The staff were super friendly upon arrival and sat us down immediately on a lovely window table even without a reservation (I advise booking if you want to visit as it becomes busy quick on the weekends I believe)
The menu was brilliant, so much variety and hunger building items and well described and very competitively priced. I opted for a dish from the special menu (because I'm special, my mum says so anyway 😂) which was the braised beef, mash and seasonal vegetables.
It arrived quickly and I honestly wasn't blown away by the beef as it was just a very large and thick piece of steak..........until I 'cut' into it.....oh my god, I could have cut it with a balloon it was that tender - it was as though it had been cooking for 24hrs and it certainly tasted like it, wow wow wow. Best beef dish I've ever had and probably one of the best meals I've ever had. It just was just superb. Only regret was that I didn't order 2 of everything!
We then went and sat in the beer garden which was still chilled out even with a lot of kids because it was so massive with its own football pitch and adventure items for them to play on.
I cannot rate this place high enough and my only regret is that I don't live next door.
Can't wait to go back
Stopped in on route back from Garstang.
David the Manager looked after us. Great service and food was lovely. A real treat!
Hubby enjoyed the range of ales on offer.
I had the Guinea Fowl which was stunning, hubby had the steak pie.
Thank you so much we will be back ASAP to sample some more of the menu.

Breakfast was OK, one nice staff member, no proper coffee, just frieze dried sachets.
It is a chef and brewer pub so the menu is similar to others in the chain.
The menu has plenty of choice, including vege options and all the food that we have had over several visits has been good pub grub, with better than good presentation.
The fried garlic prawns were very nice, to be honest the portion size was a bit disappointing but they were firm and tasty.
Garlic mushrooms on ciabatta was a good portion and a good flavour, certainly recommend for fans of the fungi.
The daily soup varies, but always a vege and vegan (no butter) option. The spiced vegetable soup was good, a bit like a thin curry.
The steak on ciabatta sandwich was very good, from the lunch menu but a good portion, cooked medium.
The battered halloumi is a great take on no-meat fish and chips, very tasty, good portion size, too much really : )
The gammon was excellent, not salty as it can be in places, a good size cut and the rum and cola glaze was actually sensational, very pleasant and moreish.
Desserts are the usual pub pre-portioned affair but nothing wrong with them at all, we tried two sundaes, both good and the indulgent sharer on another visit which was good and surprisingly filling too.
No complaints, would recommend any of the dishes we had (more prawns please) and we will certainly go back again.
Staff are all friendly and their covid measures are also commendable.
One of our pre-covid regulars for Sunday lunch and will be again.
Extensive beer garden and plenty of parking. Dog friendly : )
