great for the special romantic meal or a gathering with friends. The starter I choose was garlic mushrooms on toast and tasted fabulous. It came with a soft boiled egg, different for sure, except mine came with a hard boiled one as I didn't fancy egg yolk running through my mushrooms! But hey maybe that's just me... The main I was undecided between the various lamb options or the chicken breast... I choose the chicken breast which was atop a bed of peas, beans and onion. Many distinct flavours all complaining one another and allowing you to refresh ones own pallet before returning to the main. The side of Aspin friend was delicious with truffle oil, salt and pepper. For desert I choose the daily special that was Raspberry Bakewell Tart with winter berries and port compote, with vanilla ice cream. All staff were friendly polite and informative. The food overall was very good but odd bits could have done with being warmer such as the onion mash, but it was delicious non the less.

The Brun Lea is a Wetherspoons pub in Burnley. It's quite a decent size and sells the wide range of…read morecheap drinks which is synonymous with Wetherspoons. There's also a half decent menu offering cheap pub grub. The lack of music makes it difficult to create much atmosphere. Certainly during the daytimes, the Brun Lea is almost exclusively occupied by the older generation and the hard core drinkers of Burnley. On a Friday and Saturday evening it does pick up with plenty of younger people popping in for a cheap one or two before a night on the town. I still rarely venture in though as during these times it's crowded and noisy without any real buzz or atmosphere.

Situated between the picturesque…read morevillages of Whalley and Clitheroe, The Eagle at Barrow is a terrific respite with an excellent high-end menu. It's a fairly big place, but surprisingly intimate, with excellent spatial planning and different sections comprising of a fine dining room, bar area and a fireplace and two lounge areas-- one with a grand piano and second bar; the second tucked into a conservatory. Known for their meats and sausages, you'll never be disappointed. But their fish menu is excellent (most often on their daily specials menu) and they have what seems to be a never-ending selection of delectable appetisers. Don't miss the lamb shank or pan-fried bass with parmesan and thyme sauce (a special and absolutely delicious). I'm also a sucker for their parmesan truffle fries-- that's right, peeps; Thin-cut fries as opposed to thick-cut chips (I know, I know-- I'm showing my American). And they have a lovely cheese board with selection of local, Lancashire cheeses. Always crowded, you'll likely need a reservation for the dining room. However, they serve food throughout the pub (same menu) and will send a server to your table to take your order. We actually prefer eating in the bar/pub area as it's more casual and intimate. A new addition is the recently opened deli which sells their award-winning sausages and a slew of gourmet food. YUM.

The chips were doubled fried to make them extra crisp and the fish was cooked with a nicely but lightly spiced batter. Granddad had the beef pie which was a good portion and included French Fries. My wife and I shared several starters. First was the Queen Scallops over Black Pudding special. The Pudding was excellent, but we needed a magnifying glass to find the scallops. Next we had the garlic mushrooms, which were nice and creamy, but not quite garlicy enough for us. We also had a Rocket, Olives, and Shaved Parmesan salad, which was covered in Pesto. It was good, but a bit oily for my wife's taste because of the pesto. We then had a Salmon wrapped in Prosciutto Caesar Salad, which was excellent. For dessert Granny had Vanilla Panna Cotta with Peaches and Honeycomb, which she quite enjoyed. My wife had the Lancashire Cheese Plate, which was tremendous. I had the trio of Strawberry which we all loved. Ganddad's Brownie and Black Cherry Ice Cream however was rock hard on one end. After showing this to the waiter, he promptly took it off the bill. We all enjoyed our food, even if there were a few miss hits.
