The Devonshire Arms in Blackpool

Had a lovely meal, we are locals but had family over for a few nights and they enjoyed their food and time at the devonshire, we would like to say a massive thank you to danielle the waitress everytime we come she can never do enough for us, she's always so polite and so helpful but most of all no matter how busy it is she's always so happy which helps us relax and enjoy or time there. Thank you guys for making our family feel welcome.

Great friendly staff food we didn’t have to wait long for food and it all tasted amazing we will definitely be back again to try more of the menu

Booked a table for Sunday roast lunch as advertised. When we went to the bar to order was told they do not do Sunday roast lunch.

We come regularly and it's always amazing food, good value for money and fantastic service, especially from Danielle.

Fantastic staff very helpful and all smiling. The food was very nice (compliments to the chef) I also had a nice chat with the Landlord Dean.

Good value pub grub. Been coming here for years

Great staff, good food in a nice family friendly atmosphere.

Deary me what's gone wrong.starters came out with part of main course.waitress didn't seem to know what a main course was .then said she would keep it warm on hot plate.was like an ice land take away .couldn't see any popular pasta on menu.dissapointed..Will stick with local restaurant in future. There was no serviettes .cutlery.or side plates..

Randomly decides to stop servicing food without telling anyone.. was sat in the bar for an hour enjoying drinks saying we would have a couple of drinks before food and at 7:45 was told they don’t want to take orders anymore.. says on their website food is still serving (and I could even go online and place an order to collect), but they want to get home early. No apology or anything when they knew we wanted food. Terrible customer service. Spent over £100 on drinks between 5 of us and was going to spend a lot more but now we’re having to go elsewhere for food and drinks. Will tell everyone to stay away.

Came here for food with my son on bank holiday monday. We enjoyed it, lovely food and brilliant service from the bar man. Thank you.

I do like this pub and find it family friendly in general. Great menu and I've always found the food cooked well and to a high standard! Compliments to the chef :) The only thing that lets it down is the service at the bar. There is a larger lady with dark hair who has always been consistently sullen and non engaged with the customer when serving. Not sure why that is but a smile and a thank you does go a long way. Only thing that puts me off. Otherwise a lovely establishment

Nice place, picked the wrong night to drink in there. Seems like we disrupted the room where the three people taking part in the quiz had camped.

The food previously was very good and good value. This time however I ordered the large mixed kebab with the steak upgrade. It came in a huge plate but the contents were far smaller than the plate suggested. It was the first time I'd had a mixed grill without any eggs. I thought there was a mistake but there was no mention of them on the contents. The Gammon was nice, as was the steak. The mushrooms (4) were nice but rather more of a garnish. The chicken was overcooked and hard but the taste was nice, just too chewy. The sausage was nice but the chips were a kids portion in size. Far too little compared with the size of plate and the meat ratio. If it was more proportioned and included eggs or would have been an extra star.

Food and service both fantastic a lovely welcoming pub

The food was quite nice and looked well when served however there were 5 of us and we waited for 40 minutes for 3 meals to come out. Then another 20 minutes for a 4th meal to come and after waiting a further 30 minutes for the last meal to come out we cancelled it. There was only 1 member of staff serving behind the bar so 2 of us waited about 15 minutes to get served. 3 of us ordered drinks on the app and we had to ask for them twice. 55 minutes later we got the drinks.

Food is absolutely beautiful and very tasty, the staff are really lovely and helpful, the toilet are always clean and tidy, would definitely recommend and prices are really good 😃 10/10 from me

Booked a table for a work function (5 people). Myself and one other person ordered 1st on 2 separate tabs. The manager somehow seemed confused which burger we were trying to order according to menu and when we asked to upgrade to spicy fries he seemed clueless, ordered my own meal on the 2nd tab but before he served me I attempted to double check no one else standing at the bar had been waiting longer to which the manger snapped 'do me a favour? Are you ordering off this table? Then order your food as I have all these customers to see to and im on my own' the manager then seemed oblivious to the upgrade option on chips as my friend ordered spicy chips and he was beyond clueless ..once ordering food I made it clear I wanted my own tab to which he replied 'I might as well put it on her tab, just easier to split the bill (meaning put it on my friends) taken a back i made it clear that i wanted my own tab, was obvious he was finding any easier way of serving us. Anyway i ordered a burger and the rest of our table ordered on the app. We were only given 2 sets of cutlery and when a member of our table made her way to ask for more she was told by staff ' well we are short staffed!' Within 10 minutes most of our tables orders arrived apart from mine and 1 other guest. 40 minutes passed until we mentioned to the 1 only food runner we explained we were waiting on 2 more burgers, she apologised and disappeared. Another half hour passed before 1 more burger arrived (baring in mind we ordered 2 complete different burgers) the waitress arrived no apology and said 'burger?' Had to guess which one it was. Yet another 20 minutes pass and steal no burger for myself! In the end I asked for a refund again rude manager commented 'well its on a tab so you haven't paid yet' thankfully enough he took it off as well as a drink, regardless ruined the whole experience and was all excused by being short staffed, appalling service and won't be back. Further note manager needs to learn bar etiquette and basic manners

Staff excellent manager Dean always really approachable and friendly.

