Counting House in Blackpool

Food was mediocre, one guy behind the bar was pretty rude and there drink selection for a greene king pub was dreadful.

Just had a beer but lot,s of people were eating.

Traditional and good food for a fair price

Waited 55 minutes for food. Other customers appeared to have been waiting similar times. Some even gave up waiting and got refunds. 7.15pm lights were turned down, music up that loud you couldn't hear the person sat on the otherside of the table. When the good eventually arrived it was overcooked, and it was that dark you couldn't see the food on the plate in front of you. No apology about the wait, the food, the noise, nothing. Never again.

An hour wait on food. No warning, No apologies when it eventually arrived. food was okay. But was ravenous by this point. Lights turned down mid meal, had to use my phones torch light to see what I was actually eating.

Great place needs a revamp toilets to far walk especially for people with walking problems

Very run down needs a lot of work to bring it back to life holes in seat bit of a smell really not good. Staff were really nice really fast service only + point

Love coming here, I pop in every time I’m in town, the staff are all incredibly friendly and welcoming, nothing is ever too much hassle for them, they always go above and beyond on every aspect. 5 stars 🤩

Had a good night there, the wife left her phone and the staff kept it safe until she collected it the day after. So yeah, great staff and thank you.

Scruffy, booth chairs ripped and torn, flies everywhere, and we were missing something off our food

Can't complain the food was OK.helpful service.

We didn't have food here just a couple of drinks. Nice place.

What a find! Well priced basic food. Very welcoming staff.

Went in here a few times, great evening and afternoon atmosphere

I liked this bar. Good service and nice beer. However my thoughts changed when I went to the toilet. The smell was so bad of ammonia that I was almost gagging. Why let such a nice bar down by overlooking this basic necessity. This would have been a 5* review if it wasn't for this oversight. Bleach? A bit of urinal cake? Costs pennies. Everyone who was in there was commenting on how bad the toilets were. Crazy to leave it like that. Come on Greene King up your game on clean facilities. The old decor from when it used to be a bank is there in all it's glory to see. It's a beautiful building

Just here for weekend so popped in for food and drinks. Great menu choice food hot and very tasty. Beer good definitely return

This Pub was really quiet and had beer prices a bit dearer than any others that we went to in Blackpool (and we went to a good few) We only stayed for one drink each and went elsewhere. I've since been back to Blackpool and can confirm that "The Slug & Lettice" Bar are competing with this place as the dearest place around Blackpool!

My 2nd visit here the staff are great and serve a decent pint although it's a bit pricey for a pint the food is excellent would highly recommended this place

Good food nice staff. Only downfall I would say is it's decor the seats are ripped toilets are dirty and obviously attracts the wrong crowd for drinking but otherwise a nice place.

Place is a lovely old building ,tables were sticky , food was great seating had holes in them ,colour scheme could be a lot brighter and more welcoming it,maybe greene king should take a leaf out off wetherspoons book .I seen a few people leave before ordering or even sitting down on the ripped leather seats .

Friendly staff and clientele, superb location, although we didn't eat saw other customers food and it looked great.

Last time i came here during summer i put a bad review on but i deleted it shortly after because i thought it was unfair. They was obviously having staffing issues. Today i went in and i ordered a drink on the app, it came within 10 minutes. I asked the staff how long did would be he said 20 minutes. It was brought to my table within 10. Staff where very friendly and helpful, he wiped my table for me. Chick and mix was on offer £6. Bargin. Thanks guys see u again soon! If i had to nit pick i would complain about the flies flying around due to the doors being open. But it is summer after all!

Genuinely crap, food closed one night at 630, Sunday lunch options sold out at 12.30 next day..., irony was the place was not very full!!!, and what had been eaten and NOT was left on tables as an advert for fact it must have been nasty😀 Pretty crap, also Upstairs toilets disgusting. Felt very dirty and tired, not a Wetherspoon's model let's say, also OTT for basic drink and beer. Can see why it is not very busy. Also saw quite a few walk thrus turned away for groups looking for Sunday lunch as I drank my pint, that's just suicidal in today's climate or dumb. Note to licencee, please take my feedback as finite.

