The Venue in Wyre

On Wednesday 3/4/25 it was our Diamond Wedding Anniversary, we and 15 other family members had a celebration meal at The Venue,Cleveleys. The service and food was excellent,the staff really looked after our Great Granddaughters and all of our guests making it a real night to remember.can’t praise The Venue enough Barbara and Graham Maxwell

A really good location to eat and enjoy celebrations

A nice place and we've been there quite a few times over the years. Staff were perfectly good at their job. They just didn't seem very happy,(maybe under staffed?) The food was nice but pricier than I thought it would have been. Maybe we just felt a bit out of it as we were with relatives in the dogs area so the atmosphere was a bit lacking and it was very quiet. Still worth a visit. Great cheese and onion pie.

So today me and my friend went here for food. We ordered a couple of drinks which were put on our tab. We then ordered food and the guy at the ordering counter ( not the bar) said to us, "we will leave the tab open for you" we said thanks. After our food we then decided to order another drink at the bar and sit outside. My friend said " we will pay at the counter before we go out". We walked a few feet away from the bar and one of the young girls screamed at us " you haven't paid" in front of everyone!! Me and my friend were so taken a back. So we said to the girls " we was paying at the counter like we was told" she then proceeded to talk over us and said to us, " you should not go outside without paying"! My friend told her that there was no need to be rude to which she replied, " it's not my fault if you're embarrassed" me and my friend was mortified and I told the young girl that I should be speaking to the manger for her poor customer service. She thought this was highly amusing and just said " I'll go and get him". She came out with the manager sniggering and he come to the bar still chewing food. I asked him to come away from the bar so we could talk. Basically he seemed dis interested and did not care that me and my friend had been made to feel like we was going to run out of the building with two small bottles of Prosecco!!! I'm appalled and disappointed in the lack of Customer support and also the fact that if the young girl thought we should have paid at the bar then she should have spoke to us privately and in a way you speak to Normal human beings. Will not be returning and I will be taking it further.

Went for a meal last night great choice on the menu we all had a different meal and starter for 22 pound mushrooms for 3 crochet potatoes for 1 main 1 pork steak 1 steak and ale pie 1 gammon 1 burger absolutely beautiful and all the staff were excellent and friendly highly recommend the venue we will be back soon

Great food and great service. Beautifully decorated and the views are amazing on Cleveleys promenade. Reasonably priced and would highly recommend. If you would prefer a window table I would advise booking in advance.

Lovely meal service was excellent staff very efficient

Went to a party here was a great night good food was served and a great atmosphere

Vegetarian lunch, dog friendly and friendly staff

Cheap and cheerful had to pay £2 for a dog sausage. Mocha was more of a hot chocolate and not very hot.

A last minute need to find somewhere for tea in the area led us by chance to The Venue and what a great find. A good sized off road free car park. A nice lively and family friendly restaurant, with lovely service by Katie. The food (fish n chips) was excellent, good sized portions and great value too. However if you order a pot of tea to share the teapots are just big enough for two, and they’re not great pourers either, but good ones are always tricky to find. However the best thing about this restaurant is the sea views! If you can try to book in advance and ask for a table by the windows! Cheers.

Had a wonderful time here with my wife and 2 children (age 7 & 9). The service was perfect throughout, the beer selection was excellent and the bar looked very well stocked generally. The food was to die for! The kids absolutely loved their spag bol and pizza - best ever apparently. My wife loved her koftas, and my massaman lamb was absolutely sensational. Very satisfying all round, would recommend and will be back again.

Best place for good quality pub food great views and friendly staff in Cleveleys hands down. Can't recommend enough

Had roast beef dinner, just 2 small roast potatoes (not fresh ) and they make crispy Yorkshire puddings and then pour gravy on top making them soggy

Food and service always first rate.

Favourite place after a walk on the beach !

We went for a meal on Wednesday for a meal and a drink. The staff were friendly and can't do enough for you. Thank you so much for a lovely night.

