The Blackburne Pub Eatery - Liverpool

The pub itself is lovely atmosphere , parking a bit of a nightmare Staff lovely However we arrived a little early and we were a party of 9 the other party at our table hadn’t finished So we waited a few minutes they moved us to a larger table which was ok Then a few of the guests kept getting this awful smell we couldn’t make our were it was coming from So we ordered food and asked the staff member what the smell was she said she couldn’t smell anything Food arrived a few in the party vegetables cold , so food taken away and returned warmer but Yorkshire pudding tasted burnt Potatoes a bit burnt but gravy covered them Meal was ok Quite expensive for what it was !!! But this smell kept returning which was rather off putting We ordered pudding sticky toffee pudding 5 of us ordered this and this had a really burnt after taste in the mouth Told member of staff said no one else had said anything , so thought we’ll maybe that the way it’s meant to be The smell kept returning then we new were it was coming from Mens Toilet every so often when door opened it we got a waft I’m our opinion table shouldn’t be by toilets So food was average staff lovely atmosphere great would not eat there again So sorry Blackburn arms it’s a no from myself and my family

The food was stunning as always. I had the pork belly which was exceptional. The other 2 people in my party had burgers which were delicious. We have been here for Sunday lunch before which again was delicious. I would recommend this pub. It is ideally situated near the University. It is a favourite place to go for lunch when we have dropped our daughter back at uni, before travelling back home.

Nice spot for a drink, however my one issue was that this is labelled as a dog friendly pub and whilst, yes, okay, it technically is, the barman informed me upon entry that dogs weren’t allowed on the carpeted area. Now whilst I understand this is, on the face of it, a fairly reasonable request (that is their decision, of course, they can make decide any rules they want) I’m not entirely sure you could necessarily call it dog friendly in the strictest sense, as this then means you’re resigned to a table by the toilets, a table right by the door, or two huge tables. Was planning to eat here too but it didn’t seem a particularly comfortable place to enjoy the admittedly great sounding food I’d journeyed here for. And what to do if it was busy? Go somewhere else? Have other people been here with dogs? On the carpeted area? And I do wonder If I’d have booked in advance for lunch and brought a dog would we still have been confined to the same area? And if not, then should the barman have been so hasty to send me over to the non carpeted area without even asking if I was eating? Who knows? It was a Monday after all, and service always typically slumps on a Monday. Never mind. You’re spoilt for choice for dog friendly pubs in Liverpool and I’m sure this place is the height of customer service at peak times, dog or no dog, so it only meant I got my steps in and good luck to them, it’s a cute place if you haven’t got a dog and fancy some lunch on a quiet day. If a wee chilly

T’was a cold Decembers night, and Charlie and Emily were great in providing a festive atmosphere with their array of fantastic cocktails and ales. Will certainly frequent this establishment!!

Cosy, Charming and Food to die for You must book ! We were served by Danielle, absolutely bob on. Her and the teams attention is second to none by many establishment standards. Their attention to detail starts with the Pubs carpet. You sink. The food was delicious from start to finish, Ham Hock Fritters were incredulous. The ribeye main dreamy. My god. Then the cherry crumble just an absolute pleasure. Beautiful cosy pub with like minded folks, no loons. True Gastro Indeed.
