the good lady decided that we should have a family meal ( managed to delay from today to tomorrow), but i'm at a loss as to where to go in the area, family meal is adults so no ball pools climbing frames etc required LOL, walking frames maybe LOL

anyone shed any light for a decent family meal not too up market and not too naff

cheers

The Dog & Partridge Pub @ Bare is OK the last time our gang had a run out.

There's some decent deals on the food i.e. buy 2 adult meals get a kids free and the food although fairly basic is pretty good.

I've always gone through the week when there's been 6/7 of us and there's always been plenty of room - not sure what it will be like at the week-end.

The Borough, on dalton square in lancaster

Food not as good as it used to be . Penny St Bridge quite good for beer & food and nice patio area for the smokers

What is the Palatine like for food? When it opened it sounded like they were going to do good lunches, anyone tried them? Morecambe actually has a couple of nice pubs now

Went there on thursday night and the food was good, the Burgers are huge!

1725 in Lancaster is good, it does very nice tapas.

The Palatine is really nice, went the other day for lunch and had a very tasty Moroccan fish stew.

Havn't tried it yet but i would think it would be similar to Sun Hotel in Lancaster as it is owned by same person and knowing Matt he usually has things done to a pretty good standard as you can tell by the transformation of the place. There is always the York Hoel who could have good meal deals and half price beer this afternoon for the Arsenal v Chelsea game .

Blue Mountain serves good food and lots of it but tables are very close together.

Blue Mountain serves excellent food.

1725 the food is cooked by a Morecambe supporter

My choice would either be Ship Inn at Sandside or Globe Inn at Overton.

I have delivered to the kitchens of all, bar Blue Mountain, and would eat in all of them


Nearly forgot the place I'll be eating in today, Kings Arms Morecambe.

I kid you not, fantastic food, good prices. Brand new sparkling kitchen.

A proper gem.

Better than Wheatherspooners

I'd love to add to this thread.
So from my last meal in the area was at the Water witch??? on the canal.
Quite nice if I remember rightly.

As a special meal in Morecambe, I think Pebbles takes some beating.

the globe on a sunday has a carvery and its well recommended and they welcome families
theres a childrens menu too

There's a nice little Italian restaurant in Fox Studios area but i cant remember name .Waterwitch also used to be owned by Matt Jacksom but he sold it to Mitchell's last year so dont know if food is still as good . Just had really nice Mega Breakfast in Dave's kitchen but he has to close now and the only thing on the menu will be Shrimps .

I think carvery is on most days now Sean , went there on Monday after showing girlfriend that quaint little place Sunderland Point . She didn't believe me when i told her that people actually live there as tide was coming over the road she just said " Oh my God " . Well the food was good .

Waterwitch, carvery, greaves park, franky and bennies (watch your parking though), 1725?

The new one near aldi, forgot it's name?

yeah Rastelli or something never heard any reports on it though so may give it a miss

unless you know anything ????

Anyone been to the Cross Keys in slyne since the refurb? Bit fancy wine bar for me, but a good pub no the less, and good food.

Penny St Bridge quite good for beer & food

Yep. Also QSF on the Quay.

But my best bets would be up the Lune Valley - the Lunesdale Arms in Tunstall and the Highwayman in Burrow.

Woeful. I had lamb from there once and they put it in olive oil or something. Stank of sh!t, tasted worse, and my sister works there.

I went with my wife a few weeks back - pleasantly surprised with the decor, tasteful and modern classic.
The menu was varied and interesting. I could have chosen about 5 things off it which I fancied that day.
The staff were friendly and pleasant and knowledgable too - to a certain extent...
I made 2 choices - one wasn't available as they'd run out, fair enough, and the other was a black pudding started with pea puree, but they didn't have the pea puree ready...

The wait for the food was a bit too long, but, when the food did come, it was really nice.

I would try it again.

Probably not any more after that referral

I always let her know what i think of the place, she doesn't agree with me though

Rastelli's is pretty good - I'd definitely go again.
