Cannot fault a single thing. The setting, the table service, the food, all impeccable. An absolute pleasure to have eaten what these students made for us, and we will most definitely be returning again soon.

Lovely meal. Four courses for £12 . The one negative is that I felt a bit rushed. Would have been nice to have a short break between courses rather than clearing your empty plate then immediately fetching the next course. . Other than that, I would recommend a visit

You won't regret a visit to this amazing restaurant - you will need to plan in advance, so don't expect to walk in. Do expect top class service, beautiful food and a relaxed environment. Please don't forget to leave a tip - it means an awful lot to the students, and seeing as the 4 course menu is less than £15 a head it really would be rude not to.

Fab meal, lovely young people waiting on. Really recommend. Xx

Another great meal at Scholars restaurant. 4 beautifully cooked & presented courses at an unbelievable price. You won't find food of this quality at this low price anywhere else. If you haven't visited yet you're missing out.

Where do I start....I was blown away by the four course vegan plant based menu priced at £12 the catering students at Blackburn College, created, cooked and served at Scholars. I and my husband went for lunch and the whole experience far exceeded our expectations, the food was amazing, beautifully presented, cooked, seasoned and was an absolute delight to eat. This is accomplished, confident cooking and yet the chefs are only aged 16 to 19 and their talents put to shame many of the places I have dined, where the vegan food has been a token gesture, an after thought of just putting any old rubbish on the plate. Scholars vegan food was well thought out, creative, exciting and cooked with passion. These are our chefs of the future, how lucky are we. I had a chat with student chefs Imogen and Gem (who made our mushroom dish & dessert respectively) who were so enthusiastic about their cooking. The front of house team were equally as good, serving the dishes and making sure we had drinks etc and checking if we liked the food. Credit is due to their mentor Head Chef Dave and Restaurant Manager Karen for introducing a vegan plant based menu. I cannot wait to go back.

We went last Thursday afternoon I have to say that the food was excellent I had no complaint at all the staff was very friendly and my granddaughter Katie was very professional with me she was so helpful and she explained all the meals that was put in front of us I would recommend your restaurant to all my family and friends and I will definitely be attending again and also the manager Karen was very helpful with our telephone conversation earlier that morning kind regards carole Mason

Beautiful food and fantastic service!

5 stars for the Food and 5 stars for the staff and students working in there. We had a fabulous Christmas lunch with Family . Everyone Enjoyed it. Great food at a great price. Highly recommend to All . Thanks guys

Fine dining at a fraction of the price. Food is excellent Ann's the staff are knowledgeable, helpful and polite.

Yet again, it was an absolutely wonderful meal. Karen @team are working so hard to provide great food and fab service. Christmas dinner was so delicious, and portion sizes were large. Got some extra Christmas pudding and chocolate melts. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Loved our meal the experience was brilliant, the students were really trying and were attentive and chatty. The Food was amazing and we will certainly be returning for sure. Keep doing what you're doing it's a fantastic opportunity for students in the Blackburn area. See you again soon x

Great experience and amazing value, standard of food and service was up there with fine dining restaurants, some really innovative dishes also, took us all by surprise, definitely worth heading to Blackburn for an eventful experience

I have visited Scholars on several occasions and it really is exceptional. The quality of the food preparation, presentation and service is as good as I've experienced anywhere. These keen and polite students outperform even the most expensive restaurants to be the top-rated restaurant in the area. This achievement is well deserved by the students, and testament to the hard work of their tutors. It is unfortunate (but understandable) that Scholars can only open for lunch, so not everyone will have the opportunity to experience it, but if you do go, you won't be disappointed.

Had the most delicious meal staff amazing will definitely be returning x

Excellent food at a bargain price!! What a great way to put into practice the skills you're learning. The students are doing a fine job. I'll definitely be back soon for more delicious food!

We had our Christmas meal here today from Arts 2 Heal. It was fantastic, every course was simply perfect!! The friendly staff were so lovely and made us all feel so welcome, nothing was too much trouble. Defo recommend. Thank you!!

Food was delicious and staff are very attentive. Cannot recommend this place enough.

This training restaurant is the best restaurant in Blackburn.

1st class lunch today. Presentation excellent and everything tasted superb. 1st visit will definitely be returning, well done all the students and staff.

Absolutely superb meal. Plate presentation excellent as was the taste. Master chef quality. Serving staff very pleasant just need to be a little more communicative. Will definitely be going again.

I tried Scholars Restaurant after a recommendation from a friend. Due to the current Covid19 restrictions we were unable to eat in at the restaurant, but had the take out option. The food is truly exeptional it's 5* star quality and value for money. My self and my wife had 3 courses. Starting with thai chilli fish cakes (amazing). The mains were fish and chips that any fish and chip shop would be proud to serve up. Finishing with sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Again it was fantastic. The cost for all this was £20, fantastic value for money. Service was top quality. I would recommend this restaurant to all and will definitely be going again either eating in or taking out. Keep up the good work.

Review of scholars at Blackburn college. I have absolutely no idea how this place does such amazing food for so little prices. Coming up currently as one of the best places in Lancashire and no wonder. Always busy you need to book. Went for his indoors birthday treat today. Catered for us perfectly we are gluten free. Curried cauliflower soup with pumpkin seeds for him and chicken and thyme pate with blueberry jelly for me with homemade GF bread. Wild mushroom and pea risotto for me and a brisket red wine shepherds pie for him. To finish the most beautiful lemon posset with cinder toffee and all sorts of sweet surprises. All for the princely sum of £8.50 for three courses just wow!! A very very reasonable Sauvignon The wines are great prices £12 a bottle!!! If you don’t try here your missing out on amazing food created by talented young students and superb value for money. It was wonderful! Cannot wait to go again!!
