Trawl Boat Inn, Lytham St Annesback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Visited on 2 occasions about 4 months apart. The service is absolutely dreadful with nowhere near enough bar staff to cope with the amount of people. Without doubt the worst Wetherspoons I have ever visited!

The only reason you would drink in this pub is for the real ales.
You have to nearly beg to be served, and when the staff do decide to serve they are rude.
The food is dreadful "plastic" rubbish.
The tables are always full of glasses and generally dirty .. I really don't understand why these pubs are so popular

Well planned Wetherspoons with good patio area for outside drinking. Better range of beers than the norm,but seemed short of staff even on early mid-week visits.Small plasma TV in side-lounge, SKY Sports News only, Sports 1 and 2 not available.

Pub is now non-smoking inside, which is fine during the summer but i can see it getting quite empty as the nights draw in.
The staff show little enthusiam for the job, and are constantly serving people in the wrong order.
I even found a 2p in my carling on one occasion. and thats inexcuseable.

Good selection of Real Ales now a No Smoking Pub
|
The pub is still busy dispite having a no smoking policy,live jazz music is provided on a sunday evening.Excellent selection of beers, and very nice to see some white beers on sale. The service was quick and pleasent and the overall apperance of the pub was good.
Well done Weatherspoons

The place has no internet access , no atmosphere.
some of the time they run out of certain regular, beers not having them for a couple of days, also at times they are cleaning the pipes hwne the pub is open so some beer is not on.
The only pub in the area that opens at 10:30am , a good point !!

The staff do not seem to know anything about serving beer. On complaining about a cloudy pint, I was told "It's real ale, it's supposed to look like that." On informing the member of staff that I had had a pint of the same beer in another local pub that had not been cloudy, I was informed "Well I don't care for that place!" I you want a good pint and good food, don't go here. Also the language tends tlo be a bit choice, but after complaining to one of the staff he did have a word with the people concerned.

We regularly use Wetherspoons pubs in the Fylde area, but on our first and last visit to the Trawl Boat St Annes on the 3.11.04, this is our review.
1. We ordered orange J20's, they had run out.
2. We ordered a pint of Directors beer, this took a while as they were having problems with the pumps.
3. We ordered a platter but they had run out, so we asked for a cheese burger instead, but they had run out so we asked for a spaghetti bolognese and 4 mixed grills.
4. After 10 minutes a chef came over to say there was no spaghetti bolognese so we ordered an extra mixed grill.
5. Another 10 minutes later 4 mixed grills arrived. 15 minutes later when we had finished the 4 mixed grills the 5th one arrived and my son had to sit and eat on his own.
We will never return to this pub again, no apologies were made for the late arrival of the meal and the quality was definately not up to the usual Wetherspoons standard.
In future we will stick to the Fleetwood Thomas Drummond pub as we have never been disappointed there.

It's a Wetherspoons chain pub basically, and shares the same good and bad points as others in the chain. On the plus side these are: better than usual stockage of real ales, no loud annoying music (a plus or minus depending on your taste), no giant screen showing wall-to-wall football, cheap and reasonably varied food (a bit microwavey mind!), good toilets. On the negative side: the bar is often very understaffed, the place has zero character (even the name seems a desperate attempt to fake some history)
