Basils Traditional English Restaurant in Rossendale

Very impressed ! Excellent food, great service. Sunday set menu, 3course meal and a bottle of wine for 2 people £50, brilliant value for money. Definitely recommend a visit.

The food was absolutely gorgeous! My strak was cooked to perfection. It was a nice setting and the staff were friendly and helpful. I will definitely go again.

Telephoned numerous times for3 days trying to book a table for Wednesday.all calls went to answer phone and messages left. As a 78 year old diabetic I have to be certain of meal times. I tried another eatery but they were not serving that night.on Monday at5pm I phoned again as web page said they were open as it had for the previous days . Again no answer but as I needed to eat at6pm decided I had to take a risk. I was going onto a meeting at 7.30 On the way my friend rang someone answered. I was told they were fully booked and I asked if one of the bookings was mine. I was told not. I then asked if they could seat two at 6 which is quite early and I was told definitely not. Fortunately my friend took me into Rawtenstall where we had a great meal.MORAL don't persist in trying to book they are ignoring your calls and messages. There are other good eateries who will welcome your booking...................................... messages. There are alternativeswaste your time and energy to co

First time I've been. I left here feeling very, very happy. The food was quite simply superb (roast beef Sunday lunch) and the service was excellent. Beer and wine were very, very good too. Prices were very reasonable too. Definitely recommend and will definitely be going back.

This is an updated review after a visit tonight. From the start Christian was polite and very attentive to our needs as usual. A true professional. The starter of scallops with black pudding and the parsnip puree and parsnip crisp was the best scallops we have had. And we've had a few. The chef Matthew talked us through what he is hoping to do with the menu and it all sounds very good. We have already booked for the Sunday when the full new menu is in effect . Can't wait. Well done to bassils staff tonight.

Lovely friendly pub serving amazing food

Food was lovely, very nice. Shame they seemed to have some stock issues but part of the parcel of the country at the moment so can't fault them for that. Waiting staff were brilliant we will be back

Amazing food Excellent staff Affordable menu!

Excellent choices on the menu, scallops we're cooked to perfection as they can be overcooked very easily. Table service was very attentive without being intrusive, good wine list at competitive prices. If you are looking for a great experience then book in advance for this is a little Gem with a great atmosphere.

Definitely would not recommend holding an event here.We arrived early to set up the room and there was chewed up chewing gum on top of the tables, so they clearly hasn’t been cleaned.There wasn’t enough chairs for everyone to sit on. We hired the room for 22 people to eat, how would you not provide enough chairs. Then when we asked for some extra, we were told that the restaurant was too busy to supply any extra chairs. The room capacity is larger than 22, there should absolutely be enough chairs for 22 people to sit on.Then the food…. We ordered a buffet which was absolutely not worth the money we paid, not in a million years.The food came 45 minutes late(or longer), there wasn’t enough food for the amount of people, they had cooked one person less. There was items missing. The items that were provided where shocking. The salad was a sad pathetic salad in a bowl, there weren’t enough chips, wasn’t enough sandwiches for even one per person, coleslaw was missing. Gravy was late. The vegetarian sandwich was so sad McDonald’s could have done a better job for half the price. Literally a huge ciabatta roll with two tiny vegetarian sausages shoved in the middle.For the same money we could have had a lovely meal at any other pub in the area.Then the room… I have no idea how anyone could think that the chosen decor would be aesthetically pleasing. Blue walls, teal walls, neon green cushions, red carpet, grey painted door. It’s a dive.Sticky, unclean, and ugly, with shockingly awful food.
