Over the last couple of months we have visited here 3 times , twice for Saturday lunch for a Birthday and Mother’s Day and once for Sunday lunch The service and food have both been excellent on all occasions whilst on the more expensive side you do get what you pay for, good size portions and high quality ingredients. Would love to see the menu change more frequently , having said that this is our new favourite place

Food - and service - truly exceptional! We visited with family (including a young baby and a dog) and could not have been made to feel more welcome and comfortable. Several members of our party are fairly serious foodies and one has serious allergies - the entire experience from arrival to departure was unbelievably accommodating and beyond delicious! We couldn’t have asked for a better grand finale to our five-day stay in Lancaster!

Visited on Mothers’ Day with my family. They were very busy but the service was excellent. My two year old is too small to order a children’s meal so she was sharing mine and the waitress got her a Yorkshire pudding which she loved. My eldest chose from the children’s menu which was choice of mini roast options, so nice to see proper food for the little ones! The food was excellent and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

First time tried this place and won’t go again Choice was appalling for a plant based eater There were two options but stuffed aubergine at £18 is shocking and not many like an aubergine as the only veg The other option was a curried suet cap - sounded vile and I hate fat suet Asked chef any other options and “No” Honestly would have been easy to toss up a plant based burger as my son had a steak burger (again that wasn’t enough to fill him with a few curly fries and no salad dressing) I chose the mushroom soup starter for my main but a vegan wouldn’t eat this as it had cream in it but I had no option. Lastly son had bread and butter pudding I have never seen one made with zero fruit in it - just a gloried plain sponge pud !!!! Sorry but for a “gastro” pub this seriously did disappoint and we won’t go back Ridiculously overpriced pub food with little choices.

Good Sunday lunch. A British tradition, can be got wrong, they didn't. Cosy place, warm welcome from the staff. I am learning that one should avoid starters when having the Great British Sunday Lunch, as pubs serving this are invariably super-generous, and it's a shame to leave stuff on the plate. Would do it again.

We love the bay horse. The food is brilliant, the staff are welcoming and capable. We can and do take our dog too. Had to log on to write a review for tonights meal. We all had starters and mains, every plate almost licked clean. I had chicken, it was delicious, the mash was so creamy and whatever the thing was with it was soo tasty. The boys had lamb and both said it was the best lamb they had ever had. Food compliments from everyone throughout our meal. Everyone had a dessert beside me (I ate a bit of everyone's and again, fabulous)

We have eaten here in the past and had a very good experience but it has been a year since our last visit. The Inn was very quiet with few customers and the atmosphere was therefore lacking. The food was extremely disappointing - Cumberland Sausage lacked taste and could well have been a cheap supermarket brand, the Sea Bass was swimming in oil. The service was OK but somewhat detached and nobody asked if the food was OK - that's really unusual. The price of approx £70 for one course and one drink each seems much higher than other resturants in the area and the quality just wasn't there to justify it. I hope this was a one off as it is a lovely place that has been so good previously. However, we won't risk it again any time soon.

Hace unas semanas, paramos para comer el domingo en este histórico hotel escondido en un pueblo pintoresco junto a la M6. Siendo la comida se sirve en el bonito jardines con vistas a la campiña rural tranquilo era un lujo en sí mismo, pero cuando la comida era servida, simplemente "impresionados". Cada ingrediente fue cocinado a la perfección desde la tierna carne asada rosa a las patatas fresco asado, las verduras bien cocinadas a la crujiente Yorkshire pud cada bocanada era delicioso. ¡volveremos!

He estado aquí con algunos amigos para una cena. Debo la ubicación es preciosa. Está rodeado por un paisaje típico del reino unido; simplemente hermoso. La comida es buena, aunque me esperaba un poco más. Las bebidas están bien, una selección más grande de cerveza hubiera sido mejor, hay un montón de fábricas en la zona de hecho. De todos modos tuve una estancia agradable en general. Recomiendo el pato como segundo plato, era muy sabroso. Es bastante caro, así que no te puedes ir cada fin de semana (a menos que te lo puedes permitir). Sin embargo, creo que definitivamente vale la pena ahora y entonces.

