Came over from chorley for breakfast with a old work colleague. It was a Wednesday morning around 10am, we were seated at the last available table. We both opted for the breakfast, my favourite meal any time of day and I'm very particular on quality. It was excellent, sausages cooked in the oven, very tasty, bacon, beans, egg, toast, coffee or juice, very generous portions too, I've paid a lot more for a lot less, certainly value for money, I came away thinking I had way under paid for such a treat. Lovely hard working owners too, a Darwen diamond.
