Leyland Lion in South Ribble

The local watering hole, a spoons is a spoons and this one really is a spoons. Decent meals and great for a drink or two or three or four.

Just nobody can beat the price of cask ale in there.. Quite a good selection on. Ideal for a good breakfast..👍

Spent 20mins trying to get an app order through. Wouldn’t go past Apple Pay and froze. Re downloaded app same happened again. 1 girl serving asked a gaggle of staff members if anyone could serve me was told no. There was a bunch of young girls all under 18 from our estate ordering drinks individually girl who was serving was going as fast as possible . Really annoyed this place has gone seriously down hill. Used to go weekly no chance past few years poor with no visable leaders and no staff

Lovely place , affordable and friendly 🤗

We visited the Leyland Lion with family and friends we've been a few times before and it's been great sadly on this visit it wasn't.The pub was very busy which is fine as it was a Friday afternoon.We needed a table that seated five but struggled to get one.After a few minutes we manged to find one however the table was still full of empty plates and food.I went to the bar and politely asked a female staff member could someone please come and clear and clean our table.At the time she was tapping away on a tablet I assume sorting out app orders.The look she gave me was awful she didn't even reply just nodded her head in what looked like annoyance that I'd interrupted her or even asked.She did come to clean the table but her face was now like thunder.Me and my wife thanked her and again got no response then all the while we were in the pub spending a lot of money she just scowled in our direction.This won't stop us visiting the pub in the future but staff need to learn to be polite.One more point is I understand it was busy but having worked a lot in pubs myself in the past there's nothing worse than saying to customers Who's next this just causes friction staff should be actually clocking who's next??..

Not as good as other weatherspoons

Called at this pub on our way to Blackburn yesterday. How disappointing this pub is, tables not cleared and dirty, food all over the floor and in general seems no one seems to care. Needs to have a refurb.

Always busy. The food is good value for money and if there are any issues they will sort it. Most of the staff are friendly

Excellent. Haggis, neeps & tatties with a Scottish alcoholic drink, £6.95. A single measure of Bells whisky with a ginger ale mixer 99p.Mammy,Daddy, that's braw. Ye jist canny whack it!

Awful, simply awful the management really do need to learn the rules also learn hospitality towards customers , disgusting management, feel sorry for the staff under them

Awful night , they have a manager that knows nothing about hospitality Maddie I think her name, went around asking all locals to drink up at 3 min past the hour insisting she had a long shift and wanted to go home , telling people that they would be barred if they didn't get out by 10 past, this was within the 20/30 min drinking up time set by wetherspoons !!

It's a wetherspoons, you know what your going to get

Ordered a chicken burger through the app . It arrived and the chicken was so cold . It was like it was the precooked frozen chicken that was defrosted and just put on the bun . Bar staff and manager were good and refunded me the money . Other than food it was a good night

Food very poor. Cold lumpy gravy. 10 peas. No filling in what is ment to be a steak and kindney pie. Shortcrust? Pastry or burnt. Who no's. No response from staff reguarding complaint. Just gave un-eaton meal back and walked away. Defo not as described.

This was a fantastic pub for drinking, with a bright and cosy interior! The green colour pattern is really nice and funnel on the wall is an interesting addition, counter is well-presented too. I had a refreshing pint of Kopparberg, appreciating the outdoor seating which was also clean!

What can I say we have been coming here my sister and myself for years , to day was ,not good we ordered fish and chips ,peas it looked ok when it came but it was not the case ,chips were like warm peas cold my fish was all hard batter ,a bit of hard fish in the middle my sister's fish was lovely white and crispy ,the manager just stud there grinning and saying they were both the same , she offered us two coffee to take out we would have insisted ,to change the food , but we had to get to Chorley hospital of 3 very very rude server who we spoke to going outy sister asked the lady who had just got herfood how was it she said not good just warm chips warm told the same person walking past with food she just grinedat what she said I would never inploy a person like her not good for the place

The food wasn't as good as usual

Nice tidy place, good size, pleasant staff.

Food and drink were good and the service fast and friendly

Great Wetherspoons and brilliant price for breakfast

Great place for a great price pint.

Standard wetherspoons, can't complain

One of the nicer Spoonz I've visited!! Staff friendly and quick service.... Called for tea on our way home and would certainly call again!

Driving from Scotland to Wiltshire needed a break and food but not prepared to pay motorway prices The Leyland Lion is just 1 mile from the motorway- perfect!

We used to use this 'Spoons regularly, but it has really gone down hill. I popped in for a breakfast today to kill time, and I now wish I hadn't bothered. I ordered a Small American Breakfast and every item on the plate was luke warm. I would have complained, but I just couldn't be bothered. When I finished the meal, I pushed the plate to the side, and it was collected promptly, but here's the worst bit! The waitress couldn't even be bothered to ask me if I had enjoyed my breakfast. Of course, I was ready with a " No, it was cold!", but I wasn't even given the opportunity to say it. I won't be back any time soon. Wetherspoons Leyland, you have lost a customer!

