Fabulous food nice atmosphere and very nice service . I had the ribs with salad and my husband had the steak and kidney pudding. Fabulous home cooked taste . Generous portions and reasonable prices . The halloumi fries were delicious too. It was warm enough to eat outside so that was an extra bonus . Great for a walk of the canal afterwards.

Lovely old buildings and great outside space in the summer, however inside the place looks very tired with old dirty carpets, paint coming off the wall etc. The past couple of times I have visited, the bar has been covered in used glasses- even at less busy times. Food menu is average and could also do with some work, the pizzas can be good, however I have also tried the Sunday roast there which I felt was extremely poor. Has potential to be a fantastic destination after a bit of a revamp and more care taken but as things stand, not worth the visit.

Used to be a regular here when I lived nearby. Was passing by today and thought I'd stop for lunch. A slightly surreal experience - I haven't been there for, it must be 35 years, and it doesn't seem to have changed a bit! Seriously.......not a bit, I swear even the menu was the same, albeit at increased prices. Had a roast beef sandwich.....which was just like it was 30 or so years ago, too. Had a slightly dingy feel back in the day, but there was a good atmosphere. Can't really judge what it's like these days but seemed a bit lacking today. It was busy so I guess it can't be all bad.

Poor quality take away food, served up at restaurant prices. The Garlic bread with tomato was tasteless with cold tomato sauce slapped on top. Garlic bread with cheese was at least hot, but far, far too much greasy plastic cheese. The Garlic baked stuffed mushrooms (“our famous stuffed Mushrooms “) appeared to have been decanted into an Iron bowl straight from the Microwave. Uneven portion sizes, as we both ordered the same. Slovenly presented. Both with the food & the waiting staff. No one approached to ask if our meal was satisfactory. We left in disgust. Won’t be taking the time or trouble to call again

A lovely spot in the world and even canal side peaceful scenery ruined by loud rap music played throughout the beer garden. Even the ducks weren't keen. What really spoilt it though was when i had almost finished my drink noticing that the glass had two red lipstick stains on it. Left my drink and we left. wont be hurrying back either.

We have been going to Old Nels for over 40 years and been happy with the food, but this was one of the worst meals we have ever , cold chips and veggies and tuff over cooked nells chicken , we complained and the young girl said she could get us fresh chips but we said we would have it with salad instead,we expected to get a fresh fried chicken but the old chicken came back even dryer , grandchild’s chicken nuggets were the same ,she couldn’t cut them , not good enough for £38 , and having to come home to cook dinner , very disappointing! .

We have eaten at both Guys and Owd Nells for years, unfortunately over the last few months we’ve noticed a significant increase in the prices across the board and a lack of car both at the bar, food preparation and service. My dad and I have been having breakfast here over the last 4 or 5 weeks and each time the same order has varied significantly. We ordered a basic bacon and egg toasted sandwich and coffee. On one occasion the break was almost burned, the next time it was lightly toasted on one side and most recently the bacon had half of the burnt and charred remnants of where it was cooked and was dripping in grease. One one occasion a basic americano coffee took 10 minutes and when it arrived you could see right through it, almost transparent. I ordered a double espresso and the very young bar server just plonked the tiny cup in the table in front of me, no saucer, sugar, spoon or usual complimentary biscuit, when this was pointed out, staff acted as though this was common practice. This is a real shame because we have habitually come here and are saddened at the lack of care that is taken here now. It’s as though they are just cashing in. Very disappointed.

Absolutely useless lack basic skills to get a cheese burger right minimum requirements is a burger Pattie cheese in a burger bun not the poor excuse they served burger was burnt and crunchy no meat left in there more charcoal if owt no cheese what so ever when asked about it they said they would remake it right but just took the old one put 2 slabs of cold cheese on top and set it back out food it’s not worth the price was way over cooked and burnt can get a better one at McDonald’s for a fraction of the price and McDonald’s ain’t great so that says something

