Lord Derby in Fylde

We have dinner in this pub on many occasions when visiting St Anne's never again . On arrival table was dirty having asked for it to be cleaned waited 10 mins Order a starter and 2 main meals after 40 minutes wait main meals arrived before starters sent them back when starter arrived it was not what we had ordered .mains then arrived but by then we had lost our appetite will never go back again it has completely gone down hill . On requesting serviettes we told they had none how on earth can you serve food with no serviettes disgusting .

Just been for the rump steak on offer Monday - Wednesday at £8 49! Absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Brilliant service 10/10

We came Easter Sunday. The sun was out, the place was heaving. We had a lovely meal. We have to say about the young waiter working on the floor, Luke, who despite being rushed off his feet and being grumbled at he was happy and smiling. A credit to the business

Didn't eat just had a lager. Staff good, typical sports pub. Plenty of tvs to watch football or golf etc.

We have had a lovely meal here, excellent value and a great atmosphere. Also free parking right next to the pub. Will definitely be coming back!

When we first arrived at the venue, we noticed that the bar was covered in used bottles and empty glasses and there was hundreds of empty glasses outside on tables, yet we were still given our drinks in plastic cups inside of the pub.When lining up to order food, there was a long queue of people waiting to order and the man behind the bar stopped serving these people and served presumably regulars, who had just walked, instead. As a family of 7, we ordered 5 starters at 5 o'clock and was told there would be a 30 minute wait, but waited over 40 minutes for 2 to arrive and an hour for the other 3 to arrive. All the mains came out staggered- by the time most of the people on the table had by finished, 2 of the mains had still not arrived. The young gentleman serving food was very polite and always smiling, despite being rushed off of his feet and having constant complaints off of customers. From the moment we walked into the pub, it was clear that the staff weren’t prepared for the bank holiday.

Very disappointed.. so this is the second time we've been and it will be our last. Last time we was in it was quite busy and as you would to expect wait for food. Ordered the food and was told an hour. After an hour and half no food so spoken to the bar staff who told me it was being cooked and wouldn't be long. Another half hour wait and still no food so spoke with the manager and eventually nearly two and half hours the food arrived. Then today 20/04/25 we called in for food, again quite busy so I asked how long it would be for food? 45 mins to an hour tops. So I placed the order at 13.00 and just past 14.00 asked how long our food was off. The woman behind the bar said there is an hour and half wait. Obviously I told her when I placed our order I was told 45mins - 1hour, she said they was busy but will go ask. She returned saying it's just being cooked, they are short staffed, they are taking staff off the bar to help in the kitchen, they have run low on supplies. After an hour and a half wait our food had still not arrived so I went to the bar and asked to be refunded. I was met with attitude, pouting lips and silence, no apology for our long wait and no food. So if you do decide to eat here then be prepared to wait a long time and be given every excuse under the book why your food has not arrived. Will I be going back? Not a chance..

Have to be honest we have been to this establishment on a few occasions and not had a bad meal or experience...........that is until today. Lack of staff was evident from the outset with queue to the bar at least 15 people long. We found a table, and ordered our food. Was warned that the wait could be 45 mins but could also get longer. Don't know how it can get longer when the orders are done in the order they are taken. Eventually after waiting a hour and 20 mins we enquired how much longer we had to wait. Told they were just plating it up. 10 mins later the food arrived. It was lukewarm,dry and had obviously been kept under heat for a while. After a further 20 mins we asked where the rest of the food was as only part of the order had arrived. Again got the stock answer that it was just being plated up. Another 10 mins and it arrived and to say it was substandard is an understatement. We begrudgingly had to eat what they served us as with 2 very tired and bored children we had no choice. I cannot blame the staff as they were doing there best but rather a lack of planning with staff rotas as as I said at the start the lack of staff was evident. My 5 year old grandson even said he isn't coming to this pub again as it is rubbish.......... put of the mouths of babes. All in all a disappointment and will not be in a rush to return. Hope someone from Greene King reads this and can give an explanation.

Sat outside in the sun dirty glasses on every table it looks a mess Nobody coming out and picking dirty glasses up sort your staff out it’s Easter Sunday

I absolutely LOVED the SUPREME chick N mix, absolutely stunning concept of chicken and side! I live in LONDON But I will DEFINITELY be back to have this chick N mix #chicken #mix #wing

Great meal and drinks and the top derby. Paul was really friendly and had some good jokes 🙌🏻

I went here with my family. It took an hour for most of the food to arrive which was ridiculous. Some of the food didn't even arrive because it'd been sent to the wrong table then binned. Also, I ordered a boneless wings starter that looked burnt when it came. We won't be eating here again.

