Red Lion Beefeater in Blackpool

Food is really amazing in this place and the atmosphere really pleasent, was quite when we first got there, early tea time and then it soon got quite busy and they was a good buzz to it, the staff are very busy, but still very attentive. Prices are resonable and with the reward card you can get vouchers and bits off. I really enjoy it here and good to relax in the restaurant. There is a big bar area to with plenty of selection, this also has a good atmosphere for family seating and a pool table.

Busy place, food was lovely, i had the lamb roast and my friend had the half roast chicken. Desserts were good and not too badly price.

Amazing staff - really helpful and accommodating.

Came here for breakfast. Great food and excellent customer service!

The food is delicious and the staff are very helpful and welcoming. Excellent service.

Great staff, friendly efficient & genuinely kind. They go above & beyond. The venue is always clean, welcoming & the food is great for a good price.

Fantastic thank you will come again

Hard things this one. We had been once b4 about 10 months ago! And we are not far from here. Quick as I can now by my husband and myself. We entered. It was deadly quiet. Waiting for 7 mins? We both went to the loo. Then, I went back to the stand. Still nothing, so we went and got our own table. Then, I was told you to put your reg in? I mean, just like that??? By an older lady, we ordered and had to ask where our drinks were when the starters arrived. But no, drinks still Mmm, not going so far great. After working in custer service and running my own pubs.... but the food was totally amazing and mouthwatering. So hopefully this helps? We left a tip and I said this is for the chefs only. So ??? Urmmm.

Enjoyed the food the service was excellent

Food was really nice, haven't been here for a long time. Nice to see it has been done up, looks nice and fresh and the staff were all very friendly. Would definitely come again

We had a delicious dinner in the red lion beefeater. Absolutely spot on. Our waitress Sophie was an absolute delight. Very bubbly and smiley, made our experience go from A to A*** she came to check on us and greeted us and everyone else with a smile, everytime! and just the right amount of small talk. We would throughly recommend!!! The lady that seated us was also extremely delightful and full of smiles, I didn’t catch her name though. One last thing, I really recommend the cheese fries 👌🏻

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and really good food 👍

Great food and friendly service

Went with family. Had a lovely time. Food was excellent and the staff were very friendly. Will definitely be going back.

Great breakfast. If you're staying in the premier inn, the fried eggs were done to perfection. The yolk was exactly how a fried egg should be .

Was constantly harassed as we were eating to order our hot food. We turned the waitress away twice on both days we ate there. The food was overcooked eggs were dry and full of egg shell( scrambled). It's not a all you can eat neither. It's a pre order on all hot food. The evening meal was great the waitress didn't harass you at all you where left to eat at your own leisure.

Visit regularly food good value friendly bar staff but sometimes have to wait for service due to limited bar staff during the day.

Stayed at Premier inn next door ( room 17 )and had breakfast next morning. ( 16th sept 24 ) The young lady that served us with breakfast was fabulous, polite, pleassant, helpful and mannerdly. What more could you wish for. Thank you we will be back. xx

The best steaks you can get, ribeye very tasty with the char grill staff the best friendly happy to help great offers

Great food ,but rather expensive for what it is. Staff first class. Restaurant could do wit ha refurb.

Food is not bad, quite expensive for what you get, mix grill is £18.. small chicken and steak....£2 for a small peppercorn sauce is abit ridiculous but was nice. Guinness is very nice too. 3.5 out of 5.

Staff especially Sophie extremely friendly and helpful. Great place to eat and enjoy some time in. Highly rated.

Once again a lovely meal at the Red Lion. Come here monthly and always leave impressed. The steak was cooked to perfection and my husband enjoyed his burger. Prices and reasonable and the service is always brilliant. Thanks

This is my 2nd visit in the last 2 weeks. Perfect food Grate staff

FOOD WAS DISGUSTING AND COLD. SMALL PORTIONS. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Absolutely beautiful food cooked to perfection especially the steaks. My son ate the stacked burger every night he loved it and very filling. The staff are very friendly attentive nothing is too much trouble. We were served by numerous staff throughout our stay and all were fabulous especially Callum he made our son (who has disabilities) stay brilliant.

