Came here at the end of our walk. It's a very convenient place for a pint as it is right next to the railway station where we get the train home. I have eaten here a few times on previous occasions and always got the 3 course daytime special they do for under £12 which is excellent value for money. They also have a reasonable range of beers.

Called in after a walk through formby pinewoods, picked our own table food was very mediocre nothing that makes us want to go back, service was awful, bar staff couldn't place order correctly, the starter knife had an old piece of cabbage on it that had been clearly through the dishwasher so at least it was clean cabbage but still... urghh!!! & the waitress couldn't crack a smile, no check backs on the food even when taking the starter plates away no 'how was everything ' nothing!! No conversation whatsoever, she could do with a training course in hospitality, put our main plates down with one word 'enjoy' sounded more like an order or else!! Again took plates away with not a question of was everything ok no service with a smile quite disappointed

Lovely pub,lovely staff,cozy fires and nice food. The pub is always welcoming. Sometimes have offers on and they have a loyalty app if you are a regular and can earn points which is a great idea. Food is nice,we have tried plenty of the dishes always hot fresh and tasty. Last time we went the young lady called Nic was our server and she was very chatty and took away plates once we had finished. You can reserve tables but we have always managed to get one. They have two open fires which are on in colder days,very cosy sitting by them. Right by the train station so very easy to get to. A lovely pub would highly recommend

When we attended the above establishment, we were greeted by a barman who asked "Have you got a booking?" After replying "Yes!" and showing the booking confirmation email, the reply was "No you're not on here!" We replied "We have booked though!" The rude and curt reply was "Fine! I'll have to try and find you a table then!" After asking if we may have some drinks whilst we wait, The rude employee replied "Yes in a miniute, but I need to find you that table first!" After quite a wait, we were shown to a table that was situated in complete darkness and pushed up against a wall (clearly an extra table shoved in to allow for more diners with no thought for their experience)." We rightfully expressed dissatisfaction with the situation of the table and were greeted with "Hang on then, but I don't think there's anything else!" After a second wait of some minutes, another employee returned with "Number 37 is free but is as dark as here, so isn't really any better than here!" Fed up with being treated like an inconvenience when we had made a booking, we decided to leave.
