"Provenance food hall and restaurant sits on the market street in westhoughton, and has always an impressive food hall of local fresh meat, cakes, products and the like, but also a restaurant on the top floor that I've never been before, so while I thought in westhoughton I would dip for a few breakfast. the restaurant area is located on a first etage mezzanine level, which looks down over parts of the food hall like a mine gallery. it is in bright and fresh neutral colors, grounded by a natural wood floor. light cascades in through the windows of sharpness on two walls. the glimpses through the recesses in the walls show further seating areas, for use in full restaurant of an evening. I took a menu from the bar and had read one. the breakfast offer looks good, but as I read the menu, I know that the rest of the menu also looks great! steak nights, grill evenings, afternoon teas and all kinds of other tempting things. I decide before ordering that I have to come back to the right restaurant in the evening. I decided to be sourded toast with hit butter and jam, and a pot birchall's English breakfast tea, and was told to take a place where I like, and it's brought. I decided to sit on one of the sharp windows and look beyond the market street. sitting on my own, I can see the fine quality finish on everything in this place; the restaurant is the same quality and fits like the food hall below, which means that everything is impeccable, modern and pleasant. the personal in the upper floor seems to be as friendly and helpful as well as the staff below. it feels very professional, while still very friendly. I watch other visitors who come to me, a mother and her children enjoy breakfast, order some ladies' who-lunch eier benedict, and order two young girls softdrinks. it is nice to see that it is a mix of customers. my breakfast is coming, beautifully presented, but to be honest, I would not have expected less from Provenance of what I have seen. the fairtrade tee is delicious, and the sourdough toast has an excellent crunch to it, the butter and jam both are of good quality, which means that it is a little pampered for its breakfast, which can never be a bad thing. it was a very tasty breakfast and cost less than four pounds. brilliant. great place, and I can see that the quality and service are here priority, so I am happy to try again the dinner sometime, and has already been recommended by another employee to book in advance due to popularity!"

"We came to celebrate our boys exam results and it was a treat for them however not one staff member acknowledged this and given we kept talking about it and was straight from exam results given out I was slightly disappointed especially as it was 10.30am and very quiet in the restaurant. We ordered 2 x full English and two other dishes and all had drink each bill was about £48 which I thought was reasonable for this day and age. I ordered a pate on toast and the menu said it came with chutney and salad which I was looking forward to, when I politely asked why mine didn't have any the waitress asked the manageress who explained due to it being breakfast time it wouldn't come with it, really that should have been pointed out upon ordering. The waitress was lovely BTW and was only able to give us what management told her. My partner wanted to order a toastie off the special menu however he was told we couldn't due to it being breakfast time and only one person cooking in the kitchen, we found this odd as the dish was no more difficult to make than a full cooked breakfast. Another dish was salmon and scrambled eggs which my son said tasted average, the milkshake tasted more of milk than anything else. The table also felt sticky. All in all slightly disappointed as it always looks very appealing on Facebook posts and walking past but I didn't feel we received a product or service that would warrant more than 3 stars."
