The Clifton Arms in Fylde

Popped in for a girly catch-up at lunchtime. We all ordered from the light bite menu and were pleasantly surprised at the great value and quality of the food. It was Excellent! The staff were very attentive and we didn’t have to wait long at all for our food. What an absolute diamond place in the village ❤️

I have been a couple of times now to the clifton arms at warton and have to say you won’t find much better anywhere else! Tony and Zoe do a fantastic job of running the place and I can’t recommend their hospitality enough, will definitely be visiting again

After I suddenly lost my partner, soulmate and love of my life on the 4th September 2024 we called a family for Sunday lunch as a family as there was no way I could cook a meal. What a gem of a pub, Steven and I jad eaten here when we moved to Warton and had always enjoyed the food, but, that wet Sunday in September proved how much this establishment is part of the community, the Sunday lunch was superb, the grandsons were treated like 2 little princes' and I was made to feel so welcome by Zoe who shared my grief with me making me feel like I was family. The food was fantastic, the wine beautiful and the staff absolutely fantastic. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making us so welcome, your kindness knows no end. We have been back at least 4 times since that Sunday and it has on every occasion been superb. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Karen Burgoyne

The Clifton arms or as it was called the pickwick tavern has always been a bit of a white elephant but after hearing “new couple in there” and great reviews I decided to try it out !! What a fantastic job they have done lovely clean pub with super staff and a food menu to die for. Went in on the pie night and honestly the food was superb !! All homemade,well presented,tasty and served with a smile !! What more do you want? And the price was more than reasonable !! Looking for a nice bottle of wine ? Try the Malbec at only £20 !! I will definitely be using here on a regular basis ! Next visit already arranged to try the Sunday roast. Tony,Zoe and team you are smashing it !! And turned a white elephant in to a golden goose

We enjoyed a Sunday evening with friends at the Clifton Arms and predictably we all ordered a Sunday roast. Everything came out exactly as ordered and they even catered for our Vegan friend by making vegan gravy which was a nice touch, great food & service and reasonable prices so everything was in order for us.

I have actually had to stop eating half way through to write this review as one the portion sizes are generous but mainly because this place is that amazing I felt I had already witnessed enough to leave great feedback. It was my birthday when visiting on the 09th but as I had been so busy at work we didn’t book anything, at the last minute we thought we would try here. This is our new favourite place, the food is amazing, good quality ingredients with bags of flavour. What a treat it has been to visit here and the staff are so welcoming. I cannot fault anything. Thank you for making my birthday special in the end.

Absolutely bang on Fathers day lunch. I had crab and creme cheese vol au vent, wifey had chorizo and sausage roll...excellent! Followed it with melt in the mouth breast of lamb on creamy mash. Just so good! Will be back soon.

My wife and I and 2 sets of friends have recently moved to the area in static homes. we have all visited the Clifton arms either together or on our own and eaten various dishes from the Menu and we all have commented how good the Food is. Last week we came with our daughter and today 11/05 we brought my mother. Every meal we’ve had has been delicious and well cooked. We are looking forward to our future visits to enjoy the great food and superb customer service Thanks

The food in this restaurant is on a higher level. The sirloin steak and pork belly were outstanding. My partner likes steak well done (no blood) and so it was but just well done, succulent, juicy and so tasty. The triple cooked chips are like no other - tasty succulent and creamy and the duaphinoise potato equal to them. The lemon and lime cheesecake and apple crumble, well you have to experience this at least once and enjoy with a smooth red Malbec. The service is excellent, warm and welcoming and though the restaurant and bar were very busy, gave time to chat. This quality is delivered with prices on a par with local restaurants. Looking forward to our next visit!

