The Poulton Elk • JD Wetherspoon in Wyre

Nice spacious spoons etc large car park at rear , situated in a nice area

Not happy, I ordered from the steak club menu, I asked for my steak to be well, done, it came to me swimming in blood,.my daughters was fine, I asked for eggs which came on a separate plate. Took it back to replace it. It came back with no eggs, by the time I got it back my daughter hD finished eating hers. The staff aren't very friendly either. If this is the standard they offer I will not be going back any time soon.

Went for an early breakfast wasn't disappointed.

Great pub brilliant for families too.

Typical average spoon's good selection of well kept cask ales

Wetherspoons with an outdoor area front and back. If you are driving, park for 3 hours free at the Teanlowe Centre a couple of minutes walk rather than the pay and display next to the pub.

Visit from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 dropped in For Lunch Very nice Weatherspoons Food and Staff very good would visit again when next on my Travels ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

What a lovely afternoon spent here. Sun shining.

Whoever served me and my nana our food today at 13.20 was so rude to us and has really upset my nana with her attitude. It was an old lady with short hair who told us what we ordered was wrong after the newbie at the bar had placed the order wrong to which it was “our fault” and she was right. We then got told we should have checked with them that what we ordered was right instead of attempting to fix anything then shouted and walked off. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. Food was fine awful staff

Soup spoon dumped in soup and told I would have to fish it out. Bad attitude from staff.

Was a mice place to have breakfast.

Beautiful place with excellent staff and excellent food !

Would have given better rating, but as a group of men working away just wanting a few pints and some food got asked to leave bang on 9 o'clock by the manager because one of lads had no id even though he'd already been served two pints at the bar, will not be coming back in

Staff were friendly and helpful service was fast and efficient and really good value

Always reliable. The place was crammed, even on a Monday night!

Not bad considering there was not a table in sight ! Shows how popular it is!

Good place to meet with friends. Good food, lots of variety of beer, lager, cider etc.

Food lovely, staff friendly, and service quick, reasonable prices and sufficient portions.

Busy pub in Poulton, which has re-balanced drinking in the area as the venue pre-Wetherspoons was a succession of fleeting businesses. Lots of tables and an outside area but still can be difficult at times to grab a table.

You don't go to Spoons for the food. The Koppaberg was under £3 a pint so no complaints but the food was very meh. Staff brilliant though and nice atmosphere in the outside garden.

Nice clean venue, good range of beers and lagers. Price good!

Everyone knows the Elk. Fab service, especially the table service.

We come to this restaurant frequently and we always arrive with high expectations and leave happy. The food is always cooked perfectly. The staff work extremely hard but they are always polite and extremely helpful and they have excellent knowledge of the menu. The management are professional and new staff are trained to a high standard. There is good staff retention and they make regulars feel welcome without alienating new faces.Tonight we have just come for a drink and a snack but yesterday myself and my husband brought our friends here to celebrate a birthday. The steaks easiy matched the taste of the high end restaurant down the road but arrived without a similar price tag. The chicken wings came as a three plate deal there were 10 pieces in all and arrived crispy & piping hot . The jacket potatoes were fluffy and hot and the salad was very fresh. We had a fruit salad to share as we had birthday cake at hom and again this was fresh and inclusive strawberrys, blueberries, banana and apple at under £50 for 5 people you just can't grumble( we don't drink alcohol but even if we had it would have been a further £10 max). We just want to say thank you not just for yesterday but for everyday. Hope that this pub continues doing what it does best!

What a lovely little place. Fast service. Lovely staff. We sat outside in the sun and it was lovely round the back. They have outside seating both at the front and the back. We had all day breakfast which was fantastic. We will most definitely be back. 10/10

We went for some food. I ordered the American cheese burger. I have to say that it was the worst burger I have ever had. It was the size of a happy meal burger and tasted microwaved. The texture was soggy cardboard. However, it did come with 10 chips ☹️ I should have expected it when my bill for a soft drink and 'meal' came to less than 15 pound. I hope that was a blip because if that is what you are serving all the time. It needs changing!!!

Don't think I've eaten such a grim sad burger

Consistently the best real ale choice in any JDs.

Staff need to watch the bar more instead of thinking they've served all. Stood there like billy no mates while they cracked on talking out of the way. But typical spoons anywhere. Get it sorted

We do go for breakfast here quite regularly, usually between 830-10am and it's very hit and miss. Oddly enough, the food is better when it's busy. Today we nipped in and were the only customers and most of the breakfast was overcooked. The service is friendly and there's always someone around if you need them.