The only issue with Owd Nell's is that it's too damned popular! being right on the Lancaster Canal it's a great spot to park up, take a walk and then grab and drink and eats when you get back. We went on Sunday lunchtime and it was busy but packed. I suspect by mid-afternoon it would be wall to wall people although that's no bad thing, just takes longer to get served. We ordered food and drinks and sat outside in the sunshine. The bar has a great stock of beers and wines, gins and the like so you won't have an issue finding something you like. Food ordered and we waited a reasonable time to get the food delivered to our table. Staff are always friendly. Being next to Guys Restaurant (Italian - which is lovely too) the pizzas are very good - not sure if they are cooked at Guy's or not. However, one of our party had a seafood pizza which was reportedly "delicious". Another of our party had the Cheese and Onion pie (see below) and I had the Ploughman's which was just right for a lunchtime. The Cheese and Onion pie used to be old favourite of ours. However, several years ago you use to get onion water with the pie, because as it comes now it is a VERY dry dish. The pie is gorgeous, but because of how it is made it needs something wet. It would be nice if they could bring this back. Our friend who had the pie said exactly this when he finished; that it was lovely but so dry. Anyway, if that's the only thing we can find wrong it's not bad at all! They also do nice ice cram from a kiosk round the back in the old street which is like a little themed street from older times. Kids can also feed the ducks on the canal too.

Stayed at Owd Nells several times over the years it's a great place to stay right next to the canal. We booked an open executive room for £75 for one night, On arrival we felt the room was tired and not for us so we contacted reception who sent a manager down with a key for an upgraded room (Executive plus) which we were happy to pay for. We were shown around the room which was perfect for us. Outside to the rear and side of the restaurant bar area has lots of tables to sit at, there used to be little shops which are now closed and the signage a little worse for wear and could do with a spruce up. The front area has been renovated with loads of protected seating areas should it be windy. We ate outside and the food was lovely and reasonably priced. Service at the bar was very slow as there were only two serving one taking food orders and the other doing drinks. It's a large complex so I understand everything costs money to upkeep especially after the pandemic years. All in all we would recommend a visit especially in the summer months when the sun's shining.

Came for lunch (which was fine), then came back for ice cream. After queueing at the parlour for 10 minutes without moving we decided we might as well go back into the pub and have drinks at the same time. After a very long wait...

This place hasn't had any money spent on it for decades. The blue badge parking area is like a lunar landscape, with no markings so my car was blocked in, Food was at best mediocre, had fish&chips, soggy batter and dry chips. We sat outside...

The system was OK, no queues but it was Tuesday lunchtime. I had mussel hotpot, hubby had fried chicken steak and we had their "famous" (or infamous) Tomato garlic bread. Chicken was not too bad but mussels not cleaned and v v gritty, sauce tasteless...

This was one of our first outings following COVID restrictions and receiving our two vaccinations. We decided to go out for lunch. Much of the original car park has been converted to an outside eating area, but signs clearly point you in the direction of...

A brief visit, just for coffee and a toasted tea cake. What struck me immediately was the most pleasant attitude of one of the staff - Helen. She just had this aura of helpfulness and friendliness about her and couldn't do enough for us, despite...

Sad to write this as it’s a fave of ours but it just wasn’t up to usual standards. It is very busy. Staff seemed lost. Food took for ever. Such a lovely place tho. I’m sure it’s just a blip but things need looking at

It's a great place to visit, as always the coffee is great. I am happy to see dogs are now allowed but object to them sitting on the chairs., dog trying to get to my breakfast - owner didn't care and neither did staff.

I love visiting Cleveleys for a stroll along the brilliant promenade and this pub is excellent for a stop off and a good pint!. Its great for those who want live sports, I love the Timothy Taylor Landlord pint but it has a very good selection of beers & lagers. I like the central bar and I'm sure it gets noisy and busy in the evenings and weekends. Don't listen to the miserable people moaning and giving poor reviews, this is a proper pub, serving good beers at brilliant prices, pint of Landlord and Stella for less than £7? please please please open in my village in Lymm Cheshire!!!!. I would be more than happy to watch footie there and enjoy a few pints, even my wife likes the place!!.

Good quality foods but very expensive. Shop in Aldi first for basics, then pop into booths for something special.
