The Fairhaven in Fylde

This is our 2nd consecutive Sunday lunch at the Fairhaven. It was super and served by a great team. A few of us had the three meat roast, a couple had the turkey roast - all piping hot and delicious. The cauliflower cheese and Yorkshire puds are delightful. The toddlers had a kids roast - perfect portions. Others had salads or burgers. Not sure we can go every week although it is reasonably priced and has a great pub restaurant atmosphere.

We had a family get together, 15 of us, fir Sunday lunch to celebrate my husband's birthday. They did an excellent job of catering for us all and the food was excellent. Everybody enjoyed themselves. It is a lovely warm atmosphere within the pub, and I can certainly recommend it.

We had taken a stroll down the pier and had parked outside the carvery but because of the TripAdvisor Travellers Choice award, we made our way here but with hindsight we should have gone in the carvery. When the first thing that comes out of the kitchen includes a small bowl of dry and overcooked peas (see the photo), it probably sets the scene. If a "chef" can't do peas properly, there's no hope for the rest of it. The Rib Eye looked nice and nicely succulent but was pretty chewy. So why didn't we say anything? The staff here never once 'checked back' to see how the food was and were masters of avoiding eye contact - I could describe two in particular but I won't embarrass them. The TripAdvisor AI summary describes the staff as attentive which they definitely were not. We sat in the dog friendly area near the kitchen door and at one point heard a fairly loud sentence coming out of there containing two expletives - one starting with F and one with A - not really what we wanted to hear. Lastly, and this isn't the pubs fault - one family had a dog on an extendable lead - so effectively it wasn't on a lead at all. The visit wasn't terrible overall but some aspects weren't acceptable so they're getting an "average" review but we definitely wouldn't return here.

Had an amazing meal at the Fairhaven with my friends, great choice of starters, mains and desserts. Great atmosphere and great staff!!☺️

Amazing food, good value dog and family friendly! Can tell the chefs are really passionate about the food they are sending out waiters are all polite would recommend!!

Our visit for an afternoon tea was very disappointing. Yes, we arrived early and they greeted us well, but the food wasn't up to our usual expected standard. I sent my supermarket stale scone back and they brought me the same again. Why couldn't they bake their own. I thought the small cake selection were bought in as well, so not a good experience for my friends birthday celebration. Would not be a returning customer

A monthly gathering with work colleagues, very friendly couple served our drinks , we ordered off the lighter lunch menu , two of us had the scampi which was delicious and just enough portion size , one had the steak sandwich and another had the avocado 🥑 salad on focaccia all really lovely , will be back !

Possibly the worst dining out experience ever. My husband ordered fish and chips. Very small portion of chips and the fish was dry and cold. When he complained they took it away and brought the same fish back on a hotter plate - still inedible! When he asked for the fish to be replaced he was told they didn’t have any more. I ordered the house salad and a side of chunky chips. Most of the chips were scraps. The salad was a disgrace, it was mainly leaves with a watery dressing. The menu said the salad included tenderstem broccoli, mangetout and red onion. These were missing, the server brought me some broccoli on a side plate and said that the kitchen didn’t have any onions! What professional kitchen runs out of fish and onions? If I could give this zero stars I would.

Not too busy, not too quiet. Came to watch the football and ended up playing a game of chess! A variety of board games on offer and very friendly service.

Welcomed by Beth. Who gave great friendly service. Great food. A none garlic eater, I was able to get the delicious Hunters chicken without. So many restaurants put it in everything, because they just don’t know how to seasoning food without. A great upbeat vibe throughout the pub/ restaurant. Will definitely go again and again.

We booked a family lunch; consisting of 4 generations, here to celebrate a 96th birthday. We all enjoyed fabulous food at a very reasonable price served by friendly and welcoming staff. The children's meals were exceptional good value.

Just back from lunch,and have to say the two roast lunches served along with deserts were very enjoyable. The event was spoiled by the price of the drinks, over £5 for a tot of whisky,and over £4 for a J2O substitute was a little OTT. We are seeing more people asking for tap water ,or not having a drink at all these days,and in more cost saving times,this is not surprising.

Had the most delicious Sunday lunch today, table of 4 had full Sunday roast , drinks & desert & cappuccinos for under £100!! Will definitely be coming again….. soon.

Came here early for Sunday Roast before our drive down south. All enjoyed an amazing roast with excellent sides, the flavour in the food was amazing. Enjoyed lovely dessert & coffees. Really recommend this pub to others. The food was delicious. Definitely coming back!

We were in Lytham for a short break and The Fairhaven was the nearest place for food so we decided to try it. On entering we found the atmosphere to be convivial and received a warm and friendly greeting from the staff. All tables were supplied with menus and table numbers making ordering easy. The pub carries a good selection of beers and spirits as well as wines. The menu should offer something for everyone and we both ordered different meals, based on the menus descriptions. When our food arrived it was well presented ( though using fewer plates and ramekins could reduce the overall washing/power bill ) however the food itself was tasteless and some of it appeared to be leftovers reheated. Safe to say we won't be eating here again but would have no problem having a drink. .

