The Cherry Tree at Blackrod

My wife and I came here for a date night and had such an amazing evening. The greeting was warm and welcoming, the decor is beautiful and the waiters and waitresses were attentive also. The cocktails made by Kian behind the bar, were absolutely exceptional. He made one of, if not the best Old Fashioned I’ve ever had. The starters were amazing, just the right portion size and absolutely delicious. I order the smash burger for my main course and if I’m being honest, was a little disappointed. The bun was dry and too big for the patties. The patties themselves I felt could have been seasoned more and the bacon jam lacked any real depth of flavour. I am a big burger fan and this one left me wanting. I also upgraded to the Truffle Parmesan fries and they were great. Crispy outer skin, but fluffy inside and packed full of truffle & Parmesan flavour, I highly recommend these. My wife’s main however was delicious. She ordered the King Prawn Rigatoni Pasta. Great portion and full of flavour. Both deserts were spectacular. I would have preferred cream over ice cream, but that’s just personal preference. Overall we had a great experience here and would definitely go again.

Absolutely love it here, the food is fabulous, well cooked, tastes amazing. Service is amazing staff are friendly and there is a good vibe between them all no negativity. Atmosphere is brilliant we stopped for the football and felt very welcomed, the cocktails are amazing, we’re new to the area and I can see this becoming our local❤️

The Cherry Tree is well known in the local area, and rightly so. We’ve been coming here for years and it genuinely seems to get better and better. The food, the service, the restaurant itself and the overall atmosphere are consistently excellent. On our most recent visit, we opted for the Sharing Surf & Turf Platter for 2 (£89.95). This included a carved 16oz centre cut fillet steak, garlic king prawns, truffle and parmesan fries, tenderstem broccoli with chilli butter and sauces of your choice. The steak was cooked to perfection. Faultless. Soft, tender and packed with flavour. The prawns were juicy, the broccoli had a great bite to it and the truffle fries disappeared far too quickly. There was plenty of food too, making it feel like a proper treat without leaving disappointed. To finish, we shared the White Chocolate & Vanilla Crème Brûlée with raspberries and raspberry gel. A very generous portion and a brilliant end to the meal. It’s a great place for a special occasion or a classy night out, offering city-centre quality without having to venture into Manchester. The menu is varied, so there’s something for everyone. It’s certainly not the cheapest, but you never feel ripped off because everything is so consistently on point. Verdict: One of the best restaurants in the area. Consistently excellent and well worth the visit. 🍽️ Paying customer | Honest review

Absolutely fantastic find. Wonderful staff who were so attentive. It was my dad’s 82nd birthday and they made a fuss of him which was lovely. The food was excellent def a step up from pub food. A real different menu which was nice to see. Everything we ordered was excellent we will def be back !

Lovely place, well worth a visit if your in the area, The decor was fantastic and food and service were impeccable. We had a problem with the table (missing a foot so kept wobbling) but once the manager was made aware she fixed it immediately. Really nice place and would deffo go back
