I have been to this lovely place a few times and I have never disappointed. BF of mine lives in…read moreGarstang so this place is fab to go to for lunch and even better in the evening. The building is from the 18th century with low ceilings and oak beams. The walls are a mixture of stone and rustic texture. Modern furnishings with nice atmosphere. The a la carte menu has lots of choices. The starter of pan seared king scallops, butternut squash & pancetta purée with lemon foam delicious. The pan seared sea trout with shrimp and fennel sauce yummy. The puddings are so gorg it's hard to make a decision of what to have. I love the idea of their trio puddings as it gives you the chance for a taste sensation. If you live within a 20 mile radius this place is definitely worth a visit. Xoxo

Old-fashioned (in a nice way) pub. There are several different rooms so there's always a cosy…read morelittle nook or cranny to squeeze yourself into :-) There's also outside seating at the front of the pub where you can watch this busy little town go about its daily business whilst enjoying a well kept beer - Robinson's. When I last dined here I had a lovely home made steak pie with chips and veg, the menu has all the usual pub favourites plus an interesting specials board adds variety. We were slightly annoyed on our last visit because the young waiter was very pushy with the check at the end of meal almost to the extent that we didn't feel like we were trusted. Hopefully that was just a one off experience though. There's a lot of competition on the pub front in Garstang, probably as a result of its long history as a thriving market town (it is also the world's first fairtrade town) but the Royal Oak certainly holds its own and is one of my favourites without a doubt. Best pub to dine at in Garstang by a country mile.

I came to eat here last week with my boyfriend and his family. I was especially looking forward to…read morecoming here as it had won Restaurant of the Year 2011 by Eat Sheffield! The drive to the restaurant was lovely and scenic, going down dark and winding country roads until suddenly we drive around a corner and The Devonshire Arms appeared! We'd got there a little early and we sat down by the bar for some drinks. The menu was displayed on a chalkboard by the seating area and it all looked yummy! The dining area was quite small but very nice and cosy. The kitchen was open and you could see the chefs chopping and cooking away which I quite liked. I chose the rabbit and pheasant terrine with grape chutney as my starter; it came with onion bread and the slice of terrine was huge! I really wanted to finish it, but I couldn't as there was no way I'd be have enough room for my main! For the main, I had venison steak served with new potatoes (usually served with mash which I couldn't have as it had milk/cream in it) and braised red cabbage. The steak was pink and cooked to perfection and the red cabbage was sweet but with a little tart edge to it. I didn't have a dessert but the rest of the party did - my boyfriend had a deconstructed banana cheesecake and his sister had a brownie (I overheard her saying it was the best brownie she'd ever tasted!). All of the staff were really nice, especially the lady who served us that night, she was really lovely and very attentive. The Devonshire Arms fully deserves it's awards and hope it gets more in the future. If you're ever around the Sheffield area and want to venture out of the city centre for some food make sure you come here. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect meal.

How on earth does this pub not have more reviews? Another of Lancashire's incredible pubs -…read moreservice not overdone and food executed perfectly. Just what one expects from a classic English pub. And I think I might have possibly had the most amazing cut of venison I've ever had here and the wine selection made the meal perfection. Our group ordered several main dishes - cod, steak & ale pie, and lamb shoulder. We also ordered way too many starters good grief, but I think the terrine was an absolute dream so it was worth it. Basically you can't go wrong here. Ask for the waiter's suggestion if you're unsure what to order. I'd also suggest coming with a big party since there's a lot of room.

Dogs are made welcome and cyclists and walkers who have taken advantage of the local countryside have welcomed the warm wood burning fires in the winter months. I like that you can personalise your meal by choosing a main course and then adding vegetables as desired. The desserts are also home made - cheescakes are a speciality. The pies are made with a family heritage pastry from the owner's grandmother. The chef offers specialities on a weekly basis. We visited on Christmas Eve 2021 and Valentines Day 2022 and enjoyed the set menus. Well worth a visit.

Yesterday there was a local marathon- yes!- great runners charged past into the local town of Ambleside. Hikers and dog lovers are here too.

Brunch, lunch, dinner, and bar snacks are served at the Drunken Duck, and I'd only really recommend booking for dinner. The beer and cider are mostly local I believe. We did the curry bowl to share (vegetarian and VERY tasty - kind of wish I could get the recipe), scampi, fries, and tartare sauce (those fries are to die for!) and the lamb kofta, hummus, flatbread, and mint yoghurt (great for sharing and noshing). There's plenty of parking on the side of the inn. The inside is decorated beautifully (very insta-worthy), so maybe consider renting out for an event. And yes, you can bring your dog to dinner/drinks.
