Good Pub Guide Recommended

Civilised waterside hotel with lunchtime bar food, three real ales and a fine choice of wines; smart bedrooms
Lunchtime is when this civilised hotel - on the water's edge of the Leven Estuary - is at its most informal. The bar has a relaxed atmosphere despite its smart furnishings: attractive wooden armchairs, some pale green plush built-in wall banquettes, glossy hardwood traditional tables, blue plates on a delft shelf, a huge stone horse's head, and black beams and props with lots of horsebrasses. Magazines are dotted about, there's an open fire in the handsomely marbled grey slate fireplace and decently reproduced piped music; board games. Jennings Cross Buttocks, Cumberland and Golden Host on handpump, 16 by the glass (including champagne and prosecco) from a carefully chosen and interesting wine list and several malt whiskies. The conservatory restaurant has fine views over Morecambe Bay (as do the bedrooms) and there are some seats out on the terrace.

Good Pub Guide Food

Good lunchtime bar food includes interesting sandwiches, chicken liver pâté with cranberry and ginger purée, chilli prawns on a sweet and sour sauce, pasta with leeks, basil and asparagus in a light cream sauce, lambs liver with black and white puddings on a madeira sauce, poached smoked haddock on a mushroom and onion pâté and a wine and herb sauce, smoked pork cutlet on an apple and stilton cream, and steak and kidney pie.

Excellent food and wine list.

Stunning views of estuary from conservatory restaurant and rooms with balcony.

Been coming here most years since early 90's. Last visited March 2010.