Having chosen our meal from the online menu, to go there and have a totally different menu spoilt our very rare family get together, I believe this is due to outside management, not the pub itself, however I sadly would not return, the food was not cooked to an acceptable standard

Really impressed with the food quality, Service great. Highly recommend and we will definitely be going back to try the Sunday lunch. Great stop off before you head into Lytham for food and drinks :))

Tried out for the first time, got to say really impressed. Under new management since September certainly a very warm & friendly welcome. The service was second to none, all staff proffesional, friendly & polite. The food was of very good quality, very fresh & tasty, came in a timely manner. The meals are a good portion size & I would say great value for money. I'll be back very soon. Thanks for the wonderful food. Zoe (owner) is so lovely & genuine & friendly she makes it a pleasant pub to keep coming back to. 😊 I love Pablo, fluffiest dog I've ever met, so friendly. ❤️

Dropped in on the way home for Sunday lunch...although it was 6pm. The pub is under new management and the team are working hard to bring a tired pub back up to scratch. New carpets in the bar and a fresh coat of paint in the restaurant have really transformed the place into a warm welcoming pub. The food was excellent, served promptly and piping hot, and everything was fresh. Will be going back for more and will certainly be trying one of their dry aged steaks soon.

old owners of Birley Arms same great food and atmosphere we had the dry aged steak on steak night same great quality and price as when they had The Birley

Drove past this pub many times and wondered what it is like for food, and just to say that I never fancied going in as the word I had heard of it didn't inspire me, but then this week I was told it had recently changed management and was fantastic, the food and everything so I thought I would give it a try. (the word had come via my sister). So I collected my friend and off we went, although my sister had given it a good rating I went with open mind, upon entering we was greeted by a very friendly member of staff with a warm welcome, asked if they was serving food and told yes, ordered some drinks and went to table, selected on the menu salt and peeper chicken strips, nice chunk piece's of chicken with a salad lovely sauce on it. now for the mains we tried the steak and ale pie, which with past experience in other places I wasn't expecting anything to blow my mind, how wrong can this idiot be, the meat was heaven on the tongue, the gravy was the best experience you could have with clothes on, and what I really liked was the pastry top was not like most place's with 3inch deep puff pastry, it was just the right thickness well cooked to perfection, the veg and everything was cooked just as it should be, and unlike a lot of places it was hot to the last mouthful, even the veg, if I had to be critical (and I 'am) I would have liked my coffee a bid hot to start with, but that is me being picky. Now I like to look at one or two bad reviews before I do mine to get a general feeling of opinion, it usually won't affect my mind, UNLESS,, like one I did read titled "my review" done in August this year, 1 Star, worst pub grub they have had, well the only thing I can say to that is maybe you was in a different Clifton Arms or the new management hadn't yet taken over, as I understand it they have taken their own chef with them, and today they are turning out fantastic food, I suggest you go back and tr4y again and if you are still of the same opinion I will pay your bill, I will be ringing them after this and tell them the same so they will have my number to contact me if you need it to be. On the subject of staff, the young lady that looked after us ( MYRION ) was very good at her job and very professional, and was a people person which is rare these days, and the gent who's name I did not get, ( they serve Blondes ) was just the same, the boss should be proud to have such staff, they are the front of house and good at it. Well done to the staff. THANK YOU for a wonderful meal. ***** I won't comment on all the menu till I have tried it.

Thought we had booked via website, but found out the website details are still going to previous owner so the Clifton Arms are not getting the bookings - so phone directly to get your reservation. 4 of us dined in and the service was excellent, attentive and the right amount of friendliness. Food, best meal, we all agreed, that we’d had in a while. 2 had linguine, 2 had belly pork. De-lic-ous! There was no rush to leave, we had dessert and drinks and had time to catch up with each other. Well done Clifton Arms, we hope to be back next time we are in town.

We have visited the Clifton Arms three times in the last two weeks and we have not been disappointed. We cannot fault the food and the generous portions they give. The staff are friendly and the service very good. Its a lovely friendly place to eat. Do your self a favour and visit this pub/restaurant if you can.

Beautiful Sunday lunch last week with our family! Mark and his team are wonderful and what a perfect experience it was! Please try this place you will not be disappointed!!!

Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely Pub/restaurant in Warton. The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing – everything we ate melted in other mouths and was truely enjoyable.Absolutely the best meal I have had in such a long time. The minute you walk in the staff are so profession and welcoming. The menu is amazing and caters to everyone. Such an array of food. There is a warm and friendly atmosphere. I really recommend the salt & pepper chicken. So glad to call this our local. Highly recommend!

