The best restaurants serving British food in West Lancashire North West

Came across this place in our campervan. They allow overnight parking if you use the pub. They also allow well behaved dogs inside. It's obviously a work in progress at the moment (October 2024), but you see what they are aiming for with renovations to the adjoining building. Very friendly staff, and some good wines available. Some locals in the bar could do with moderating their language but otherwise a positive experience. Food was okay but not special. Very attentive staff. Nice location by the canal with picturesque walks. A great stop over between Southport or Liverpool areas on the way back to the M6. Parking is free if you use the pub otherwise it's quite expensive.

This place never fails. The food was perfect as always and the staff were lovely and very attentive. You won’t be disappointed!

Went to a family party here. Service was very good and staff polite

The food was lovely,good service and atmosphere the only negative was I was sat next to the window by a radiator...it was filthy! and old tissues stuffed down it...really could do with a clean please.

we called for lunch today at our favourite restaurant and was served by our favourite waitress june who is always very nice and efficient i had the steak sampler a selection of different steaks and it was delicious this is a very nice restaurant with very nice staff and i cant wait to return best for steaks

We called in the 12 month ago it was excellent 5 star .called again in October 2024 gone to mines 5 star the food was very very poor the carrots were cold the chips were black the pie was all soggy and gravy all over il .the presentation on the plate rubbish. The wife had fish and chips. I think they forgot to put the fish in the battor. Of restaurant list completely

Visited to celebrate a family birthday, which was absolutely perfect. Staff all super friendly. Great choice and great price. Recommended.

Disappointed by the main waiter here who is incredibly rude and ruined our experience. Absolutely no customer service skills at all.

Had a terrific lunch here, a really memorable experience. It was a beautiful sunny day, we sat at the rear of the cafe, outside, looking across the lovely, well kept marina and all the boats. The tables were spotless, the food was faultless and what really stood out was the quality of each and every one of the staff/servers that we interacted with. So pleasant and polite, very professional and efficient too. They really elevated our experience to the next level and should be applauded for it. We will definitely return.

Top bar with a great atmosphere, range of beers and gins etc., the food is good, reasonably priced with choices of sharing or large portions, always hot and fresh, prepared upstairs in small kitchen. Can get a little crowded has it's not that big, but that contributes to the atmosphere and quaintness of the interior.

We can honestly say the sandwiches were by far the worst we have ever had! It was a cold wet day and the egg sandwiches were so cold that the lettuce was frozen in the middle. I took them back to the counter and was offered an exchange. The tuna and sweetcorn sandwiches were so soggy they had almost disintegrated. I don't understand why they couldn't make them fresh to order - there seemed to be enough staff standing around! Never again!

Great local pub always drink in here made some great friends and food is always delicious I love the Guinness best pub in burscough

The girls there very friendly, very helpful & good service really respectful

Our first visit here after many years, and was delighted to see, that although it has been refurbished, it still retains its traditional charm. Sunday lunch was excellent, my sticky chicken starter was one of the best I have had for a long time. We shall not leave it as long before we return again.

Served by Jacqueline. Lovely jolly personality and great server! Very knowledgable and asset to the team at the sandpiper. Having visited here often and working for the company (in other brands) it is so lovely to see a team member who throughly loves their job and it great at what they do! Please acknowledge this to Jacqueline. Thank you again