Food was fab, cocktails amazing, staff lovely 😍

Came into this place with my kids GF and mother and that's where we went wrong! We came.for food as our local GK pubs have decent enough food so with the app and discounts etc we get we were happy to hopefully enjoy a nice family meal upon arriving into Blackpool! Ordered a drink from the bar after receiving a free drink voucher which wouldnt work but removed the said voucher from my app. The guy behind the bar with ginger hair (didn't get his name) was great about it we cant fault his help and understanding of the situation, however the voucher wouldn't work so i used a 20% voucher instead to pay for the drinks. I then went on the pool table with my little man and after my son potting the white the table broke and I wasn't offered a refund just that they were going to contact the table supplier £1.50 down As we were hungry and all.things come in 3s we ordered 4 x roast dinners (massive mistake) they were immediately sent back as the please were like bullets, carrots cold, roasties burnt, I can go on but I witnessed 7 dinners being returned. They apologised and gave us a refund but what a terrible experience and a massive let down. Despite us sending 4 dinners back for genuine reasons the table next to me had 2 dinners ordered prior.to.our complaints and yet again they were the same! You would expect them to make sure the next 2 meals are perfect but it seems like they are microwaving the food and have given up.

Very nice pub with friendly staff, On the day we attended the clientele was a little rowdy which can't be helped. Nice pub and would recommend

Great place. Toilets are 4 floors up which is abit of a pain but apart from that nice place

Omg what a dump... Sorry to say but it needs a major make over and a thorough clean... Can't believe this place is allowed to operate and serve the public. Just like weatherspoons get your hiking boots on if you want to use the toilet but I don't recommend as they are broken or dirty.

Service was good from lads on Friday. Went in again on Sunday and waited nearly an hour for a microwaved lasagne with a withered salad. Wee lassies trying to run the show

Food always good and quick pleasant service

Tables were not cleared of food plates the whole time we were there. It is also in desperate need of a deep clean

Came with family and friends the food was amazing staff very helpful

Don't not bring your children on a Saturday night (6.00pm) my partner took my little boy to the toilet and they was a bag of coke on floor and no toilet roll they don't care about family at all

Got there and had to wait for the bar staff to finish messaging on his phone before he would serve me. Even though he stared at me half way through, fully aware we were waiting. Once the food arrived he pretty much threw the plates at us. All but 1 of the meals, that came 20mins later. All the food was dry and overcooked. Pictures don't quite do it justice. The onion rings were burnt and tasted like they were cooked with other foods. Considering the prices I expected better.

Best experience you will get there ,the place is highly recommend,best food ,best services and best atmosphere.

Excellent place if you have a dog to go and have a bite to eat or a drink. We've been twice now in 2 days. Not too pricey either and have offers on certain days like £5 burger served with 3 items and fries. Sirloin Steak with fries and peas just £10.99, bargain and the dog loves it too. Had some sausages and a burger in the last 2 days obviously without the bun and condiments. Really friendly staff. Highly recommended.

The staff are completely awesome, helpful, friendly. Food is great and position is good.

Go here everytime I go to Blackpool love the food always fresh and good variety

The food was lovely, the Chef and the staff ate lovely people.

The food, burger and fries wasn't great. The burger was underseasoned and the fries were too soft and did not smell fresh. We waited 1 hour for our food even though there was no traffic. The waiter forgot our order. Then he forgot about dessert. We waited another half hour. We had to remind them of our presence twice. I don't recommend it, it's a waste of time and taste buds.

Been hear 45 minutes hardly anyone in wait 1 hour for food and that was just the starter no butter for corn on the cob so waited even longer and then waited ages for mains

Dirty tables service took 35mins when turned up was disgusting as if sitting too long under heat lamp. When left the table next to us still had not been cleared away after about 1 and half hours half menu not available no stock

Some great value drinks and service is very good. Would recommend.

