If you'd ever worked in a kitchen you'd know it drains all the pleasure out of dining out - all one does is nitpick and find faults. Someone was waxing lyrical about some antipasto at Luciano's they had t'other night, I was polite and nodded along, but was actually thinking "great, they open some packets and jars and fiddle about a bit with it..." I'll eat out overseas, but here it's pretty dire, including where I worked, I saw someone drop trout fillets on the floor and pick them up as if nowt was wrong - the floor was filthy due to staff going out back for a cig. I'd rather go up Daubhill or Deane Road and have an unpretentious meal. If they have Sumac on the counter it'll be good - usually.

Youri McAnespie Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Redbank Road Chippy was a cracker as a kid, you could eat off a plate on a dining table in the back... I'm sure it was a third rate Kebab shop last time I passed. If that amusements around the corner on the front with the monkey is a fucking set of bedsits Bispham is dead to me...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted February 26, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted February 26, 2022 There’s a new place in Rawtenstall called Gemni. It’s the chef from Nutters at Norden. A bit pricey but for a special occasion, it’s fabulous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the one next door to Bispham and Cleveleys Kitchen? You walked in the door and there were some steps up to a back room on the right of the counter with Formica tables and bench seats. Utterly superb food. If so, it’s now a fucking rank chippy. There also used to be a good one across the road - like a terraced house that served chippy teas And yes, the amusement arcade is still there. Or at least it was back end of last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Italian cafe that was a real throwback to the sixties over the road, would've been right up Bolty's street. Last time I was up there it looked like dossers' row, surprised the amusements is still there. The chippy used to be the last call of cars and coaches doing 'the lights'...

My dad was an utter chippy snob. He would drive there with my mum just to have a chippy tea. There’s a cafe opposite there now that advertises itself as an “award winning” ice cream place so guess that’s where you mean? Never used to go to Bispham Kitchen due to how good that chippy was but they’ve really upped their game.

Absolutely. Love it and cheap too. You’d pay double in town. I’d say the quality is as good as El Gato. Alhambra reserva too in bottles is enough to make me sleep!
