Postal Order

Reading all the reviews about the postal order, i wanted to comment on them- question is what do you expect to get in a pub located in Blackburn? some five star service?Its a Pub for god sake.. Yeah maybe you do have to wait to get served a bit longer when its busy, but how do u expect to serve at least 100 customers with 10 bar staff all at once? Use your head people, they are doing their best! The drinks ARE cheap, food IS ok... but yet again people still complain, if they do serve cheap drinks, you wont see all the business people there drinking, will you? so deal with it! Bar staff are stressed sometimes, because they can't smile and be cheerful all the time ...  Read the complete review

Excellent quality real ale that has got to be one of the best choices in the area. Bar staff are a good laugh; Justin "the trouser snake" and Paul "The Virgin". On occassions the totty is pretty good although it is a good idea to scout around before you go in for the kill. Raymond is part of the fixture and fittings. The only draw back is the number of scroates and the fact that children are able to go into the establishment....often breaking the licence of the pub as their parents do not have a meal there. They are noisy gob shi*es ...  Read the complete review

Just does not have the 'friendly relaxed' atmosphere of other Weatherspoons I have visited - Advantages: Cheap food and drink, Lovely building - Disadvantages: 'Bad' atmosphere, Cheap beer = loads of daytime drunkards, Its in Blackburn

Having read the other two opinions on the Postal Order in Blackburn I felt that I really had to write my own. As an "older" person (35) apparently it is one of the better places to go. The reasons for this being that the drinks are cheap, the food is good and there is no music so you can talk easier. Well I am sorry but even though I may be a little over the hill to go to places such as Utopia, The Jam or the T bar I still like background music when I go out and I still love to be able to have a dance. There is little or no atmosphere in the Postal Order. It is usually full of very drunk old men. I don't like the segregation of smoking and none ...  Read the complete review

Before going on a night out my first point of call is The Postal Order. Why? Well let me tell you. The drinks are so cheap that i was so shocked the first time I went in and bought a round. I couldnt believe it that I had to ask the barperson if they had charged the correct price. But, yes it was correct. I actually left a pub with some money. WOW!!! It is quite a large pub too and also do excellent food. Children are welcome too until 7pm. The only drawback that I have to mention is there is no music. OK so some people dont want to go into a pub and have music blaring into their ears, but what about some backgroung music? ...  Read the complete review
