The Zen has been serving Chinese, Thai and Malaysian cuisine since 2010, establishing itself as one of the Fylde coast’s most popular oriental restaurants.
Its fame even spread to Hollywood when, in 2015, Samuel L Jackson visited the venue whilst filming Ms Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children in Blackpool.
