Ambiance lost because of furniture change the lounge was more convivial with the older leather bound seating they were more suited to the original concept of the rococo atmosphere...as usuall the ways of management are not always what people desire....it now feels a bit odd it is not supposed to be modern beware of being trendy. .. read more

I grew up in Morecambe and saw the Midland hotel during its decline, whilst it was a boarded up haunted art Deco hotel and for the first time I've now been back since its great renovation. From the outside I was a little disappointed as for me the minimalist art Deco look has always been clean lines, tick, and bright clean bold color or white, cross. The exterior was an off white with and to be honest looked like it needed a good painting. Being on the seafront is probably the reason for this but it just didn't have the wow that I had been imagining. The interior is great, some parts are hit and miss but the majority is hit. Floor to ceiling glass panels surround a large part of the sea facing wall so its a great place to sit and watch the world go by. We ate at the cafe across to the right from the entrance, but had to sit in an isolated booth area because there were four of us. All the sea facing tables only seated 3 which was a little disapointing but a short walk down the stone jetty afterwards made up for this. Now onto the food! The food tasted great and was presented really well on wooden boards. I was only after something small so ordered the bread and olives which turned out to be a large platter with three types of home cooked bread, olive oil, balsamic and green & black olives. The ploughman's platter looked and tasted great as well. I definitely recommend paying a visit to the Midland if in Morecambe whether it be for lunch, some people watch or both. read more

Always walked past here when I've been in Morecambe so was excited to see what lied within.... From the outside I can see where they're coming from with the minimalist look but as James G said we did think the painting was pretty off white and didn't look as sleek as it was intended. We ate in the slightly more relaxed café part which has great floor to ceiling windows so you can enjoy the seaview- brilliant. We had 5 of us in our party so unfortunately we had to sit in one of the isolated booths around the corner so unfortunately that wasn't the best view. The booths themselves were bright red and purple (I think) which did make it feel a little like a wacky warehouse and I would have looked to see the sea instead. You do have to order at the bar, which personally for me (with experience of being a waitress) thought it wasn't really the dining experience I was going for. If you're bringing over food and drinks you may as well ad table service onto it to make it that little bit more special. I opted for the ploughmans, as I've always had a weakness for pork pies... This didn't disappoint however it was served with SO much bread- not totally needed, pickled onions were lovely, pie was good however appley bit on top was just a little bit too sweet for me, olives and chutney were also good and I liked the salad. The portions are massive here so arrive hungry! James G had bread and oil and also received SO much bread- just loads more than needed! James G's Mum ordered the fish and chips which is their signature dish which looked and tasted amazing! Top marks for proper chips! On a side note, the toilets are joined but have separate staircases. They are well looked after and loo rolls even have that 'point' made in them, like at big hotels! Random but it impressed me. Only thing about the toilets is that the hand dryers are put behind the sinks, so you have to lean over and put your face right next to the mirror to use them....very strange!! Will definitely come here again when we visit Morecambe it does have the wow factor and the building and view itself is a conversation starter-very interesting place, well done! read more

Unfortunately, the service at the Rotunda Bar was abysmal. 6-7 bar staff stood having a chat whilst 1 admittedly does her best to serve everyone else. The food somewhat made for the lack of service, as it was excellent. We had the American fries and nachos which was more than enough for two people, well presented and delicious. The food wasn't cheap, but it wasn't too expensive either considering how good it was. The chef has carried you on this one! As good a sea view as you're going to get in Morecambe but don't expect to be blown away by the interior design! read more
