The Old Bell Coffee House

Reviewed By happyholidays2008Uk

Visited during a busy lunch service and was pleasantly surprised. Although it took a while for our order to be taken, the lady who served us was very apologetic about the wait. Food and drinks arrived quickly. Proper tea which was nice. And the toasties are delicious! I had the salami and mozzarella (asked for the pesto sauce too which was added and very good!). Will definitely be back on my next visit to Lancaster. Thank you for the positive feedback Look forward to seeing you soon

Toll House Inn

Located right in the centre of Lancaster, Toll House Inn is a top quality bar and restaurant. We serve hearty, home-cooked food, ranging from sandwiches to steaks, as well as our locally sourced specials - all best paired with one of our quality cask ales

Reviewed By Rachel S

Stopped here overnight and room was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Ensuite had amazing shower. This aspect is very good. However downstairs check in across the main restaurant bar lacked customer service and no cooked breakfast due to repair of extractor fan in kitchen though not their fault, disappointing as continental breakfast left a lot to be desired with dry croissants and no marmalade so this part is average.

The Sun Hotel & Bar (Dining)

Reviewed By glamourpuss1000

We visited for the first time on the recommendation of a local person on our most recent visit to Lancaster. We didn’t eat this time but the food going out looked delicious and a visit for dinner is definitely on the cards. We tried the Lancaster Blonde beer and the grapefruit beer; both were delicious. There is a great choice of drinks. Picturesque interior and don’t miss the well! Pleasant and friendly staff, I really enjoyed my visit.Hi Glamourpuss1000, thank you for the 5-star review and for choosing to stop by The Sun Hotel & Bar. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our venue, and look forward to seeing you again in the near future!

The White Cross

Canal side pub with home cooked food served 12PM-9PM every day. Up to 13 cask ales, two rotating craft beers plus fresh ground coffee and and excellent selection of wines by the glass.

Reviewed By LauraDaveJames

This pub is in an excellent location with an outside seating area next to a canal. We enjoyed two glasses of prosecco sitting beside the water which were reasonably priced at less than £4.00 each. I did think it was a shame that all the outside seating was basic bench type seats which we found to be less than comfortable. We enjoyed our visit on a pleasant sunny day. Thank you so much for your comments, our benches have had a bit of wear and tear from the summer, and we thank you for bringing it to our attention that some of them will require maintenance. We hope you come back for more of our lovely bubbly on another lovely day!Kind regards – Harley Parker – Restaurant Manager

Merchants 1688

Restaurant and bar serving excellent British cuisine, 8 real ales and a selection of fine wines. Set in 300 year old wine merchants cellars 1 minutes walk from Lancaster Castle and 5 minutes from the train station, with a peaceful beer garden to the front

Reviewed By thomasmG7353YY

Merchants 1688 is one of the best options in Lancaster, which otherwise is short on real ale pubs. It's a lovely venue, with several designated sections and a nice, comfy [slightly "cavernous", see pictures] atmosphere. The real ale selection is certainly more than adequate, staff are generally nice and helpful. Recommended for Lancaster!

The Three Mariners

Reviewed By louloulancaster

My husband and I just are here tonight after seeing the food last week. We are glad we did. The pate was delicious absolutely delicious. The pub itself is lovely so old and full of charm we’ve been in many times over the years and always marvelled at its age etc but never eaten here. Glad we did will definitely return again a brilliant meal and friendly service.

The Butcher and Tonic

A bespoke restaurant in the heart of Lancaster serving contemporary British cuisine, featuring a masonic hall and the broadest gin selection around.

Reviewed By 2ov5

First time visit after winning a voucher off Beyond Radio. Staff were polite, friendly and efficient throughout. The roast dinners (1 Lamb, 1 Beef) were superb with roast potatoes & mash along with several other roast vegetables and a huge yorkshire. A deceptive plateful as it doesn't look a lot when it arrives, but IT IS! Puddings were equally delicious, not your run of the mill frozen offerings. Well worth a visit.

Reviewed By Lisa S

We go every couple of months or so for the Simply Squiffy Sunday special. The food is delicious but it’s the staff who really make this. They can’t do enough for you and are always friendly. We had a slight error on our bill and it was rectified in seconds. No fuss. Can’t recommend this little gem enough.
