Tasty food, good range of choice, nice atmosphere, clean. Staff were excellent, attentive, efficient and friendly. Dog and child friendly as well as adult friendly.

Good food and good helpings. Friendly staff. Could do with beer on tap but we'll worth a visit.

My nan came for lunch the other day, she absolutely raved about the food - she brought her sister (in her 80’s), who’d driven from near Chester prior - loved it! (On recommendation). Great place for an eat out of all ages, and all

Went for afternoon tea today for Mother’s Day.An absolutely amazing gluten free afternoon tea, Suzanne came and spoke to me about my meal so I was happy with my options. This filled me with confidence as all the waitresses showed an excellent understanding of cross contamination and my dietary needs.All tasted absolutely amazing.Thankyou dolly’s!

I usually do a cons & pro’s list But no con’s really except perhaps portions too generous (though I now have a smaller appetite & they do offer small portions for a lot of dishes) So to the pros:- Friendly & accommodating staff who work very hard but still remember to check all is well The varied & well priced menu - from breakfast to evening meal (which we had on our first day in Darwen)! As neither of us were particularly hungry hubby opted for the small fish chips & mushy peas which he said was excellent! I asked could I just have a starter & I got - I selected the creamy garlic mushrooms on toast & then added a small portion of chips. Both were lovely. Both meals reasonably priced. We returned for Sunday lunch & opted for the roast pork dinner with seasonal vegetables etc. We also got a bottle of House Red as part of the deal. Overall everything was very nice though for me too much (hubby ate the lot) though I could have opted for the smaller plate. All the vegetables were lovely (though I left my peas & some of my parsnips). Stuffing didn’t look like I expected but pleasantly surprised, mash & roasties gorgeous. I also asked could I have my Yorkshire pudding on a side plate & was happily obliged by server. Again the serving staff & chef I think went above & beyond given that they had a large party of friends holding a baby shower too attend besides us & other diners. We were not forgotten & both server & chef checked we were enjoying. My final comment the house wine was very quaffable & the afternoon tea served too the baby shower party looked lovely. Would definitely visit again if in the area

Beautiful afternoon tea with mum and hubby. We enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea in the tea room which itself is super cute - ideal venue for a meal or a celebration. We were made to feel really welcome and the food was superb - I’ll deffo be back!
Great value £28 for three courses and entertainment. Could not fault the food, service or entertainment. If you haven’t booked your Christmas party yet check this place out. First Christmas party I’ve been to where we weren’t crammed in like sardines, lots of space to move about and to dance. Lovely hardworking staff too. Particular shout out to Suzanne who worked her socks off.

Great and best of all they do walk ins. No more bookings for 1.00 and yet table empty and it's 10.00. More tables now. Little bit more than average to pay for food, i.e., sandwiches. But worth

We hosted our wedding afternoon tea with dollys. Honestly cannot thank the ladies enough. Due to a delicate situation we had a short timescale and dollys fulfilled everything and more , the food is incredible and the service impeccable. So happy to support a small local business

Love visiting here for business meetings and/or lunch. Always a fabulous menu with great choices to suit the fussiest of needs. Lovely coffee too and I just love how tea is served in a lovely teapot and china cup. Highly recommended.
