I was visiting Blackburn from across the pond on business and decided to try a good British steak…read more When scrolling through the local offerings, I noted that the Hudson Smokehouse offered a stone cooked steak. Since I had never had one prepared that way, I thought I'd give it a try. I enjoyed the experience. The perfect size rib eye steak was brought out with beautiful grill marks, sizzling on a hot stone for me to finish the cooking to my preferred state of doneness (medium rare of course). I sprinkle on a little salt & pepper, flipped it over twice until it had a nice sear & was ready to go. The flavor of the meat was great, it was a perfect medium rare. The experience was worth it. If I had a choice though, I'd have preferred an option for a side other than 'chips' - mashed or baked would have been preferred. I give the Hudson Smokehouse a hearty thumbs up.

I absolutely love the decor in this place it's very rustic. They have live music every Saturday night, there service was excellent all staff are extremely friendly and helpful - thank-you to the lady who looked after us last night, unfortunately I do not know your name. I had the "bourbon" burger last night and my partner had the "Bull & boar" we halved them so we could try both....both really nice (coleslaw and chunky chips delish too) they have a decent choice on the menu from chicken, pulled pork, burgers, ribs, and steaks, it's defiantly a mans meaty American style dream. Its a perfect place if you just fancy a lunch/tea with your family or friends that's not pricey and a drink or two after with some live music, without dressing up "to the nines" the cocktails sounded really nice but we didn't have any as we were driving, a sparkling water was as exciting as it got ha! And the milkshakes looked ace but the portions of our main were so generous we couldn't stomach anything else.

They are members of the just eat service meaning though they are a one off independent pizza parlour you can still order your food online. They have all various offers you would expect from a pizza place. The food is lovely and I order from this place regularly. If there is one downside it is that the staff do not understand english very well. The prices are very cheap when constrasted with pizza giant pizza hut. There can be around £2 in difference for a pizza of the same size when compared with pizza hut - with chicago being the cheaper. They have changed the layout recently and it seems to have made the floor area smaller but there are still toilets for customers to use and a few tables for you to eat inside if you should desire to do so.

They also do great kebabs. I had a House Special once, and there was so much of it they gave you the pitta bread and meat separately and you kinda have to make your own. But it was tasty. They also do scrumptious burgers. The chips are made from frozen, so they aren't fabulous or anything, but then you don't really go there for chips.

Black pudding, pork, streaky bacon, brown sauce and some secret ingredients... yep, they sell all these in ONE sausage. The Breakfast-all-in-one. Think of that explosion of flavour between two pieces of toasted granary bread. Mmm. The minted lamb grills and chinese barbeque burgers would be fab for the next barbie too. They even have thick rich beef gravy, which comes in glass jars, lining the counter so forget Bisto, if you're buying your beef from here, go the whole hog (/cow?) and get the grandest gravy to go with it!

This is most definitely a top range butchers with a clean and fresh appearance (not grotty like some) and pleasantly laid out.

I do like the egg shaped chocolate ones these days that you can get from Blockbuster pick n mix stands..mmmmmmm. I just imagine the owners of this establishments sharing my love of almonds. Almond Restaurant & Bar is nestled in West Derby Village making it a loved local restaurant. The decor is modern contemporary but doesn't feel too cold. I highly recommend their breaded Fish Goujons with Lemon & Dill Dressing, a perfect rip snorter of a starter. For the mains the 8oz handmade Burger topped with Cheese served with Hand Cut Chips & Homemade Coleslaw is a good choice indeed. Must admit though I was slightly underwhelmed by the menu, it felt slightly pub comfort food orientated to me. It wasn't very extensive either with less than 10 mains to choose from. However what they do have is delicious, so one shouldn't complain really. Allin all good experience indeed. At 2 courses for £12 and 3 for £16 try and fit in a Almond Ice Cream Sundae if you can because it was just "God Damn!!!!!!!!!" kind of tasty.

I look forward to becoming a regular visitor & trying out different dishes rather than travelling into the city centre for a decent restaurant.