Fair haven pub food is a rip off charged my daughter £2.85 just to fill a bottle of milk calamari was scraps and the pudding was jamaica ginger cake and lumpy custard absolutely terrible food and won't be going back there disgusting enough for a child on adult portions

We visited today for Mother’s Day and were superbly looked after. The food was delicious and the staff were very attentive on what must have been a very busy day for them. Sauces were brought, extra gravy too, and our photo was taken all without any feeling of being rushed. We felt very looked after. The mother of the party being given a little gift was very thoughtful and made a big impression. Thank you so much team Fairhaven.

Went for the Sunday lunch, all three of us went for the triple roast and it was absolutely delicious. The meats were so tasty and melt in the mouth tender, lovely thick gravy and delicious veg. Obviously pretty good place as there were loads of tables reserved and a constant stream of walk ins too. It was a sunny day and the beer garden was full when we arrived at 1245 ish, would be a gorgeous place to sit out in the Summer. Dog friendly most of inside too.

Lovely food - all fresh. 4 adults and one child and we were all really happy with the food and friendly, excellent service. Our dog was also made welcome. Would highly recommend.

Lovely Sunday Lunch with friends. The food was excellent, good size portions and very nice. The staff were lovely. There were some well behaved dogs in the pub, but we were seated in the dog free area and didn't notice them. We will definitely return next time we are in the area.

Dog haven u can not avoid them so if ur like me and have pet allergies avoid 🤧 no where to sit to avoid them an chicken was like rubber will not be returning

As consistent as ever. This is our second visit, we came 2 years ago to this delightful pub near The Fairhaven lake. The food was spot on and an excellent ale selection. If you like your scotches there is a nice selection behind the bar The bar team were lovely friendly and welcoming. Very, very dog friendly, with doggy snacks behind the bar. Pawstar Martini. Will definitely be back.

This is a nice pub with great staff. However, it promotes itself as ‘dog friendly’ which is an understatement. Most of the pub is set aside for dogs and those of us who prefer a non-dog area are told to use a part of the lounge at the rear of the dining area - very dull and no atmosphere! Perhaps one area of the bar should be reserved for ‘dog free’ so that those who wish to eat and drink away from dogs feel as welcome as those who bring their pets with them. A better arrangement may make us all feel welcome

Lovely food at a reasonable price. Used the free drink when downloaded the app. Menu had alot of choice. The 2 courses for £14.50 was a bargain and plentiful. Staff were pleasant and helpful. We will return

Fabulous Fairhaven, lovely atmosphere, cask ales, great food. All the staff are amazing, so friendly and helpful. Got to mention Charles cos known him longer. Great sense of humour, very professional and exceptional service.

Lovely meal with the family, friendly staff and all round a decent pub. Will be going back. Steak was well cooked and the wife's lamb smelt amazing.

Went for Christmas dinner with family on Christmas Day. Food was excellent, staff extremely attentive. First class service, thank you. Highly recommended

Beautiful spot, warm and welcoming staff and lovely food. Great place for families and couples alike. Also dog friendly.

We had a lovely evening. The food and service were excellent and the Christmas decorations were very festive. They allow dogs, which is a bonus and there's plenty of parking.

Visited the pub last week had a lovely lunch with some family. Brilliant selection of lunch sandwiches great food and portions. All the staff were great very friendly! Would definitely recommend

The Aspall cider was sweet and delicious, I felt the effects of having a pint without even feeling like it was alcohol, the Amstel beer was also good, I've had multiple drinks there over time as it is my local. The staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is pleasant with a good view of Clifton Drive.

Had our family Christmas meal here recently. We had a variety of meals from the Xmas and daily menus. There was plenty to choose from and all the food was delicious. Evie, who served us, was attentive and made sure were happy at all times.

Have been coming with the family for a while now and The Fairhaven Pub never fails to impress me! Friendly staff, delicious food in a warm and welcoming pub.

Sunday lunch was lovely. Mushroom Wellington was delicious and crumble pud. Lisa Emily great service

We ordered our drinks and the man behind the bar was very rude. He didn’t even speak to us. When he brought our food to the table again he didn’t speak and literally slammed our plates on the table.

The best Sunday roast that we’ve had out! We were so impressed and the gluten free options were super. The staff were very accommodating. We will be returning!

Lovely vibe, dog friendly so amazing if you have a furry friend. Food and drinks are amazing and lovely staff.

Lovely lunch, served by warm and hospitable staff. Even though the weather was so hot for the staff running in and out of beet garden, was greeted with smiles. First and not last time.

As this is the closest pub to us which year ago was amazing but the last few times we have been in for food it's so hit and we ordered starters which can at the same time as the mains because its was all put...

