Excellent location in the centre of Lytham right next to the bus stops, this boozer serves a…read moredecent, wide range of real ales for the beer hunter (like me!), but beware that the pub gets taken over by loud (I mean loud!) music during weekend evenings, so unless you decide to sit in a corner to avoid having your ears bashed, or invest in some earplugs, or give up talking to your mates, might be worth giving this a miss, or getting there before the DJ arrives. Shame really because the pub itself is spacy, characterful (ship motif) and does a decent range of food too.

This has to be the best pub in Lytham st annes. The drinks are reasonably priced with the hidden…read moregem being the food. The pub sell bar snacks all day that are homecooked and excellent quality and value for money. If you are after something more substantial then there is the restaurant to the side which is relaxed well staffed. With fantastic prices such as 3 courses for £9.99 you can't go wrong. The staff are all excellent and the pub landlord runs a very tight ship which is what makes it such a great place to go. This is why when you go in you will find all age ranges from young to old. Oh and beer is pretty good too!

Place looks great, nice beer selection and a good price on the lunch menu. Several interesting…read moremenus with wine and beer were left in a stack on the table. Interesting and confusing at the same time, please keep trying, lots of potential here. Service attentive to the point of predatory (3 attempts were made to take my plate before I had finished). Food was a combination of safe choices (burger with chips) and uh creative (the duck leg was nice, sauce was heavy, cherries soaked in some kind of booze were OTT) . The menu touts pre-celebrity chef Warrick Dodds. Who? Verdict: OK to good food, complicated layout (stairs galore). Staff, busy, young, maybe a little distracted at times. We'll go back and hope for more good deals on interesting food, less anxiety about leaving plates in front of us and clean coffee spoons.

Things that let this place down are the fact that you always have to wait ages at the bar to get served for drinks/food and if you order sandwiches they put them under the hotplate so the bread is very dry and needs to be sent back.

Thursday night is steak night, two for 15quid but we went for the burger and lasagne. The gourment burger came with a surprise fried egg and was great value for money. The lasagne was average pub standard, but the pimms and cocktails were amazing. The 5 star rating is for the profiteroles and staff, the profiteroles are to die for, and the staff are super friendly. The atmosphere was great and the style a good mix of old and modern pub that worked really well. I would deffo come again if I was in the area.

From the outside tables, pet bowls & hanging baskets at the front, to the village church next door, all overlooking green expanses with cricketers playing and sounds coming from the duck pond. The real ale was on good from, they had Bodds, Theaks & Bombadier on draught. The menu (eat in or sit outside) is extensive, with 2 courses for £9 or 3 for £11. One small gripe is the fact that it is not an easy place to get to without a car (bus transportation is limited and does not run late at night). Parking is limited around the pub, or you can try grabbing a space around the greens. An excellent place to meet friends or enjoy a good meal. But make sure someone stays sober to drive home otherwise you could end up with a big taxi bill.

Judging by the way that some people were greeted, it attracts many regulars. We made our choices from the lighter bites menu which were tasty, freshly cooked and very good value at under £7.

An excellent choice for lunch or dinner.

Seven years after first getting a pint in here it has now been the recipient of a very sympathetic makeover as part of becoming a community pub. The range of ales has increased (both on tap and bottled), the number of customers has definitely risen and there's a much more of a buzz about the place. Great to see the place with a new lease of life.
