First, the good stuff. The staff welcomed us in, made us feel very relaxed and were attentive and friendly throughout our time here. They deserve a five star review of their own. Unfortunately the description of this restaurant as vegetarian friendly with vegan options is not correct. There are limited veggie choices and no vegan mains at all.We adapted the pizzas to be vegan for my partner and dairy free (allergy not choice) for me.Two pizzas took nearly 40 mins to arrive. The place wasnât busy though a large party had placed their order just before us so we expected a bit of a wait but this seemed quite long. A couple who ordered a minute or two before us were served ten minutes before we were and no one else was waiting. My seafood pizza had lots of tasty fishy bits and the tomato sauce was tasty but the base was soft, lacked flavour, including salt and more like part cooked bread than pizza. My partnerâs mushroom pizza was okay, same base issue. We were hungry so we ate them. We wonât go back as we canât really get a meal here. Which is a shame as a relaxed bistro is just perfect for Burnley right now.

As in my previous review the food and food service were excellent.....but.....it almost seems they don't want paying. Over 20 minutes from asking for the bill to actually paying for the food. I think the management really ought to sort this out - it is totally unacceptable.Hello Hassy049Thank you for your feedback.Your concerns about the our payment system are deeply disturbing to hear, after your previous review we did some work to try to improve the system and ensure it is a efficient as possible. It appears from your feedback that this has not resolved the issue. We are very sorry that this is still the case.I would be very keen to talk with you and hear first hand the difficulties you experienced to enable us to focus on this issue, if you could call me on 01282421705 or email some contact details to [email protected] I can contact you.I am pleased to note that once again the food is excellent but appreciate that the payment issues somewhat cloud the overall experience.RegardsPatrick O'ReillyGeneral Manager

Visited here today Sunday the 7th July for the first time, beautiful authentic dishes, its very homely, they have a vast range of speciality dishes cooked by the chef on offer. itâs family run also they make their own authentic cakes, the same as you would find in Napoli. Lynn is a very welcoming lady who is married to the Italian chef. definitely coming again and bringing family and friends too, you must definitely try this place as you wonât be disappointed, I give it 5 stars Thankyou. I never know what to say when people leave reviews like this. We are a just a family business trying very hard to please people and give them what we call Authentic italian fayre. My husband should take the credit for this though, he puts passion and soul into his dishes, even an italian poached eggs on toadt for breakfast. We would love to see you and your family soon. Again, thankyou.

Four of us dined here as itâs usually consistently good quality food at a reasonable price with great service. Unfortunately this time although the service was the usual good standard the food wasnât. Two of us had duck with red cabbage and dauphinoise potato. My duck was chewy and raw in the middle.... which Iâm prepared to accept as I like mine quite pink but the fat had not been rendered and the skin wasnât crispy.... in fact it was blubbery. The duck had obviously not been cooked properly and rested. The potato was not cooked through in the middle which meant I only ate the outside slices. My friend asked for a steak knife to separate the fat from the meat on her duck. Lots of waste on my plate which is a bit of a shame when you are paying for a full plate of edible food. Hopefully this was just a bad day in the kitchen. Our other two meals.... fish and chips and sea bass were fine.

Visited The Bobbin yesterday for the first time and was very impressed. The food here is excellent. I had the Cesar Salad and it was delicious, my friends both opted for the Chicken Stroganoff and loved it. The cake selection is incredible. Can't wait to go back.

I had a day off and it rained non stop all morning . We didnât want to go too far as travelling would have been horrendous. We changed our plans decided to do jobs in the morning then have lunch out. We chose to come here as itâs not open when Iâm off work. It was so lovely, the decor is fab and like a traditional tea room. We were met with a nice warm welcome. The service was wonderful and friendly and now for the best bit .... the food and drink . Tea was hot and refreshing served in china cups. We shared because we both wanted the same. The Cheese and onion pie served with salad was so tasty and homemade, the tuna sandwiches were fresh and also tasty. The cakes were divine lemon curd sponge was light and fluffy and the ginger nut topped cake was excellent . Thanks for making my wet day off wonderful
