The Stork Hotel in Lancaster

We had a delicious lovely dinner, rented a room for the night and then had the best breakfast we have had in England since we arrived 30 days ago. Highly recommend you stay here and eat here as often as possible.

Found this place by accident. Lovely set menu for lunch. We had the Rendang bites which were very tasty and the fish and chips for main course which was exceptional. Fresh haddock with great texture and taste. Perfect chips and peas. Thoroughly recommend.

Very nice pub not far from where we camped (Ashton Hall) after a 10 min walk. Good friendly service, reasonably priced, dog friendly, bigger than it looks from the outside with plenty of seating inside and out.

Lovely place . We had breakfast there while visiting Glasson Dock and it was amazing and so very tasty . I would love to know how the chef made the mushrooms taste like heaven

Stayed for 2 nights for a relatives wedding party. Everything thing went smoothly with no issues.

A very nice eating place,great food,very good service and Not over priced, a 3 corse meal for 2 was under £40:00

Reasonably priced steak and venison pie followed by rhubarb and ginger crumble with custard- we were starving!! 😉 Food was good and hotel/restaurant was busy and clearly popular.

Lovely place very friendly staff.

Update - Staff are very friendly. The hotel room was fantastic, very clean. hairdryer, shampoo n shower gel provided, tea/coffee, kettle n nespresso machine n lge tv. The shower was amazing !! Hotel is Dog Friendly too.

This place is stunning. The food is very good, I had the best beef rib I have ever eaten. Good selection of beers, plenty of parking. Stayed over for 1 night. Super room, spotless and comfy bed. Only down side there was no chair to sit in, had to sit on the end of the bed. Lovely walks around the area.

Brilliant Sunday dinner. Very friendly staff!!

Food was tasty and improvement on previous visits. Busy as bank holiday

Very good service and food Clean and pleasant pub. Good outside areas Recommended.

A fantastic dog friendly welcoming classic pub hotel just outside Lancaster. Good food and selection of craft beer, in a lovely setting.

The service was good and very helpful wish I could say the same about the food the mash was microwave mash and just didn’t fit the description on the menu and we waited for about an hour and half and we waited at least 15 mins to even get our drinks definitely will not be going back

Nice pub..but could benefit from some decent cask ales from other brewerys than marston's..

Had a lovely relaxing weekend hear, food was ace. Had both evening and breakfast.No scrimping of portions can also rate the staff. Very helpful and kind. Has become one of our favourite getaway haunts.

Great staff. Lovely spot. Fantastic selection of drinks. Food is good.

Lovely food, mostly traditionally British with a few good vegetarian choices, very friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere. I just wish they had some local beer on tap.

I have nonstandard intolerances and the staff could not have been more helpful trying to sort out what dishes I could eat. Thank you. It was so reassuring. The food was brilliant, as was the surroundings. Can't wait to visit again!

This is an abomination of a restaurant. There was a fire here under the previous manager. Sadly they rebuilt it and it’s open. That fire should have been the end of the stork but sadly it still trades. I was unfortunate enough to eat there recently. My wife had the misfortune to order the beef rib. It was fatty and the bits that weren’t fatty were melted by being in the microwave too long. I was told and I quote” the chefs here can’t be held responsible for the quality of the food they produce.” I ask you how can someone supposedly trained in front of house stand there and say that to a customer. I won’t ever return plastic food and plastic staff. Avoid at all Costs!

Lovely meal and atmosphere. Spent the afternoon in the garden. Then, I had a meal inside.

Just popped in for a takeaway coffee, which was super, and in Vegware cup.

What a lovely pub A great run out and the staff qhere realy friendly food great Great price and lovely and clean with a great car park.We will definitely be there again

Monday 12 April 2025 we popped in for a meal around 7.45 staff were brilliant, warm & welcoming atmosphere & food was excellent, not the 1st time we’ve been for meals & drinks & not the last, always an enjoyable experience even hoping to book Christmas lunch & stay over once booking is open. Thank you all for a lovely visit see you soon. Best wishes Sandy Robinson, daughter & husband💖

The food was so good and the staff were very friendly

Yet another great over night stay in this lovely country pup And very dog friendly

Excellent food, quiet atmosphere, and cosy nooks to feel like you're alone. We sat and ate with our dog between us. It was a very enjoyable end to a lovely walk.