Quality was dreadful, cold chips a handful at that, peas and corn on the cob cold, bacon pure fat ,used to come here year's ago was good, , £55 gone,

Poor cold burger that was made upside down. With six chips. I wished I taken a picture now. And this is my first time doing a review. Come for a day out and ended up dislike a meal 🙃

Great meal out with the kids. Food was great and reasonably priced. Paul was super helpful then later made balloon animals with the kids. Thanks Paul

Food was decent but even better was Paul the server! Balloons, pictures for the kids and jokes on the adults. Kids really enjoyed it and that's what matters most!

Fantastic service from Paul. Great host.

Absolutely love this place! The Lord Derby in Lytham is a true hidden gem. The staff are always super friendly, the food is spot on, and the atmosphere is wonderfully relaxed. One of the best parts? It’s genuinely dog friendly — they’ve got water bowls, treats, and make your pup feel as welcome as you are. It’s the perfect stop after a walk, and every visit is a great one!

Love this place! The Lord Derby in Lytham is an absolute gem. Super friendly staff, great food, and a lovely relaxed vibe. One of the best things? It’s properly dog friendly — water bowls, treats, and dogs are made to feel just as welcome as people. Perfect spot after a walk with the pup. Always a great time here! Our dog Rex definitely approves of the doggy menu !

Visited the lord derby this weekend, great value for money, great food, family environment and staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Dog friendly, and very decent pub grub. And fabulous on a sunny summer afternoon.

Great pub in St Anne's, good menu options, reasonably priced drinks, and very friendly staff. It also hosts open mic events among other things, hosted by Patricia, who has been in the entertainment business many years and is absolutely wonderful, and Andy, a pianist who is just as fabulous. The Lord Derby is also excellent at catering for special event, I was lucky enough to attend when a birthday buffet was available, and it was fantastic. And they've got a dartboard and pool tables, proper pub. Free parking too, and ideally situated to visit while enjoying one of the best little towns on the Fylde coast.

Took a long time to come, the chips on my meal was horrible came with table spoon of peas. My dad's breakfast bacon only cooked on 1 side the sausage was hard over all worst pub meal ever had

Paul was very welcoming- great food- great atmosphere. We will visit again, thank you.

amazing pub a stone throw away from the sand dunes, served by paul who was funny & excellent at his job! really enjoyed the fish and chips, coke was crisp as well very good day

Really nice place our server Paul was brilliant

food took over an hour to come with no one to tell us about that long of a wait time,food was really good but when our food came thwy forgot the side of chips and never gave us them or come over to ask about how the food was so we could ask for the side

Very good. Food good. Atmosphere good .clean. cask ale good 🍺✔

Had a great time. Went for breakfast. The bar man Paul made my daughter a rose out of a knapkin.

Paul and Ben made our night... fab dad jokes, I think you got the out the dada base

Decent place to eat. Food was fine, but on 2nd visit the lasagne was supposed to come with salad but they didnt have any!! How can you not have any salad, no sirloin steak and no hot drinks as machine was leaking water all over the floor!

Good friendly pub and with good food. Dog friendly if well behaved. Can get busy because it is good! But also close to the pier and seaside.

Lovely pub Paul is an amazing bar man

Sunday afternoon we had to wait 50 mins for our food, we had two children with us and the wait was far too long! I had the Sunday roast, the turkey and potatoes were very dried up .. Won't be visiting again

Great service from Paul and the food was great. Snuck us in early too!! Thanks!

Great food for the price. Staff great especially Paul, lovely guy.

Lovely Mother’s Day Brunch with the family. Great atmosphere, lovely food and very reasonably priced. Special thanks to Paul and Maya for looking after us.

Great service!! Great staff! Paul served us for the day he was very happy and helpful. Also mya was very lovely.

I enjoy going to this place as they have a great menu for dogs and my dog gets really excited by going here more establishments need to cater for dogs as well as the owners keep up the great work The human food isn't too bad either lol

Ric "The Hat" explains the saying " as different as chalk and cheese." The Taps in Lytham or the Upper George in Halifax are super Greene King pubs.This is not in the same company. Only one real ale on tap on our visit, an ok Abbot Ale. Large pub with lots of outside seating. It is, what it is! Good for pool, darts, tv etc. Pub grub.

Good food at a reasonable price.

