Me and my wife have been to Morecamb for the past 3 years for a long weekend, and never miss the smugglers den, I think it is mainly a locals pub but you always feel welcome, proper old fashioned pub ( that's a complement) staff really good ,beer really good especially the stout not just a lager pub which you seem to be getting more of .so when you go to Morecamb deffo give it a try 👍👍

Fabulous! Gem of a pub. Lovely ales at good prices. We were there on a Sunday dinner time. Empty , so able to explore all areas and chat to the lady behind the bar. Will definately go back next time we visit Morecambe. Its hidden away but well worth seeking out. Keep up the good work , its a fabulous real ale pub that seems to cater for everyone.

It depends how you like your pubs, brother in law and me loved its olde worlde charm and the dated music was right up our street. Reputedly the oldest pub in Morecambe, but as some of the very many pubs there are definitely for locals only, this one is worth seeking out.

Might not be everyone's cup of tea but it's not trying to be, some pubs have modernized and then tacked on a fake history, this place avoided all that so what you get is a real honest local pub that has been serving the community since people started living here. Friendly with no nonsense. The night we were there was live music, folksy and down to earth music where the band felt like part of the crowd not on pedestals, something of a rare experience in the UK these days.

Phrases like "Best pub in Morecambe" and "Hidden gem" are spot-on! This is a treasure of a traditional pub, complete with quirky furniture and wonderful stained glass windows. The staff and regulars give you a warm welcome, the ale is good, and as for the prices - how on God's good Earth do they do it for the money? This bar is so good that I'd rather keep it a secret - but the owners deserve every compliment they get. Highly recommended!

Short Story: We went to Koko Bento in Lancaster for the first time today and had a really awful experience. Everything was normal, the service was nice and the restaurant was pretty quiet (went at 17.30pm ish). We were shown to our table by waitress no.2 and left to pick our food. When looking at the menu, we noticed that it specified if the chicken dishes had thigh meat. So my husband chose the "Mochiko Chicken Curry" because he really doesn't like thigh meat (makes him feel sick). When the mains arrived, he took a bite and said that it was definitely thigh meat and that he couldn't eat it. He flagged waitress no.1 and said to her that he was really sorry, but the main was chicken thigh meat and that he couldn't eat it, so please could he send it back and get another main. Waitress no.1 said that because he had ordered it and didn't ask about the meat, that it was his fault. My husband repeated again he was sorry, but he couldn't eat the food so could he change meal. Then waitress no.1 went and asked waitress no.2 (who was downstairs) who said it was our fault and that the ingredients were already used so he had to pay for the food he couldn't eat plus a new main. We said politely that this wasn't right and that we wouldn't pay for the main that my husband didn't eat. The other waiter then brang my main (which was good and I thanked him) and saw that it was getting a bit heated and he tried descalate the situation which we thanked him for. Waitress no.1 then rang the manager who wasn't in and tried to make us speak to this manager over the phone (while I was eating my main), which was pretty rude and inappropriate. After my husband said he didn't want to talk to a manager over the phone and that again he wouldn’t be paying for food he didn't eat - we were left alone by the waitresses. When I finished my main, we went downstairs to pay the bill.  Waitress no.2  was at the till and asked if we were going to pay for "everything" in an annoyed tone. And we calmly said we wanted to pay but wouldn't pay for the mochiko chicken curry that wasn't eaten. She then began to argue at us that it was our fault, didn't we know this was a business, we should pay because they had wasted ingredients, etc, in a raised voice, which was very unprofessional. We again said that yes, we could have double-checked about the chicken in the dish, but as it wasn't eaten that we categorically weren't paying for it but were happy to pay for everything else. She then told us to take a seat because she was ringing the police. We said that was fine and sat down at the counter and waited. The call went on for a few minutes before she ended it and walked back to the till and said we could pay now. The till has a screen where you can see the order items and the total bill. We could see she had taken off the mochiko chicken curry, and we paid the bill. My husband asked. "So the police said that you couldn't force us to pay then?". Waitress no. 2 then began to raise her voice at us, saying the same spiel that she had said before she rang the police. My husband said let's just leave it and go and told her she was being really unprofessional and that it was wild that she had tried to get us arrested over a dish we didn't eat. As we left the restaurant, she shouted that we were pathetic and told us don't come back. I said, "Don't worry, we won't ever come back" (sort of laughing because I was so taken aback and shocked by her behaviour to customers). She then tried to mock me as we walked out of the restaurant. I'm posting this to let other people know that this could happen to them if they don't like a dish they've ordered at Koko. We obviously won't be coming back, and it's a real shame that this was how the restaurant handled this as it was our first time eating there. It could have been sorted really easily, but that's not how it played out, unfortunately, and we ended up having a horrible time when we wanted to go for a nice meal together. I've attached a picture of the end of our meal, showing that my husband didn't touch his food. Thanks

Really lovely little spot, lovely waitress. Jacket potato was a little underdone/perhaps microwaved. That’s probably my fault for ordering a spud at 10:15. Chilli was delicious and clearly homemade. My wife had a brie ciabatta and she absolutely loved it. Drinks wise we had cappuccino and orange juice. Cappuccino was too very good. Definitely would come back.
