Guy's & Owd Nell's Tavern in Wyre

Always a treat coming here beautiful setting on the Lancaster Canal. Im dieting but cannot resist a little indulgence!!! Just the best steak and kidney suet pudding. And the chips are to die for. A must for hearty food lovers will not be disappointed.

Great food at reasonable price.

We go to Guys often and highly rate it but decided to try the tavern for a change as there was a fair outside. Granted it was very busy but we won’t return. Food was quick arriving and was ok for pub food. However, it was the service that was a real let down. We found a table and asked for a menu and we were given a very stained paper menu. We asked at the bar for some crayons as there was a card for kids to colour and told they had none. The food arrived but we had no cutlery. We asked a passing waitress who looked put out we spoke to her. Not sure what was worse the fact she handled the fork end with her hands or that she practically threw them on the table while giggling and chatting with another waitress. I think people will forget an ok meal and return but they won’t forget poor service. It’s fantastic you hire very young people but please train them.

Great food . Fire was amazing in the fireplace warm and welcoming

Food great. Service very good. Enjoyed our stay at the lodge. Nice quite room .

Friendly, helpful staff. Amazing food - so much of it and all freshly prepared. The prawn salad was stunning.

Really big area for meeting up with friends and enjoying drinks, plenty of choice and the Italian restaurant serves gorgeous food

Great pub serving great food. Themed events on every few weeks so worth checking website to see what is next on, especially when the kids are off school. Great for the whole family. Dog friendly.

I love this place, been here loads,lovely food, nice scenery outside,would definitely recommend!

Just had a margarita glutenfree pizza. Probably the nicest gluten free pizza I've ever had 😊

Brilliant food, excellent service and live act..

Changed quite a lot since my last visit, not for me .

It's a popular place and with the seating outside and it's location it's a great place yo visit. Beer was spot on

Dropped chips, took ages to come out and were burnt

An excellent, if a little odd, place for a meal, especially if you have to eat gluten- free. The food is recommended. On the outside it looks like one of those creepy, slightly run- down theme parks you get in horror films. On the inside, it is a rustic- themed and quite dark restaurant and bar.

Great to just sit and watch the swans gliding down the canal.

Catered for a table of 10, and the food came all together and was delicious. Good menu, good atmosphere, and an ideal setting alongside the canal. Love it

Good place to go with kids ....

Mmmm not very happy travelling 45 minutes to get there worst Sunday dinner. No roast potatoes, no coliflower cheese and gravy was like water. Staff did bring it over on separate plate tho after asking for it Chicken burger was cold. Although pork belly and wings was lovely

Be going here 30 plus years always for the steak and kidney pudding always delicious except for this time we ordered 4 and all 4 were awful no taste only 2 and 3 pieces steak or kidney we traveled 35 miles to be totally let down hopefully it was just one off will be watching reviews

Lovely Pub lunch,Great Food reasonably priced.

This is a beautiful thatched roofed pub with accommodation. There is a canal at the side of the pub where you can sit and watch the ducks and boats chugging past. There are plenty of tables outside around the building. Some are undercover. I was a bit hesitant to try the food here after reading some comments. The food was excellent. I had the cheese and onion pie, chips, and vegetables. My friend had the steak pudding with chips, vegetables, and gravy. And a side order of fried mushrooms. There was loads of steak in the pudding. There is ample parking and is fairly flat for wheelchair users. There is a brilliant car boot in the summer about 5 minutes up the road. We will definitely be eating here again.

Visited with my parents, the burgers were good but the chips were terrible - only just cooked and not very warm. The ducks enjoyed them though! We sat outside which would have been lovely if dreadful music hadn’t been blaring out everywhere. Completely unnecessary. Service was good, the tittle in the bar were very friendly and efficient.

Busy but, great food (pizza and garlic bread) and location.

Visit once with a client and other carer feel relaxed

Great spot for a bit of grub, relaxed pub environment.

Nice place to sit by the Lancaster canal for a summer afternoon drink.

Didn't have food, met up with a group of scooterists.

We just had a drink outside. It was busy, the setting is lovely, and the outside space is well set out.

