  “Excellent Sunday dinners. The beef and chicken were both phenomenal. The pork was a Porchetta which wasn’t mentioned on the menu. It has a proper traditional pub atmosphere, staff were friendly but service was a little on the slow side for the main course and it is a little more upmarket price wise. Would definitely visit again though”

  “First visit after being recommended. Easy to see why it was recommended. We arrived just after opening time, car park already had quite a few cars in. We received a very friendly welcome.After ordering drinks we were given a choice of tables, at least one table was reserved for a party of 6. The menu offers half portions for those with a smaller appetite, brilliant for us. The half portion was still sufficient for both of us. Will definitely return here.”

  “We called late afternoon on a sunny day and sat in the garden at the back. The bin areas were a bit untidy but there is plenty of seating in the sunshine. Inside is traditional, clean with friendly welcoming staff. Lovely setting with a canal side walk so a great finishing spot after exploring the area.”

  “Came on a Sunday in summer, lovely setting by the canal for a walk after lunch on a nice day. The food was impeccable and the quality of produce was clear to see - no shop bought products, all fresh and cooked to perfection. Staff really friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend.”

  “We celebrated the life of my Friend here today. I must say, I have never been welcomed and hosted this well in a long time. A country pub would be a disservice to the Hand & Dagger. Exceptional service and superb quality of the food offered was above and beyond. I will be there soon to say my Thanks in Person 100% It us a rare treat to have this quality and care and I thank everyone for their attention to care and kindness. A true celebration of Life XX A year on.... our Memorial of a great man was celebrated and the lunch, service and kindness was still the best we could wish for. Thank you to All Xx”

  “We stayed overnight here recently. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the food was amazing. With 2 lovely fields and a nice beer garden we will return for food alone. I had garlic mushrooms( which I would rename mushroom pepperpot) and pork belly with mustard mash, veg and apple sauce. I could have ate it twice over. My only issue was that I couldnt get enough crackling. My partner had prawn cocktail and steak and ale pie which you could tell was long, slow cooked beef and excellent quality. Would highly recommend.”

  “Perfect Sunday Lunch , superb friendly service. It's great to go for real ale pint and take my dog as well. The location is very rural for a walk on the canal to build up an appetite for the food we enjoyed. We walked north towards Garstang in the photos. We will certainly return, as this is a great pub and great food. It's worth booking to secure a table at weekends as we did.”