Staff friendly. Food was average. The building feels run down and dirty. Needs new carpets and walls need cleaning

Was very very busy, staff coped well. Food was brilliant I will visit again but not on a Sunday

The real steakhouse experience. Generous starters and puds. Great steaks! Well done 🤓

Quiet for 2.30pm on a thursday,dirty,smelled of damp so needs a refurb,food was ok expensive only went as i got a 40% discount voucher to use off food,will stick to the Plumtree in future

Lovely meal and pleasant service, had breakfast and evening meal and was not disappointed. Will definitely call again

Went with friends, nice and friendly, good food, no worries at all, will go again 🙂

Food was excellent and Sophie was amazing, looked after us so well

We are regular visitors and service is always good. Paul in particular goes out of his way to accommodate various needs within our group. This is greatly appreciated. We visited last night and the food was not to the normal high standard due to being very busy. We mentioned it and were offered fresh meals, when this was politely declined replacement chicken and chips, which were not very hot on the original plates, were brought to the table.

Excellent food and great service all round 🙂

10/10 for everything, ava & gemma were brill and joe in the kitchen always does an amazing job xoxo

Food was atrocious, service was ok.

Caz who served us was an absolute star the food was outstanding. A top place from me 👍

Steph was very helpful and offered a braille menu not many places have offered this service.

Can’t even speak to a human being when you call. It’s an automated line, not great when you are trying to arrange something for someone who is already there. When you finally get it to put you through to a member of staff, they just don’t answer.

We visited on a Saturday evening when staying in Blackpool. It’s a very grand building which is lovely and clean. The staff are all amazing. All had smiles and were very attentive without being intrusive. Food was good, would have been expensive without using a voucher code I’d been sent and it didn’t look much on the plate but we were both too full for dessert after. Will definitely return if in the area.

Food was OK but that's all, steak was a poor cut 😞 didn't expect amazing for a chain with thier pricing but have been to other beefeaters and was much nicer. £3.50 for a side of chips and I got about 3 actual chips and a small amount of scrag end chips.. staff were nice enough but not very knowledgeable about what was actually in the food. Atmosphere is probably better at busy times but we went late so was very quiet. Could be a little cleaner.

Very reasonable breakfast buffet with kids eating free.

I love this place. Is relatively quiet, I have a tone of dietary restrictions and they offer a GF menu that has several options I was able to have!! Only restaurant in town that offers good food, good price… AND OPTIONS I CAN HAVE WITHOUT WORRYING FOR CROSS CONTAMINATION!! The service is excellent, will definitely keep on visiting ☺️👌🏻

Only a Father's Day menu. Not a lot of choice. So I had Lamb. Would have liked a Salad....sorry not on the menu! So, Lamb it was.(Never had tough Lamb before). The veg that came with it was rubbish,(frozen junk warmed up), informed the waitress, she replaced it with exactly the same rubbish. Not only I had the Lamb my daughter had the same and just left hers! I only can say The Red Lion is certainly not as good as it used to be.Not recommend.

Booked in for a breakfast I am Gluten free had separate menu and discussed my options with lovely member of staff. My food was cooked separately and served to me. Other members of my group had chance to go and pick there own. Plenty of options as with the traditional breakfast you also have access to the continental breakfast which includes yoghurt, fresh fruit salad, fruit juices and coffee/tea which I took advantage of. I couldn’t sample the pancakes, croissants etc but there was gluten free toast available with my cooked breakfast. Bonus kids eat free. Was very impressed with choices on offer and the friendly service from the staff

Decent choice of vegetarian options, despite its name! Lovely staff, really helpful and friendly, especially our waitress, Scarlett.

Was OK but would not rush back no atmosphere here at all

Our server Sophie was very friendly and need more people like her! definitely come back after the experience.

