Pendle Witch Pub in Lancaster

We waited over two hours for a bowl of chips and chicken goujons. After an hour were told it would be 15 minutes! Only offered one free soft drink as an apology

Good food, nice atmosphere. Donatas's customer service is also second to none. Going to definitely come back because of him.

Hay una joya de un pub en Lancaster y se llama la Bruja de la Pendiente. El personal es muy atento, gran elección de bebidas y el menú tiene una gran variedad de comida de pub! A mi perrito le gusta ir por su tazón de agua. Prueba los filetes. ¡Tienen muy buena relación calidad-precio y son muy sabrosos! También hay un gran ambiente si hay un partido en la televisión. Pero reserve una mesa temprano, ya que se llena rápidamente. Hay un montón de cómodos asientos al aire libre fuera de la parte trasera.

Encontré a Pendle Witch como un bar amigable con una buena selección de cervezas. El personal del bar era amable y conocedor de la selección de ales. Particularmente un miembro del bar llamado Trinity , ella fue muy servicial y llevó mis bebidas a mi mesa , que fue muy apreciado ya que tengo discapacidades.

Nice dog friendly pub. Decent pint of Wainwright, friendly staff

Great spot for drinks at not ridiculous prices... although it is very busy with other students so I would recommend if your after a quieter spot look elsewhere.... you do have to wait a while for drinks but its expected.. and staff are great.

Great atmosphere, staff are very friendly - would definitely recommend if you want good food and deals with a great beer garden!

Best pub in Lancaster, Gemma’s the best bartender

They have passion fruit sours!!!

Great local pub, frequent visitors and absolutely love a Pwitch trip. Special shoutout to my favourite bartender George so is fab !!!

Gemma hace un gran servicio y es increíble y toda la bruja Pendel es genial. Estaba aquí para una fiesta de amigos y fue increíble

Gemma nos atendió, lugar fantástico, fenomenal, impecable, soberbio, fantástico. Ven aquí definitivamente, ya que es un gran lugar para una bebida, el lugar al aire libre es genial también!

¡Tienen maracuyá! Y me encanta la fruta de la pasión. Gran servicio y un ambiente encantador con grandes bebidas.

Banging drinks I had a great time with my friends and jenna the server was great. Will definitely be back for more drinks with my friends

Fantastic service, best place in lancaster

Came for the pub quiz and wasn’t disappointed!!

Had hoped to visit Whaletail cafe but it was closed for renovations. With parking time running short we ate here. Not a pleasant experience. Like a downmarket Wetherspoons with noisy kids and zero atmosphere. Quite cheap but not enjoyable.

Food over priced barstaff took 3 pound as a tip without asking barstaff rude kids meal 4 nuggets 10 chips and beans smallest kids meal ever

21/09/24: small selection of craft beer for this football pub. Only spotted the huge array of Lilley's code in the fridge after I'd ordered a couple of beers. Wow. What a selection of cider! Toilets however are disgusting! Literally walking through sewage! At least an inch deep in dirty water, which is a shame as this pub could be great. Pool table broken too. Dog friendly though.

Great place to sit with a beer on a sunny day.

Great Name, Nice enough pub, roomy, fairly quiet (on a Saturday) nice vibe, real ale was sparse with only one on out of 3 & that was on the turn. Wide enough selection of other beers & lagers.

I was Disappointed with the even bigger breakfast. It was dry dint get mushrooms and took 50 minutes to arrive ☹️

Great place, staff great and food spot on. Nice atmosphere and a really nice place to have a meal and drink.

Very friendly and helpful staff

Nicest meal I've had in a long while. (Mix Grill) Steak was cooked to perfection, chicken was juicy. Chefs kiss

Plenty of staff. Not everything left on menu. Got dessert order wrong. Standard pub food. Very busy outside on a hot day.

The Pendle Witch hiding behind the 'Burrito Bandits' on Deliveroo. The burritos might as well have been vegetarian almost no meat at all, such a waste of money. How you can masquerade under this brand name supplying diabolical food and not face the consequences is atrocious, misleading the people of Lancaster! The reviews are all the same on the deliveroo app. Avoid these con artists at all costs!!! Deliveroo were useless in trying to resolve aswell.

Went on sunday night. Fair priced food and drink. Nice atmosphere. Had just felt little while on the food but. Couldn't doubt the overall experience.

Excellent food, authentic real ale and great atmosphere in the heart of my favourite historic city ❤️

Used to be a decent pub. Staff are so rude and shunt you off before 12, keep nagging at you to finish your drinks in a very rude manner. Do better pendle.