Having been in a few times as locals, I can honestly say the refurb is fab. Makes it look like a different pub. We had never eaten here before, but having heard the recent reviews after Zoë and Tony have taken over, and seen the food coming past us 😍 thought we got to try. So nipped in Sunday late afternoon and was not disappointed! Food was delicious! We had the Sunday roast and beef and ale pie - Service was 2nd to none. Would definitely recommend a visit, you will not be disappointed. We will definitely be back to try more on menu. Especially with the great offers too. Pool table, darts team and shows to the sport too. Which is a bonus! Thank you Zoe and the team.

Visited this place 12 months ago and wasn't impressed. Saw a post showing a different menu and was curious if the pub had maybe changed hands. Thought we would give it a try as we visit the area most weekends. WOW.what a difference in the food, no comparison to the last visit! We had Spicy Garlic Bread, cheese and branston croquet to start with mains of a Hot and Spicy pizza and the Chicken Supreme. The food presentation and quality were excellent. Ample portion sizes and reasonably priced. We will definitely return.

This is our local pub and has just been taken over by Zoe and Tony who are absolutely lovely! Great staff, all really friendly. Tried the light bite menu today and it certainly didn't fail to impress. I had Caesar salad, Mum had the steak and my son fish and chips. All meals absolutely delicious and well presented. Fair prices. I would definitely recommend!

Just been for Sunday lunch and can honestly say it did not disappoint. We had the roast chicken, beautifully presented, very good portions, very tasty, cooked to perfection. Wonderful home cooked food, amazing cauliflower cheese. Very friendly and attentive staff, nothing was too much trouble for them. I had the sticky toffee pudding with ice cream for dessert, amazing! We will definitely be back soon to try the beef, well done and good luck to the new owners. Excellent value for money.

We've been back a couple of times since Tony & Zoe have taken over. You're always guaranteed to have a great experience with the team run by these amazing landlords. We had Sunday lunch today. Absolutely spot on! Roast Beef with all the trimmings. Served by the lovely Rosie, who can't do enough for you. Very happy locals here. Thanks Team Clifton!

Called at the Clifton lastnight , unfortunatley one day ahead of the new menu launch. However Zoe and her team went out of their way to feed us all (family of 5 ) The food was all absolutely delicious and we look forward to returning soon to try some of the other items on the menu especially the Sunday roast. The atmoshere was fresh and the pub spotlessly clean and the hospitallity outstanding. We WILL be back.

Worst meal ever, pub needs a really good clean, very dirty toilets, bar man stuffy looks like he needs a hood wash.

The best place around to visit, brilliant atmosphere. Owners, staff and customers always give you a welcome. The food is excellent and always served with a smile. Nothing is too much trouble here.

Took my daughter for a meal, not planned. We were able to get a table no problem. Also was dog friendly. Staff were excellent, food was tasty. Really friendly atmosphere and my daughter was given the opportunity to help get the open fire started. We...

Often wondered what food was like as I go in often but never eaten. Fabulous. Hot. Tasty and served with a smile. Very pleased and will be spreading the word Really really good

Reservation for 2 on a Saturday evening. Arrived and the pub was very quiet. We were able to choose where we wanted to sit. The pub itself inside is very spacious but is quiet dark. The decor is nice and the tables and chairs comfortable...

Dined here at the weekend. Menus were very grubby, food very mediocre & expensive considering what's dished up. Bar staff were fine, as were the drinks. We'll only pop in for a drink in future.

Sadly not a review we wanted to leave, firstly we had just travelled up from Devon a 6 hour journey. We were both hungry and opted for the BBQ chicken and chips, the waitress was amazing absolute credit to her she was so lovely and...

I’m a local regular and whilst the refurbishment is really good both inside and out it very cosy however we are now paying for it, £16 odd for 2 gins! Where’s the new food is good that’s through the roof also my starter was £7!...

Made a return visit to the Clifton after many months away. A lovely welcome from the owners as always. Very safe environment with rules observed. Service as good as always, Prompt, non-intrusive but checked all was ok a couple of times. All was certainly better...

