The Royal Oak, Poulton Le Fylde

Absolutely dire this place, I'd rather sit on a park bench drinking cheap cider than go in here, it'd probably be warmer and safer too. No decoration whatsoever (unless you count bare whitewashed walls as decoration), populated with a smattering of drek, charvers and low lives, smelly old furniture with suspect stains on, this place has no character whatsoever. :-(

The Golden Ball, Poulton Le Fylde

Quite a decent 'local' type pub, the beer is generally in good condition and reasonably priced, however the building needs a bit of money spending on it; during some recent heavy rains the ceiling was actually leaking water onto the ground floor! Quite impressive for a 3 story building! Some of the bar staff need to look more presentable/less miserable.

The Ox, Castlefield

Nice 'bricks and mortar' pub with some interesting old photographs and oil style lights round the walls. Gets quite busy with eaters on a Friday and Saturday evening and was a bit annoyed that several tables were empty with "Reserved" signs on, meaning people just wanting a few drinks were squashed into the side room.
