Asked if parents could have off children's menu and were told "by all means yes", while father & I were at the bar ordering drinks the manager came over to mum and friend to ask if we were all okay as she had heard of our bad experience at the first pub we called in ..... The food was excellent, piping hot, and even got a small portion of chips thrown in for free with the Kormas we ordered

Just popped in today on our walkabout, pleasant as usual, with the exception of a piano playing quietly in the bar ,it was lovely, usually have a meal but today a drink only. I was on my way to the loo when the barman (a lovely lad)shouted to me there was a maintenance guy in the ladies disabled toilet, I was fine with it ,just so nice for his concern, love going in this pub always friendly, 😀 xx

I called ahead to find out if the pub had a ramp for a wheelchair and the lady answering the phone said yes and would reserve us a table. We got there and she met us at the door and showed us to our table and even provided us with a mince pie. Food was what you expect from a Marstons and with 30% off you couldn’t go wrong. A great experience, attentive and good customer service. Will return.

Food was good, concerned with drinks measures and when challenged the bar tender stayed it was the managers instructions

I go every Thursday for the Excellent quiz, Last night I dropped my debit card under the table, The Landlady was great...she got my number from the booking and rang me just as I got home and arranged for me to collect it the following morning..which I just have. Great service and saved me loads of hassle cancelling the card etc.

Food going down hill rapidly. Was always great, but things have definitely changed, and not for the better. Not the management I'm sure, probably the brewery burning the candle at both ends.

To provide some context, I emigrated from the UK last year. However, whenever I come back to visit family, I always make sure to visit my local pub, The Gardeners Arms. On Saturday evening, after my late-night walk, I noticed that The Gardeners Arms was still open as I was on my way home, and I thought to myself that I'll pop in for a quick pint for old times' sake. I ordered a pint and sat in a booth by myself, reminiscing about the old times I had in this pub. However, at some point during the evening, a scuffle broke out among a small group of people. My dad messaged me asking how my night was going to which I replied with "It's kind of going like this..." and sent a small clip of the fight happening by the front door. I said that it was unusual for such things to happen here as it had always been a very friendly pub. Eventually, the fight was broken up by some of the regulars who managed to separate them. The next day, after spending the day watching rugby, my dad and I stopped at The Gardeners Arms for a drink. We ordered our drinks and sat down in a corner to discuss the game. Shortly after, one of the barmaids came over and joined us. During our conversation, the topic of last night's incident came up. We all agreed it was unusual for such things to occur in what had been a family-friendly pub for the 30 years I've been visiting. After the barmaid left, I remarked on how professionally she had handled what appeared to be just a casual conversation. However, things were about to take a turn for the worse. The landlord, Andy, approached our table, looked directly at me, and aggressively stated, “GET THE F*** OUT NOW!” Stunned, I replied, “What?” He repeated, “GET THE F*** OUT. NOW.” In shock and disbelief, I asked why. He accused me of 'taking videos of people' and claimed that it was illegal. As I stood up to get my jacket, we had a brief exchange of words during which I argued that it was ridiculous to be kicked out and barred for such a reason. I explained that the video was not posted on social media - it wasn't shared on Facebook, Instagram, or anywhere else; I sent it directly to my dad. Despite this, Andy got in my face and squared up to me, which was completely out of order and unacceptable. I got my coat and we left. First of all, I was not taking videos “of people”; I recorded a fight occurring in your pub. Secondly, contrary to what you might think, it is not illegal to record what I perceived as a serious situation - a fight breaking out in your pub. If you believe otherwise, please cite the specific law I have broken. Thirdly, documenting an escalating fight, where fists or glasses might be thrown, could prove valuable should the police require evidence. I have been coming to this pub for the best part of 30 years. I've celebrated birthdays here, brought my nieces and nephew to meet Santa, attended Halloween events, watched countless football matches with friends, and enjoyed hundreds of family meals. However, after the recent incident, I will NEVER visit this pub again. The landlord’s actions and words were categorically unacceptable and out of order. You should never resort to swearing at people or aggressive behaviour; it is utterly unprofessional and a disgrace. As a result, I have contacted Marston's directly and filed a complaint because what happened is absolutely disgraceful.