Nice place to go and very clear

Amazing place with tasty food and friendly stuff. Worth the price

5-Star Review for The Stork! We recently stayed at The Stork in Lancashire during a long-distance move to Scotland, and we were thoroughly impressed! The food was fantastic, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the price was just right for a much-needed rest on the road. The hospitality was top-notch, and it made a big difference for our team during such a busy time. A big thank you to The Stork for looking after us and providing such a great experience. Highly recommend to anyone passing through! The ASP Tramsport & Removals & Storage Team

Stayed one night wishing it was more fabulous places great staff fantastic food five star ⭐

Recommended by our Airbnb hosts, called in for breakfast. Lovely.

Our hosts at a local Airbnb recommended this for breakfast, and they were so right. Excellent breakfast at a very good price; around £8 iirc. Service was great and speedy

Really nice place, lovely staff and the food was really nice for the price. Very reasonable and well prepared and presented. Thank you Stork!

The staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are excellent with plenty of tea/coffee (including Nespresso machine), biscuits. I was next to the beer garden and slightly worried it would be too loud with being busy but I slept absolutely fine.

The menu looked fabulous, but it was a flying visit. Hence, there are no stars. The staff and the drinks were excellent. I'm going back for a roast.

Stayed one night for a staycation of sorts. Really impressed by the friendliness of the staff and attentiveness at Breakfast. Rooms were well appointed, clean and very good value. Excellent local walks and surroundings too. Would stay again.

Went for Sunday lunch, my wife had the pork loin, I had the beef. Oh well…vegetables were ok..ish, roasties were overdone, broccoli was undercooked, but worst of all, both meats were overcooked and if it hadn’t been for gravy and horseradish sauce, they would have been inedible

I recently dined at The Stork with my family, and we had a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming, displaying a high level of professionalism and politeness, which made our visit even more enjoyable. After placing our order, the staff provided my children with engaging colouring sheets that could be scanned to bring their drawings to life in a 3D mode—an impressive and thoughtful touch that kept them entertained. I highly recommend the Cheese & Bacon Beef Burger. Since we do not consume bacon, the staff took great care to ensure that every item we ordered was bacon-free, which we truly appreciated. The only minor downside was that our food took a little longer to arrive. However, given that the restaurant was quite busy, this was understandable. Despite the wait, the overall experience was excellent, and we will definitely be returning. The Stork has certainly earned a spot among our favorite dining destinations.

We didn t eat this time .Just drinks .There s a food & drink menu for dogs too .A dog beds near the fire .

Very relaxed place. Food was nice. Local people were friendly. Would go back on a cleaer day as it weather was gloomy. I think it would be lovely in the spring.

Overnight stay,staff very helpful and friendly. The hotel was spotlessly clean. Our room and bathroom were also spotless.A little bit out of Lancaster town but a bus stop outside of the hotel if you don't want to drive, Just make sure to check the bus times. Great place to stay for walkers. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

We booked ahead and although we arrived early, our table was already available. The food was very tasty and perfect portion sizes. One of us had 3 courses, one 2 and I just had a main meal (the steak and venison pie - I’d recommend it!) They have packets of treats for dogs (to buy from the bar, listed on the dog menu) and even have blankets available for them to snuggle on. The only thing to make it even better might have been a verbal reminder when we came in to order our food at the bar. We tried to order online via the QR code but not all menu items were visible so ordered at the bar.

A very good destination. An excellent Menu to suit all tastes. Good walking and for us the near/start and finish of the Bay Cycle route.Its a win win !

Good Food, Good Friendly Service,Staff on the Ball.Nice Vibe to the place !.

Could not fault. Excellent food, excellent service, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere.

Excellent place to stay, good kitchen, convenient car park. Highly recommend.

Food disappointing. Plate too small to accommodate meal. Chicken had been pre cooked and was difficult to cut. Meal left funny taste in mouth. Do not need dogs out of control. Need to look at dog hairs away from dog areas. Definitely won't be going back

Stayed at The Stork, just for one night. The staff, particularly Anna and Becca looked after us so well! Lovely place to stay, eat and drink. Evening meal was great, with lovely real ales, and the breakfast was amazing. Cozy atmosphere and lovely place. Thank you.