Volvimos después de no visitar durante un par de años - la comida sigue siendo excelente (La mayoría tiene el menú fijo, pero uno de nosotros fuimos a la carta), el servicio es amable y el ambiente acogedor y relajado. El pub tiene una variedad de habitaciones, se puede comer en el bar o en el comedor más formal (que ha sido redecorado desde nuestra última visita, desde un ambiente acogedor pero, a drakish mucho más ligero y quizás un poco más relajado, presentación actualmente). En general, uno de los mejores restaurantes de la zona de la Lune valle donde hay que decir hay mucho de la competencia a este nivel.

Hi. I am contacting you regarding our recent visit. We booked two weeks prior.We arrived last Thursday evening. we were met by a lovely lady who took us into the main bar and told us she had some good news for us. We had been entered into your weekly draw for a free stay and we had won! Obviously we were delighted! For clarification we asked what our stay would cost. The lady took.us to our room and went away to check. She came back and told us our stay was free! Again obviously we were delighted. We went downstairs for a meal and checked as we had booked using a wowcher code could we redeem this value towards food or another stay perhaps? Again the lady checked with someone. We were then told in the public bar that they forgot we booked through wowcher and the free stay was no longer valid and didn't count! Obviously this was disappointing and not good customer service. I said this didn't feel good and surely we were still entitled to our free stay or at least a goodwill gesture. We stayed three days. A lady asked us on Saturday night for our wowcher. We gave her this recited what had happened. She took.our telephone number and said she would discuss with the owners. After breakfast on Sunday morning we paid Friday meal, checked out and repeated details to another lady, who also said she would report to owners and ask them to contact us. No one has to date and we are extremely disappointed with this.

We've had the privilege to dine at many great restaurants, hotels, gastro pubs....and our favourite is The Bay Horse. Now maybe we are biased as we live near by...but...they get the right things right....the food is incredible...small menu but enough (which means they can concentrate on perfection)....simple ingredients and presentation (nothing fussy, very wholesome)...country pub chic (aged, comfortable decor like an old favourite sweater)....and importantly GREAT staff. Add it all up and the sum is greater than the parts....and thats why we love it.

Craig Wilkinson is chef & owner of this restaurant. He continues to produce excellent food with many locally sourced ingredients. There are three dining areas to choose from - bar area, dining room and a wonderful garden with fabulous views out across the Lancashire countryside.The bar has a good selection of draught beers and a great selection of English gins.Menu is classic British with daily specials on a blackboard.All the food is excellent. Highlights include the fillet beef, local Morecambe Bay shrimps, leek & pork sausages, venison when in season and the Goosnargh poultry.Booking advised as this inn is often busy for dinner. Their Sunday lunch is classic.A family run restaurant that is a great place to stop on the way to the Lakes.

Went out for Saturday night dinner as two couples. After being blown away by the sweeping landscape of rolling lush fields out the back on a sunny evening we enjoyed three delicious courses each. In particular the chicken and Garstang blue terrine for starter and duck leg with figs and lamb with puy lentils for mains. We ended up feeding each other every dish so we could all enjoy them! There was plenty of food on each dish too. It wasn't cheap but I suppose you get what you pay for. Will definitely be back to sample Sunday roast!

Went to one of their special food and wine evenings last night - this was a Biodynamic and Organic Wine Evening with wines presented by one of their suppliers and matched with locally sourced organic food.We had a great evening. We started with canapés and fizz in the lovely garden with views out over the surrounding countryside. We then moved inside for the meal. The wines, two for each course were introduced to us and we were served the food. The wines and the food were delicious - especially the fillet steak served for the main course, the best I've eaten in some considerable time.The service was friendly and efficient and the whole evening was a great success.We can highly recommend The Bay Horse.

Had a wonderful meal on a Friday night. The food was wonderful: the best I've had in a gastropub and beautifully presented. We were full after our main courses but neither of us could resist dessert. Service was slow-ish but I think it was obvious that we were on a date and enjoying each other's company. All the staff we encountered were very professional and friendly. If I had one criticism it would be that the drinks were a little pricey, but would definitely eat here again.

Best pub for a Sunday by a country mile north of Preston. Fabulous beef perfectly cooked , interesting starters with lovely comforting deserts makes for a great lunch in front of the fire. No 'moles breath' paint in sight , no gimmicks , tables in the bar crammed in and virtually on the bar ( there is a rear room ) , but who cares - its character of a traditional pub carries it through.