A local place. Good for tourists. Can't fault it.

Another great experience at The Venue. Once again 1st class service and food. Highly recommended

We went for the second year running for NYE. Absolutely brilliant again, the food and service is simply “class.” Freddie Mercury brilliant. You need to book if you haven’t tried it

atmosphere friendly and welcoming, great menu loads of choice at reasonable prices, service was spot on and food was great ,piping hot xx can't really fault it xx special mention for the lady that served us she was a breath of fresh air

Boxing day, late lunch. Service was super. Food was good

So we have been having Christmas dinner here for a good few years, and it has only got better every time my only criticism is that the salad was a little wilted and not up to its usual high standard additionally the music was loud however this is probably due more to our table placement than down to the venue itself so overall very good service good food and a good way to spend your Christmas day well done venue!

Went here today on a works Christmas do. Although the food and waiter/waitress service was excellent, the place was so cold that we had to ask to move to another table (and it wasn't much warmer even at the new table to be honest). The venue was not at all Christmassy either. Just one solitary Christmas tree and a few crackers on the table and that was it. What really spoiled it though was the fact that an attempt was made to overcharge us (they had completely ignored the "two for £x" offer) and although the manager did knock this off before we paid, he made no apology, nor offered any explanation as to why the overcharge attempt had occurred and was pretty darned brusque about it. Maybe that explains why the place was so quiet? I won't be going back again.

Visit to Blackpool and a lunch treat from our friends Andy and Sarah, who live in Cleaveleys and eat here often. We absolutely loved it! Really nice layout comfy, chairs, great atmosphere. The food was very good and the staff were so friendly and helpful, especially the slim blonde lady. Very smart and clean toilets too and extra bonus dog friendly with a dog menu! Pearl had chicken breast and veg. Can't wait to be in Blackpool next year to re-visit 👌👏😀 Diana and Steve Stone Staffordshire

Great dog friendly pub right on the prom. Nice food big portions and a dog menu. Sausages every time for the dogs.

Went to an Abba tribute nite for our Xmas do. The food was lukewarm and very basic. They were aware, in plenty of time, I was allergic to onions but still gave me a starter with chutney with onions until I pointed it out. I had roast beef with no gravy, which is the norm with an onion allergy. The beef was awful. Not even offered horseradish. Very disappointed as I invited a lot of people from the Lake District and the food and service was a big disappointment

Visited today (first & last time). The food was less than adequate. Ordered fish & chips. The fish was cremated and utterly tasteless, the triple-cooked chips tasted like they had been cooked a hell of a lot more than that and the mushy peas were bland! Needless to say, a lot of the meal was left on the plate! Think the ‘chef’ needs to go back into training or, at least, should learn how to follow a recipe!!! Total disaster and a complete waste of money. Definitely WOULD NOT recommend 👎🏻

Good food and service. Very dog friendly. They have their own menu! Recommended.

We both had fish & chips with mushy peas. Our meals arrived, the batter was burnt (almost black) and the fish was tasteless also the chips were hard. At £16.95 per meal it is a disgrace. We would expect a far better meal for the price we payed.

Went for a christmas lunch. No cutlery or serviettes on the table. Some christmas crackers were handed out as an after thought. Slow service. Limited menu. Starter was cheese croquettes - tasted no cheese + sauce dip was awful. Main was Turkey roast. Sloppy stuffing. Basic veg + mash. Very uninspiring. Staff disappeared when it was time to pay. Passed on the 3rd course therefore my bill was changed to a 2-course. Coffee not included in price. Wont be returning or recommending to other locals. Overall very disappointing + not festive at all

Attended a party night last night no party atmosphere Food wasn’t what it said on the menu and very bland no taste to some of the dishes Some of our party had to sit with Coats on as they had the kitchen door open Tried talking to Managment who was very rude with us Band were good but wasn’t party get up and dance songs won’t go back And we payed £40 but they left non party payers in to watch band not right !

