Best breakfast we had during our Blackpool stay. I had the big boy and my wife regular. All cooked well. Staff friendly

After spending £30 on lunch and coffees we asked at the til if they would mind if we joined a call for 30 minutes while we drank our after lunch coffees having giving up our table on the terrace for a couple with dogs at their request. Having kindly obliged their request to give up our table they said it was absolutely fine. We were then made to feel so unwelcome. Two tables next to us just had coffees yet we were the only people asked twice (during an important call) if we wanted anything else and one of our coffee cups swiftly taken away before we finished. These were clearly attempts to move us. The first was only 9 minutes into our call without one of our coffees even being delivered. The manager then came over and informed us (again during the 30min call) that if we weren’t ordering more food we would have to leave as they were too busy and it isn’t a meeting space. The same was not requested of the tables either side of us. There was also a table two down from us that was empty. Really poor customer service turned our lovely lunch into a hostile encounter. It felt like a point was trying to be made as I’m not sure what we’d done to deserve this badgering. We will not be returning and are really disappointed in the lack of regard when we had spent a lot of money there. We were there 2 hours in total but clearly an unacceptable amount of time in their opinion having ordering two lunches, four coffees and a cake. A real shame.

A meal priced at £18+ worse than a Wetherspoons. Clearly end of service bodge job with both meals. When I asked the member of staff dealing with the issue if either meal would have looked the same if served at 5pm instead of post 7pm she said no. Full refund for food. Charged for drinks. When I left the table to return the empty glasses to the bar, it was blocked by a staff member who was clearly annoyed at us when we laid up and returned the glasses on the other side of the bar. Too late to get a meal somewhere else. Such a shame. I’ve been eating there for over 8 years

The Saddle has been my local for over 14 years. The staff have always been friendly,helpful and professional. Today a situation occurred with myself and another customer who was very drunk. John( manager) stepped in and resolved the situation quickly, professionally and with no fuss. Top class manager. Thanks John. Brian

This used to be a good bar but is now just a high priced dog compound. 9 dogs in this very small bar. Wouldn't order food given the smell of dogs and lack of washing of hands by bar staff after feeding treats to the dog. Don't bother, there are better alternatives in Formby.

What was once a friendly, familiar place for hoards of locals has become a soulless, impersonal experience. Several popular staff have been moved out. New ones are pleasant, but poorly trained and management is now poor, with staff often running round aimlessly with little engagement with customers. Two recent delivery orders were missing items that had been paid for. You can’t telephone the branch. Stock control is also inconsistent which is particularly annoying for regular customers who have preferences. On one occasion recently the business owner stormed into the shop, in front of many customers and shouted angrily at staff. I was utterly appalled by this unnecessary behaviour. I visited today. Normally, you would struggle to find a table over the weekend. Unsurprisingly, at midday, it was virtually deserted. As a loyal, regular and longstanding devotee, I really hope those responsible do something or the future of this branch looks bleak to me.

We should have read the reviews!! £6.20 for a poor pint, sold elsewhere for considerably less, so please don't blame the notion of being a Free House who by definition can buy and sell different beers! We didn't spot a price list displayed upstairs so were aghast at four pints of Green King IPA at a fraction off £25. Not only should we have read the reviews but also asked more when locals in conversation earlier in the day raised their eyebrows when we said where we were going that evening.......want to be exploited.....pop in for a beer.

Visited with friends on ourannual trip to St Annes. Plan was to have lunch and then have a look round the garden dept and buy a few autumn plants. Mosy outside seats were taken but several available inside. We chose the one that seemed cleanest, (can you see where I am going with this), ie, the one with only a few crumbs. We chose two small scampi and chips, an egg mayo sandwich and a 'wrap', all with garnish and/or chips. Nothing too challenging about that lot. We were told that there would be a wait of 25 minutes. This at around 1:00 pm. We waited. And we waited. We had a bit of verbal catching-up to do with our friends so it did not matter. Or at least not too much. After abot 50 minutes I went to ask about our order but could see that in the kitchen area our order was being plated- up. Drinks that had a rrived maybe4 40 minutes earlier had been long since consumed. After maybe another 5 minutes they were served to us. The lady asked who had ordered what, we told her and our respective orfers were placed in front of us. No mention of an apology or the wait or even 'enjoy your food'. Not even so much as a smile. In fact I have to say that the lady looked thoroughly p..... -off, as indeed were we. Now to the food. Our scampi's were sort of ok as were the chips. The wraps were so so. My wifes egg mayo butty lacked content. Miniscule ammount of egg was made-up by maybe too much mayo, but only in the sense of this being as a proportion of the whole. By this time there were few diners left. We opted not to have a sweet as godness knows how long we would have had to wait for this. A couple of points. 1. We were fairly certain that customers who had ordered much later than us were served much earlier. 2. There seemed to me to be to be an absence of working- to- a -common- purpose amongst the counter staff. (I used to be in staff supervision and management, though not in the catering industry I have to say). Not a good experince, and importantly, one we will not be repeating. By this point, time was moving on and wewanted to be enjoying the sea air, so no time to look round the garden section. We later had coffes and do-nuts at the pier cafe in St Annes. Pleasant and prompt service and possibly the best do-nuts I have ever had, a thoroughly pleasing experience. When I read past reviews, I notice a pretty common thread running through them. I also note that in no case have the management made a response. They certainly seem not to take any of them on board

Queues for ages. 2 speeds, slow and stop. Spend my life queuing in this place for drinks. Loads of staff stood about playing with their hair so not very hygienic. The place needs re modelling with a separate counter for ice creams to speed up the service. The food is limited, pre prepared and cheese with everything it seems.
