Burnley Restaurants
Despite having a smaller Asian population that some of its neighbouring towns, Burnley is home to a number of particularly good Indian restaurants. The Forest Inn and the Fence Gate Inn lie are few miles north of the centre and are widely regarded as two of the best dining pubs in the UK. The Fat Giraffe in Padiham is also well worth a visit.