Watched the England match here.Good atmosphere

The pub was lovely and our server jade was attentive and helpful and food was great very good pricing for quality very pleased with our stay

We were staying in Blackpool for a few days and went for a drink in the Counting House. Really loved the pub everyone was so friendly and in particular Craig behind the bar gave exceptional service. He was so welcoming, friendly and very efficient. A real credit to the pub. We enjoyed it so much we went back in there the following day to watch the England game and what a great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Great atmosphere, cheaper drinks and food unlike most. Attentive and well mannered staff especially Jade, will do banter if you banter with them which is good. Got a DJ on the weekend who's brilliant, quick and affective security. Can't fault the place. ☆☆☆☆☆

Very Poor, not our first time in the Counting House however it will definitely be our last! Gammon was terrible, we had to send it back. The Fat rind was excessive at best, chips were warm, service was poor. Sausage and mash was dry. Again service was less than good. We are a fan of Greeneking and we are Blackpool natives however this experience was extremely poor. Pub looked tired staff were not attentive and in our opinion didn’t really seem to care. All of which gives a bad impression of Blackpool.

I had the cheese burger with chips & onion rings Leon the chef is one of the best cooks around Blackpool his food is amazing

Great time here very welcoming staff

Thought I’d try out the menu today at 1 at the counting house and it was absolutely spot on. The food was amazing. Definitely recommend and the service from James was great. Checked on us to see how the food was and if there was any issues

Definitely the best one in blackpool. Staff were friendly and on the ball! Food arrived roasting hot and tasted good. Everyone enjoyed.

Wonderful place with friendly staff brilliant food and great atmosphere- will definitely come back

Great place and food wished I’d come here sooner

They sell non alcoholic beers which is good, they do need to sell non alcoholic wines though too which would give more choice to customers, other than that a nice little pub with friendly staff 😊

Love this place, it's a dog friendly pub and the bar staff are really nice guys, they were friendly towards me and my brother and gave my dog reggie water and treats, a very welcoming place to visit, will definitely be back.

Friendly staff. Dog friendly pub. Quick service.

Amazing food & staff - place could do with abit of a freshen up like the seating with rips. Great menu choice, even a doggy station! Food was piping hot and large portions. Drinks were a great price. Staff were lovely and not phased by my toddler running about!

I went to the counting house at the weekend for something to eat and a few drinks with friends, I was pleasantly surprised about the overall experience, we went to the bar and was served by a lovely man called Craig he was very friendly laughing and joking with us and made us feel really welcome, we ordered food and drinks and the price was very reasonable, the food came quickly and was hot and very tasty and the drinks were perfect to wash all that delicious food down with, the bar was clean and the atmosphere was very good we will definitely be visiting again soon Thankyou for a lovely evening Craig and the rest of the team

Not much for this the toilets were not very good they were very dirty there were broken plates in the ladies and the disabled toilet was not clean

Attended the pub today, told there would be a 35 minute wait for food, howevwr it arrived on the hour mark. Not very busy in there, so would dread to think how they would be on a busy day. Food when it arrived was ok.

Poor service, scrubby pub....would not recommend

Best pub burger in a long long time:)

Good atmosphere. Can get very busy Friendly staff.

It was Monday so it was dead but great pub beers are good prices too local now

Food was terrible very expensive drinks complete waste of money never again

More of a night club feel than a restaurant. The food was ok . The service was lovely x

Most of the staff was friendly. Some wasn't so much especially when my 2 kids meals wasn't right. The only thing that was good was the drinks because there meant to be cold. Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't visit again

Toilets left a little bit to be desired - deep clean and refresh needed

Great place great staff lovely food

Called in yesterday afternoon with the wife for some food and drink… 1st impressions whilst stood at bar - pure filth ! I should have know.then to leave but we ordered our drinks and sat down ( behind the bar it was absolutely filthy and that amount of junk had not accumulated over a bank holiday weekend ) the menus where sticky , the tables the same, gum everywhere , dirty walls and carpets , toilets filthy - the whole place is the same no matter where you look. I get they was probably busy over the bank Holiday but that’s no excuse as the place was empty with staff stood about , there’s no way the premises had been cleaned to a high standard that morning. We still ordered food as we was hungry but that to was disappointing - all frozen ! Cutlery was dirty and no check backs, just staff stood about like they didn’t want to be there - whoever the manger is should be ashamed of themselves. I know reviews like tho hurt but im Afraid its the truth. Go there tomorrow if you don’t believe me and take a look for yourself. Used to be a decent bar a few years ago but it’s definitely gone downhill - I’m sorry but I will never set foot in that place again !

