We had our baby shower at Artisan on Saturday and it was the most perfect day! The staff were incredible and went above and beyond to make our day special and stress free. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using Artisan for future events. Thanks again to everyone involved!

We were in this bar for a hen do on Saturday night. We were there for over 3 hours & we had 6 drinks in this time & charged 5 different prices for the same drinks. Ranging from £10 to £15 for 2 gin & tonics. Didn't notice till I looked at bank statement. Also the drinks tasted watered down.

A nice, well presented place, efficient & friendly staff, & the female singer that evening had a great voice & repertoire + great interaction with all of us customers - gracias! We didn't eat, just drinks (& the free nuts).

The family and I visited the Artisan cafe for a drink following a walk on the moors..The cafe boasts a convenient location in Darwen town centre, a great selection of drinks, and stylish decor. Service was great thanks to a friendly host, however the cafe itself was very quiet but it was a Sunday so this is likely to be the reason..Definitely return when walking in and around the Darwen moors.

Wedding last week hot buffet was lovely
Adam Baron
The worst buffet I have ever had. All deep fried and the chicken legs were so dry and over cooked. Can’t believe how much they charge for drinks and they can’t even put a half decent spread on for a functionowner was taking money out of the bandit after anyone went on it and was very abusive to staff

Had my daughters 30th on 25th february I couldn't ask for more great buffet good music and friendly service from the bar staff kept in contact with the owner throughout he was very attentive, lovely man would recommend to have any parties here thankyou
Took my neices and nephew tonight for a birthday meal and was very impressed. Was a beautiful setting and the man looking after us popped us in a quiet booth making it feel special and he couldn’t have been more attentive. Food was lovely too. Great little place.

Couldn't organise a p*ss up in a brewery ?♀️Went to a 40th party there and the owner was advised there would be 50+ people attending at 7pm. He arranged One staff and himself to serve us all night. Ran out of wine and beers. The food was bought from the local supermarket. I had to ask twice for them to put more loo roll in the ladies.I don't know how he's kept that place going

This was average at best, nothing “artisan” about it and was nothing to shout and dance about. The food was ok but like I say, didn’t think much of it. The prices are very overpriced for what you get. I could probably make the same, if not better myself, at home. Not what you really expect paying them prices, you expect better. The bar area seemed grubby and not very clean also. Wouldn’t go again by choice, I know a few other eateries/drinkeries cheaper and better in my personal opinion.
