Lockdown Kitchen & Bar — Restaurant in Chorley

Lockdown burger!!!

OK, before I start on the food I would just like to say that the staff, decor and ambience were very nice. One thing I don't usually make a comment on is the music playlist, which was brilliant. Gorillaz - Melancholy Hill, Cage the Elephant, Arctic Monkeys. Some very good choons in there that added to the atmosphere perfectly.

On to the food. I haven't had a Lockdown burger in ages and have been really looking forward to visiting the restaurant.

Found myself wandering around Chorley, desperately hungry, and not knowing where to go. Spotted LB was open and couldn't believe my luck. Didn't think it would be open so early on a Saturday.

Now, I could tell from the waiter's wry smile that I was unintentionally grinning from ear to ear. I must have appeared keyed up in general as my wife took a picture of me without my knowledge and posted it on Facebook with the caption 'Burger anticipation'.

I ordered the Lockdown burger with Salt n Pepper Chicken Fries. Wife ordered The Big Kahuna burger which I had a bite of and found to be very nice indeed. I may have to try it next time or at least work my way through the menu. (She wasn't offered a taste of my burger. Terrible of me really.) We also ordered a side of Duck Bao Buns.

My burger lasted approximately 37.4 seconds. One second I was picking it up, the next I was trying to figure out how to use a napkin in a dignified manner, knowing full well what I actually needed was a shower.

I made an involuntary noise when I finished my burger. Something along the lines of 'Urrrrrr'. I realised very quickly this was loud enough for the other patrons to hear. I was only mildly embarrassed as the burger definitely deserved the noise. I must have eaten it pretty fast because even though me and the wife have been together 20 years and she's seen me hoover up countless delicacies, she still said 'That was impressive.' When I finished.

I begrudgingly shared the Salt n Pepper Chicken Fries with her, which were delicious, as they have been every other time I've ordered them.

The Duck Bao Buns were fun to eat and also incredibly tasty, and added a nice different taste after the burger.

Can't wait to go again.

Have recommended to many, many people. Keep up...

We hadn't booked a table but we were welcomed in and seated quickly upstairs and given a choice of were to sit, we chose a window seat( love to people watch). We were given menus and given time to choose. I already knew what I wanted however, my partner, struggled making his choice of burger 🍔, wanting them all!! (Maybe mini tapas burgers could be invented?? ) He settled on LFC and fries eventually, and for me S&P chicken n fries with curry sauce. We ordered drinks, and food. Drinks came about 10 mins later. Time passed and we needed to order more drinks. We then had someone come over apologising for our wait on food, Our order had gone to someone else by mistake ,but ours would be with us soon. No worries, we weren't rushing. We hadnt noticed the time other than second drink reorder...Our food came a few minutes later. Food was amazing, my partner barely breathing between bites and conversation was stopped in its tracks. I don't often complain about portion size but was upset I could only manage half my portion of S&P chicken n Fries. However, I could have it boxed to take away, but declined. My partner even ate a piece of chicken only daring to ask once he knew I was truly done! During the feast, another order came like ours but had a LFC burger and cheese n onion fries , obviously we were eating , so not ours.....we didn't think anything more of it... Dam, I had really wanted a dessert the choice looked so tempting...but it wasn't to be. We went down to the bar to pay, I usually check my bill, but didn't , (couldn't be bothered getting my glasses out tbh) - I had a rough idea of cost. It was a little more than expected but not much. In the morning I checked and saw a charge for cheese and onion pie fries with the LFC burger ....oh well, not to bother I didn't tip ( couldn't see top choice tut!! No glasses) so consider this your tip and we'll call it quits, because your food is amazing and I...

Went here on Thursday night. 09/01/25

Beautiful place. Was greeted by a very friendly young man. He said we could sit upstairs if it was too cold downstairs. We opted for down however as there where other people in and it had a nice atmosphere.

So it was our first time coming here. I can't believe I've actually waited so long after seeing the other reviews. Plus it's literally a 1 min walk from my house.

We went for the lockdown burger with the loaded salt and pepper chicken fries and two pints of blue moon to wash it down with I got a coca cola aswell otherwise the pint would have been gone far to quickly.

The burger was presented beautifully please see my photos. It tasted out of this world perfectly seasoned and cooked perfectly.

The loaded fries were next level. Portion size was incredible could have been a main meal on there own. Chicken stripes were cooked amazingly well. Again seasoned to perfection. Fries had curry sauce on them. Proper chip shop style. With fresh chilli's on top.

We got chatting to Chloe who I have to give a special mention to as her customer service was on top form. We asked a few questions about the place and she answered everything perfectly. Such a polite person and genuinely interested in chatting to us.

The whole experience from walking in the door to leaving was nothing less than exceptional!

Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu.

Thank you very much for a wonderful...
