Review of The Squirrel Pub & Carvery, Bispham, Blackpool

THE SQUIRREL PUB AND CARVERY, BLACKPOOL The Squirrel is a very popular pub restaurant on Bispham Road in Blackpool. To get to the pub by car you leave the M55 motorway at junction three and follow the A583 road towards Blackpool Town Centre. The A587 is on the right as you go into town and you need to turn right towards the zoo, and you can follow brown elephant signs until you get to Stanley Park. Once near the zoo follow the A587 past Blackpool ...
...passing B and Q on the right. There is ample car parking once you are at The Squirrel. The pub is about half a mile north of Layton Railway Station which is on the Blackpool North Line. The best bus route to get there from Blackpool Town Centre is route number 11. The Squirrel is owned by Mitchells and Butler and I believe their Pub and Carvery Brand has proved to be great value for money. In fact a lot of people in Blackpool must agree with me as ...

Review of The Squirrel Pub & Carvery, Bispham, Blackpool

Why Go To The Squirrel? My husband and I love to go to The Squirrel pub for a meal. We tend to go there on a Sunday for lunch once a month. I would definitely recommend the pub for it's carvery's although I don't particularly like the pub side to it there never seems any space to sit down. The carvery is in a different room where there are tables and chairs to sit at. There is a new system now that means you have to pay for your meal before you ...
...to the chef's at the carvery. The pub has had to do this because they had people who ate and never paid for their meal. If you want to open a bar tab then you can do, but you must hand them your credit card or debit card which they will then swipe and hand back to you. This means that you can pay at the end of your meal and also for any drinks you order. You can also pay by credit or debit card at the time you order or you can pay by cash. What ...

Review of The Squirrel Pub & Carvery, Bispham, Blackpool

...regular. On my last visit the waitress treated myself and my family in a way we have never been treated before. On every visit I feed my 1 year old son some of my meal as he only has a tiny amount. I had been refused a bowl previously but told I can bring my own. On this night the waitress's were looking at me, one said to the other watch her she wil bring a bowl. I mentioned to my husband since entering one waitress in particular hadn't taken her ...
...bag. Like a charging bull the waitress comes to our table and yells at us saying we cant feed our baby unless we buy a meal for him (0.25p cheaper than an adults meal) I asked her why when it was fine before and told her he only has half a potatoe a tiny bit of veg and an inch of meat. She then wouldn't stop arguing without us even speaking to her . I had to keep telling her I have heard enough, leave us to eat please. The other waitress came and ...

...children to this carvery as the staff are v. rude. I asked for a small plate for my child so I could give her some of my dinner. the response I received was horrifing. "WE DONT GIVE OUT SMALL PLATES YOU NEED TO BUY A VOUCHER" I have been going this a eaterie for the past ten yrs and never had a problem. I then got my own plate for my 3yr old when I was once again challenged by snotty staff. "WERE DID YOU GET THAT PLATE YOUR NOT ALLOWED IT" Its not ...
...a meal with my family. The manager never came to see me as I was asked did I want to see the manager, which I agreed to. He just phoned the police. I was accussed of assault and asked to leave the premises. My children were very upset and I will be taking this matter further with the chain. All in all the police were phoned because staff at the squirrel made up a story about myself to their management. Apparently I assaulted a member of staff in ...

...money. I have eaten the delicious Roasts here for the last ten years and have never had to make a complaint. I am in the catering industry myself and give the team top marks for service, food and value for money. No, it is not fine dining, but it provides what it says on the tin! A carvery. What I want to know is why the writer of the review with the young child should not understand that what they were doing was theft! And encouraging the child ...
...3 year old and he eats as much as the adults! I would never dream of not paying for him. They provide high chairs for younger children too, To the above critics I would say dont go to the Squirrels again looking for free meals - try the Salvation Army! ...

The Squirrel pub is on Bispham road, just under a mile from Bispham Village. If there is anyone comming to Blackpool on holiday and wanted to try the excellent lunch they do there, the easiest way to get to the Squirrel is as follows. Onto the prom to Gyn Sq roundabout, that is the only roundabout on the promenade to my knowledge where the Savoy Hotel is and the Gyn Pub. You really cant miss this roundabout as it has a feature in the middle of it ...
...rd all the way untill you come to a set of traffic lights and you can see B&Q on your right. Turn left at these lights and the Squirrel is on your left about a mile up the Bispham Road. On entering the Squirrel, it has a large car park and an oldy worldy theme. The pub is of a decent size so there is plenty of room. The problem is with the Carvery, is its such great value for money during the week (£3.50) it does get packed. Just like many Carverys, ...

...quick and friendly both in the bar and restaurant. Excellent quality of food, but menu limited. Only go here if you want carvery. Plenty of parking behind the pub. The prices are outsandingly good.Beer prices start at £1.74/pt (Thwaites). Wine similarly excellent value. Children welcome if well behaved . We saw two children gently reprimanded by the chef for running and palying near the hot food and heaters, and sent back to their parents because ...
...veg and not 'pig out' on Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes. Very sensible attitude towards children we thought. Good range of sweets for less than £2. Don't know how they do it at the price. Weekday evenings the same meal is £4-50 and on Sundays £6-50 but still good value ...

...read her review, to get the full picture. She is more of an expert on the Squirrel pub, I have only been there the once. This is my personal experience and findings. I was taken to the Squirrel Pub and Carvery as a treat by a family member, when her husband said all you can eat for £3.50, I was like wow, this I got to see. I am not familair with the area of Blackpool, but it is located on Bispham Road, in Blackpool. It has a rear car park with ...
...cheerful and a relaxing atmosphere. The bar is on the right hand side and seating to the left. Walking through the bar brings you to the dining area. It is quite big, many sized tables. Great for a family afternoon out. Children are welcome and also provide high chairs for the babies. The restraunt is a no smoking area as I would of expected. I sat at the table while the drinks were ordered and meals paid for, this was a treat for me, so I am not ...

...this pub last week for the first time. As you walk in, it looks like a lovely homely pub, with lovely seating areas and a quiet cosy atmosphere. The bar staff were friendly, and did not mind that i had a 4 year old with me, who was willing to explore the whole pub. The seperate resturant are is lovely too, nice and bright, and the staff were willing to move tables to accomodate our lage party. The cavery meal was excellent value for money, and very ...
...meat if you want to. the toilets on the dining area are clean and nice. However i found the toilets in the main part of the pub very dirty, and not somewhere where you would want to go if you could help it. Overall however, this is a lovely pub, with good food at low prices, and a friendly atmosphere. ...
