Sounds like it has gone down a bit since my days
Did you once own it?

What's the Auberge like these days?
I went in Febraury of this year. The food was decent but the decor was pretty horrible in my opinion.
They sometimes have weird and wonderful food on, such as springbok and so on.
I had homemade soup followed by venison steak with wild peppercorn sauce, was good.

OK Blackburn area
Best pub food .... Millstones at Mellor. (dont choose the bland fish and chips though.)
Best Indian / Pakistani (eat in and take away)... Bukhara at Samlesbury.
(special mention for ravenous late night beer heads..... Khyber )
Best Thai... Little Elephant at Darwen.
Best Chinky... Ocean Palace at Darwen.
When I say best I mean by quite some distance.
btw Clitheroe / Whalley has a fine selection too.
Best pub food - Bulls Head (not been to the Millstone yet)
Best Indian / Pakistani (eat in and take away) - Saga Premier (Just off Walton Summit juntion of the m65). More local it has to be Sukhi's in my opinion. I also give a special mention for ravenous late night beer heads..... Khyber or Shandar
Best Thai - I only know of one round these parts and it was good, so little elephant it is.
Best Italian - Algheros
Best Contemporary English - Thyme @ the Sirloin
Best Chinese - Holy Tree, Feniscowles (tiny (cosy) restaurant, top notch food, little on the expernsive side though)
Special Mention - DUK, Preston.
Best for a quick lunch - Cafe Beees, Blackburn town centre
Worst Restaurant - Cafe Stylo, Blackburn town centre

I know the Walton Le Dale one, but don't think the two were connected. Not even sure the subterranean Preston one was called Pinocchio's either. I think it began with a P though. Between Jeans Junction and Yum Yums.
That is correct. It is next to Yum Yums - across from Manjanas bar. It is a real hidden find in my opinion, it is just a door which leads down to an old cellar. I would never have entered it walking past to be honest.
Reminds me of a place a once found in Portugal - just a door which lead into a a bar then into a restaurant. It was the best Piri-Piri i have ever eaten.

Okay - Duk is a tapas restaruant with a difference. I really, really recommend it. It was one of the best restaurants i have been to for a while.
The menu is available Here - BE WARNED IT IS EXTENSIVE.
Read some of the reviews on sugarvine.
Also, looking forward to when the Clog and Billycock (Pleasington) opens as a 3 fishes type pub, which will also be part of the Nigel Howarth empire.

It was superb!

I have heard very good things about a restaurant in Preston called DUK. So i rang last week to book a table, a waiting list of 5 weeks. So in the middle of May i will be able to say whether it is good or not.

is the kyber cafe still open?
It most certainly is, i often enjoy a curry from there after leaving Jazzy Kexs at 4am. The naan breads aka as tennis rackets are amazing and the chicken tikka is yellow instead of bright red.
I have even had it sober and it was still good.
I have to say though Sukhis is my fav.