Friendly, prompt service from the moment we arrived and throughout our visit. Great selection of well kept beers. Varied menu for all tastes at a reasonable price. We felt relaxed that all Covid precautions and processes in place. Looking forward to a return visit soon.

I am trying to be objective here given Covid, Track and Trace etc as i know that running a pub can't be the easiest at the minute but last Fridays visit was poor to say the least. Seated/served quickly but no attempt to take any...

Recently visited for a family member birthday tea and a couple of drinks. The beer was really good, service in particular the young lady in the restaurant was really good and friendly, food menu choice good and the itself was really very good, just a slightly bigger portion next time please! We’ll definitely be returning again, well worth calling in.

We had a fab day at the classic car show today. Brilliant atmosphere everyone seemed to really enjoy it, thank you for organising it and for providing a bacon butty ( or in my case an egg butty ) and a brew. We stayed on for lunch and it was fab, cheese and onion pie was the best I’ve had anywhere, will definitely return and have that again. I believe the hunters chicken was equally excellent. All this and dog friendly, perfect!

Just left the clifton arms in warton and our meal was amazing!! Great food, great service! Will defo be returning.

Came here on recommendation and so glad I did ! What a fantastic eatery ! Excellent staff ,superb service and food which is second to none ! Will definitely be back and would restore anyone !

Would like to thank Andy and Debbie at the Clifton Arms warton. They are doing a great take away service with excellent food. They will even deliverFantastic food, lovely couple nothing is too much trouble.Thankyou once again we will be back.Linda and Jim

The pub is quite near to my partners but we rarely visit.We thought we would give it a try one evening and where pleasantly surprised.we were welcomed by a very nice waiter who has a slight foreign accent he showed us to our table explained the menu and brought drinks to the table.The food was excellent and reasonably priced and we met the land lord and land lady who where really welcoming.Good place to call if you are travelling to or from Blackpool.

The Clifton Arms or the "Pickwick Tavern" as it is still sometimes known owing to a previous incarnation has been "the local" in Warton for many years.New owners with imagination have made the place into a more than decent place to eat and drink. Friendy and attentive staff, especially Dawn and Ernie plus a reasonably priced, varied and interesting menu all get our seal of approval.Highly recommended.

We were a regular party of 6 people and our first visit since refurbishment and change of tenant. Prices are reasonable with a fairly extensive menu. It is the cooking that impressed everyone. Not a single complaint from any member of our party.In fact unanimous praise.The only improvement I personally would suggest is is a increase in the chips and vegetables they are a bit on the slim side. With a bit of publicity after the reopening it should thrive.

Went for a family meal, The food was really nice, everyone was pleased with their meal. The staff were very friendly and it's dog friendly too.

We went for a meal on Thursday 5 December 2019 as we had family members visiting for Ireland.I go into the pub frequently for beers but have never had food although had been told it was good.We ordered the lamb dish, steak pie, cheese and onion pie and fish and chips.The food portions for the pies were a quarter of a plate pie, the lamb very fatty but I had little complaint about the fish and chips.Total bill price with 8 lagers was over £80 which was not cheap in my view for what we received.I have never had any complaints about the beer here but may think twice before having god again.Disappointed

We chose here tonight for our monthly group meal...and sampled a variety of meals from an excellent menu. The pub was clean and tidy and the bar area bustling with early evening drinkers. Service was prompt although the barman mixed a couple of drinks up. This was quickly put to rights and wasn't a problem. The waiter wrote them down ok, we checked.. Food arrived after a brief wait and was a little different to the usual pub fayre. My Chicken Stilton with crispy bacon was just that..and delicious. One tiny criticism, the huge breast could have used a little more delicious sauce!.A very nice evening...and well worth another visit.

