Where do I start....I was blown away by the four course vegan plant based menu priced at £12 the catering students at Blackburn College, created, cooked and served at Scholars. I and my husband went for lunch and the whole experience far exceeded our expectations, the food was amazing, beautifully presented, cooked, seasoned and was an absolute delight to eat. This is accomplished, confident cooking and yet the chefs are only aged 16 to 19 and their talents put to shame many of the places I have dined, where the vegan food has been a token gesture, an after thought of just putting any old rubbish on the plate. Scholars vegan food was well thought out, creative, exciting and cooked with passion. These are our chefs of the future, how lucky are we. I had a chat with student chefs Imogen and Gem (who made our mushroom dish & dessert respectively) who were so enthusiastic about their cooking. The front of house team were equally as good, serving the dishes and making sure we had drinks etc and checking if we liked the food. Credit is due to their mentor Head Chef Dave and Restaurant Manager Karen for introducing a vegan plant based menu. I cannot wait to go back.
You won't regret a visit to this amazing restaurant - you will need to plan in advance, so don't expect to walk in. Do expect top class service, beautiful food and a relaxed environment. Please don't forget to leave a tip - it means an awful lot to the students, and seeing as the 4 course menu is less than £15 a head it really would be rude not to.
We had our Christmas meal here today from Arts 2 Heal. It was fantastic, every course was simply perfect!! The friendly staff were so lovely and made us all feel so welcome, nothing was too much trouble. Defo recommend. Thank you!!