The pub has had different names over the years but it's never lost its charm, the staff are always friendly and helpful it now offers the best beer garden in Lancaster all that with competitive prices on food and drink

Friendly staff. Good choice of food and beers

Great pub in the town of Lancaster. I was recently visiting the castle and my friend and I wanted somewhere to grab a bite to eat after our visit. The food and drinks were great and affordable. The pub felt welcoming yet busy with a buzz of atmosphere from the local students out for the evening which was nice. Also felt like a great place to meet for dinner with a friend but equally a great place to go for a drink. There was also a very large outdoor seating area which looked very nice and perfect for the summer!

Played pub quiz with some friends and won 2nd place. Life is good👌🏼👌🏼

Great service. Good atmosphere. Reasonably priced drinks. Good student discounts on offer. Dog friendly, large sun terrace.

Staff are very rude - only good thing is that drinks are cheap if you are a student. Also good luck getting a table

Meal was great and the staff excellent

Great food and drink selections, staff were friendly and helpful. Atmosphere for the England Game was great. Will be back!

Had Cumberland sausages, mash and peas. I should have taken it back. They were not Cumberland and they were tough. The peas were not cooked properly and the mash was stodgy. Nice outside terrace and reasonable prices. The wait at the bar was too long, not enough staff. There were 6 of us. Everyone else were happy. Will go again but not for the sausages.

Very busy bar but food is OK not great but good all the same

Clearly no vaping ban. A thick pall of vape smog and people openly vaping in front of staff. Avoid.

It's a nice pub, but the 6 ghost kitchens they run selling the exact same stuff appearing on Just Eat are very annoying and misleading

Absolutely love this place, especially on a quiz night. The food is great, the atmosphere is brilliant. We are regulars and recommend it to anyone.

Went in to have food , 5 of us , we was at the bar trying to order food ,music was way too loud ,the bar staff couldn't hear us , got the food ordered 4 x mixed grill , asked for well done steak , the steak was cremated, couldn't cut it , not just my plate 4 of us has the same the chicken was dry very small portion of food for the price too ,gave mine to a dog , even he struggled to chew it , brought it to attention to the bar staff, and she gave us £25 back, cause she said we ate most of it , the dog did tbh . I recommend new chef , turn the music down so people can order. Even the lady who owned the dog couldn't believe the state of the food , I actually don't complain normally about food ,but the chef got 4 plates so bad .

My sister and I were trying to visit all the haunted pubs, so this was a must to visit. We visited for a drink and to see the artwork on the walls

The food here is absolutely beautiful highly recomvend the mac and cheese or the hunters loded chips all the staff are friendly and food is fairly cheep

That bar is pretty loud with a lot of students, the food was pretty quick and all good but it wasn't really an enjoyable atmosphere to hang out in.

A nice pub. Staff were lovely. Very reasonable prices too

I was part of a group of 20 plus people who met up for a celebration at 2 pm Good Friday. Most were only drinking, but one or two were hungry and ordered food. The food arrived in a timely manner and was well received. The pub was lively with a good atmosphere, and getting served was pretty quick. Prices are on the low side compared to much of Lancaster, and you can order from the table with an app. On the whole, it was a good experience

Abby Paul and Nathan were fantastic, friendly lovely staff and a brilliant quiz night 100% recommend

Very welcoming staff with friendly atmosphere - good pub food

Came in today to treat my mum to mothers day lunch. Warm welcome and unreal food. Thanks pendle staff

Amazing steak, absolutely delicious. Quiz night is affordable and a blast with mates.

Absolutely impeccable service as always

I love Alex and Millie, they always go out of their way to make my experience here! So amazing.

Great pub, friendly staff. Love the quiz 🤓

Excellent food & excellent service from Millie. The Pub quiz is the best in Lancaster!

Nice enough. Would like it more if there was more comfy seating ln dining area and longing areas.

Great little pub, friendly staff and great atmosphere!

Great atmosphere, great food all the staff are lovely

Brilliant food, service and great staff.

If you want a relaxing meal this place in not for you. Very noisy and busy. About 7 TV screen blasting out. Obviously fine if that is what you want. Staff were polite and ok but out of 9 meals that we ordered 5 were not up to standard .

Amazing place, friendly staff and buzzing atmosphere

Have just left the Pendle Witch and really disappointed. The majority of food was bad. Fatty steak and another steak barely cooked. Chips had a hair in, asked for fresh bowl and never arrived. Never got asked how the food was or checked on. Whilst I understand it was a busy Saturday night this wasn’t acceptable service or food. Wouldn’t recommend!