Me and my friends came in last week at the bank holiday we were greeted by little Lisa who managed to find us a table even though inside and outside was packed to the rafters she was so polite and went over and above us...

All 3 meals ordered were awful. Hunters chicken made with what tasted like bolognaise sauce! Definitely no barbecue sauce in sight! Mixed grill you could barely cut the meat which had a texture like it was boiled before frying! Would not return.

There were flies around the table food was poor quality drinks expensive used instant coffee tables wobbled loads felt like it was going to flip chairs were uncomfortable and unstable

We had a lovely afternoon meal here. The food was excellent and the were staff were really helpful and friendly, Perfect and they are dog friendly.

Came to try the new food and menu and was extremely happy with meal size and flavour staff was extremely nice with help from the chefs for knowledge what contents was within my fish pie

Nice pub, had some reasonable meals on the past but standards seem to have slipped. We ordered the all day breakfast, bacon was dry, black pudding cremated and full of fat, seemed like it had been deep fried. The fried egg was missing the yolk....

Great .had Sunday roast after walk in beach .Dog riendly too .so a winner all round .good atmosphere .staff pleasant .food is standard pub fayre but I enjoyed

Food was poor hoped for much better based on the rating I went yesterday left the food ended up going to McDonald’s for a McFlurry for dessert. Whole family didn’t enjoy meals

Food was great lots of options. Staff were very friendly and provided great service. Would definitely recommend anyone in the area to pop in and visit.

Not been for a long time so decided to visit today. We shouldn't have bothered. Service was slow, no atmosphere whatsoever, food not served all together meaning my family members had started and finished before me and customer service was shocking! I felt I was...

The kids had a great time, lots of activities and a lovely breakfast buffet. Will definitely go again

The food was good the table was sticky. But as a person with a physical disability (speech impediment) I was taken aback by the reaction I got when I asked for a drink. And the bar tender looked at his colleague for some help rather...

In amongst the menus we found an A4 sheet offering to put people who give a 5 star review into a draw for a £20 food prize. This completely undermines the value of Tripadvisor as an independent site for honest reviews. The food is pretty...

We visit the Fairhaven with a few friends last week. What can I say. The food was incredible, staff were really friendly and accomodating. Plus, dogs being allowed in is a big plus, 100% going to come back soon

I was served by Evie and I’ve never had a better encounter. Polite, considerate, fast and exceptional drinks. Evie went above and beyond to make the experience amazing. Wouldn’t recommend a place more and if you go make sure Evie serves you! Love love love

I am in regularly and see Evie nearly every day running round like a headless chicken. She always has amazing service and a friendly smile. Constantly performing at 110% always look forward to comming back to enjoy the atmosphere and friendly staff.

We were on a short break and searched for a pub that was dog friendly with a good reputation for a Sunday lunch. Unfortunately for us we decided on this pub. I can only surmise the reviews are for the prior owners/manager. I ordered drinks...

My elderly mum and I visited for lunch. She is in a wheelchair and finds t hard to communicate. The staff were extremely accomodating and couldn't do enough for us. My mum ha a lovely time. The scampi was delicious and so was the soup.

Just been to the Fairhaven. Myself and my wife chose the 2 course £9.99 menu. I had the king prawn and squid starter, perfectly cooked delicious. Main course was pork belly and bubble and squeek. The pork belly had a crackling crumb and was crispy....

A really comfortable, clean and friendly pub. Properly dog-friendly too. Good choice of beers and drinks. The food's not gastro but it's good and reasonably priced - just what you want from your local.

Ordered food and drinks through the app. Very long wait for two hot drinks and two cold. Ordered vegan food with violife cheese, as I am lactose intolerant, I ordered a vegan dish. When it arrived it was served with cow cheese. Luckily I had...

This pub/restaurant is ideally positioned to serve an eager large population. Unfortunately the restaurant badly lets this establishment down. The new menu came into use last night. Obviously prices had increased, so we expected a better meal.In the event our meal (fish and chips) was...

We visited this restaurant on Saturday night after pre-booking a table. That proved unnecessary as there were only 14 diners at 8 pm. On arrival, we were totally ignored by the two male staff behind the bar. When I finally got their attention we were...

We decided to try the Fairhaven whilst visiting family in the area. It compliments the picturesque coastal town of Lytham. It was clean, spacious and nicely decorated. With a nice range of beers. The staff were friendly and the service excellent. The food was great...

Variable food - same meal one day to the next varies enormously. Super food salad was missing all the superfoods, shame as it was lovely the previous week. Gave feedback to the man behind the bar but he really didn’t care less.

We would highly recommend this lovely pub, beautiful inside, good selection of drinks, spoilt for choice with the food menu. All of our food was excellent, portion sizes are great and value for money. The staff were friendly and professional. We will certainly be visiting...

We meet after choir every Tuesday and they're very accommodating, whether we order coffee, wine or lunch. Staff are very helpful, lunch menu is great and prices are good -what's not to like?