Called in on spec yesterday for lunch, based on the fact it had been refurbished. They have made a great job inside. We were given a friendly welcome and seated immediately. The menu is quite varied so I chose a starter of Mushrooms in a Garlic Cream SauceThe portion was a little small for the money and although it tasted of garlic, overall it was a little lacking in body. However, the warm bread accompanying it was delight. Other meals ordered were Steak and Ale pie—Chips, Veg, Gravy, plus extra Cauliflower Cheese. Verdict— Beautiful Steak Pie slice. Rich and tenderVeg well cookedFantastic homemade chipsRich, tasty gravy. Cheese and Onion PieVerdict— Excellent pie, not bulked out with potatoeVeg as above Sunday Roast BeefVerdict — Good potion of tender beefVeg as aboveServed with Mash Roasties and lovely Yorkshire PudSticky Toffee Pudding and CustardAbsolutely delightful and served really hot Warm Chocolate Fudge Cake and Ice CreamAlso delightful If I had a criticism it would be that the mains were served on cold plates but I’m sure this will be rectified in due course. It’s a shame this pub was so quiet given the quality of the foodI’d definitely go again and I’d recommend and urge people to give it a try.

First time here since it has changed hands, upon arrival nice and warm, excellent friendly staff, good service, more than can be said for the Sunday Lunch which is quite expensive.The only good thing about the meal was the lovely steamed veg.The Lamb was fatty, Yorkshire Pudding was overdone and two rather small what should have been Roast Potatoes.I was asked if the meal was O.K after I had paid which on reflection just should have paid for one meal.Could do better!.

Dropped in to see what the fuzz was about. John Holts brewery have done a great job inside and out with plenty of parking, good bus routes it’s in a great position. A great asset to Blackpool. Not tried the food yet but the pizza served to the next table certainly went down a treat with them! Staff friendly and polite when dealing with a problem customer a low tolerance approach appreciated by fellow customers. Well done.

Visited the Clifton arms Warton on Sunday with my wife and daughter soon as we entered the busy bar area you could see what a great job the new owners have done with the place. Starters two great Sunday roast a large burger perfect dessert to follow.Andy is a great host looked after us the whole time. WELLDONE guys definitely be returning.

Went for a meal with my other half last night and it was fantastic. We had the mushrooms and the nachos to start and then the cheese & onion pie and my other half had the lamb henry. All meals were delicious and generous portions. I am not normally one for dessert but they had Wallings ice cream so it was a must! Would definitely recommend and we will be back.

We were here on the 6 - 10 - 19 the service was slow and the chicken dinner was short of chicken the beef had one slice of beef not impressed wont be going back has my school teacher said one can do better

The new team were most helpful in arranging the venue for the wake after my wife’s funeral.The setting is big enough to accommodate a fair number of persons whilst still providing enough privacy for such an occasion.

Went for Sunday Lunch with my Hubby wanted to try the Traditional Lunch the new Tenants where advertising well it was absolutely wonderful and was Traditional home cooked food there was a choice of lamb.beef.chicken my hubby had a black pudding stack for his starter he said it was delicious then followed by the lamb which he says was so tender. I had chicken which again was lovely they have certainly worked hard the place is spotless staff waitresses are really nice and helpful they are doing something in the other bar so hopefully next time we are in we will see what it’s going to be. I’m sure with what they have achieved so far it will be brilliant well done to you both you have certainly turned the Clifton Arms around your food is delicious thank you.

What an excellent evening, the food was fab ! My filet steak was cooked to perfection. It was high end service and very reasonable prices.The staff are friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. I'll be sure to go again very soon...

Visited after it had been refurbished, and was pleasantly surprised, wife asked if she could have a small dinner, which we were informed yes and we will knock a pound of your meal, staff very friendly and the food was to a high standard, good prices nothing silly (unlike other pubs in Warton and Freckleton) will definitely visit again.

What a refreshing change. This pub used to be pretty run down with awful food and an uninviting atmosphere to say the least. We heard it was under new Management from Sept 2019 and everyone is trying it out. I mean everyone in the local area! It has been redecorated to a high standard, it's warm and inviting, has a great selection of beers and wines and the food is to die for. A Gin Bar is also on the way. This week we've actually eaten there twice because it was so good. I can certainly recommend the Garlic Prawn starter, the Hunters Chicken, Beef Madras and delicious Bailey's ice cream for dessert. There's a great table just off the bar area which would be perfect for larger get togethers with family or friends and you could always tickle the ivories as there's a piano in the corner. You can also choose to eat in the bar or if you prefer it a bit quieter there's a dedicated restaurant area. Dogs are welcome so don't forget there's biscuits behind the bar! We hear there's a deli/café opening too in the next few weeks. I would certainly recommend this place, it's really changed and is definitely becoming the hub of the village.

