Food came out quickly but I thought the tea wasn’t very nice. Plus the pots are a bit small, barely get a cup out of them

The venue was a midway point to meet up with friends for a casual lunch. There was very little wait time for our meals to be delivered which we all thoroughly enjoyed. It was quite busy but we didn't feel rushed. The service was outstanding.

We ordered the cheeky Benedict’s and Wagyu Beef balls pasta and both tastes delicious. Coffees are perfect too. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. It was a pleasant experience and we would definitely become their regular customers.

Held a meeting over breakfast. Attendees came from outside the local area. They all loved what they had and said they would like to come back to Food Republic again for a future meeting. It was a hit! Thanks to John and your staff.

An excellent choice in Blackburn for my husband’s birthday lunch. The Food Republic did not disappoint. The only negative - the substantial mains course meant we were unable to eat even a small serving of dessert afterwards. We recommend the Syrian Chicken.
