Anyone tried it yet?
Me and Mum went on Friday lunchtime last week, it was very busy, food was good but overpriced I thought, service took a long time and no draught lager on despite the advertised Peroni. £2.odd for a small bottle of Fosters ! Wine list looked expensive too when you consider what the Calder has to offer.
Anyhow, I will give it another go as food was tasty and well presented, portions large and menu adventurous by Accy's standards....grilled steak baguette with avocado salsa! :eek:
 
Yup; used to be posh bathroom place under the railway arches; opposite side of road to what used to be Kwik Save ! ( if that makes sense !)
 
It's advertised as a bistro/bar/ cafe . Not sure if there is an upstairs bit, if not they are going to struggle to fit people in, saw at least 8 punters walk away on friday because it looked like there was no room.
 
Been passed it a few times..but it didn't really register with me.....sure I should be a blonde...........:D
 
Apparently it is a different menu at night but they didn't have any to hand out; said it was more specials, they did give us a Christmas menu though that looked very nice; sadly no price on it !
 
me and the missus are friends of the owner and were invited to the opening night, something a bit different for accrington and i must say he has done a very good job considering he`s new to the cafe/bar/bistro game, the menu is very adventurous and different in an evening, don`t know why they had no evening menu`s to give out though, unless its being tweaked,we had a great night, there is an upstairs overspill area with waiter/waitress service and large comfy leather setees for chilling out on with a beer. although i must agree about the prices, possibly a little overpriced for accrington but i suppose quality costs.:D would highly recommend giving it a try though.
 
Do you know if they have an experienced/qualified chef preparing the food in the evenings?

It certainly looks nice when ive driven past, and would like to try something different of an evening in Accrington. Almost every new opening these days, seems to be an Indian Restaurant or Takeaway, and whilst i am rather partial to Indian Food, it would be nice to have something perhaps on the Medditerranean/Modern British style for a more varried culinary experience.
 
i believe the chef in the evenings is experienced and qualified, i was told where he came from but can`t remember, sorry