Lovely breakfast, happy attentive staff. Clean premises

It's as good a spoons as any, the food is just spoons, cheap with portion size getting smaller and smaller.

Standard pub food but at reasonable prices. Cury night is good value on a Thursday.

@Lauren pours a perfect pint of Ale. Three times in a row, please make her a trainer for the rest.

First time there, visiting our son, will definitely be coming again, very friendly and clean, 👌

Just like any other Wetherspoons. Quick service and as expected food. Cheap and cheerful for an end of week dinner. Very busy, but managed very well by managers and staff.

Excellent venue very big inside and plenty seating outside and there is a big car park right at the back very well situated and only a 1 minute walk to the town centre

A lovely environment to enjoy a coffee

Always has an atmosphere. Great selection of cask ales at really good prices. It's Wetherspoons so usual grub. You know what you get. No frills but solid. You can knock it but at these prices you can't knock it. A couple of screens but definitely not a sports pub.

We went as a family group of 8 and we did enjoy ourselves. The food was very good service very good, only downside was 6 of us got our food together and we had almost finished before the last 2 got theirs.

Lovely and clean. Food delicious. Service fast and efficient. Great atmosphere. Love the decor. Definitely go again.

Brilliant! Great pint right price.

Went to this weatherspoons yesterday as a cheap meal for Father’s Day with 5 other people. I’ve been to a few different Wetherspoons a lot in the past and couldn’t fault it! I received what can only be described as a child’s portion of chicken strip burger and chips. The barm was as small as a child’s barm with around 12 chips on my plate! Wouldn’t have liked to have seen the kids portion. I do get the food is cheap, but for the amount of food you would like, that was ridiculous! I ordered a garlic bread too! Which came and I could have likely frisbee’d it over the room, it was that hard. I could hardly cut it and there was likely little or no garlic used in the making of it! One of the party ordered gammon and egg and received Ham and egg. When she questionned the waitress, she literally didn’t say anything apart from make a small grunt and walked off. We didn’t know if she was sorting the food out or speaking to someone! The original food wasn’t taken away either. My Dad didn’t use his cutlery as it stank! He didn’t want to use it. I think there was literally a complaint from everyone who had food! You really need to take a look at all the complaints on food and make some changes!

We went for lunch today, been here several times before and the food has always been OK. Today it was very disappointing, very small portions, 1 of our orders was wrong , but the staff weren't very interested. I certainly won't eat here again

Great service.. Even better cask ale. Busy pub as always on 'spoons' legendary Thursday curry nights.. Staff always kept busy but never too busy to be polite to customers..

Lively place order via app.. Plenty of offers.. Food is good for the price

Poor service staff not trained enough

One of my favourite Wetherspoons. Incredibly friendly staff and food plus drinks are always prepared to a proper standard in a very efficient time window. Atmosphere is always great both outside and indoors, prices are fantastic for what you get, and I’ll always die over Wetherspoons chips. Always worth a visit for any occasion.

Only down point - we had a parking ticket . The parking is pay and display, and we missed the notices 😔 . I don't feel it was highlighted enough.

Always a great atmosphere & brilliant service.

Nice place with excellent beer garden and good food and stsff

Ordered chicken in lemon. Very nice melt in your mouth. Was a big piece of chicken leg with chips. Would order again. Great atmosphere. Great price.

Even though was extremely busy, the service was quick and efficient, had a great pub atmosphere a perfect starting point for a night out in poulton

The food wasn't that Good. Sat outside in the Sun tables very dirty

Cheap n cheerful decent everyday food

Good food but quite noisy environment

Usual great value for money weatherspoons.

Another very good Lancashire spoons. I had a Fiesta brunch with extra bacon, poached egg and black pudding. For drinks I enjoyed refillable coffee, filtered water and an IPA. Total cost was just over £11. Nicely decorated with large outdoor seating.

Loathe the owner, only went to be sociable.

Cheap and cheerful meals. Quick service. Busy place.

First time visit called in for something to eat on our way home from St Anne's....friendly staff and served quickly via the app even though it was quite busy....would certainly call again when in the area.

Good service from nice staff. The Elk serves good food, has a friendly atmosphere and is kept clean, all in all good value for money. You can sit out in the sun when it's nice. In winter there is a real fire to keep you warm.

This is an excellent wetherspoons with a clean and stylish interior good food and pleasent and efficient staff. It appeals as it has the feel and look of a more upmarket place. A thoroughly pleasent visit.