Tonight was such a pleasurable experience. My family and I have had an excellent meal. From the moment we walked in we were greeted and even though it was a little busy the staff went well out of the way to make sure that my 2 young children were comfortable, and had colouring pens a paper ( something some may say is standard but from experience is difficult to get at most places). The food came out quickly and service is always with a smile here. I have been coming here for nearly 20 years and the latest managers are really doing a top job, employing great staff and focusing on what really makes a great locals pub. Really appreciate them turning the pub around and making it a safe environment for my family to come👌

Very disappointed. Booked a ‘table to dine’ online to arrive between 7.15-7.45pm. Arrived at 7.30pm and a young man showed us to our table and gave us cutlery and menus. No warning was given that we needed to hurry up and order. Went to order the food at 7.50pm to be told that the kitchen closes at 7.45pm. The man was not apologetic whatsoever and quite rude. Something similar happened previously also where we booked to eat, giving our phone number, only to be told when we arrived that the kitchen was closed due to staff absence. No one thought to inform us despite knowing about our reservation and having my number. Won’t be bothering with this place again.

We can highly recommend the Gardeners Arms in Thornton Cleveleys. The staff are very friendly and you are made to feel welcome. The establishment is clean and tidy and the drinks are very reasonably priced. Wainwrights and Neck Oil are my husbands choice and Pinot Blush is mine - a large glass of course! The food is excellent and caters for all tastes including children. awe both opted for the Hot Dog with chips. Wow, if you have small appetites share one between 2. In saying that, it was superb and will know next time we visit. Like I say, highly recommended by both of us and it’s a 5* review for the Gardeners Arms in Thornton Cleveleys which are only given if well deserved.

This is a very nice pub, however, they do deserve places for their regular customers even when they are not in the pub. Being asked to move because we were sitting in a regular place was bad enough but being told the table had been "reserved" once the regulars had come in and were heard complaining about us sitting in "their place". What a total farce. Won't be coming back grr

Great menu at very reasonable price. Portions just right for lunch. The couple running the pub could not have been more friendly and helpful. Looking at the menu and special nightly offers I am not surprised it is a popular venue. It deserves to thrive as I am sure it will. With pubs closing this needs to stay open.

Tremendous service- thanks and we will be back again.

We popped in here at lunchtime. We were made very welcome by the landlady. Our food was OK, but when we asked for salt, we were told that they had run out. My Sunday lunch was very bland without seasoning, the food was nice but was totally spoilt. The place was a bit tired and needed some decorating. I understand places are struggling financially at the moment, but get your basics right.

Stayed at the caravan park but ate here a few times during our stay. It was significantly cheaper than eating on the park and still felt like a treat! (The Sherry Trifle cheesecake was TO DIE FOR!!!) We were really looked after and the team made a fuss over the children, when our waitress saw me feeding the baby she offered to take my lunch back to keep it warm until we were ready! Such a sweet gesture and really appreciated!

Stayed at Cala Gran over a weekend for a family celebration and booked the Gardeners Arms for a celebratory meal out on sat 22/04/23, it was a short bus ride away so was perfect. There was a group of 30 including children. The manager Jo was the perfect host, she had decorated the area where we were seated and had even bought the birthday man a card, this was unexpected and a lovely gesture. The food was delicious, very tasty and perfectly cooked and presented, they even called your name when bringing food to the table, never had that happen before and made you feel welcome. Everyone enjoyed their meal very much and all left happy and full. All the staff were very pleasant and welcoming and we all felt at home, there was live music on that night but unfortunately couldnt stay as we had younger ones with us much to all the adults disappointment. Jo you and your team were the perfect hosts and we will definitely return, i am actually very disappointed that your place is not my local, we all are. Thankyou so much for your fantastic welcome and hosting skills to us all. I would highly recommend you pay the Gardeners Arms, fleetwood rd, N a visit wether you are staying at the caravan park nearby or just simply passing, you wont be disappointed, thankyou jo and all your amazing team x

Whilst the staff behind the bar were ok, the food served was really poor. For starters the crispy mushrooms were wet but ok. We ordered 3 Chicken madras curries - all of which came with rock hard naan bread. Our other two meals we’re surf and turf - both of which came with rock hard stale chips and tough 8oz streak that was over cooked from the requested medium. Sausage and mash was also part of our order - the sausage felt dry and stale and had to be wetted by the included gravy. The mash was mash! We wouldn’t go back or recommend here again.

