The Canal Turn - Carnforth

This pub is situated in a stunning canal side setting. There is a car park and ample outside seating for a sunny afternoon. It has recently changed management and it is evident they are making a go of it and I wish them every success. The food - I had scampi fries and side salad, classic pub grub.and a good size portion. The side salad was iceberg lettuce 1 cherry tomato and a couple of slices of pepper. I would have rather some mixed salad leaves. My partner had canal club ciabatta which was like a spicy chicken mayo with bacon and tomato. He assures me it tasted better than it looked. (Vomit on a bun) ha The fries were nice but some would say overdone. They were dark golden and crispy I personally liked them. My only slight niggles were the choice of coffee advertised wasn't on offer and we had filter which was cold and was warmed in the microwave. My other no no was the table was sticky :/ and at one point over the coffee we nearly cancelled our order but continued in support of the small local business. It sounds as if I didn't enjoy it. I did ,.it was basic and because I'm not posh by any stretch I overlooked the niggles as I want this local pub to survive. The venue itself is beautiful and it has only been open a few weeks and I'm sure they will thrive and will be able to reinvest some profits on improving the menu. If you are looking for beautiful food near Carnforth then the Longlands is the place to go. The goats cheese and walnut salad was divine.

Been in this pub twice since reopening! New to the area but the staff are amazing and always on hand to help out! They can’t do enough for you! Great seating area inside and out and so many friendly faces. Supervisor Jordan was both professional and attentive and in control of His staff ! Must visit! Billy stott