Had an absolutely fabulous stay here with my daughter for her 10th birthday. I had let them know in advance that it was her birthday and they birthday and they pulled out all the stops! Thank you so much for making her birthday extra special!

exceptional service, luxurious amenities, and unforgettable experiences that made my visit truly remarkable.

A lovely pub/hotel with an inviting atmosphere. Welcomes walkers and dogs. I had the lamb shank which was delicious and very reasonably priced. Thank you.

Just had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Staff can’t do enough to help you. Spotlessly clean and yummy breakfast

Had a wonderful surprise birthday lunch at the Stork today arranged by my lovely better half and 6 of my friends, great food, great cheerful service , thank you

Brilliant place to visit or stay ,great food served by great staff..go on..go for it.

Lovely pub. Food lovely. Only down side the steak ciabatta was a bit fatty. Lovely place.

Good food, good beer, good ambience and excellent staff. They've spent a lot recovering from the fire and it shows. We'll be back.

Been here twice for a drink & meal, very nice food & friendly staff 👌

Great country pub with excellent food and rooms.

Been here before for drinks and snacks so first time having a proper meal.. Food was stunning, really pleasant atmosphere and can’t recommend it enough, A main course is all you need. Highly recommend the Chicken and Pancetta pie, it was loaded and cheese sauce was full of flavour, I’m so excited to return for my next meal

We stayed here with our 5 month old twins over new years whilst attending a wedding - they could not have been more accomodating. The staff were all wonderful, and bent over backwards to help us out wherever they could. Included breakfast was superb, and my mum ate from the bar and was very complimentary. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend to anyone.

Been here many times and usually very good. This visit there was quite a long wait on food but it was very busy with customers so understandable. Lovely staff. Fish and chips very good. Caesar salad was a bit lacking but everything else was nice.

Just what you need after long walk great food and drinks staff friendly and helpful and dog friendly too reasonably priced

Always good to find such a welcoming pub open for lunch on a Monday. Extensive menu with fast, efficient service of quality fare. The quick walk back to Lancaster is about 5 miles along the coastal, disused railway track which is now a cycle / bridal way.

Had a great Sunday dinner, Pleasant Staff, Service was great, Nice Atmosphere..

Went here for my birthday a few weeks ago with family. Lovely setting, very helpful and attentive staff. Only knocked a star off because quite a lot of the menu wasn't to my taste but could equally be someone else's. Definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful environment food was also lovely great value

A delightful, impromptu Sunday lunch. The staff are warm, friendly, and attentive. The festive trio Sunday lunch was lovely, with generous portions and swift service. £30pp including starters and drinks. Thoughtful touches included playing cards, games for kids, and amenities for dog owners, such as a large dog bed by the fire. We’d be happy to return!

Nice location cute country theme, lovely staff, food was fantastic and very responable prices.

Sunday Lunch for X3. Roast beef, roast turkey, and fish and chips. All excellent. Good service, friendly, no rush and good atmosphere. Will be back.

Was a little concerned when they couldn't find our online booking but luckily there were spare tables available. So glad they managed to fit us in as we had an amazing meal, have to say the portions looked a bit small for my appetite but I was more than satisfied with the delicious dish presented, so much so that we could only manage 1 sweet between the 2 of us! Lovely staff and a nice friendly atmosphere. Next time we are down that way we intend to stay at the stork and try out their letting rooms. Highly recommended all round

Great little find. Lovely staff, great food good portions. Spacious clean room. Could well be back if passing this way again.

A classic old fashioned pub with excellent service, good food & decent beer! Been again today 06.11.24 and once again service was excellent and the food great!

Looking for a lunch spot on south side of Lancaster and we chose this (route from A6 in Galgate is a bit hairy). Nice food, choice of non alcoholic beers and very pleasant surroundings.

Nice place. Staff were excellent. Table service was a nice change and very good. Had the triple Sunday roast. Nice, beef a little on the chewy side but pork and turkey were very nice. All veg was very good and had a side of cauliflower cheese which was also very nice. I'd recommend it and will try another day soon.

