Blackburn Halal Travel Guide

Although the town has some attractive public buildings and parks, it is mostly known for its contribution to the cotton weaving industry and for its successful premiership football team, Blackburn Rovers. Due to the town's association with cotton, it was a natural choice for early immigrants from cotton producing countries, such as Pakistan and India, to settle. Consequently, Blackburn is a great place to sample South Asian cuisine. After years of industrial decline and the town is undergoing a 'quiet' renaissance with fast rising property prices. The name Blackburn is derived from the river Blakewater, which runs through the centre of town. Famous visitors to Blackburn include Condoleezza Rice, HM King Charles III and Mahatma Gandhi.

Halal Restaurants & Food in Blackburn

Blackburn has the usual run of places to eat at a budget level - McDonalds, Pizzas Express, Chiquito, Wetherspoon etc. The town centre also has a large number of takeaways and restaurants - many being Curries houses and Halal Kebab shops. The quality of these changes quite rapidly, but thit is a quick list of a few good affordable to mid level places:

• Shahi Qila , just outside the town centre but worth the 5 minutes walk Curry

}} Chinese Buffet in a converted pub by the side of the Town Hall

• La Mama , out towards the Ice Rink Italian

• Sahara Darwen Street - Asian Cafe

• Tea and butties (sandwiches)/ pies / chips - any of the cafés in the Market Hall.
• Exchange Coffee House Fleming Plaza
• Rhubarb Café Church Street - in the Blackburn Visitor centre Light meals / paninis etc.

• Cafe Beez Church Street -

Upmarket is a bit harder and there isn't really much in the centre. Locally try:

• Stanley House , Blackburn side of Mellor village 5 minutes drive away boutique hotel and expensive restaurant. The food is good and the value is more questionable and the decor is over the top.

• Millstone , centre of Mellor Country pub and hotel. Comfortable place with good food, good portions and an OK quality/ value mix.

• Clog and Billycock , Pleasington village on the outskirts of the town Self-consciously 'country pub' GastroPub from a group with 2 other similar ventures. Good food and reasonable quality / value mix.

• The Market Hall (especially on the full market days - 3 days a week) is a good source for some excellent local food - Black Pudding, cheeses, breads, curries, fruit and veg. Some of the cafés do seriously good value meals as well although it probably isn't the venue for a romantic lunch for two.

Stay Safe

Like several towns in the North West, Blackburn in recent years has seen an increasing phenomenon of racial separation between whites and Muslim Asians in certain areas of the town although it successfully avoided the riots that plagued neighbouring towns such as Burnley and Oldham. The majority of people in Blackburn are perfectly nice and tolerant, but there are still significant numbers of racists and bigots with both the White and Asian communities, who are more than willing to make life difficult for people they dislike.

Telecommunications

The area code for Blackburn is 01254.