Great canalside location allows access to walks, food and service is great

Stunning pub Amazing food Brilliant staff Love this place

One of the best places i have ever been. i shud no because ive been around the world 4 times being in the Royal Navy

This place has gone downhill. Is there new management? Visited last night around 7pm expecting a nice relaxed canal side tea. Music blaring inside and out, way too loud. Ordered vegetarian pizza, pepperoni pizza and salmon sandwich. Vegetables on pizza, looked like they had been thrown on top of a margherita pizza, cold and raw. Pizza base not cooked through either, very soggy doughy base. Salmon sandwich (salmon surprise, as very little salmon) served on what looked like Aldi bloomer bread (not granary as it once was) fries, and shop bought coleslaw (No side salad) Pepperoni pizza was greasy. Staff attempting to tidy tables and chairs around us, throwing chairs under tables, making more noise. Place looked unkept, tables could do with a revamp…just tired looking and short of a deep clean. It’s a shame because Owd Nell’s was once a lovely place, sadly that’s not the case anymore.

Great location. Lovely atmosphere

Owd Nells feels like Old Nells as people say. I went here with high hopes but unfortunately the food wasn’t great. The country pub atmosphere is nailed and the service is wonderful but the eating experience could really be improved. My fish was overcooked as was the chips. I’ll definitely visit again and see what’s improved!

Good basic pub grub. Good size portions.

Fantastic place lots of caricature. Good choice of food on the menu. I had the pudding and chips very good.the bar prices are very reasonable for a restaurant. Then take a stroll down the canal to work of your meal.

Very nice place to go to but we found the brìnks a bit expensive a pint of cider and a small wine £12 will go back but not as often

Great place to grab a cheap dinner, very nice and lovely ice-cream. Kids loved it.

Large canal-side pub with large outside seating area. Piped music is a tad too loud outside, if you are close to the speakers. Good range of food at a reasonable price. Great range of beers and drinks (there were 3 golden ales to choose from). Order food at the bar and table service is very efficient.

Burger slightly over cooked ploughman's was great children's meal good drinks were good

The thatching looks so tired everything else was pleasant

Been there before and the food was lovely, however this time the Food was unfortunately greasy and I couldn't eat it. Would still go again as we have already rebooked for December. Wouldn't let one bad experience stop me.

Great venue and atmosphere. We had a slight issue with one of the dishes. The way the manager sorted this was impeccable, minimum of fuss and rectified beyond what we had originally expected.

I visited with my daughter for a catch up lunch. Service at the till to order was very slow with the staff making coffees and talking. I ordered the cheese and onion pie for my daughter and I asked if I could have the prawn sandwich but have the sauce on the side. The girl said yes. When it came the sauce was already on. I asked the waitress who was not interested. Poor as she just didn't care. Poor training. I wouldn't go again as it is very expensive and has a very busy, not remotely relaxing feel. Such a shame.

my friend and i visited on a sunny saturday at the end of June and although the atmosphere was great and we enjoyed ourselves, we felt the price increases for the food since our last visit were ok based on cost of living challenges but the quality had dropped which was disappointing. We will absolutely visit again but next time maybe only for drinks - especially if it is busy.

Love it here. Generous portions, great prices, great staff, lovely place.

Gorgeous place for family and friends, everyone will enjoy and find something for themselves from ice-cream to the steak, from ale to cocktails

It was nice to sit outside and have a cold drink

Great atmosphere enjoyed our afternoon. We sat outside in the sun .

Have visited before, really like the place, everyone seems friendly and great staff and location.

Drove past here a few times and always wanted to come and visit So glad I have its absolutely lovely what a place to food it so tasty and on such a lovely day like today the suns out and people here with there dogos lovely

Dark hole, had its day.. Dirty smelly bar area full of empty glasses. Snow flake staff, slow service not interested at all.

A familiar menu of favourite and specials at very reasonable prices.