My wife and I took our daughter and our grandchildren and spouse's in total a party of 12 the service was brilliant as was the food would highly recommend wouldn't hesitate to go back

Went with my work for our Christmas party last night and all had a good time. Good choice of food and definitely the best quality food we've had on a Christmas night out ever. Attentive, friendly staff who provided a quick and accurate service. Good atmosphere - busy and lively enough, but not so loud that you couldn't have a conversation... Until the live music started, which on this occasion were local covers band 'The Jeps' and to be fair they were very good.

It's good to have a nice meal and take the dog. There's a doggy menu also in the allocated room and plenty of water bowls available.

Beautiful Sunday roast 😋 the whole family enjoyed the food. Staff were very friendly & smiling. Great experience. We shall be back

My partners food was cold, it was sent away to be microwaved a second time. My food was soggy and bland. Not a single thing was made fresh as it came to our table in under 10 minutes and considering we ordered a lot of meat and veg, I don’t think this is possible. The atmosphere was similar to a run down cafe in the middle of town centre. A pint of larger and a coke £5 each. Our food and drinks came to a total of £43. Far too expensive for microwaved food that arrived both soggy and cold.

Nice place, food good and hot .Always go with family and friends

Really friendly place to take our dog and manager was very helpful 👍

Great place by the sea with excellent food and staff.

Went for a birthday party here a few weeks ago. It was a cute little venue perfect for a party. However the bouncer on the door was very strange and stroked my arm when I said I was cold. Overall she made me uncomfortable. Drinks were very expensive but this was kind of expected.

Always enjoy the food though potions did seem smaller this time.

Lovely place to eat excellent sea views,great menu choices

Nice place, good food, stinks of Dogs, and I will not be going again

Brilliant restaurant right on our doorstep. We have eaten here many times and feel that it deserves our praise. The menu gives great choices every time and the staff are professional and friendly. My wife chose the seabass fillets last night which were absolutely delicious. She said that they were far superior than the seabass we had in Tiggis in St Annes last weekend. I had the chilli which was equally good.

As always excellant, wirfe has dietery problems, they coped magnificently many, manly thanks.

Great indoor Area for taking the dog to and the food is great

Disappointed in the meals we had for what you pay, and the two soft drinks were £7.25 which I believe is expensive. Shame not as good as it once was. Got same meals as last time but less of it, don't know whether we'd go back.

I had the Turkey Sunday lunch very disappointed as the roast potatoes and other veg were way overdone and not fresh very disappointed.

An extremely large but cozy areas. Atmosphere great. People who run the business good and safety consultants,o . Friendlycouple

£5.95 for a pint of lager, even more for a pint of cider and don't get me onto the price of soft drinks. A total rip off!! Shame on you.

We had lunch all four of our meals were excellent quality and all different items, the whole experience was really pleasant from being greeted when we arrived and being served by the friendly staff.

WE HAVE BEEN TO THE VENUE FOR 3 DAYS OUT OF OUR WEEKS HOLIDAY. THE FOOD IS GREAT, AND THE STAFF BRILLIANT. WE ARE REGULAR TRAVELLERS, AND EAT OUT IN RESTAURANTS ALL THE TIME. WE HAVE TO SAY, THIS IS BY FAR, ONE OF THE BEST PLACES WE HAVE EVER BEEN TO. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO RECOMMEND THE VENUE, TO ANYONE. LONG MAY IT CONTINUE. OTHER RESTAURANTS SHOULD TAKE NOTE, OF THIS VERY ORGANISED ESTABLISHMENT. NO LESS THAN 5 STARS FOR BRILLIANT VENUE.

Our favourite place to dine. Service is always fantastic, speed of food arriving is generally very quick, and the food is always excellent. Nice choice of drinks at the bar too.

We regularly visit and drink cafe lattes when we get together with friends for Sunday morning coffees. The varied menu suits all tastes. The views of the Irish Sea are splendid. We often see the Isle of Man boat ' The Manxman' on the horizon and watch as it sails into Morecambe Bay.