Expensive pint and not that good table's on side but non out front that's a shame fast service and friendly staff load of tabends all around seating area and been there some time

Great customer service from Jade & Connor at the bar friendly & consummate professionals a credit to your team

Nice dog friendly pub. Staff are welcoming and friendly. Service is top notch.

Great vibe, friendly staff, DJ is a menace. 😁 Dog friendly!

Great venue. Amazing staff. Good food. Fantastic value.

Top quality team, attentive staff and great atmosphere. Keep going guys, smashing it 💪🏽

Attentive friendly staff,freshly cooked quality food,great prices especially for the location and very dog friendly. Fresh bowl of water and treats given. Very nice visit,will return again during our holiday 👍

Pure filth, dont wear your new shoes as your leaving them behind on the floor, stuck in the filth and grime, tables the same dont touch them or your there forever, place needs a jet wash ,its disgusting at best,

I didn't eat but the menu looked good and was affordable. Fast efficient service and I was happy to see a good range of Lily's cider 😊. It was quiet but for a Wednesday night to be expected.

Food and service were excellent, only thing that let them down were the ladies toilets,not very nice and every toilet was missing toilet seat which was on the floor ,not clean I'm afraid .

We went in as a group of 6. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food(cooked fresh) came piping hot and well presented. Fantastic value for money. 100% recommend

Came in last night for food. Had the scampi which was lovely. Felt a little rushed as I came in at 7 with my teenage daughter and was constantly told children must leave by 8.30 repeatedly. We left before 8pm and had no intention on staying later. The service let them down

Went in for a couple enjoyed the place service was good nice and tidy

Was football, being different people, good food

This pub was amazing the food was great and service was excellent great for kids defo come here again.

Met family there. Had a drink and left. Refused to use the toilets as they were disgusting.

Had a meal and drinks with friends,Aaron provided great service and looked after us well,very reasonably priced,enjoyed our visit.

Great atmosphere, great service. Look forward to coming down next week with the family.

10/10 service great atmosphere all round. Popping down for food more regularly, 2 meals for £10.99

Great atmosphere all round the other day, Dan and Josh were absolutely great. Definitely recommend to pop in for food and drinks. Will be popping back next week

Absolute class vibe, Dan and Josh really made the experience warm and welcoming. Look forward to coming back next week. See you then lads.

Had a lovely time with my family!and was welcomed and looked after the whole night by Jade and Aaron, two amazing individuals.

Was in last Saturday, food was great, DJ was entertaining and the atmosphere was great

Friendly staff ,great reasonable food prices ,nice relaxing atmosphere ,a must visit.

The portion sizes are tiny! My husband was still starving after his fish & chips.

Where to start.. well, I guess the first thing was the mini waterfall that greeted us pouring through the smoke detector above the main door. God knows where the water was coming from as it was an usually (for Blackpool) sunny February day¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ The food we ordered (two pies) were dry and barely edible although to be fair our son had a burger which he said was nice. We've been on this pub a few times over the years but this was definitely our worst visit. The staff were all helpful and apologetic about the leaky ceiling, so I won't direct any criticism at them.

What a cracking night staff are amazing and DJ had everyone on a good mood

Food was cooked lovely and the staff were helpful, only marked down from A 5 due to some customers clearly too drunk and not being removed or asked to leave, will likely return but would definitely make sure it’s earlier in the day.

Excellent professional service and welcome. Very nice friendly staff and people. Great selection of food and drink. Wonderful facilities and atmosphere. Reasonable prices.