Went here to meet a friend. She lives in Blackpool, I live in Preston so this area is approx hlf way between by bus. It was as nice as many W'spoons are. The hot chocolate was v hit-&- miss due to faulty machines. But the food we ordered (3 sharer snacks plates) was hot & delicious, as usual in many W'spoons (though not all) & I v much enjoyed myself.

Great spoons. Clean ,tidy, good staff and great location

Great atmosphere and good place for a few drinks

One of the most upmarket Spoons I've been in!!

Pretty busy pub but quite nice with a decent atmosphere. Saturday bit crowded for my liking due to seating issues so get there early enough if ya don't wanna stand!

Good was excellent. Polite quick service.

Good offer on Mondays on drinks.

Lovely birthday meal for myself and my wife, good quick service and nice friendly atmosphere in a very busy pub.

Easy in and out. Nice food, quick service. Always busy so tables are not always cleared but good for a quick bite

Enjoyed the mixed grill. Very busy. Nice atmosphere. Will be back.

Food was shocking burger was slimy and smelt off. Onion rings was undercooked not crispy just soggy sorry but no chefs work here ild advise going somewhere else if you out for food otherwise drinks are good 👍🏼

Nice place definitely recommend

A top class Spoons with fast, efficient and friendly service. With big hitters like Plum Porter and Jaipur cask ales on sale - you can see why it’s been in the Good Beer Guide for the past 9 years. Well worth a visit and only about a 10 minute walk from the railway station.

Sunday evening, lots of drunk adults with kids screaming strategically place away from parents. Easy parking but you have to pay. Fast but over efficient service (ot personal). May have been a busy day and staff now running on auto piolet. I will go again but not a Sunday ...

Typical witherspoon cheap and cheerful

Called2pm Wednesday We had two main courses and two drinks Could not fault anything, Staff were all pleasant,not a long wait for food. Nice and warm on a miserable weather day.

Just popped in for spot of lunch typical wetherspoons. Food ok drinks very cheaply priced.

Good food and service. Good value for money.

I had the steak pudding we ordered at 11:50 so not very busy, it was dry around the top, my mash was solid around the edges. And the gravy was in two mini sauce pots. My lad had a gammon that came with no egg, not sure if it was on the menu or not but who offers gammon with no egg?

Nice atmosphere, decent food, just always full of families, not really fun if you're after something more peaceful. It doesn't bother me, but I know people who hate noisy kids at mealtime

Was very disappointed with the burgers myself and my son had, tiny flimsy thing and a tiny portion of chips. Usually wetherspoons food is OK but it was very poor on this occasion

Cosy atmosphere, attentive staff, quick and efficient service and the food was hot and tasted lovely. Will be back

This is the size of the fish I got with my small fish and chips. I always order this size and have never been given such a small piece. I brought this to the attention of a member of staff who agreed it was very small, but refused to do ANYTHING about it. Yes I took a small nibble out of the fish before getting a picture, but surely this is the kids' size or something. Absolutely ridiculous.

Good food nice and hot, one of the coffee machines wasn't properly working. Good surroundings for a meal or drink. Update... Went for breakfast today. Most of the food was cold unfortunately so I've reduced rating by one star. Also it took a while to have the dirty dishes collected.

It's a Wetherspoons. They'll all the same with unbeatable prices!!

Been coming here a while but it’s very hit and miss now as seem to be misjudging staffing resulting in food being cold as it waits so long to be taken out. Keep sending dishes back so it’s costing them. Also some nights you can wait 20 mins for a drink, other nights just a couple of mins. Needs sorting as we will swerve it for a while now.

I have been recently to the Poulton Elk including Christmas eve , great service ,very quickly served and very clean ,the toilets alone are immaculate

Excellent lunch for four, no complaints at all

Food and drink cheap and cheerful, was busy early on bit quietened down later on.

Great place to meet for our works party friendly staff and good service.

I popped in for a coffee while I waited for my car to be fixed. The staff are friendly.

Only had a simple chicken tikka masala. Very tasty.

Just popped in for a drink. Quick service and found somewhere to sit .

Great prices and ales. Door staff, long haired pony tailed bloke, was a bit ignorant. He barged passed me as if I wasn't there and didn't apologize. Rude

Great pub, great prices, lovely breakfast & lunch

Pub a bit dated. Toilets very good

Had the Christmas dinner, nice!!!

Decent enough Wetherspoons. Friendly staff. Plenty of car parks outside but they are pay and display. Disabled toilets on the ground floor. Standard fare for a spoons but all round one of the better ones.
