There’s a house in Burnley we grew up in, filled with the hum of conversation, the clatter of dishes, and the unmistakable scent of something delicious bubbling away on the stove. A place where laughter echoed through the rooms, where stories were shared across the dining table, and where everyone was welcome. 

 

We celebrate nostalgia, home-style cooking, and the joy of sharing meals, but we also embrace international flavours, just like our mum did when she experimented in her kitchen. Each dish is personal – from our grandad’s expert touch as a baker to the little secrets our grandma left behind in her cooking, and, of course, our mum’s legendary butterscotch, made in a way you won’t find anywhere else.

Dempsey’s isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an invitation to sit, share, indulge and feel at home. Whether you’re here for a taste of tradition, a comforting classic, or a flavour that surprises you, you’ll find a place at our table or something delicious to take away at our deli. 

 

Welcome to Dempsey’s – where every meal tells a story, and every guest is family.