Absolutely amazing staff very welcoming. Food and atmosphere fantastic always made to feel welcome every time we come here by far the best pub in Lancaster

Food was great but the music and atmosphere was very loud and I'm autistic and even my noise cancelling headphones weren't enough for this.

Popped in whilst having a whistle stop trip to visit Mum in hospital. Staff were really friendly and helpful especially Abbie 🙂 Lovely place.

Lovely traditional pub. Great choice of bar meals. Nice attentive staff. Pet friendly.

Best place in Lancaster to watch the footie

Came here with my family whilst on holiday, absolutely great prices for food and drinks, brilliant atmosphere as well as very friendly and helpful bar staff. Will come again if in the area , would definitely recommend

Good service by friendly bartenders. We love the quiz, quiz master is a right laugh. Cheap nice drinks in a nice atmosphere, that's what you want in a pub. Recommend

Modern pub, Doom Bar at £3.15…can't really argue. Lots of screens for sport. Kitchen looked busy. Pool table, free on Thursday I believe. Dog friendly.

Lovely beer garden, friendly staff. Didn't have any food but what other people had on their plates looked good.

Went for the opener of the rugby World Cup. Decent prices, service can be better.

The steak was very good. The bar staff friendly and professional. I was only visiting on a day out back to my student days of ‘75 so only ate. There were people who seemed to ‘regulars at their local’ and that made the atmosphere less sterile for an early evening midweek visit in what otherwise would have been an empty pub.

Only had a coke but was nice service and nice atmosphere

Have never been in before but it was a Monday afternoon and pouring with rain so the beer garden wasn't an option. My friend went to the bar and I went to find a table which needed a really good clean. I found another table which was ok but there were crisps all over the floor and the table next to us was not clean either. We only had a drink so can't comment on the food. The staff were pleasant and friendly. Just felt the whole place could do with a good clean. Maybe short of staff?

Great quiz night held every Thursday. No need to book a table, just show up. Fabulous quiz master Paul! Great vibe & fab staff. Will definitely be back back soon!

Corking. Very drunk & not had to take out a second mortgage 👍 Great beer garden, love the booths. Very drunk 👍👍👍 Corking weekend.

Cheap and cheerful, outside seating gets plenty of sun from lunchtime onwards.

Booked a table for 5 to celebrate my birthday with my son who lives locally and was pleasantly surprised. The food was very good, the service was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. I will certainly consider going back next time we're in town. We didn't have desert because the choice was limited but then again, the main course was very filling.

Brilliant welcome for us and the dog.not only by the staff but by the locals, he was greeted like a member of take that had just walked in.

Only stopped for a drink,,great beer garden,good service

Lovely food great setting would have stayed longer but seating area outside was uncomfortable

Has a good beer garden, drinks average price for lancaster. Has sports TV. Food looks ok

Basically same price as spoons but better atmosphere. Cool pub

Nice beer garden, given where it's located.

loved it here such lovely staff and polite and always got a smile on their face and lovely food itbwas to die for

Decent pub, dog friendly with a beer garden

Decent pub, food was okay, beer well kept, though because the football was on it was a little noisy but not rowdy.

Based on very old memories, my return visit was disappointing - I was there on a quiz night and televisions had football on. Okay if that's your thing - I like football but hate pub quizzes - but the noise chased me out,, which is a shame because they served a nice pint of beer.

Great service from Emma and paul.. best pub in Lancaster.

Had mix grill enjoyed it and good price will go again

Had a lovely meal here while staying in Lancaster to celebrate my dads 80th. Food was good and to top it off the staff put a candle in the cake I ordered for my dad and sang happy birthday, very nice touch . Staff were great, very friendly . Will be back

I love the quiz more than my 2nd son, liana is my favorite liana what I know, unfortunately looks like a scene of repair shop ((pre repair)the pub not liana) need some better chairs

Wonderful service from Mathew and Liana at tonight at the Pendle Witch, thank you! Despite being incredibly busy with the big match on and not having been notified by head office that we had reserved a table for dinner, Mathew moved the pool table and added more tables in order to accommodate us temporarily until there was another table available. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a good experience and that our dog was settled so we could relax, which was really important to us so we could spend some quality time with our son who is at Uni at Lancaster. Oh and the food wasn't bad either! Thank you, we will definitely be back!

Lovely pub and friendly staff, great service 🙂 visited on Sunday night for a few drinks, nice and busy with a great atmosphere