It was very busy today, but the staff were amazing, very efficient and friendly.

We decided to bring a friend to have Sunday lunch here as he was over on holiday (plus we hadn't been here for a while). The greeting on arrival was very courteous and we were promptly shown to our table. Given ample time to peruse the menu, our drinks were then brought to the table by another member of staff who afforded us the same level of courtesy. Our order was taken and I have to say that the Sunday lunches were absolutely fantastic: very, very tasty (and the roast potatoes were fabulous, just like my mother-in-law used to make). We chose the bigger portions which I managed but unfortunately it left me with no room for a dessert. That's next on the agenda so we will be back. Every single person there is a credit to this establishment.

Great food, Friendly helpful stay. Highly recommended

What a lovely little hidden gem this place is delicious food reasonable prices and just on the beach from wonderful on a sunny day.

The ambiance is serene and conducive to relaxation. I visited the establishment for a cup of coffee, which was expertly crafted and delicious. The only potential area for improvement lies in the pricing, which may be considered slightly elevated. However, the overall experience, coupled with the exceptional atmosphere, justifies the cost.

Love the place good food friendly staff very clean

This is my go to place when I’m in Cleveleys. We have had many birthday celebrations at the Venue and also my mother’s funeral afternoon lunch. I have been twice this weekend, once with my son and again on my own. The food is first class and so is the service. I will continue to be a regular visitor. Thank you to all the staff and managers.

Lovely place and staff were amazing, they have a dining area for people with dogs

Spirit nightclub Celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary here last weekend. Management/Staff were brilliant - food, music all excellent. Great venue for a party.

We weren't expecting much as it didn't look all that from the outside. When we got inside, it was a lot bigger than we expected. And again didn't look anything fancy. This all changed once we were seen by the waiters on the waitresses who were very accommodating, very professional and efficient.. Then the food arrived. I'm definitely going there again and if anybody asks me. I might not tell them because it feels upso quickly. We might not be able to get a table next time.

Absolutely beautiful food and service

Lovely meal, great service, pleasant staff, only one thing was having to pay for a colouring set for my great granddaughter, bit naughty.

Dog freindly very helpful staff

Being a coeliac it's good to feel comfortable with food that is served to me.

Not bad, improving alot. Good service, good food. Need to look at their prices, little expensive, beer dearer than expected.

First time here. Friendly staff. Good menu. Sea bass was very good. All other meals the same. Good choice of beers and punctual service.

Called in for the beer festival. Made a day of it. Good selection of beers. Good food and the entertainment in the evening was spot on.

Amazing a la carte food. Not what you'd expect from the dated exterior. So it was an extremely pleasant surprise to find exquisite food. Highly recommend the halloumi fries and sea bass.

The family and I visited on Saturday and we had the most amazing meal. The venue isn’t the cheapest however it makes up for it in quality and service. I hqad the steak pie which I can honestly say had to have been the most amazing pie I’ve ever tasted. The staff were so polite (thank you Leigh and Jen) our experience was just lovely and we will most definitely be back again.

I'm no connection with the review below however, as a local who doesn't usually go in The Venue as it's not the cheapest in the area, we went in midweek with friends and encountered the said member of staff who wasn't exactly polite. 19/07. Had I been in on my own I'd have turned tail after passing a few comments myself.

Lovely food just a little pricey though Staff lovely apart from young girl with long blonde hair, quite an attitude I’m sorry to say

Cool place food very good I had mixed grill which was very good and the steak was amazing nice flame grilled flavour been before had lamb massaman and that was also amazing won't be disappointed with this place

The food was lovely,the only downside the dish I had could have been bigger, but on the whole it was lovely

Our lunch was amazing. Excellent quality and very fresh. Service with a genuine smile. Even our four legged companion was catered for with her own menu. Highly recommended. Will go again next time we visit our friends

We really enjoyed! food was lovely and great service. Our waitress was so friendly. Gluten free options were AMAZING and supper yummy. lovely beach view too

Lovely. Will be more than happy to come back here again

This glorious dog friendly Venue which has always served us hot, tasty, food, has let us down today. Really relished the prospect of a £10 lunch club with a nicely varied menu. Unfortunately our food took over 25 minutes to arrive and was mostly cold. As my diabetic husband had already taken his medication in anticipation of food, we could not have complained and awaited replacement meals. Hopefully this is not the new normal.

