Calypso is one of our favourite places to go. The food is always spot on (recommend the mutton curry and red snapper). Good atmosphere and music too.

A works party of 26, all ordered different meals, the food arrived in good time, was piping hot and was absolutely delicious! Would definitely recommend !!
What a great family meal we’ve had tonight at the Calypso , Blackburn . The food was amazing , the staff especially the waitress (owners niece) was extremely attentive and friendly . The vibe was chilled which is perfect for families . You need to...try the king prawns in garlic . By far the best prawns I’ve ever tried 😍 we will be back again soon 😍 thankyou for a wonderful evening.More
My friends and I had traveled on the boat along the canal for 4 days from lymm ,as we had heard such lovely things about this place. When on arrival the place looked ace , nice tunes and lovely views .. we sat out side...and ordered some cocktails , but we didn’t order anouther one as it was full of artificial sugar syrup and cheap cocktail mix. We ordered food and I will say that the food was spot on !! Nice flavour and cooked really well I can not fault the food . Everything was going well and having a good time .. then one of the drunken owners friends came over to ask for a cigarette, I said “ sorry I don’t have any “ he stood there very drunk mumbling things under his breath.. Me and my friends ignore the man and wait for him to leave for table . He came back about about 30mins later and continued saying things like “ very nice “ and “mhhhh” I asked him to leave me alone he was obviously looking at my in a sexual way and it was making me uncomfortable, he then thought he would try his look and lent it for what looked like a kiss . I stood up and told him he needed to leave the table, he still hovered around for a cupple of minutes until his concentration switched back to his drunk friends . I will just add that I’m 25 year old woman and this pervert of a man is probably 70 . I went in to tell the manager at the bar , she came out and told the owner about what had happened as he was one of his friends . There was no care From the owner and me and my friends left , when leaving the owner was talking to staff at the bar, unaware that I was still in the building and said “ she isn’t from round here it doesn’t matter he’s been coming here for years” Take what you will from this review , but the owner is a drunken mess who doesn’t give a crap about anyone Outher then his mates and his pocket . God knows how this place is still open with that guy as the owner!! Save yourselves and avoid this place .More
We are very sorry that your visit with your friends was not as you expected. The male person you are referring to is a homeless foreign man who doesn't speak much English. He occasionally attends the premises and usually buys a pint and leaves and...More
Excellent food and friendly attentive staff. Reasonably priced and good size portions. Cocktails were also lovely
What a fantastic experience! Exceptional food ! Great beer and cocktails ! Good value , easy walk from Blackburn Bus station . Or walk along the canal .
The owner Dave Wilson abuses customers and staff - he's a drunken bully who picks fights when drunk and stoned which is most of the time. Worst of all rats run amoke in kitchen and outside, without any care for peoples health - avoid at...all costs, not least your healthMore
Made to feel very welcome, we had a lovely meal including jerk chicken, kebabs, rice n peas, and dumplings. All the food was tasty and well presented, the kebabs being my favourite. I will certainly be returning for another visit, hopefully I will have more...time to spend here next time.More
Found this by accident after visiting nearby. Look for the Wharf signs, not far outside Blackburn centre. Not many pub car parks have wall art, or a huge dragon seemingly ready to dive into the canal! Great food, made in-house, authentic and great value for...money. The cold wind and driving rain warmed away by the quirky decor ( and lovely spicyJamaican food) Add a brilliant Landlord, excellent reggae soundtrack for a lucky find Highly recommendedMore
Fantastic food and will be back. The quality of the food is bang on and s Really enjoyed it. Not bad price. Good value for money
Nipped up here after a shopping trip. Had pineapple juice then chicken curry, rice and dumplings. Good food and friendly service. I love this place with it's quirky Caribbean themed decor. We will be back.
After traveling 7 hours in pouring rain on the Leeds Liverpool from Nelson, we arrived at a destination we have wanted to visit for a very long time. Pulling up at the mooring of the calypso restaurant and bar, within minutes of arriving we were...greeted by Dave the owner who gave us a very warm welcome. What a fabulous end to a very crap day on the canal. Dave was with humour and lots of banter and welcomed us to his amazing fabulous carribean food bazaar. I am so happy we got to make it to this place of want to visit on our travels as it was one of the best meals out I have had in a very long time. We had the carribean platter which comes with a taste of everything and may I say the fish and prawns where cooked to perfection and the mutton curry wow. The atmosphere was great and staff were lovely and friendly willing to help with your choices. Prices unbelievably reasonable in fact I would say very cheap for the standard of food we received. My compliments to the chef outstanding. I am sorry we have to leave as I would love to spend the weekend here it's just so good. Blackburn and this area while on boats get a bad rap but I would highly recommend a stop here it's safe secure and good moorings. I would also recommend any visitors in this area to give this little gem a visit also locals who have not been you don't know what you're missing, loved our visit here sad it was short would love to come back here for longer next time but CRT seem to rule our not so relaxing journeys 🤪 Hope to see you again Dave and your lovely crew. Best wishes to you and thanks for a lovely night and great food. 🍲🍲😘😘More