Great pub , staff are really good and friendly and also try there very best when it's busy . Great team of people . Food is very good value and is quite good too , Massive selection of drinks and some good deals at times

Orded from the app turns out after waiting 30 minutes they had ran out of what was ordered came with a replacement, charged the card used on the app £4+ & then tuck the drink back when i contested! What a waste & it was chuck away 🤣 I know it's only a few quid but should of been told that I was being charged rather than unlawfully taking the money with out asking.

It's nearly half price for a pint, cheap and cheerful you might say. You know what you're getting and it's consistent. What is there not to like about it.

Large premises. Tidy and clean and good service . Upstairs toilets not a good idea,especially since up a fairly narrow staircase.

It's a wetherspoons, the greggs of pubs - it could be really nice but tables are rarely clear and definitely not clean. Staff seem to struggle as food often arrives long before drinks ordered at the same time.. Has potential but I'll still go as it's cheap and food is ok.

New on the breakfast menu American pancakes with fruit are absolutely delicious My new favourite breakfast

3 meals ordered :- Burger & Chips - poorly presented & cold chips Scampi & Chips - cold chips but scampi was nice Sirloin Steak - more fat & inedible rind than meat. Short staffed, waited unreasonable time for food and at times only one person behind the bar serving. Staff whilst weren’t unfriendly, didn’t appear to be happy in their work and no atmosphere. Give it a miss in future

Food was great, had a sweet chilli wrap. Good portion offered, staff helpful. Only downside we had was someone came over asking if we ordered a delivery of a pizza, had the box in his hand.

Great service and even spoke to an employee who was going to teach Spanish! And she spoke Spanish great prices also!

One of our fave Spoons this. First time visit today but definitely going again. Very nice inside - turn left rather than right to avoid Mums n babies lol. Staff nice and food great. Had breakfast with loads of extras like porched egg & black pudding. Gorgeous!!

1 breakfast sat waiting for 10 mins under lights until husband ready. Mine was cold. Poached eggs hard boiled!

It's a Wetherspoons Cheap & cheerful & decently priced Real Ales

This pub is a typical spoons but with some interesting additional featues that celebrate the towns motor manufacturing heritage. You can sit in bus seats and enjoy the many photographs and wall art that pay homage to the motor industry. Toilets are upstairs, there is a good outside area to the rear (complete with old red phone box) but no parking on site. The pub is pretty big so you should not have much trouble with being accommodated. Watch out for the usual unbeatable offers of a drink with you meal. We all had something different and was happy with our choices!.

It's one of my favourite JD Wetherspoons, staff always friendly and the food is always piping hot.

Excellent meal and good service

Came here as a meeting place before we headed out on Friday. The place is absolutely filthy, dirty floors, sticky tables, lipstick marks on all the glasses the three of us got. Toilets leave a lot to be desired. Very disappointing

Prices good. Staff great. But give it a clean! Always dirty tables, food on upholstery

Ordered 6 meals all came stone-cold the waitress replaced all the meals . But hard to believe aches can send out 1 cold meal let alone 6.

Good food at reasonable price , easy to order at the table using your phone prices have not gone up

Came in to have some breakfast before going to music in the park. Kelly was absolutely fabulous and so polite, even though she was run off her feet doing both bar and food service. Only put 4 stars for food because they missed my mushroom, but Kelly ran back and got me one without any fuss. What a lovely member of staff.

Food very poor. If you like Food go somewhere else!

Very good choices on drinks be alcoholic or not with an extensive food menu that is keenly priced to suit all pockets. Noticed several elderly couples drinking limitless coffee, drinkers enjoying cheap ales and families seated enjoying their meals. Today’s offerings were the curry club with drinks included in the total price, slightly more cost for garlic naans and bowl of chips. Ok meals of tikka masala and vindalo curries with rice and popadoms not overly large but decent mix of curry to rice.

Chicken Boneless Deal with alcoholic drink for under £10! Great value for money! x

An inexpensive, friendly, and clean place.

All good. Typical spoons. More staff wouldn't go a miss but then prices would go up

I'm in Leyland for work training, and we called into The Leyland Lion for a lunch break. I've used a few Wetherspoons and have always found them great value, and this one is no exception, it's nice and clean, and staff were welcoming and friendly, the furniture is spread out nicely so it's not to cramped together. As always I found it a lot quicker to got the bar to order my food, while a few others used the app, I had a jacket potato with beans and salad, it was presented nicely cooked spot on, didn't take too long to arrive at my table. The price was good as you would expect at Wetherspoons, and the soft drinks are the cheapest out there, most pubs you go to are a rip of for soft drinks. Well done The Leyland Lion, I would recommend this place to anyone passing through.

Clean tables and floors! One of the best Wetherspoon pubs. Decent food, decent price. Staff are friendly and helpful. Great for the on the spare of the moments decision to eat out. Breakfast menu is varied.

Another wetherspoons pub food ok drinks well priced. Only problem was some very rowdy men at table near us had to move because of language and we had our 6 year old granddaughter with us. Otherwise ok we try to find a wetherspoons pub wherever we are.

Great food and drink choices - very cheap place for drinks. The atmosphere is lacking a little bit as the lights are too bright and there is no music at all however, it is the same at all wetherspoons so that is to be expected.

