Blackpool Restaurant Week

Blackpool’s first-ever Restaurant Week (27th March – 3rd April 2025) was a huge success, with over 25 venues taking part across the town. With set menus and 2-for-1 deals, pop-ups and chef takeovers. It really brought the local food and drink scene to life, with businesses thrilled to be part of something special.

The good news is that it’s back from 12–19 March 2026, building on the buzz with even more venues involved. Restaurants across the town are offering special menus and deals to encourage people to eat out, try new places and support local businesses.

It’s a fantastic opportunity to explore some of Blackpool’s hidden gems and discover what the town has to offer, all while supporting the hospitality industry. Abingdon Street Market will also be the heart of the event with pop-up kitchens and live demos.

Blackpool Restaurant Week Returns – with More Venues!

The week brings together a wide range of venues, from long-standing family-run favourites to independents and well-known names. There’s already more businesses signed up to take part than last year. 

This year it takes place across different parts of Blackpool, including the town centre, Red Bank Road and Highfield Road. You’ll have the chance to explore different areas and discover somewhere you’ve never been before to eat.

Many participating venues will offer family-friendly options alongside their Restaurant Week menus. Including child-friendly dishes, sharing plates and offers designed for groups and families eating out together. A programme of events and activities will also run during the week. So there’s more reasons to visit venues across the town.

Blackpool Restaurant Week is delivered by Blackpool BIDs, bringing together Blackpool Town Centre BID and Blackpool Tourism BID, working with local partners to support the hospitality sector. It’s designed to encourage footfall, bring people through doors and highlight the range of food businesses operating across Blackpool.

Support Local Venues

It’s a time when hospitality businesses are feeling the pinch. Initiatives like this help encourage people to eat out, try somewhere new and support local venues.

Family attraction Coral Island has been confirmed as headline sponsor, supporting the event and helping to raise its profile across the resort. Confirmed venues already include Beach House Bar & Restaurant, Abingdon Street Market, Michael Wan’s Mandarin, Umami, Bella Italia, Limoncello and Yorkshire Fisheries. More venues and offers to be announced in the coming weeks.

Students from Blackpool and The Fylde College will once again be involved during the week, gaining experience in local venues and learning more about careers in hospitality. Blackpool’s connection with fish and chips will also feature during Restaurant Week alongside a wide range of cuisines.

Participation in Blackpool Restaurant Week is free for businesses, and restaurants across the town are still invited to take part. For more information, email marketing@blackpoolbid.org. Updates and a full list of participating venues will be available at www.blackpoolrestaurantweek.co.uk.
