This is somewhere we should all use as it is such a magnificent place to have in our town. It is not very well advertised but if you can manage to find out...

A quaint theatre based in the centre of town. Its got quite a small capacity which makes it feel like you are watching a show in your living room. They dont... Speisekarte ansehen

Came for a family meal with my 92 year old dad, very accomodating for his wheelchair. We had great service together with great food at reasonable prices. What's not to love. Would definitely recommend

Cakes sandwiches were all good... The staff were great .. The room beautifully decorated.. I would recommend anyone to go there. I will definitely be going back soon...

We visit The Mechanics regularly and are never disappointed. We here in Burnley are lucky to have this super venue. Modern yet full of our towns history. We enjoy lunches there with friends and family, helpful friendly staff and a really good menu. In the evening we always book a table before the show, it's a complete evening out in the same venue. Have a meal relax in the bar and enjoy the great entertainment. What's not to like Speisekarte ansehen

My wife and I enjoy having lunch at the Burnley Mechanics 1855 Bistro every week. The restaurant and bar areas are wonderful, and we always have trouble deciding where to sit. There is a wide variety of choices on the menu, with specials offered most days. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The staff, especially Debbie and Vicky, always take great care of us and put up with my antics. I appreciate the banter and their excellent service. They are truly an asset to the Mechanics. Keep up the great work, girls! - Pete Chris

A theatre restaurant owned and run by a Council wouldn't have been high on my list of likely candidates for a great meal. The Mechanics Institute Theatre has obviously had considerable funds invested in producing an extremely high quality venue. The ambience, the fittings and the facilities are at the standard of the very best West End restaurants. The members of staff and the service was of a similar high standard and very much 5 star. The menu is a little limited but the food itself is simply superb fresh food, beautifully cooked and presented. The 1855 Bistro is now marked as one of our favourite choices for a great meal.

Went the Cat's Whiskers Reunion in September (which was brilliant! so thought the Carribean themed Christmas would be just as good. It was all decked out quite beautifully and there were some people there to greet the party goers which was a really nice touch. I prefer my food to be less well cooked and in the starter the large prawn on top was off, but when I mentioned this I was told that it was all fresh that day! My taste-buds know when something is fresh! The young waiting staff were very polite and eager to please. Also I'd sent information to the chef about my dietary needs: I hope he'll research what is required for a Healthy Keto diet in future. The band were good but I expected a b... Speisekarte ansehen
