Wow, this restaurant never fails to impress. Been this lunchtime (24th Nov), Christmas menu. Was the usual high standard. Chef and all behind the scenes - you certainly deserve 5 stars - food beautifully presented and tasted delicious. Serving staff attentive and helpful. Special note...to our server - Eamon, cheerful and friendly. Very Merry Christmas to Karen and all the team, your hard work is much appreciated.More

My husband and I have just started Christmas - we’ve had Christmas lunch at Scholars restaurant. We’ve had lunch before and thoroughly enjoyed the experience but this was up another level. An imaginative, innovative menu full of enticing flavours, cooked to perfection and served by...the attentive and knowledgeable students. Well done to all involved.More

Karen and her students are absolutely incredible. The food was outstanding. The service was outstanding. We had a Christmas Lunch and it was like something from an award winning Restaurant. Every part of the meal was amazing with so much care and attention, and absolutely...delicious. Thank you Karen and please thank your students. We absolutely loved it! We look forward to seeing you again next March. (Debbie from Blackburn) xMore

Another perfect experience from beginning to end. Thank you to all the staff for our first Christmas meal of 2023. It was like being part of master chef!!!! See you next year. Thank you

The Christmas lunch was absolutely superb, we’ve been to Scholars numerous times and have never failed to be amazed at the quality and presentation of the food. Different students every time but no drop in their service or enthusiasm. Don’t know how you do it...Karen, many thanks.More

Thank you to Karen and her students. The food was excellent with outstanding service and extremely good value. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch.

Excellent food in an elegant venue; convenient for parking and easy to walk to. Lovely, friendly greeting and quick, efficient service. Love the explanation of each course by the students.

The food and service are fantastic. Probably the best restaurant around. The staff & students perform their duties with expertise & and cherry disposition. It’s very hard to get in, so plan well in advance. Thanks guys it was a wonderful experience.

We have just had a fabulous 4-course Christmas meal, (incl tea & coffee, take-way bag mince pie & truffle) at Scholars Restaurant, Blackburn College. The Christmas food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented and great portion sizes. The best restaurant in Lancashire! You will not get...better value than here! The staff, under the expert supervision of Karen, were very friendly and efficient. We definitely left in the Christmas spirit! Can't wait until I go again in December!More

Well executed meal .. the standout for me was the soup seasoned to perfection...staff were fantastic and attentive including the wonderful manager Karen

Great food. Fantastic value for a 4 course lunch. The students are well trained. They are guided towards professional standards under the watchful eye of Restaurant manager Karen.
