| A nice little setting , love the atmosphere, the food varies, some days its outstanding and others its just good.Onlty thing I would say is there are alot of dogs in the pub so if you have allergies beware. All in all a real find and my partner says the beer is good. lol3d - 3 Oct 2010 17:13 |
| Went there by bus from Ormskirk. Dropped off at the door at noon which was when the pub opened. 6 very acceptable real ales on tap and a delectable cider from Pontypridd, South Wales which, at 6.5%, was definately one for the road. Food pretty good if slightly pricey but service efficient and friendly enough. Pub closes at 3 Monday to Thursday and, as the bus back to Ormskirk was due at 2.55 this suited us well. doj - 25 Aug 2010 22:14 |
| Just a very poor experience! Food was nothing special and a bit pricey. The beer was excellent. Service was pleasant. End of good news! It had been a few years since our last visit to the Eagle and Child at Bispham Green near Parbold for Sunday Lunch, of which we had good memories. The inn which is part of the Aincough Group/Bispham Geen Brewery looks as if it hasn't had a penny spent on the inside in years. Our table was in a small snug area just away from the main bar. The room was very small and lacked the atmosphere of the main inn. The decor was extremely tired and the benches that we were given to sit on would have looked more in place in a mechanics lunch room (no offence mechanics) as they were covered in large black stains that resembled oil and threadbare. The curtains were also quite disgusting. I am not exaggerating when I say that it just felt filthy! If all that wasn't bad enough it became very obvious during our lunch that this very small area of the inn was mainly reserved for the use of families with small children. Unlike a previous reviewer who enjoyed the inn because there were no children the reverse was true in our case. There was a constant stream of very noisy little children who were mainly under 5. At times the place was more like Macdonalds on a Saturday afternoon not that I am an expert! And if you're allergic it to dogs then forget it. They allow them in regardless of size! Our disappointment was brought to the attention of the owners and whilst apologetic I really don't think they were that bothered. Possible sign of the times and the need to get business at any cost. The Bispham Green Brewery balance sheet does not make for exciting reading. This place has seen better days. Give it a very wide berth. justthetruth - 25 Feb 2010 09:00 |
| Country pub in this small village. Well renowned for high-quality food and wide beer range, and always popular with visitors from the surrounding towns. It's long in the coaching-house mould, very cosy, with flagstone floors, low beams, and hops hanging from the ceiling. A snug on your left has pictures of rural scenes and old maps of Lancashire and Wigan hold the interest. A bowling green is situated at the rear of the pub. The food is a bit pricy for me and I tend not to bother_ I prefer simple pub grub,, but does look very good if you're into that thing. Drinkers don't feel out of place thankfully, nor should they wit h the excellent range put on here. Moorhouses Black Cat, Pendle Witch and Blonde Witch, Lancaster Blonde, Phoenix Flash Flood, Cottage Triumph Stag and Thwaites' Original made up the mostly local selection on my last visit. All excellent, had to return for two more pints of the Stag, a copper beer that was outstanding. This area has many rural pubs, but this is probably the one to head to. Excellent.

| I really rate this place. Quite unexpectedly I found there were no children in the place. Not in the bar nor anywhere else so far as I could see. How wonderful - No howling children in high-chairs. None crawling about on the floor not a dirty runny nose to be seen.I really enjoyed my food and pint. I'll be back. Drywillie - 25 Oct 2009 18:53 |
