A unique and delightful "bar," basically the last standing vestige of the Temperance movement in…read morenorthern England. As it's on church ground, it still doesn't serve alcohol although you can buy cordials to take away that would probably make great cocktails. We had a particularly charming young server who helped us try samples of the various cordials - they are all very sweet but lovely distinct flavours. We all opted for a full size helping of the hot lemon and ginger, my dad even snatched some extra of mine, he was enjoying it so much! My bf added gingseng to his (this combo wasn't on the menu but the server immediately suggested she could add it after he mentioned he was torn between the two). I tried the blood tonic milkshake after discovering the foul-sounding concoction actually involves hibiscus, rosehip and nettles. Any health benefits were of course ruled out by the ice cream, cream and (giant) flake topping, but it was yummy. Bf got an ice cream sundae, the "small" version being the side of his head (the large is normally recommended for sharing). My dad pounced on some lemon cake which he loved. If you don't have a sweet tooth there are a few savoury options, including a good selection of teas. But it really is a sweet flavour-oriented place - one of my fave features was that you can get a jam sandwich. The price point is really reasonable, sub £3 for the milkshakes which is excellent value, particularly considering you are in such a pretty environment. All in all a delightful interlude off the East Lancs Steam Railway!

This place really is magical! Not the sort of bar you would find unless you were looking for it…read morespecifically. The day we visited, there were two huge bikes outside and a couple of real bikers - beards, leathers, grease and oil - sitting inside drinking sarsasparilla and blood tonics. I'd recommend any of the cordials - we bought a few to take home and have used them as hot drinks, with soda water and as icecream floats - delicious! The shop itself doesn't look to have changed since it was first set up. Fantastic wooden pew-type benches, ancient soda syphons, antique counter and display material - everything is just so wonderful. Having said all that, one gets very quickly bored and we left to find a pub! (At that time there wasn't one in Rawtenstall that served real ale!)

Absolutely brilliant service, will definately order again with this company, thanks againread more

HOORA I need look no more!!! We've been using Bellusci for the past four years, and I did choose the term "using" carefully as it has become a little of an expensive habit when it comes to clothes shopping for him in doors. It started with a shirt & a fabulous pair a Jeffery West loafers and it's gone on from there....... Mario the owner, is friendly, knowledgeable about product & client , and willing to do the small, but very appreciated things such as shorten sleeves & taking up trousers & jeans. Always willing to chat & give you his time, you won't feel rushed to make a choice or purchase. Don't get me wrong this place isn't cheap but if you want beautifully made clothes from jeans & t shirts to evening suits & over coats, that have that little "something" about them, accompanied by great customer service then you won't go far wrong with this hidden gem.......and any where attire related, that my hubby is always willing to go in is a winner for me!!!