A lovely atmosphere and great tasty good value food. We’ve eaten here 3 times since the new management have taken over and every time it’s been the same high standard. Defo recommend !!

Beautifully furnished and could not have had a better welcome, all the staff that served us were extremely friendly and professional and the food was outstanding. The new land lord and lady have totaly turned this place around and is a credit to them. Highly recommended

A group of us went for dinner last night as we heard the pub was under new management. Super welcoming atmosphere first of all. The whole team were really focused at making sure we had a great night. We had a lovely big table to sit at. The food was great and well priced. We stayed till last orders as we had such a good night. Will definitely be back.

There were 7 of us all family and all had different drinks & meals all of which were very good staff made us welcome only one main issue for us was the owner ? floated around speaking to people overheard him say if everything is good tell your friends anything bad tell Me however seeing we were a big party not once did he take the time to speak to us surprising really because we understand this is anew venture (all other staff were most welcoming and very attentive. we would try it again and hopefully the one issue would be a one off.

The new look Clifton Arms, now the Clifton at Warton has been transformed from a not so welcoming grubby pub, into a very welcoming clean and very friendly pub with excellent food, a superb choice of beers and wine and some very professional new owners in Andy & Debbie. We have been back 3 times in the space of a week since there opening and will be visiting on a regular basis for dinner and drinks.

This hotel is the perfect choice if you are travelling to Lytham. Beautifully decorated with light and airy public rooms.

Popped in for an early tea, first time since the new owners took over. The bar staff were very welcoming, The food was excellent looked and tasted like home made. We met the chef who told us the Ingredients are all sourced locally (meat from Townsend’s butchers). A Big welcomed surprise was an 80’s DJ in the bar area! Ended up staying for hours. Loved the speciality gin bar!! This place is definitely worth a visit!!

We were searching for a pub for an evening meal and spotted this place.. It was a little busy in the bar area but the restaurant was relatively quiet.

Staff are incredibly friendly as are punters, before it was taken over we walked in then straight back out it has had a bit of decor and is now a warm and inviting environment. House vodka is amazing. Food is to die for! I had the lasagne, partner had burger and our daughter the sausage. Not one complaint. Glad it's good again with it being our local will be in a lot. I recommend everyone to give this place a try and the new owners a decent chance. 5 star amazing

What a great night once again Thankyou Daryl and Tracey such a friendly fun place to be xxx Linda and Jim xxx

We had a lovely meal here one late afternoon after having a drive to Lytham. The welcome was lovely, the beer spot on and the food lovely and at a reasonable price. All was absolutely lovely. Then I went to the gents. Although it looked clean and tidy it absolutely stank. I would hope that it was a 'blip' but I'll never know (thankfully).

Had a Sunday dinner it was the most disgusting we have ever had beef was very tough and who may I ask serves sweet corn with a Sunday dinner COME BACK JULIE

Called today for tea and even though arrive had finished they carried on a served us . Lovely Sunday lunch service was fabulous Brilliant well done

My first visit after living in the area for 5 years.

It was really nice to see my local pub starting to do food again. So, I gave it a try. My girlfriend and I were not dissapointed with the meal or the surroundings. The staff are friendly and helpful. Always useful when you have a pescatarian with concerns about gluten. My only dissapointment is that Trip Advisor can't get the location right. The Clifton Arms in the village of Bryning-with-Warton between Preston and Lytham and just down the road from Wrea Green. PR4 postcode.

Whilst the area is seeing a surge of 'Gastro Pubs', many indeed offering a great dining experience, it is really refreshing to see someone providing good hearty traditional cuisine with first class service. After many years in the doldrums the Clifton Arms aka Pickwick Tavern at Warton now fits the bill. Good food, good wine, good beer all reasonably priced... and a nice welcome and great service. Well done to all concerned.

