Fred's Brasserie - Blackburn

Fabulous food. ALL HALAL. Amazing service. Delicious food. We stayed at the hotel and dined here for breakfast and dinner. We also attended the wedding venue owned by this hotel (the MyLahore marquee). No idea why the reviews are so low but we had a great time dining here. No reservations needed. They were all so kind and chatty. No need to go to town when you’ve got this magnificent restaurant! Definitely recommended!! Dietary restrictions: Their entire meat selection is halal! They also have halal alternatives for the full English breakfast.

So... Where to start. I'm pretty regular staying at the hotel for 2/3 nights a week, and I'm sad to give poor review but be assured, it's as objective as I possibly could and it's based on long term observation (2 3 months). Quality of food deteriorated dramatically in last few weeks. I suspect chef's on long term holiday or left.. Menu stayed the same, but the way the main meal is prepared... Several times served cold (and I mean stone cold), steak regualry overcooked, side dishes not seasoned and served cold...on several occasions.. And list goes on and one... Plus: Charging premium posh hotel prices and you're getting substandard food. I feel sorry for a staff... All young people with minimum experiences in industry try their best. Hardly keeping up with standard you'd expect from expensive hotel. Atmosphere if you're lucky and get there through car blocking only entry road because of nearby wedding venues, is pretty good. Overall 3/10 (August 2023), not reccomend.

Really disappointed. We have eaten at Mr Fred's a few times and today we were really disappointed. The waitress came and took our order hadn't a clue if the soup was spicy so had to go and ask. We gave our order and waited an hour after our order was taken we were told that their was problems in the kitchen with the gas rings only two were working. Another 15 minutes went by and we received our food soup bland and Luke warm two ceaser salads that looked like it had been thrown on the plate and over powered with the sause. Surely if they knew they were having problems before we ordered they should have told us. We did get free deserts but my point is service was slow and food bland. This should have been addressed straight away not leaving us an hour and 15 minutes waiting for bland Luke warm food to arrive. We certainly won't be returning anytime soon which is a pity as previous visits everything was ok.

Visited Wednesday last week....changed out of all recognition, since 2years ago. Waitress had no idea where to place our champagne glasses after offering us glasses of cheap Prosecco!! Soup could have been tinned tomato !! Then a dire tiny fish pie ,sloppy mash 5 small pieces of salmon and 3 slices of white fish skin and joy of joys raw long stemmed broccoli. Complaint made in all sincerity as the staff need training and in return two free coffees and £3 off the broccoli !! This used to be a nice place to eat for a friend's reunion from different countries...but never again.