We called in here today as an alternative to a motorway service station, and we were pleased we found it. It is only 5 minutes from the motorway junction but had the charm of an old coaching inn. The menu had some interesting sounding dishes, but we had only stopped for lunch. We had soup and a sandwich (beet root and carrot soup and cheese and chutney sandwich) which was good. I would recommend as a convenient and tasty alternative for a roadside stop

Visited today for lunch with my partner and friends and I have to say I was left disappointed. The meal was delicious and the quality for the food was excellent although pretty expensive. It was the service that let us down. Four of us ordered meals from the main menu but only one small dish of vegetables arrived at the table. The waitress walked away so we called her back and asked if we could have another dish of vegetable - they were part of each meal bought. She looked at us as if we were asking for something very strange but she did go to the kitchen. After about 10 minutes and after we had eaten most of our meal and after the 4 of us had shared the small dish of vegetable another dish arrived. No apology or 'I'm sorry for your wait.' Nothing! Also we were not asked is we needed anything like vinegar or sauce etc....just lack of interest in customer satisfaction or needs. Now I wouldn't be bothered about the lack of service if I was eating in a franchise pub like a Harvester (Yuk!) but when the bill comes to £40+ for lunch then I expect a little bit of personal service and initiative by the waitress. Will we return....possibly...not sure.

Have eaten here before and enjoyed it but not for a few years so looking forward to trying it againThe bar area was warm and welcoming with a cosy bustling atmosphere however the main restaurant was quiet with only a couple of other tables occupied.We ordered a couple of pints of the local beer whilst we chose our meals but both these were obviously cloudy and tasted sour and had to be replaced.The young enthusiastic waitress had a bit of a problem remembering the ingredients of the days specials.These were written on a board in the bar perhaps they should have one in the restaurant as well.I opted for one of the starter specials the meat terrine with a local damson purree.A good combination and followed this with another special of guinea fowl with wild mushrooms and lentils.A good autumnal selection.Guinea fowl can be a bit dry but this was lovely and moist but lacked much flavour,My friends both had the duck legs which looked and apparently tasted delicious.We shared a bread and butter pudding with apricots which were chopped up dried ones which added nothing to the extremely buttery dish.To accompany we had glasses of chianti which I thought were a bit dear at £7 a glass.The whole bill came to £120 for the 3 of us.Not cheap but good quality food.The service whilst enthusiastic was slightly irritating as we were asked if everything was allright when we had not even started eating our meals and when we had finished and our plates were completely empty we were asked whether we had finished.These are minor quibbles and can be put right with training and experience.

Great find, fantastic food and good service. Great choice of real ale and wine. Worth a visit. Easy to find as not far from junction 33 M6. Nice restaurant set up with a more private dining area if that's your preference.

The roast rib of beef dinner we had was superb and it was a generous portion. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves great traditional food in a pleasant laid back setting. Service was spot on too.

Stayed at the local Travelodge and was recommended here for dinner. Really superb pub. Tastefully decorated both inside and out and although we were the first people in that evening we were given a very warm welcome. Complimentary olives etc on the bar and excellent choice of wine and beer. How lovely to be offered Sunday roast on a Sunday evening, it was absolutely delicious and huge servings and all very fresh. Although we didn't go in the garden outside it looked really nice. Have already recommended this to friends. Really hope we are in this area again.

Visited the Bay Horse Inn for the first time for Sunday dinner with a party of six. The restaurant itself is nicely presented and has a lovely rear garden area. I had a mixed seafood salad started and a roast beef Sunday dinner for my main course. Everything was delicious and well cooked. The addition of the selection of delicious fresh bread slices was a nice touch. Would highly recommend it and will definitely visit again soon.

Four of us went here for Sunday lunch after a recommendation from someone at work. We were not disappointed. The roast beef was really tasty and my desert was also great. Surroundings are nice too, had a lovely view out of the patio windows in the room we were sat.It is not cheap however I think it is value for money - the price reflects the quality.Will be visiting again!