This is now my local pub now there is a new landlord, in such a short time this landlord has turned this place around, it is clean and very pleasant staff. I have been in there for four meals now and on each occasion the food was first class and hot again the staff in the dining room were pleasant, as far as the pub is concerned it is spotless and the bar staff know what you want after your first drink very friendly place to have a drink or meal i will certainly be telling everyone, hope it continues to work to this high standard.

Myself and my partner returned to this pub when we heard it was under new management. Already there is such a much needed improvement.

Family Christmas Dinner was the event. Lovely food, not overfaced and a leisurely pace that really suited the event. Their choice of wine for us was spot on and the service was excellent (sincere smiles all round). Full marks and very much appreciated hospitality.

Went here for a works pre-Christmas lunch and was pleasantly surprised.

A varied menu,really liked the steak pie,very popular ,plenty of others in attendance,children & dogs friendly.

been a few years since we have been glad we went back we ate off the small portion menu hubby had steak and ale pie I had fish and chips both very tasty had coffee and little shortbreads for afters very nice must admit it was a bit quiet but that didn't take anything off the quality of the food we will certainly go back.

Visitamos este pub en Navidad y no puedo quejarme! Obviamente, la gente es gente y visitar el pub regularmente como el ambiente se sentía muy común y agradable - como si todo el mundo conocía muy bien. Estaba muy limpio y los inodoros estaban bien cuidados, que es más de lo que se puede decir de muchos pubs en estos días. El pub estaba muy lleno, pero el personal del bar se las arregló bastante bien y bien educado. Buena selección de cervezas y licores. No pedir comida, pero tenía un poco de sonido en el menú y tenía una buena selección de comida a precios razonables. La casera era muy acogedor y estaba deseando una Feliz Navidad a la gente entrar en el pub. Muy agradable pub y me alegraría venir de nuevo si me estaban pasando.

1, la mala gestión y personal. . . . . .

Ambiente agradable ya que el personal era muy agradable y amable y muy educado. Aseos limpios, que para mí lo dice todo. No muchos, pero un cantante llamado, Sammi, Pastor nos entretuvo, ella era una fantástica cantante y muy divertido.

Stumbled across this lovely little place completely by accident on the way home from a weekend in Blackpool, food was amazing, was well cooked and wait time was minimal, great friendly service and the best cuppa I'd had all weekend, will definitely visit again.

Una excelente comida servida en un entorno cómodo con un personal muy atento y amable. La gama de opciones en el menú también era muy impresionante, podría haber elegido varias opciones diferentes, es una pena que sólo estuvimos allí por una noche.

Vine para una copa temprano por la noche el sábado pasado. Encontré algunos del personal del bar más jóvenes muy amables, sin embargo, la casera es más desagradable. Ni siquiera una sonrisa o un saludo cuando entré en o una sonrisa cuando me fui. El único hablando que hizo fue decir un grupo de personas jóvenes con sus niños, que tenían que salir para 7, un buen rato antes de esto era necesario. No voy a visitar de nuevo por el mero hecho de este. Aparentemente, hay comida, pero no puedo comentar esto ya no era comer o alienta a hacerlo.

The menu was very basic...Needs to expand it more.'Specials' were advertised on the menu but when I asked what there were there wasn't any.My gammon was as tough as old boots and the battered fish was on the small side and could of done with a few minutes more in the fryer.The staff were very pleasant.

This is our second visit for Sunday lunch in the last couple of months . Beautiful dining room . Lovely attentive staff and the food is just great. Really interesting twists on tradition . Mid priced but so worth it . Thank you Clifton Arms .

Popped in for lunch to be greeted by miserable staff, a child like chef dressed like a chav throwing a tantrum cause he had run out of garlic bread, a waiter dressed in ETO jeans and a hype tshirt running around being over apologetic to customers, a lady walking in an out of the kitchen throwing cutlery (or something very similar), we were served drinks in glasses with last nights lips still printed on the side then wen replaced came with free crust and all that before being served a meal not even rats would nibble on!! My partner ordered home made fish and chips for £7.95 it came and looked like a fish finger and was more rubbery than a bouncy ball with a hand full of frozen chips (not homemade!!) that was sent back, I ordered the BLT and although the menu clearly states comes with chips and coleslaw and is more money than just a sandwich it came with a blob of salad so we had to remind them of their menu.. Other people were sending their food back too.. My partner went to the toilets and although their was a sign on the door that said urinals only it failed to mention There was a huge puddle in the middle of the room and a draining rod poking out of the urinal.. the place is awful!! They need to hire a REAL chef and a plumber!!