Emma is a credit to the pub. One of the most friendly members of staff. She always has a smile in her face 😃

Lovely meal, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff

We came on Mother's day also my Sons birthday. I booked a table for 4 for 7pm its a place my partner & i live to eat at. When we arrived the place was quiet there was no table reserved but plenty to choose from I asked if possible cud we sit at the big oval table I was told no, as they were expecting a group of 6 people although it did not say it was reserved,not long after we were sat at out small table a couple came in on their own & sat at the table I had asked for. We then went on to order our food my sons girlfriend ordered double chips with her fish we both ordered the fish wen they came out the fish was burnt to a crisp ive had fish here many times but this was bad it was embarrassing she has the same amount of chips I did, i did complain but the man said it was all correct & walked away I called the lady who brought out the food she agreed that the chips on the plate was not a double portion that i had paid for so she went to get more chips we made the best of our evening that we had looked forward to but my son & girlfriend said it was their first & last visit very disappointing as me & my partner often eat there but on this occasion was not worth the £75 spent.

Friendly staff, well cooked good value food. Clean premises.

Been coming here for years, and never had anything but a great apnospehere great experience with food and service always with a smile, lovely landlord/ bar staff always very happy and talkative this is the place to come for food and drinks, the new food menu us absolutely outstanding very well presented on your plate, tastes absolutely delicious would highly recommend.. thankyou

Been in a few times, the service and food has been top notch each time especially today the food was piping hot and really nice...the only thing that let it down this time was the waitress that just didn't make us feel welcome at all. Don't expect a song and dance but no check back on food...and no table manners what so ever but was happy with other guests and completely ignored my thanking her on leaving...it won't stop me from coming back but I just couldn't look past the service this time.

We have a table for 7 plus 1 highchair, everything was ready on our arrival. The waiting staff were friendly and efficient. The food was amazing and well worth the 30 min wait as they were so busy and I can understand why.

What the hell!! Popped in for a change and bloody hell what a surprise! Popped in on a Wednesday just after 5pm for a drink and ended up having food as the price was reasonable and food coming out looked good. Yes it was! Hubby had clucking hot stack and I have a burger and chips. Very very good food for the price, tasted great, nice portion of chips and reasonable too. Now then, what surprised me the most - 2 cocktails for £8.25 ! What a bargain...more to the point 4 shots for £6.50! We have been frequenting another popular well know cheap chain and the Devonshire Arms is offering cheaper prices and still good quality food. We were so that surprised that this Friday we will be visiting and giving it a try for a night on the pop rather than our usual places. Barman was bob on as were the waiting staff and it didn't feel clicky like it has last time we came (over 6 months ago). Place was also clean and toilets clean too. I'm gobsmacked! Not what I thought it would be like.

Was my first time there today and I like it because there are different rooms you can choose to eat or drink. My husband and I wanted a more quiet room to relax and glad there was one there but other rooms can be busy but it's all good as you have a choice. We got burgers and chips and it was nice and the price is right. I definitely recommend this place to chill around the area.

All good but the young lady on the bar had an abrupt cold attitude,dont know if she'd had a bad day but its not in our interest and shouldn't reflect to customers in that way,if she don't like her job she should get another she's letting the pub down

Staff fab food not so great if im honest . Nice and quiet when i went . The staff was friendly amd helpfull the food just wasnt great . May have just been an off day . .

It was very cold inside, the fire was not lit and it seemed like a cold breeze was coming down the chimney. There were just 2 people behind the bar and one of them was taking food out when needed and when people left tables they were not cleaned away for a long time so it looked a mess

Bar staff and management unbelievable Christmas day made the experience of a Christmas day drink excellent didn't eat will do soon

Service was so slow and the pub was quiet,so after 40 mins I had to leave and come back. Staff arguing over who was working at Christmas and how little money they had. And when we got the food it was average at best. If you're going to argue, don't do it in front of families trying to eat

Good beer ,good for sport in back room, friendly staff,food good ...

