It's the first time for 60 years that I visited Darwen Tower and after the walk went in the Ramblers Country Cafe. It was a delight to see so many people there. The atmosphere was so friendly and enjoyable. The food was fine and what you'd expect for the money. I'd definitely go again when I'm in Tockholes
Nice half way house stop if you're on any of the many walks round the reservoirs and through the woods. Car park on site. Pub next door. Picnic benches available.
A great place for breakfast or lunch. Out in the wonderful West Pennine Moor countryside. The food is good value for money and the staff are very helpful and friendly.
I entered the cafe extremely busy and waited patiently in the queue I had most visibility on my 2 dogs and glanced at the menu, as I was half way in the queue the cafe owner approached me and said one of my dogs has had a mishap assuming this was my dogs as I was the only one in the cafe with dogs and someone had stood in dog poo unbeknown. After I left the cafe I was still being slandered outside by two biker men and he was staring at me as he came with food for them. I took my dogs strolling and they had a poo each as soon as I stepped on grass and if anyone knows chihuahuas they poo usually once on a walk maybe twice over a long stroll it's minimal, I have been the cafe prior and it's never occurred. I 100 percent am not certain they even know if this was my dog and the whole approach around me was horrendous for a dog friendly cafe this could have been as simple as someone with a dog came in saw the queue and left or someone after food from the tables with a dog, no one witnessed my dogs doing the deed this was an assumption clearly as they walked in a mess I had to clean Infront of everyone, shocking approach,I have been a manager in retail seen actual human mess cleaned this discretely and addresses aside, this was risen to me in a queue Infront of loads of people and I was made to clean this alone Infront of people under an assumption, I left so quickly and did not eat and I had to sit with family uncomfortable while they had thier food edging to go for being a pet owner.
We sometimes go here for breakfast after a walk up to jubilee tower. They do a lovely breakfast. There is usually quite a queue and only one person serving so can be waiting a while
I've just called here again after a gap of several months and I'm sorry to say that it's gone downhill ???? it took ages to place my order of just 2 toasted teacakes and 2 coffees despite only 4 people in front of me. It then took so long to get the teacakes we had drunk our coffee and were getting cold. I went back in to cancel it and they said they were just finishing them so waited. We were promised new coffees but after finishing the teacakes they'd still not appeared so we gave up and left.
Extremely slow service I'd hate to see how they cope on a busy weekend!
Lastly one of the teacakes had bearly any butter on it, it was almost dry. I did see her scraping the margarine tub out but expected her to open a new one, but obviously not!
My advice is to give it a miss and pop over the road to the pub/cafe.
Grab a mean brew after a ramble up to Jubilee Tower (Darwen Tower to you and me) I can recommend the potato pie and gravy what with a bit of pepper will put hairs on your chest but I’m told by the lovely staff (who speak fluent Lancastrian) the local delicacy is butter pie. By ‘Eck!
Food was good, plentiful, and reasonable in price. Found the cafe cold to sit in we had to keep our coats on, decor was basic