Popped in for lunch this afternoon, absolutely lovely and such lovely customer service from paul, will definitely be visiting again

Food was lovely. Dog friendly and also gluten free menu which is always a bonus. Paul was hilarious, he came over a few times telling us jokes and gave our collie some attention which was nice. Highly recommend. Lovely atmosphere too

Absolutely great dog friendly pub. Great welcome and excellent food and drink and such good value for money. We will be back very soon

Service was brilliant ,Paul was very helpful and pleasant.

Called in for lunch today. Great value for money. Nice friendly staff, Paul and mya. Dog friendly. Nice pub inside and out. Will definate be back.

The food for that price is silly id of payed more. All the staff are super friendly, the dog absolutely loved it with a waterbowl waiting for him and without a doubt the cleanest toilets in black pool.

We were a family of 4. We had lunch. It was easy to order & our server Paul was soooo helpful & patient. Food was delicious. Service was great. No complaints at all

Food was bland, had to ask where our food was repeatedly i.e. waited at least 30 minutes for a dessert once ordered over the ordering app they have. At the time of our visit being a lunchtime it wasn't busy either.

Bar staff friendly especially Paul and Jamie

Really nice place the staff here tonight Paul and Jamie are lovely and they made our night.

Bar staff Paul and Jamie are absolutely fantastic, lovely warm welcome, quick service 👍🏻

Amazing service. Very friendly staff. Served by paul and was a great time

Paul is absolutely the best barman ever! He made me the best drink I’ve had in ages. Lovely pub everyone is great here.

Came to stay 2 nights in Lytham for paddy’s day (too quiet tho) we popped in lord derby Sunday it was rammed had a few drinks n left so popped back in today Monday had a couple drinks & ordered chick & mix for nibbles it was Delicious thanks to chef Mel & bar staff Paul (for photos)& Jamie for brightening up our day & your fabulous service also spotless ladies loo’s thank you

Only popped in to see if they were showing the football. And yes they are.

Brilliant food, cheap as chips, with a really good atmosphere.

Great food, busy nice atmosphere, love seeing all the dogs around too.

I had the rump steak, not up to its usual great standard unfortunately, but you can not fault the staff especially Paul who is always cheerful and polite. He's just sung happy birthday to a little girl who was ever so made up. Keep up the good work Paul. Thanks

Really disappointed. Men's toilets were flooded ... pints expensive. Staff were okay. Green king is not worth it. It was better when it was Admiral :(

Food was outstanding well worth making the trip

Needed wheel chair access today.This pub provided this. We ordered food fish and chips with peas and I ordered a scampi with garden peas coffee and a Diet Coke. We had to wait almost an hour for food.This was unacceptable. I was not even told there was quite a wait for food.Because we would not have stayed as I had my elderly mother with us. My order was wrong because fish came out instead of scampi. Did go back to the assistant but she insisted I ordered fish.

Visited around 12 noon today, not very busy, pleasant staff at bar who took our orders for food and drink. Waited almost 1hr to get the food. No apologies, had to chase order. Food was reasonably priced, especially the Senior Citizens choice. Food was ok when it eventually came, but goodness knows how long it would take in the summer months! Wasn’t too impressed by the number of dogs allowed into the place, like a vets!

Waited 30mins for food which was nice in the end, the guy serving us was nice, but needed to read the room he tried making a joke which would be fine but we had waited 30mins for food and after waiting another 30mins for a dessert

Sweetcorn was still quite frozen, chicken undercooked, burger undercooked, no apology from staff. Bad guts shortly after. You could not even pay me to go and eat in there again. Bar staff nice but waitress couldn’t care less.

Once ordered food came quickly and did not disappoint. Had 2 mains for £12.49 Steak and Ale Pie and Hunters Chicken. Both arrived quickly, delicious, hot and very much enjoyed

Bumping up my review again based on my most recent visit. Everything was available and the service was excellent. Food was good and reasonable prices too!

Waited an hour for our starter. Now it has been another hour to have the main. Ordered the senior menu.

Went for a meal for my birthday the staff were fantastic. Sang me happy birthday. Food was lovely too. Will definitely come again. Huge thanks to paul for making my birthday special

Excellent service from Paul and Ben, made our trip really enjoyable and will definitely be back. Food was good and fast service.