Totally ruined what could have been a lovely lunch out with my ex work colleagues. My meal was just awful . Yhe salmon was just too dry, as though it had been cooked earlier in the day and had been kept warm until needed, which is fairly hard to believe as we were sat down near to 12 noon and the place had only just opened up for the day. I'm 'sorry BUT I won't be returning any time in the near future AND I certainly WON'T be recommending it to my friends and family On a brighter note th e waitress who served us was VERY VERY pleasant and kind to us ALL, she was clean & tidy Up AND I HAVE NO complaints about her in the slightest. IN FACT SHE IS AN ACCET TO THE RED LION

First you must put in your car registration number at reception you are then taken to a table someone will come and take your order 10 minutes later your meals all come good portions nice and hot. And tasty staff very nice

Food today was shocking. First time eating here and will be the last. I no now why it was so quiet.

No Longer a pub there is never anyone behind the bar when u walk in always have to stand there on the strength some might appear our see u and the prices they charge the bar should always be attended nothing worse after a hard day's work as a trades man stood around waiting my pet hate. Always happens as well.

A good venue for families. No longer a pub in the traditional sense (hence the lower mark for atmosphere), but the food is good. We booked a specific table, however we were told it wasn't available when we arrived. On a positive note they did a free round of drinks for us. Sadly the buffet breakfast isn't available on a Saturday or a Sunday.

Had a family meal at the red lion, we have been here a few times before, the food is good quality however there is always a long wait (no matter how many people attend) no food had to be sent back and everyone was full and satisfied. waitress Steph looked after us and ensured everyone was happy and there were no problems. Would definitely recommend for birthday meals, or if your looking for a nice meal

Destiny was amazing and very attentive

Enjoyed Gammon, egg, pineapple, chips and peas followed by icecream

We had a lovely meal, waitress was very helpful. The food was lovely, place had good atmosphere

Great service from ava and Gemma, food was amazing as always

All hot breakfast was stone cold and 9.30am. when asked for a refund was met with I presume the bar manager/manage blonde hair who had attitude and was very snotty and didn't want to hear the rest of our complaint and tried walking off going right bye . Would never return here again and I don't recommend at all to anyone else. Ohh I may add this was our first time at this place as well. Shocking

Music too loud, felt like a school canteen. Food and service great

Good food and excellent service 👌

Went for breakfast. Excellent value for money. Good choice of hot food. Staff, car, molly and chantell could do enough for us. Would definitely recommend 👌

We celebrated my husband's 70th birthday on 20/04/24. There were 10 of us, and I have to say that, (apart from the disappointment that the table we had specifically booked was already occupied), the staff were amazing, the food was wonderful and everyone had a great time. Thank you, again to all who made our night so special.

Me and hubbie took his mum for a Sunday roast , it was lovely really enjoyed it, definitely go again

Had an evening meal here, staff were friendly and service quick. Starters and desserts very nice but mains were poor quality for the price. I had a double burger which were very dry my partner’s chicken and ribs were also dry. Corn on the cob was cold and coleslaw was very vinegary. The buffet breakfast the first morning was lovely but the second morning was a different story a horror story to be exact. We arrived a little earlier as we needed to start our journey back. We were told there was no buffet due to the time and minimal customers. Our order was taken at the table. But unlike a buffet you cannot pick the pieces of food you like the look of. We both ordered two fried eggs one for each was over cooked, no yolks. The mushrooms and beans were cold. Hash browns burnt and the bacon over cooked (not in the crispy sense). There were no teapots available like the day before so couldn’t have a pot of tea. I asked for another egg but gave up trying to eat the breakfast as it was so unpleasant. Ended up with toast and after I ate that still no egg. To rub salt in the wounds as we were leaving they opened up the buffet breakfast. Again poor quality for the price and we felt the staff that morning really didn’t care. We won’t be using a beefeater again any time soon.

Usual good food standards for a Beefeater

Fantastic service.from Sophie who was so helpful, bubbley & cheerful. Lovely atmosphere & truly scrumptious food. 10/10. Will definitely be coming back again. Thanks

atomsphere good although quite loved spending time with our friends

Lovely staff☺️, excellent service, we all enjoyed our meal.

Very good experience for me and my family the food was lovely and the staff was amazing. Out waiter Sophie did an incredible job aswell as Lucy. Would definitely come back again.

Nice meal, reasonably priced, great service from Sophie, would go again.