As always good food and good selection of craft ales pleasant surroundings very busy place.

The short blonde woman that was on shift as deputy manager on Tuesday 2nd April is the rudest cow I’ve ever come across. Dont go here if you want friendly service. Completely ruined our night and she shouldn’t be working in a customer facing role. Sort your staff out at this location. Even the other girl serving us was rude.

Seems to have declined somewhat since our last visit. Looks like it could do with a good clean. Went for breakfast, bacon was hard on one plate and extremely fatty on the other, toast was warmed stale bread and eyes you'd take an eye out if thrown. Staff looked fed up. Hoping this negative visit is a one off as we do enjoy a Spoons breakfast.

Staff are very friendly and service was excellent

Love the history of these pubs. Worth a visit.

All perfect, very nice breakfast, worth every penny, thank you!! Update after couple of years: still one of the best wetherspoons breakfasts. Thank you!!!

Usual Wetherspoons fare, served by friendly staff.

Typical Spoons. Large rooms, toilets in the next county. It was clean, and the service was very good. Friendly efficient staff.

Looking tired needs a good clean or revamp

Met up with family & friends , good atmosphere, food could not complain brilliant service

Standard Spoons, reasonably priced breakfast and free refills and your usual gaggle of old chuffers supping ale at 9am 👍

A typical spoons pub busy, cheap beer all kinds of people I mean not horrendous but maybe not my kinda place not bad for a quick drink.

Food stood at service hatch at least 15 minutes before being served to me therefore cold on arrival

We both visited this wetherspoon whilst exploring the surrounding area, we found the staff to be pleasant and attentive, and enjoyed browsing the theme of the decor, it also has an outdoor area to sit out on the sunnier days, the only downside we the toilets were upstairs except for the disabled which were on the ground level.

Not been in the Leyland lion for a very long time. It was cheap ale, clean and the young man behind the bar was very cheerful, and had a good sense of humour. What else can you ask for 🙂

First visit here very nice friendly staff nice surroundings food you get what you pay for remember it's pub food reasonably priced good value for money

£25 spent on food, it's 9am and it's all cold. What a waste of money

Always busy whenever we call in the evening. Prices are cheap and service at the bar isn't too slow. Cheap and cheerful is an apt description. Tables can take a while to be cleaned but staff are helpful when asked and it is a good place for a cheap night out.

This is the place to go if you want affordable food with good service and a lively atmosphere.

Excellent service good food beer Excellent

Typical wetherspoons to be fair. I've starred it but on some nights could be lower. Usually only 1 person on the bar and on occasion quite a wait. Staffing is definitely not what it should be. Food is nice but standard for spoons, but it really does have a good atmosphere whenever you go in.

Great pub for a good breakfast first thing in the morning. Have been two days on the trot this weekend. It's quiet, friendly and the staff were helpful. Great offer on breakfast at the moment too.

Usual Weatherspoons, but by far the busiest pub visited in Leyland that day...says something.

Good weatherspoons Always clean and great food Excellent staff...well Done guys

Service slow didn't bring drinks until half way through meal

Nice place,first visit,looking forward to the next.

Excellent and well recommend wetherspoons mobile app order drinks n food from your phone to table fantastic

Met up for a planning meeting, staff friendly and helpful. Place busy but not too noisy.

Needs more staff to keep on top of the tables like all weatherspoons.

Great food & we all enjoyed what we had. Only problem we found was the waiting time for the food! Needs more waiters as it was mega busy. We felt sorry for them as they were rushed off their feet. Will still continue to go when it's not as busy.

Staff friendly good wines, beers, spirits at great prices. Unfortunately it's beginning to look a little tired , especially the carpets. 😔

Nice spot for some food. Weatherspoons prices are great and friendly staff would go again

Great value and speedy service!

Always busy but the staff are friendly and helpful and the food is served hot and is of good quality. Never had to wait too long even when it's heaving! Lots of choice on the menu too.

Very clean, quiet, nice Christmas decor. The new sugar free breakfast beans really let it down though. Plus staff gossiping continuously & loudly not the best vibe...

Great service as always great food

Clean and tidy, staff friendly and good quick service. The breakfast and cup of tea I had where delicious.

Very nice breakfast for a change. Good value for money.

Didn't dine but the beer was excellent

Staff should be trained correctly would like to point out just one thing when 4 people out of 5 have finished eating do not take the plates away until all 5 have finished.thankyou

Had breakfast here, cost less than other Wetherspoons, great!

The Cheese Burger and chips was amazing. My wife had a chicken curry which she said and I quote (That was amazing). 1 lime and soda and 1 wine prices are really low. Thankyou to the bar tender (forgot the name) very kind. :)

Food always good and served hot. Bar always a little rushed. Could do with a good deeper clean of the venue. Especially the material in the booths. Staff need to listen better regarding allergies.

What a great spoons.bit modern but nice with a bit of history of the lion bus

Some of the food on the plate was cold hot food on cold plates no wonder prices were good food tasted about right for the price .

Great price on drinks and good selection. Food ok, get what you pay for.