Really good place to go, the food was great and the service is really quick, recommend to anyone in the local area. Pop in for a pint and enjoy

Came here for some tea after a nice day in Blackpool. I ordered the xl mixed grill, and my partner had the halloumi flatbread with cheesy chips. My partner said she really enjoyed her meal. However, my xl mixed grill failed to meet satisfaction. As you can see in the picture, my eggs were way overcooked, and my steak, although I asked for it to be medium rare it came out more like medium well. After 5 minutes, the server came back and asked how the food was. I commented on the steak and eggs, and she offered to bring me another egg and steak. However, I politely refused another steak as I had lost confidence and assumed they wouldn't get it right again. After another 5 minutes or so, my replacement egg came out, which was cooked properly. However, at this point, I had pretty much finished my meal. The skillet it came on looked professional and nicely presented. However, after taking the meat off the skillet side, I was met with watery, soggy, supposedly fried onions. I've never been to a greene king before, and I don't think I ever will.

First time visiting. Great service. Especially Paul. Came in with my wife and 3 children. My youngest son is autistic and wasn't settled. Paul came over and spoke to him, brought some colouring and stickers, he even managed to make my son laugh! Great environment. Quiet but also very welcoming and child friendly. Would recommend.

Poor entertainment and food only warm

Well I came far a family dinner and the food was amazing I recommend coming here u get grate service so thank u Paul

Ordered a mixed grill and xl mixed grill which both came extremely over cooked as we asked for medium rare but got it over cooked. My partner only ate chips and egg due to all meat been over cooked.

It's a tasty food , great service , lovely staff and a good pub.

Ben behind the bar searched the whole pub to reunite my bank card with me. Like a doughnut, I'd left it in the machine !! What a guy ....... Great pub, good atmosphere, come and share a pint in here , you'll not regret it 👌

Hosted my mother’s wedding reception this past weekend and it’s was brilliant a big thanks to all the staff who were amazing it’s made her day that much more special well done and thank you.

I attended a wedding party. There were about fifty or so people there. The atmosphere was absolutely amazing and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Later there was a local band that’s when the place went electric. Brilliant food, wonderful staff and good food. Thank you Lord Darby for a brilliant day.

The only place to be in St Annes is always friendly great value for money and most important dog friendly. Served by Paul today very helpful

Great warm welcome everytime we go in very friendly staff always clean and tidy

Paul, excellent service. Friendly and professional and a great ambassador for The Lord Derby

Great offers on food … chilling atmosphere just to kick back !! Great helpful bar staff & certainly Can’t fault it !!! Try it

🤫🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🤩🙂🙂 The drink were really and served by paul

The steak and ale pie was brilliant. Best I've had and good value for money. Service is warm and welcoming. On the down side, I'm not a fan of dog friendly pubs.

We had roast lunch only food was poor, especially roast potatoes which were old warmed up looked like from day before it's a shame location realy good you can take dogs in a bonus but food let's it down

Lovely pub,very clean,good food and table service,dog friendly...

Excellent food.. dog friendly.. and Paul who looked after us made us feel really welcome.. I would highly recommend

Great food and great hospitality from Paul

Excellent value for money (January special) good food and very friendly bar staff

Had lunch there today with three friends and Lizzi my dog. Lovely kunch and very reasonable. Used the bogoff so even cheaper than we were expecting. Lovely and warm and welcomed nicely by Paul. Paul looked after us beautifully and had dog treats in his pocket which Lizzi loved. So much better than wetherspoons who are firmly against dogs. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed the warm and kind atmosphere that Paul provided. Lizzi loved him too. Thanks very much. We will be back. PS this was our first visit here. Been to shovels and Eagle...in bispham but this was by far the nicest welcome 🙏 Please see this as reviews from 4 people as I'm writing on behalf of us all. Thanks. Tracey, Tina, Julie, Karen and Lizzi.

Great experience at this pub today whilst on a midweek break with my wife at St Annes. Paul, who was running the bar on his own most of the time at lunchtime, couldn't do enough for us, and was all over the place helping less-able customers and paying good attention to us. The food was good too; hot and plentiful and great value for money.

Food was cooked beautifully, fresh and tasty. The bar staff Paul and Helen were lovely, friendly and helpful

Visit regularly and never had a bad experience, amazing service amazing food and the perfect atmosphere to get out of the cold today, perfect place to watch the football, have a drink with a scrumptious food! Served by Paul today who gave some Brilliant jokes which I'll be using and ensured nothing was too much trouble....the pub will always been highly recommend by us!

Friendly staff, and dog friendly so we were able to watch the Liverpool match inside.

Me and my family love the Lord Derby! Great atmosphere and the staff are so friendly! Would definitely recommend. Shoutout to Paul!

Great pub, atmosphere and staff always a warm welcome and quick service. Dogs always welcome and made a fuss of. Paul provided great hospitality - would definitely recommend!

excellent food and polite staff clean with sports tv

Special thanks to Jason the chef food delicious 😋. Paul for his great service.