Lovely place and good for all event, Steph always serves as with nice food and smile 😊

We came in for a lovely afternoon. Scarlett was the girl who looked after us what a lovely sweet, polite and friendly girl. My husband was struggling with the menu as had forgotten his glasses she went out the way to help him pick his food! Nice to see young polite happy girls helping! Thanks again The Red Lion

We came to the restaurant to celebrate my husband’s birthday and it coincided with Bank Holiday weekend. It was super busy but the meal and service was excellent and we didn’t have to wait too long. We will be back soon. Special thanks to our lovely waitress Scarlett. 5 star service 🌟

Deliciously fresh cobb salad with grilled chicken. It was lovely and Steph was great at looking after me. So warm and friendly and super efficient as well.

Food decent. Service fantastic. All 3 staff couldn't do enough. Will definitely return.

Food was great, my steak was cooked perfectly. Staff were welcoming and very helpful. They were attentive . Car park was good

Came in for dinner the other night and food and service was brilliant. Scarlett was very helpful and friendly and made the evening really enjoyable for my family and I.

Food quality and amount was not as it used to be. Triple cooked chips were definatley not. Prices are high for the quality so won't be going again. On a brighter note Staff were helpful and friendly. Shame about the food.

Plenty of space to park food was realy nice good quick service would definitely recommend

We went on Tuesday night we was service by Gemma R food was excellent thanks

The steak is so dry. Horrible greasy onion rings.

Food took far too long to arrive and when it did the steak was overcooked. Not worth the price at all.

Absolutely brilliant very good service Thanks.

Staff was friendly. When I booked this breakfast, I had high hopes. It seemed different than other Premier Inn breakfast spots. Little did I know it was almost just as bad. Very limited food options. I apparently still can't agree with British breakfast options in general, but ugh. Not even a slice of cheese for a toast? I paid 10.99 for unlimited whatever breakfast and the egg dishes served seemed made out of powder. Let's not even discuss vegetarian options. On the menu it had a variety but once I got there, I was only offered vegetarian sausages.

Good for large family get together. We were recently in the Restaurant to the north side of the building. A year ago we were around the south side. I preferred it there because we seemed to have a lot more space. Food is average, Sunday roast seems to be the speciality. They serve other dishes but much in the vein of a chain. On the Plus side there are a wide range of options including steak of course, hence, good for family gatherings. Service was good but they need more staff. We'll done to the staff that were there. Atmosphere = typical chain/pub restaurant. Variety of drinks but the beer wasn't great this time around.

I'm giving this review based on breakfast. The food was good, the staff were lovely and the AI booking system even understood our request to sit at a window! It's brilliant value for money as children are free and the coffee from the coffee machine is pretty good. Can't fault it for the price.

Lovely place to dine. Wonderful food and friendly hospitality.

Just popped in for a drink before going out. Also had a very nice breakfast.

Cant fault the food it was lovely however there was a long wait for our food from ordering to then be told half way through the evening one of our sweet options was not available. The waitress presented as quite rude and unprepared to attempt to compromise she had quite a poor attitude which then gave a negative feeling to the atmosphere of the evening.

Really good food and great staff.

Lovely steak and chips Great service from all staff

Went for breakfast, was very clean amd staff were lovely, accomadated to our table needs, food was re stocked as soon as it was running low and not run out which is fantastic, dirty plates were Moved rapidly so there was no build up on tables. Overall probably one of the best beefeaters we've been too for breakfast

Food OK, staff were lovely. Worth a visit

Breakfast was brilliant. Very good choice , something for everyone. Will definitely be back. Very friendly and helpful staff.

No surprises, the food is fine, decent beer, the kids can play and we had a game of pool as they take contactless at the table, which was good.

Food average, service fantastic, prices of drinks RIDICULOUS !! 4.95 for a pint of cider ?? I wont be back.

Absolutely brilliant service, thank you for making our stay extra enjoyable. The lady who served us last night was brilliant; she was so polite and helpful and even gifted my little one an early birthday present 🎁 Thank you! So kind and thoughtful

Thank you to the brilliant service , so patient and helpful, made all the difference to our experience thank you Cazzzz who served us, the food portions were very good
