Love the atmosphere at the Cafe, and loving the real ale selection! I like nothing more than a relaxing Sunday afternoon at Artisan :o)
I eat lunch at Artisan every Saturday and the food is lovley. Well priced and a lovley atmosphere.
I used to live in Rossendale, but I now live and work away, I was home a couple of months ago and Cafe Artisan is the best place in Rossendale, nice to visit, relaxed and nothing is wrong, food, atmosphere, drinks all very good, cant say anything bad, traveled the world and never thought I would see a place like this in Rossendale. All the best to the owners and staff, keep up the good work. Si
Still the best place by far in our lovely town, what would we do without you both? ( probably drink a lot less Pinot Grigio!! ) look forward to a summer of drinking outside…
This is run by the nicest couple who will bend over backwards to cater for you. There are vegge options on all the simple main courses and some vegan bits and bobs too like their fab chilli. It is simple no fuss and great value for money. The organic wines are great value and the owner, Tim makes all his shots fresh, so expect some ‘oomph’ in the vodka chilli shot!!
Best omlettes in the UK, friendly service and a relaxing place to eat lunch with friends.
Hi, it’s Jules AKA Edge from the U2 Tribure “Rattle and Hum”. We played the Artisan last Saturday (17th May). Just wanted to congratulate Tim on such a great little venue. Nice grub too! Thanks also to the terrific audience, you blew us away with your singing! All the best Jules.
Hi Tim Just a quick note to thank you for allowing us the opportunity to play for you last night and for the genuine hospitality shown to the band. We had a blast and we hope we can do it again soon. You have a wonderful venue, matched only by your positive attitude, enthusiasm and passion for your business. You deserve to succeed and we will spread the word, that at last the valley has a venue to be proud of. See you soon.
Best Wishes… Marsha, Kelvin, Rick, Pete and Chris Cuillin Blue
Tim and Nicola, on behalf of Cuillin Blue just want to say thanks for your hospitality on Saturday- Cafe Artisan is THE outstanding venue for bands and customers alike, all the staff are uniformly welcoming and accomodating, great atmosphere, great food and an appealing and extensive(!)drinks menu. We all had a great night and are very much looking forward to the next one - I’ve no doubt you’ll be seeing some of us before then too!
All the very best, Pete.
Thanks for the opportunity to play at the Cafe last month. We had a ball. Really welcoming and a great crowd. Hope to be able to come back in the new year.
If you’ve never been, then your missing out! It’s the best place this side of VEGAS. Great food, great booze and fantastic entertainment. Watched the Led Zepplin tribute band the other night. Fantastic !! Keep up the good work Nic and Tim.
cheers for the gig! had a great time,cracking venue,great sound, CHEERS!!!!!!
Big thanks to Tim for the hospitality and the booking. Cracking night, really enjoyed the gig, hopefully see you soon. Rock on! State of Quo.
Cafe Artisan has a lovely relaxed atmosphere, great coffee and tasty well priced selection of sandwiches, paninis, and larger meals.
Its also kid friendly, with a good healthy choice of sandwiches and meals. With plenty of toys/books to keep them occupied.
This is very friendly & trendy bar only 2 mins walk from Bank street Rawtentall. There is a great selection of beers including draft Peroni & a selection of nice wines.
The decor is cool and the ambience is perfect, there is also a great choice of delicious bar snacks too.
By far the best bar in Rawtenstall - once inside, you would think you were in an upper-class, trendy Manchester establishment. The drinks are a little bit more pricey than the usual “run-of-the-mill” watering holes in the town, but this is far in excess of “run-of-the-mill” and well worth paying the extra money for. However, when compared with similar type venues in other, larger towns and cities, the prices appear average. The food is great too, with a good selection - the wedges and dips are my top tip! The atmosphere is fantastic - there is a great vibe about the place. The music is loud, but not too loud so that you cannot hold a conversation. There is comfortable seating too, which is just a great bonus and helps you to relax. On summer days, when the sun is cracking the flags, there are numerous tables to the front of the bar - actually outside on a small patio area - the perfect place to sit with a chilled bottle of wine or a cold beer on a hot summers evening. The staff are always very accommodating, and not once have they attempted to hurry us out the door after having consumed food and drinks. The staff are always friendly and chatting - despite being (usually) run off their feet. Overall, the best place in town!
This lovely bar with mezzanine has turned around the fortunes of those of us that want a bit of chilled out space in town. The couple who run it are great, the staff are friendly and the choice of drinks really good. Tim makes all his own shots, the chilli one being the best. Food is good, even for veggies and there is rumour of great value organic wines on the menu for Spring. Check out the comedy night once a month for some top laughs too.
How refreshing to stumble across such an inviting eatery, which manages to achieve an effortless balance of cool overtones, excellent fresh food, welcoming staff and a reassuring lack of pretension. I firmly recommend this to fellow discerning customers in search of the perfect cafe bar.
A real gem! Lovely interior, very friendly, helpful staff. Menu has lots of choices all of which sound so tempting it was hard to know what to pick. The food is really fresh and the ingredients are the quality you would buy for yourself and family, rather than the cheaper catering alternatives which so many places serve up. I would recommend with confidence to anyone.
Just a small note to say a big thankyou for making our evening so enjoyable. my friends and i will definately be back for more food, drinks and entertainment! a fantastic evening was had by all and look forward to coming agin in the future!
Tim and Nicola, we had a great time at yours last week, look forward to the next one, this is a cool venue,check it out.
p.s. could you please link to http://www.rideon.me.uk thank you, the boys at ride on.
cheers to tim and nicola from the boys in ride on, loved the gig last week, great venue,great crowd, hope to see you soon,chris.
We absolutely love coming to Artisan. As soon as you step through the doors, you forget you are in Rossendale - and what could be better than that on a dreary evening? The cocktails are fab (and often lethal), the vodka shots are to die for (especially Uncle Joe’s Mintballs), the atmosphere is terrific and the staff are second to none.
Many a fantastic evening has been spent at Artisan and hopefully many more in the future. (Will be there for my birthday in 3 weeks).
Thanks a lot xxx
Last Saturday I came down to see ‘Hot Fuss’ with my wife and three friends. I have not previously been to Café Artisan and I must say the band and setting were excellent and we had a great time and I think everyone who was there would agree. We will definitely be watching out for other live bands you have there.
We would highly recommend that you get Hot Fuss back there at some stage as we would love to see them again. They are a high quality outfit and well exceeded our expectations.
Kind regards,
Lee
Thanks Tim for making the band, Beaver, feel welcome and the excellent set up. A great crowd in a great venue.
A fantastic evening and recomend to anyone a good night out at the Cafe- Atrisan.
Best wishes and hope to see you soon.