Review for a family of four visiting on a Sunday. Our visit was based on recommendations made to us from work colleagues to visit the Bay Horse Inn.Sorry can't agree. Four of us visited yesterday in the evening, but as it was a Sunday there was only a Sunday menu available, fixed price for 2 courses at £19.50 or 3 courses at £23.50. As reported elsewhere the choice of starters and desserts looked appetising, however the main courses were limited and quite boring. Our main courses were 3 roast beef and 1 trio of sausages. Well the roast beef was good, but the sausages were ordinary and small for the price . The amount of vegetables for 4 was small and we had to ask for more - these were happily provided but arrived towards the end of the main course. Desserts were OK, but with the kids having ice cream, the price of the meal became expensive. For a family of four, two adults and two children there was no change from £100.So overall expensive for families with children on a Sunday - would much rather have had a choice from the a la carte menu - the cost would have been similar. Unlikely we will be returning.

Really nicely laid out pub restaurant - with purple parasols outside! Very classy! Good choice of food - not cheap, but very good quality.

A return visit here for lunch after not having called for some time. The food was excellent - duck breast and lamb shank followed by damson fool and apricot bread and butter pudding. Staff were all very pleasant. What was the real let down was the very long wait with plates in front of us before anyone noticed we had finished our main course. Yes, the waiting staff were mainly young, and one very new, but there seemed to be no system of sharing tables or indeed roles between them. They were all very apologetic when we mentioned our concerns but will need to up their game if they are going to get repeat visits. There are lots of competitors nearby.

As a party of 11 family members had Christmas lunch here. We ordered from the menu in advance of the day and the service and food were excellent. It could only have been improved by the addition of tasteful background music to lessen the impact of a group of rather noisy diners on the next table.

This was a favourite haunt when we were students at the nearby University of Lancaster many years ago. We have returned occasionally over the years and just recently we were in the area again for the university's 50th anniversary celebrations.We spent a Sunday walking in Ingleton and wanted somewhere to eat in the evening. The Bay Horse did not disappoint. I had the traditional cheese pie and my wife had the hake. These were both accompanied by hot, fresh vegetables. For dessert, we both had the excellent pear pudding and washed it all down with a pint of Wainwright golden ale.The thing we like is that the inn has changed little over the year and still retains its original character and charm. The staff were also very helpful and friendly. As for location, it is right on the doorstep of the Trough of Bowland - what more could you want?

When visitng family in Lancaster we often thought of trying the Bay Horse Inn as the food is supposed to be good.Four of us went today for a light meal about 2.00pm. However as it was Sunday there was only a table d'hote menu available, fixed price for 2 courses at £19.50 or 3 courses at £23.50. The choice of starters and the sweets looked appetising, however the main courses were limited and quite boring. The starters were good, although the salmon was a very small portion. For our main courses we ordered 3 roast beef and 1 cheese and onion pie for our main courses. The beef was pink which we liked, but that and the vegetables, which were carrots and cabbage were only warm and not hot. We were given only a relatively small dish of vegetables for 4 people (the same amount as served for the table of 2 behind us), so we had to ask for more and a serving spoon. The salt grinder on the table didn't work, nor the one on the table next to us or the one the waitress brought. The espresso and petit four was very nice.A trip to the Ladies revealed an old toilet with an obvious flush problem, which couldn't cope with constant use.Overall we didn't feel our lunch was value for money and probably will not return.

We went as a family and wow the food and service were amazing. I can recommend the rib of beef it’s to die for. Finished with the biscoff sundae and full to bursting. Amazing

Great experience altogether! We loved our coffee, the food (halloumi wrap, brisket, smoked chicken club (great rolls!)). The only criticism came from our (picky) 8 year-old who found the ham on her kids box sandwich much too thickly sliced. Her loss of course, but maybe something to consider for other kids too.

Just visited this lovely looking pub for a bite to eat on our way through travelling home. We were greeted by the bar staff & ordered drinks. We took a seat & viewed the food menu. We both decided on the healthy option noodles with chicken which showed 600 calorie meal. We also ordered garlic ciabatta. The food arrived & very disappointed with what we saw. 2 bowls of greasy noodles sitting in an oily liquid! The ciabatta was cold & soggy. Such a shame as expected a great pub meal Needless to say we both left most of meal & left still hungry What a waste of money. We were asked if meal was okay to which we politely informed the waitress that it wasn’t great. Think the kitchen needs to up its game on food preparation.