Well, we have been 3 times now, and each time it shows more and more the total farcical lack of organisation and attention to detail.The first time we went - the food was ok, but its things like a colleague of mine orderd the Ham and Eggs - which no joke, on my mothers grave, it was the wafer thin ham from Tescos or other supermarkets we could mention. But was it laid out in a fancy manner to which you could disguise that fact? No - it was still in the same waved interlocked pattern as it was packed in some meat packing plant in Grimsby or wherever.The second time we went, the service was slow - and my mate ordered a jacket potato with cheese and beans, and that came out (eventually) in a bowl looking like a lasagne, even the waiter sorry server announced "Lasagne", but he had waited that long he would have taken a plate of s*it with sugar if that had been presented. My burger - which came out like a flat meatball than a handmade pattie of beef.Our third time, well one has to give the pub industry a chance these days - we all went down, and things had not improved at all. The chips had, they were the nice chunky ones - well for those who were luck to have been served first - then you got the very average frozen fries for the unlucky ones.I ordered bacon and eggs - to be told after 10 minutes, sorry we don't have that, can you order something else? I wasn't going to go for the ham and eggs - as we already knew that was Tesco Wafer Thin ham, so reluctantly I ordered the burger again, but asked this time that it didn't shrink down - to a glaring look from the server. It did come with white gunk to which I asked for none of that - at least she got the "no salad" and no shrinkage right, so I wasn't sad, cos 2 out of 3 ain't bad!But worse, my mate again was last - his chip butty came with skanky thin chips, our other colleagues ordered cheese toasties - that I think just had the brown lines drawn on them as clearly they couldn't have been cooked in anyway as the cheese hadn't melted at all. Others who ordered fish - couldn't have it.Lightning Club next time - you may not get a fork with your dinner, but at least its right and what you ordered.

Only fresh home cooked food served at the Clifton. Sunday roasts. Exceptional and home baked cakes and flavoured bread.

Having recently been taken over and undergone a refurbishment, we thought we would give it a try. We went today (Sunday), and what a treat. Sunday lunch comprised of Beef or Pork and it was cooked perfectly. This was served with veg, Yorkshire pudding, Roast and mash potatoes. I then opted for a desert, which again was fantastic. Plenty of great food, and a great atmosphere in there too.

I visited this newly taken over / refurbished independent pub today. Happy to say having had the 'Sunday Roast' with choice of beef or pork, I opted for beef. The beef was not the type you sometimes find ( reheated packaged ) but a proper cut from joint.Served with fresh roasted vegetables (broccoli, parsnip,onion,potatoes & swede) and an individual gravy pot. Gluten FREE.As for taste...10 / 10

Very tasty beautifully presented food, I loved it! I had roast beef and my partner had the mixed grill... wow definatly worth a visit or two

The Clifton Arms (formerly the Pickwick Tavern) have started doing food again - as of last week. The menu is good but not overcomplicated or too extensive. The first look at prices seems a bit on the high side, but when you see the portions and quality (all home made) you realize it is good value.I have had a madras on Wednesday curry night (£6.95 for curry, rice/chips, poppadom, naan bread and dips, plus a drink) and it was excellent. The meat tastes of meat rather than being part of the sauce. For Sunday lunch I had beef with all the trimmings for £7.50; again a lovely meal. If you want a pudding (I didn't because the dinner beat me) you can get it for £1 with your meal order. With friendly staff staff around, it is a great place eat and drink.

Pub food only available at lunchtime; Mexican Burger = thin frozen burger on a bun with nachos, cheese, guacamole, frozen fries; tasteless; cappuccino sent back as looked like a black coffee, exactly same thing returned (at a cost of £2!)Dark and dingy old style pub. Ok for a pint if you work next door I guess.