Amazing Christmas day meal, food lovely, great service, great price. Would recommend it to families. Really enjoyed it!

Excellent prices and choice of food and drinks. Great service, and you can't beat 2 fish chips and peas for £11.

Lovely, friendly, cosy pub with lots of seating for food with music and festive tree and lights. Also a back bar for adults only.We had a family meal, which was really nice and amazing value for money. Would highly recommend.

Very warm atmosphere, friendly staff and great food at an incredibly reasonable price! Would definitely recommend

Only went in for drinks with friends nice atmosphere.

Graham is absolutely brilliant, best customer service skills I've received from a pub, makes you feel at home, definitely 5+ stars

Staff are amazing. Fast to be served. Great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this pub to others. Big screens for the football and other sports.

Had a great dinner tonight, early start at 5:30 easy to get served before the rush. The food was delicious. We were made very welcome by the staff and it was just a great night out. After our dinner we met some old friends and reminisced about times past. Thanks to the landlord and staff for a great night Ps the bar was spotlessly clean, beer cold and we look forward to seeing you again soon 👍

If you’re looking for something nice to eat in Blackpool, (that is a hard task in its own right) or just a drink in a pub that isn't rough. this is the place! Staff are very friendly, service is absolutely great and the food quality is 10/10! Couldn’t recommend it enough,

Excellent meal. Landlady is very friendly and a great host. Relaxed atmosphere.

Had a great experience here today, i came this afternoon with my partner and our 2 year old daughter and our experience was great. My daughter wanted a drink she seen off the cocktail menu so the girl behind the bar (think her name was Jenna) put her orange fruit shoot in a glass with some oranges in it to make it look like the picture (minus the alcohol) 🤣, our daughter was very happy with this 😊 good clean establishment and the food was delicious. This was our second time here now and we was very happy from start to finish we will definitely be back. Thanks again Devonshire arms ☺️

Went here today for the 1st time thought it would be Nice!, Wow how wrong was I! There was 3 of us we waited 40 minutes for food we were starving & looking forward to it & when it eventually arrived it was Cremated we ordered 2 Hunter's Chicken Meals & Burger & Chips, Chips were cold! Won't be back anytime soon!

Fantastic service well priced food and drink Ordered the classic mixed and grill and my wife and the chicken and steak combo. Both cooked perfectly

It was a funeral wake for my mother

Food is lovely and staff are friendly and lovely atmosphere.

Great place for a drink with kids and family, both I don’t have , quite pricey but a nice clean and good boozer , I’d recommend

Great atmosphere, fantastic pints and decent pub food.

The service was amazing. Graham is brilliant and good to have a laugh with. Dean runs things brilliantly. The food was delicious, both of my girls emptied their plates.

We had food and drinks and I want to say the food was cooked to perfection I also so want to say a big thank you to Karen our waitress who was rushed off her feet,but she still made sure we were ok. Great will call in again 😁

Nice place. Fab food. Friendly and helpful staff

Good food and fast delivery Great friendly staff Nice beer. Overall great experience Will be back when next here from Tasmania, Australia

Went for a pint and to watch the footy, Dean made us welcome and we had a great craic with him ! Decent sport setup

Excellent food and service a very welcoming establishment. The staff are very friendly and accommodating nothing was too much for them the landlord also as a great sense of humour.

Only had the 1 drink pub seemed ok

Lovely food and great place to have drink in the evening

Absolutely lovely food great friendly and helpful staff pretty good beer selection great for kids and teenagers highly recommended

Lovely atmosphere with friendly polite helpful staff. Good selection of beers at reasonable prices.

We were a group of 5 people and everyone really enjoyed every mouthful from beginning to end. The service was great and all meals came together.

Food was fab and very reasonable price

Had a great night great food and great service love this pub really is one of the best in Blackpool

We like this place. Nice food at prices to suit the pocket, not a loud rowdy place but a nice place to go for a pub meal with the family. The staff are great with us which is one of the reasons we keep going back.

Very friendly staff x really lovely tasty meal x I had steak which was delicious will definitely be coming again soon

My husband and I have just had steak for tea. He had sirloin mine rump it was excellent and well presented, very pleasant lads one delivered the meal the other served our drinks .. all tables immaculate and all very clean been plenty of times before never had a bad meal yet thank you .. see you again soon

Nice family pub. gr8 food and service keep it up

Food was excellent, there was a wait of 40 mins but to be fair they were very busy (5.30 pm)

Below average, service shocking.