Clean, friendly staff, great selection of drinks and food to die for. The staff made us feel welcome from the second we stepped in. We had booked a table and the landlady came over straight away to apologise that the family before us had ran over. But within minutes she had cleaned table and set it all up again for us so by time we had got our drinks at the bar the table was ready. Fantastic wee pub, thank you Gardeners arms we had a lovely Sunday meal out.

Have eaten here regularly in the past, on my most recent visit I had the vegetarian lasagne and can honestly say it was the worst meal I've ever had! The lasagne was so devoid of filling it looked like a pancake. I'm just sorry I didn't complain at the time but was feeling a bit worse for wear with a toothache and just wanted to get home. Plenty of other decent places to eat around here so will not be going back to the Gardeners Arms.

This is the place to go if you want proper home cooked amazing food. and we cant wait to see what else is on there next time we go its going to be are place to go from now on if its like that we can not wait...….

Stopped here for lunch, about 11:30 asked about the menu, told we only do breakfast until 12:00 then the main menu is available, nowhere on the menu does it mention anything about times. Since it has changed branding the menu choices have gone drastically downhill, not as much choice. And it looks like smaller portions. Will NOT be back in a hurry

We have been going here for years and always enjoyed it until today. It has changed hands and the menu has changed. We waited nearly an hour, we were not Informed there was a wait or else we would have gone else where. Oh how I wish we had. They no longer do sizzling platters so the plates were cold, the gammon was Luke warm and served with a salad and the most awful chips imaginable. Nobody came to see if everything was ok. When they came to collect the plates we told them of our complaints and the waitress said Everybody is saying the same. Will not be going again for definite.

I. Have eaten at this pub lots of times, too many to count, they had lovely menu food served piping hot on iron sizzering skillets. The best meal was the mixed grill, the regular size not the giant size excellent must have had it 19 times and faultless.

My wife and I visited The Gardener's Arms on the way back from a day off in Fleetwood. Great pub food. Big portions and a wide-ranging menu. Friendly service, too.

Called in at the gardeners arms for a spot of Sunday lunch, ordered the Sunday dinner half a chicken, when the food arrived it was reformed chicken steak, we told the waitress we had ordered half roast chicken, she apologised, and said the cook had done the wrong thing ?, we waited 15 minutes for our half roast chicken to arrive, but it was delicious, nice and crunchy, not pale like in some pubs, the veg was cooked, not hard, so will order that meal again, pity they got it wrong in the first place.

As locals, we visit the Gardeners Arms about once a fortnight - sometimes for breakfast and sometimes for lunch. We have found the food to be tasty and hot and the service from Russell, Sarah and the team is always fast and friendly. We have found the 2 meals for £7.50 to be really good value - there aren't many places around here where you can get x2 fish, chips and peas for that price. We've even had these as take aways!!

On an evening awaiting the Illuminations dropped in to the Gardeners which had plenty of parking available. Plenty of people were in the pub eating and drinking equally. The menu was typical pub food but none the worse for that. The restaurant had a little canteen feel about it but the order was taken and fairly quickly the food arrived. Steak with scampi and chicken which in fairness was quite nice, good portions and well cooked.

My son and I tried the new 'Sunday roast dinner' and it was delicious and excellent value. Extremely generous portions and freshly prepared. The honey glazed parsnips were lovely. We are going to make this a weekly occurrence after his rugby games😁 Staff were as...

I went in here for the first time in a long time. It hasn't changed a great deal, but the new menu was good. I had a good value Burger with chips and a drink. Two Friends had similar and we spent less than £20. I get that there is cheap pub food and good pub food, but this was surprising for the price. Much better than you get from some competing chains.

My local chippy for 3 years. Went tonight half 5ish after a brilliant day out with the family. Chippy tea! Get In! Had to go and get money back as chips were hard in middle, fish had a hair in batter. Pie Luke warm. No good at all after being such a good chippy. Standards dropped massively. Going elsewhere after this

Great food friendly service and value for money. The owners work hard to get your food without waiting a long time. I recommend this chip shop.
