Restaurants near Hoghton Tower

Everything thing was excellent. Our waiter Marcin was attentive and very positive

Had a lovely meal with a friend overlooking the river. Food was excellent and service was friendly and timely. The environment just looked a little tired and unclean.

Akbar’s, Blackburn – A Memorable Dining Experience Akbar’s in Blackburn is hands down my favourite spot for Indian cuisine. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, family-friendly atmosphere and genuinely engaging staff who go out of their way to make every visit special. The food is consistently excellent. On our last visit, we started with dynamite prawns, chicken tikka, and cheesy seekh kebabs – all bursting with flavour and perfectly cooked. For mains, I went with the chicken charsi, rich and deeply spiced, while my daughter enjoyed a mild chicken karahi that was just right for her palate. What really stood out, though, was the thoughtful service. The staff surprised me with a lovely birthday gesture, even though I hadn’t mentioned it – a small touch that made the night even more memorable. Whether you're going with family, friends, or just looking for a great meal out, Akbar’s delivers every time. Highly recommended!

Great food, good value with friendly service . We would have stayed longer but closed early on Christmas Eve to get ready for them opening again next day

Our server was absolutely fantastic, full of energy and very attentive. The food was fantastic and came out very speedy.