Great place nice people,nice food good day at the side of the canals up near Garstang with all barges comeing and going Great days

Been here regularly, 4 of us eent for dinner, the waitress dropped 1 of the meals on the floor as she served it, two of us eat our meals whilst 2 waited 25 minutes for a replacement to be cooked, one meal we waited for was a ploughmans !!!!! Thw waitress then delivered the food,after 5 minutes my wife stormed into the kitchen and asked if there were any cutlery to eat the meal with, we had to pick the dropped food off the floor !!!!! The waitress looked like she didnt want to be there,well it will be a while untilwe return,the service eas simply awful.

Great selection of food. All the food we had was very tasty. Staff were very friendly. Service was first class.

Prosciutto E Fungi pizza at £13.95 appeared like a Birds Eye frozen pizza. Not prosciutto at all, more like thin sandwich game cut into 1cm squares, few little mushrooms. Cheese had barely melted and it appeared anaemic and uncooked. Not hot throughout, tasted boring as hell. Requested a box and said I’d cook it when I got home. Staff very nice, service good Nice setting by the canal Used to be the place to go but…wouldn’t bother going for the food

Best steak and kidney pudding EVER!

Lovely food and drink has become the standard for this tavern. Nowhere in the north West can compare

Stop of in the canal cruiser, loved it here.

Had Fish and Chips and mushy peas , so far best I've had in my travels in UK.

Just had drinks.. lovely place..

Great choice, huge portions, food hot. Veg was not to our liking but more than adequate.

Food not cracking, not enough staff even though it was lunchtime, beer selection OK though

Beautiful scenery and quaint surroundings. A picturesque inn on the canal side. We only stayed for a drink and it was fairly quiet. The interior is very nice and the drinks were of good quality. Only slight niggle was the speed of service but that is only a slight niggle. All in all, a very nice establishment

AVOID, AVOID AVOID. Called in for a bite to eat. The soup, well you could have stood a spoon upright with uncooked vegetables. Awful. Stale bread. Roast beef Sandwich. Dry, tasteless and rather cold. Chips were cold too. Couldn't be bothered complaining. Hardly ate anything however the dogs enjoyed the beef. Will not be returning, ever.

Stopped here to cool down during the hot weather. Had a nice refreshing drink and a snack. Food ok. What I really saw, shocked me. There were 4 bar staff, 3 lads and 1 girl and a lady cleaning tables. There must have been over 50 dirty glasses strewn along the bar. A few were moved, a lot remained. Nobody seemed to care. The place looked untidy, unloved and uncared for. 30 minutes later, they were still there. See photo. Unprofessional, to allow that to happen.

Great atmosphere, great food, great service.

Lovely place for lunch especially if the weather is good and you can sit by the canal. 4 of us ate, I picked beefburgers, which were pretty grim, over processed, suggest going for fresh food, cheese pie went down well, garlic bread great too

Varied food and drink k selections and everyone in the group was delighted with their choices.

3 of us had a pub lunch today blonde girl behind the bar very very rude I asked for mussels she said we don't do them any more really rude to us scowling at us! I had steak sandwich very over cooked beef brought home for the dog fish and chips were good and ceaser salad good wine cheap and nasty tasting asked for cake and ice cream was told there was no vanilla ask cream then a lovely lady who worked there over heard us and she said I order the ice cream and I have been off but I am sure there is some so she got us some which was good as it was for my mum whose birthday it was very disappointed today

Really enjoyed my meal here. I had the Shrimp salad. Large portion with lots of salad. Very good vibe and right next to a very picturesque walk along the canal.

Loved it, first time we'd been, great food, friendly staff & dog friendly! Will definitely be going again, our granddaughter will love it, especially the ice cream shop!

Great food, lovely relaxed atmosphere, but does get really busy on a hot day.

Great area off the A6 to pull in, eat, drink and stretch your legs.

We came into the pub as a large booking of 20, pre-booked over 4 weeks before. When booking, we advised them that we would be bringing a dog with us. When we arrived at the pub, we were shown through to the table in a carpeted area and offered drinks. A few minutes later, a very abrupt and rude manager came over to the table. We believe she was the manager, however she never introduced herself. She told us that the dog would have to leave the pub as they don't accept dogs in carpeted areas. She did this with a raised voice in a busy area of the pub, with other tables looking at us. We told the "manager" that the booking was made with the dog included and it was not explained to us at the time of booking that dogs would not be allowed in that area. Her manner around the whole situation was terrible and she made us feel very uncomfortable. We were celebrating an 80th birthday at the time, and felt this put a dampener on the evening. Maybe this individual needs some lessons in customer service and the booking team needs to inform customers of the policies around dogs when booking tables.