Just on the off chance went for Tea/Dinner at the Venue. Partner has to be careful as he is Coeliac so we have to be vigilant. There was quite a lot of choice for him and I had the small Turkey/stuffing/potatoes/veg etc., The food was spot on, lovely staff, dog friendly. Will be going again soon. Thank you Venue!

Lamb £20 served with a selection of potato's mash not much in the way of a selection .. served with yorkshire pudding ???missing must have been with the other potato's!! Lamb microwaved as hot middle and warm outside certainly not fresh boiled veg crinckled cornered carrots. When informed of above .. OH il let them Know thats £60 pounds please poor very poor paid as rest of food was fine

Lovely place. Helpful friendly staff. Dog friendly eating area and even a menu for them. Will go again.

Attended for Father's day, didn't book, but was seated immediately, service excellent, choice on the menu brilliant, if indisicive you might be a while because everything sounds so very good. We ordered the steak and ale pie, Massaman Lamb curry, and kids smash burger, my partners steak and ale pie was absolutely amazing, perfectly slow cooked meat in nice ale gravy, double dipped chips, side of gravy and braised veg, she was very happy, it's one of the Venues best dishes. Because it is Father's day, I wanted to try something different, opted for Massaman Lamb curry, with garlic naan bread, honestly was stunned meat was perfectly cooked on the bone falling apart, while in the past I've had Massaman currys that have a creamier sauce and are focused on coconut, this one was more like a Lamb Jalfrezi with potatoes, however, it did not disapoint, good balance of spice, and absolutely plenty on my dish, see images, the garlic naan was very nice with slight mint, garlic and char taste. I have not been in The Venue for good while, some other reviews saying its hit and miss, it was definitely a hit today especially considering its Father's day and its very busy, keep up the good work, and pride in the food and service. My only negative would be on the drinks, very expensive, £6.00 for a bottle of Old Mout, £4.90 a pint of Wainwright, Half a Lemonade £2.85 ( refuse to tip when the prices are inflated ) Was tempted to remove a star for this, but it's Father's day, and they did so well on everything else.

I went along with a group of friends. Others enjoyed their meal, but I had chosen the 'fritto misto'. The fish on the meal was nice enough, but I couldn't eat the salad underneath it as it was absolutely swamped in dressing. Literally swimming in it. It spoiled the meal for me.

The food was lovely and coffee first class. The £10 lunch was excellent value.

we took a friend there and they enjoyed the food and commented that the service was good

Fantastic Sunday dinner well worth going

Food is a bit hit or miss. I have had some beautiful food here and I've had some average food here. I'll still go back though as its a great pub in a great location. Gave it an extra point point for food as I love that they have a dog menu!

This place has been refurbished to a good standard. Just called for a drink but will return for food. Beautiful view on the promenade of cleveleys. Dog friendly also. Menu has been added and looks 👌

Have used The Venue twice now for Wales Good value for money food and great service. Perfect for the occasion.

I’ve been to the venue a few times now .food always excellent,staff great lovely atmosphere,I’ll be back soon

Great food great experience friendly staff

We held a wake for my mum on 1st May in the upstairs function room. Food was fantastic, staff very helpful and view from the window out to sea fantastic.

Just had another gorgeous meal here, the pate is amazing. Staff are always friendly. A lovely relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend x

Accommodating for our larger group, Food all came out together with no issues. Friendly staff.

Highly recommended the venue. Food is excellent and staff are very friendly

Great place to visit, staff are excellent, very dog friendly treats at the brand doggy menu, food was great plenty to choose from and service great.good selection of drinks at the bar.
