Right, my boss is over from Atlanta today. We're finishing at lunch and I'm taking him up to the Reebok so he can buy random shit from the club shop (I converted him into a Wanderers fan a few years back).

 

I need to take him somewhere decent for lunch. Preferably somewhere a bit 'ye olde', what with him being American and them having no culture at all.

 

Is the Blundell still good for lunches, or does anyone know of anywhere else around Horwich way that is alreet?

 

Ta muchly.

The Blundell is a weird place, used to go almost on a weekly basis a few years ago...but you could go from the sublime to shite.

 

More often than not, shite.

 

Not been back for food for about 3-4 years now. Think its a chef and brewer job now.

 

Cherry Tree was really good when we went, but that was soon after opening.

Frankie & Benny's: fat Yanks love it.

Dont know why - portions are shite

I went in once. It was full of children and balloons. I was so scared and had to leave before they even took us to our table.

 

I've no idea what the food is like but I'll not go again.

It was an evening, and I was driving.

I was at the Blundell, with the family, in mid-March and the food wasn't that bad at all. It was closed for a couple of weeks late last year to do the place up, although i could not tell the difference. The menu is on a rotational basis depending upon the season and what special weeks they have planned.

 

A word of warning - stay away from the Amstel beer - its shit over here but at the Blundell its even worse!

 

But i do love their Gammon and Eggs

Always go to the Blundell when I'm back, reckon it's ok and much better than Bob's Smithy, but they tend to have better ales.