Brilliant place, nice food, canal side eating lovely setting.

Good food, great staff. Nice to sit outside beside the canal... Dogs are welcome.

Wow what has happened to this came here for food sunday and the whole experience was terrible this used to be the best place to come for food, service young lad on the bar serving good was rude and more interested in flirting with his barmaid sidekick who could only muster enough energy to ask about drinks orders with food and not actually take a food order which caused a tailback at the till that was out the door!! The food came I had pate which used to come with a lovely big piece of crusty bread this occasion it was 2 thin pieces of stale brown toast which was terrible to say the least pate was still good but couldn't enjoy it then the "famous steak and kidney pudding" texture and everything was lovely apart from the fact there was only kidney Inside it, I would of mentioned it to the waitress when the check back was done but it wasn't have to say I was very very disappointed I'm not going to be stupid and say I'm never going to go there again because that would just be daft but i really do hope these negative reviews are picked up on and the quality that was so good before manages to return.

Service absolutely shocking, staff made us feel awkward for wanting to be served, seemed like no one was in charge and staff just couldn't be bothered. We felt like a big inconvenience and we had made a reservation. It's a shame because it's a nice place and the food is good

Jordan is a great asset to this establishment deserves a pay rise 🫶🏼food was lovely too ordered the salmon salad which was such a slay

Spent 15min trying to get served a beer, then gave up. Need better/more staff

Ordered a prawn sandwich and a salmon sandwich.... received a prawn sandwich and a beef sandwich. When I said I ordered salmon I was told I hadn't and did I have a receipt. Wasn't given a receipt when I paid and couldn't be bothered arguing as it was busy and I just wanted to eat. Beef was tender but really dry and cut so thick that it was difficult to eat a sandwich so dry. Fed most of it to my dog who enjoyed it. Prawn sandwich apparently was okay. Haven't eaten there for a long time as quality had gone down and won't be eating there again..... unless of course I get a receipt to prove what I ordered!

Went there for a league bowling match (which we lost) and were invited by the team to have some refreshments with themafter the match. This turned out to be chicken, chips, sausages, garlic bread and pizza! Thànk you, Owd Nell's bowling team.

Poor range of beers. Good location on the canal Service and staff are good. Toilets didn't have toilet paper. Left after one pint as would be drinking for the sake of it. Done a visit. Wouldn't go again. So many very good pubs in the area.

Extremely busy when weather is good. Great selection of food. Pizzas delicious and freshly home made. Ploughman's enormous.

Brilliant place to go in the sunshine...great food and well priced drinks...gets very busy for a good reason...!

Had bar food. Ok, long wait but very busy. Can walk by canal and stay overnight if wanted. Had ribs and wings, but very charcoaled. Over done for me but someone else may like that so hence average score.

Pleasant peaceful and nice views with brilliant staff

Best place on the A6 for a meal plus entertainment. An excellent location by the canal.

Nells very busy bank holiday Sunday. Food normally ace but waited quite longer then normal.. my gammon was under rated and my mate's fish and chips was soggy batter and mushy peas was like cement put the ice-cream was to die but liked I said it was very busy

Nice food and nice place, also dog friendly:)

Peasantly surprised. Shared the fish platter for £20 and there was well enough for two, loads of prawns, cockles, muscles, salmon, halibut and some other fish I can't remember, crusty bread and salad, thought it was very good value for money, we were stuffed with a lovely view over the canal.

Always a nice stop off for something to eat. If you are in the area pop.in and take a look. It's right on the canal side.

Excellent cheese and onion pie, interesting interior, welcoming and friendly

No good , rather unclean. I'd prefer not to go back. Carpets looked worn and dirty. It used to be a lovely place to dine

A lovely place for a cosy drink by the water 🙂

Excellent , lovely friendly staff , nice atmosphere amazing food . Very big portions