I did send an email regarding our visit and how horrendous it was. We spent £80 almost. The food took a long long time to arrive and when it did it was all cold with lots of items missing. Also for infection prevention policies and procedures under bo circumstances should the chef be going to ghe toilet wasting his kitchen apron. This is disgusting.

This is on Google has dog friendly. Walked to the pub. Then told no dogs. Make it clear!!!!!

Apart from children and workers it's OK.

Waited 30 minutes for food to arrive. No explanation why. Burgers when they arrived were dry.

Whenever the regular landlord is away the place falls apart. Scampi, chips and peas all overcooked. Lasagna with barely warm cheese on top, salad with no dressing which was literally lettuce, 2 pieces of cucumber & half a tomato. Ordered as a side dish but received 2 as no garlic bread. Very slow service - took over 30 minutes for this. Didn't have the wine which is on the drinks menu. Next time we visit & the landlord is away we will stick with a bag of crisps!!! Music so loud you can't have a conversation, which might be ok during the evening but not at lunchtime.

Spent over 1hr 45mins for food but when it came was lovely. Staff are lovely very helpful aswell.

This pub is great for a casual night out. Reasonable priced drinks, 5* bar staff, bonus as you can create your own playlist. Highly recommended especially for a girls night out.

We had a family meal here, the food and service was fantastic , I had the vegan burger and vegan dessert and it's hard to believe it wasn't meat. Been here a couple of times now and would highly recommend, also great prices 👍 Cheers to all the staff

Visited today with my partner and my mum. This is our usual go to for a casual meal out and today did not disappoint despite them being understaffed the service was still fast and efficient. Would reccomend and will be visiting again as usual.

The pub itself is nice enough. When busy is hard to get a seat, and the food is usually good.

Straight forward lovely pub with great staff.

TVs showing football. Good atmosphere in the vaults. Staff quick to serve.

The food was lovely the staff are great and I go here regularly

We recently moved to the area and this was our first time visit to our local. The service was fantastic and the food was absolutely delicious. Wow, we were just so impressed with the staff. They exceptionally lovely and made us feel so welcome. Such genuine and polite customer service is not easy to find nowadays. We will definitely be returning. Thank you :)

Decent food and friendly staff. Prices good as well.

Great food, great staff, very enjoyable afternoon. Even after the table was cleared, there was no feeling we needed to leave soon so we could really enjoy catching up with friends. Will make it a regular meet up as a great atmosphere. Noticed they show sports too so I will probably be more regular visit than others. xxx

Really enjoyed it here, good vegan options and cheap drinks, nice atmosphere.

Good for food and drink at reasonable prices

Decent enough place for food and a drink

Stopped of just by chance for a meal and we were not disappointed, the service was quick, Staff were friendly and the food was amazing (and freshly cooked too) 100% all round.

Food was amazing group of us went in and ordered various stuff all complimented

We are locals here but this year was the first time we had Christmas dinner there, and wow they went above and beyond, everyone was so polite even though they were missing out on being with their own families to serve us, the food was absolutely stunning the pate was gorgeous, we have already said we want to have dinner there again next year. Thank you to all the staff at the devy Arms 😘

The food was delivered to the table in a flash , and chef Matt deserved a A** for superb quality of his food , deserts were very delicious 🙂🙂

Really lovely young bar man, so polite, friendly & helpful.

Great bar staff very friendly good food pretty quick considering mixed grill and tikka and a bonus to win £70 on the fruity.will be back

WOW what a beautiful pub! The outside doesnt do it justice you have to visit just to experience the interior its beautiful. Foods spot on, service is efficient, drinks are perfection warm, welcoming and will definitely be back

Slow, waited over an hour for steak :(..... However we did receive an apology and the reasonably priced food was OK.

We’ve been to the Devonshire arms a few times for food and it’s always spot on. Low wait times, products always in stock, friendly staff, food always tasty, well cooked and hot as it arrives. It can get busy in an evening where wait times increase, but, it’s always worth the wait.

Food was OK, but my chips were cold which always irritates me. The place really is a bit sad and shabby. The atmosphere has always been weird anyway in The Devy Arms. It could be SO much more, so cool but that would take money and taste.

Not great, food over cooked, bar staff Not the friendliest ,food pretty tasteless even the garlic prawns, wouldn't recommend at all

Ce este plăcut la această restaurant este pe mijloc de sala barul cu băuturi unde se servește separat de tisghea din același bar dar și locația este bine aleasă ținând cont că clădirea este amenajată pe o stradă principala populata și pe colț de stradă poți găsi parcare dar există și câteva în incintă recomand un popas pentru o gustare și ceva de băut.
