The Saddle has been my local for over 14 years. The staff have always been friendly,helpful and professional. Today a situation occurred with myself and another customer who was very drunk. John( manager) stepped in and resolved the situation quickly, professionally and with no fuss. Top class manager. Thanks John. Brian

If your a family with kids avoid this place I took my Mrs and 2 young kids based on trip advisor reviews it was uk football Cup final day (fa cup+scottish) but this was on another level I went the toilet twice and both times I had to clean blood and urine from all over the place due to people using the cubicles for everything but using the toilet when I booked I specified we have a 1yr7 month old and will need a highchair got there asked for 1 they said there's only 1 so if you can't find it your out of look I spent 10 minutes on an easter egg hunt for a chair the locals are rude and have no meaning of you was there first when it comes to being stud at the bar. Avoid. Typical blackpool pub we assumed it's out the way from the riff raff it may be nice. It's not

Visited The Saddle Inn twice now. I returned for a 2nd visit on the strength of the 1st visit with my wife & son in April 2022. The pub is ideally situated for visits to Blackpool FC - only 15 mins walk. Although obviously a locals pub, the welcome was warm. A good selection of hand pulled real ale with a friendly service. Pub classic menu - went for the beef in ale pie and chips which were hot & tasty as was the seasonal veg & gravy. For sure, I’ll be coming back when I next make a trip to the footie

Was a busy day but the food was disgusting . This is a drinkers pub not a food pub . Cod and chips and garden peas . The peas were watery on plate and stone cold the fish looked like it was cooked in filthy oil . But also the chef uses his hands to touch cooked chicken and plate up then handles all the other food no washing of hands or sanitiser no just use the apron . So would not rate this place as a good eating experience good is vile

What a load of Ars.....564 at the Saddle Blackpool. Accused my dog of peeing and there was no evidence of it or the cleaning product they are meant to have used to clean it. Waited till I went to the toilet to say this.😡 The dog peed outside three times after this complaint. Some of your staff need changing for people who don't talk rubbish and alienate people. Forty quid was spent on this particular day.

Moved into the area 23 years ago, with The Saddle Inn being one of the reasons for doing so. This little pub is still a great reason for living in the area. Knowledgeable about the pub's cask ales, always a source of help to anyone in need of it, Lou provides a happy smile and a warm welcome to all that walk through the doors of this friendly, popular pub. On a bus route in and out of Blackpool, this lovely boozer is available for all to try. Don't miss visiting the oldest pub in Blackpool

We visited here on bank holiday Monday. It was really hot and therefore everyone was out in their beer garden. The bar is small and it took a long time to get served. A group of us were all ordering food and the woman serving responded as though she was annoyed we were there. The food took a long time to arrive and when it did it wasn’t cooked properly. I imagine this is a good pub when there are less people there, but I wouldn’t go back if it was busy.

Myself and my hubby have just been to the Saddle pub Blackpool. Tonight we popped in for some tea. My hubby ordered a burger and asked for it to go large ( extra burger and onion rings) . I ordered the classic regular burger. When it was brought to the table my husband asked where his onion rings were, the bar man went and got the receipt and said sorry they’ve not been added to your order but you haven’t been charged . My hubby said well can you get them for me ( as he should have had them as he had paid for them as he had paid the extra to go large) the barman’s response was No! And off he walked . We both sat there gob smacked that some one could be so rude!! My husband started eating his burger ( without onion rings) but then went up to the bar to speak to said bar man and find out where his onion rings where ,that he had paid for. The bar man then advised that he had checked the specifications and he was entitled to the onion rings ( which we had paid for and we knew he was entitled to them ) and he had told the chef to cook them for him. The onion rings came just prior to hubby finishing his burger. The bar man advised hubby that he was new. New or not , everybody knows about good customer service. You should treat people as you would wish to be treated . If you have paid for something you expect it to be delivered and when you question this you do not expect to be told NO! The food was lovely and good quality and reasonably priced ( when we received what we had paid for) the service on the other hand leaves a lot to be desired . ( This was not a youngster by the way) Hopefully going forward he will be up skilled in customer service. I would have given 5 stars had it not been for the customer service !

Called in for a drink with my family and brother/sister in law from Canada. After deciding on drinks my son and brother had cask ale. Both weren’t too good and my son left over half his pint. I took it back to the bar to be told ‘there’s nothing wrong with my beer darling ‘! I didn’t point out that I’ve been in the trade for 35 years and work for the quality team of the largest alcohol company in the WORLD. I do know a poor drink when served even if I may just be a DARLING !

Called in at the saddle for a spot of lunch mid week, not been here for a while, have tried to call before, but it is only a small place, so very busy at weekends. My partner had the Wednesday special, pie and a pint for £5 99, he had the Cornish pastie, which he said was very nice, I had the chicken club sandwich which came with chips ( and plenty of them ), the toasted sandwich was very nice, ozzing with mayo, bacon, chicken and lettuce, very filling. A delicious meal, will definitely be going back again mid week.

I have dined in The Saddle many times and have always found it to have reasonably priced food and a good selection of real ales. Two weeks ago, on a Saturday afternoon, I tried the item on the menu called, "The Plank", for which you can choose up to five different food dishes, which are served at the table on a long plank. I had chicken goujons, meat balls in sauce, stuffed tacos with spicy mince beef, chips topped with cheese and pulled pork, salad, This was good value at around £10, and I was just about able to eat the lot, with assistance from my wife who had elected to go for a lighter meal.

As I live just down the road from the saddle and the boars, thought we would try boars but it was closed for food so tried saddle on the off chance they served food , as wasn't sure. Got inside it's quite small and locals atmosphere inside. Asked at the bar if they were serving food to which the barmaid said 'yes thanks' anyway found a table, ordered food. Arrived within half an hour. I had lasagne. It was really nice. And the salad and garnish and chips were cooked well. Other half had steak again really nice and little one had chips and cheesy garlic bread. Don't think there was a kids menu. Food good though and on whit gate drive with parking and a beer garden. Again wish one of these pubs had kids play area or outdoor facilities.

Not the best meal we have had here. Booked in for Mother's Day told we were having one long table at the end of the room when we booked weeks ago. Only to have another table then got told we had 15minutes to leave the table for the next booking. If desserts had arrived quicker we would have left earlier!!! Not well organised. Very disappointed wish we would have booked elsewhere!!!

I work in a care home just down the road and one of our residents comes here very regularly. The staff are all so kind and caring, they're accommodating to his needs and keep a mobility trolley for his use when he's there.

Visited after a heavy night drinking service was slow and confused ordered milky coffees which turned out to be just coffee with a splash of milk which didn't arrive until part way through the breakfast after asking for them again, both breakfasts were served on baking trays which was not the worst thing in the world but slightly unusual, 2 of the 3 staff seemed lovely and the food was slow to arrive but was piping hot apart from the toast I think that had been cooked on the radiator. All in all not the best we've had in Blackpool but certainly not the worst.

We took our 10 year old grandson to Blackpool for the day. The weather was decent and early evening we were sitting outside a bar near North Pier when it suddenly started raining heavily. (It came as a surprise). We needed to eat so went in the Dusk Bar as it was very close by. It had a disco, but being early evening there were few customers, when we arrived. We had Tapas dishes and a pizza. The atmosphere was good, the food really tasty and quite reasonably priced. The staff looked after us really well.