Went as an end of season party from our caravan park,

Popped in for fish goujon butties and a pint, was great! Really enjoyable Would be 5/5 but for the coffee which wasn't very good.

I wouldn't rush back. The staff were lovely and attentive and the place is much better than it's former days. But the food... :/ everything was over cooked. If it was fried, it was within the inch of its life. The scallops were rubbery. Fish was definitely no longer swimming. And the fish and chips had a batter so thick you'd do some damage. Mash like glue... So, yeh not impressed with the food.

Really nice Sunday dinner at the Stork. Was absolutely fantastic, most had roast dinner (beef, turkey or Lamb shank) and everyone had good reviews. Free extra gravy and Yorkshire puddings were a bonus! We all had desserts and sticky toffee pudding was fantastic - really good food all around. Atmosphere could have been slightly better (however we came mid Sunday afternoon), looked like lots of tables were reserved for later on. However the pub is a nice space to eat and lots of space - not cramped at all. Our “what could be better” was the coffee at the end of the meal - was quite weak. We can’t wait to come back - thanks for a great meal.

I had a lovely stay at The Stork this week. Great food, friendly team, welcoming atmosphere and beautiful, comfortable hotel room. The pub is in a super location for exploring the local area. I would recommend and I will definitely be visiting again.

Lovely visit to the Stork. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Great food and great service. Highly recommend

Brilliant Sunday dinner, excellent service, and I will certainly be going again.

Stayed for one night ,not the best place we have stayed, neither the worst, had issues with no mobile coverage and no WIFI, we were refunded our evening meal costs for the inconvenience.

Excellent pub. Busy, great atmosphere, good selection of wines and beers. Excellent service.

Really nice place, the staf is friendly and comprehensive The beds are amazing Dogs friendly

Lovely meal. We had a family meal for four. We All had different dishes and we all enjoyed our food, super helpful and friendly staff. Nice relaxed atmosphere and Great service. We will definitely visit again.

The food was amazing here we had fish and chips and it was cooked to perfection the tata sauce was home made and was very tasty the staff we very welcoming and very friendly amazing place to visit

Recommend by a friend. So we tried Sunday lunch. Amazing food. Great service. Excellent value for money. Not one complaint. 5*++ you can always tell how good an establishment is by the cleanliness of the toilets. They were spotless. Perfect Sunday lunch. Thank you.

A lovely country pub to spend the night. Rooms are tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. We had a wholesome home cooked supper in the restaurant, the staff were attentive and friendly. Breakfast the following morning was good, and set us up for the day. We had an unforeseeable problem with the bathroom radiator, the management dealt with our concerns and came to a good resolution. We would definitely recommend staying, and eating here.

Just stopped for a drink always friendly staff great atmosphere

I'm a bit disappointed with the meal, lasagne lacked taste , Gammon small and watery, egg white not cooked ... The place looks cosy from the outside, but no atmosphere inside , staff were excellent and very pleasant .shame the inside doesn't reflect the outside of this beautiful building, I think after the fire the homeliness went

Can get noisy and a bit crowded when busy

It was the first time we visited here the staff where really lovely and a friendly atmosphere came here after taking the dog for a walk, The meal was was well presented and the quality was exquisite, even ordered a meal for the dog, we have even booked our meal for Chrstmas Day highly recommend it Mike Chris and Willow.

Really nice Sunday dinner n a warm welcome n dog friendly

Lovely pub with good food at a reasonable price.

Nice little really old pub lovely staff.

Quite nice hotel. Our room was very spacious and nice. Friendly staff and a nice pub part. Nice selection of ales. But the most let down was the food and the breakfast. Had high hopes for this place, but was a bit disappointed by it all. But can recommend this place anyways.

The food was to die for. The staff were super friendly. There was a great selection of decent beers. The biggest bonus is that it is dog friendly!

Absolutely fantastic. Stayed over for 4 nights with work commitments, but will definitely be coming back for leisure at the end of the year. The staff are so polite and helpful. The rooms are immaculately clean and comfortable, and the food is just the best. I can't recommend enough!
