About
Renamed 1855 Bistro & Bar tying into the date the Mechanics first opened its doors as the Mechanics Institute, an educational setting to better the workforce of industrial Burnley. This popular town centre bistro at The Mechanics Theatre offers a lunchtime oasis for shoppers, workers and groups of friends to meet in a cosy and relaxed space. A menu of British staples with some modern twists is served Tuesday to Saturday 11am-2:30pm in either the light and modern Front Room or cosy more intimate, Lounge Bar space. Classic, crowd-pleasing dishes such as fish and chips and steak in ale pie, sit alongside modern favourites on this fresh seasonal menu which also boasts, of course, our famous proper chips.
