Great pub, excellent well kept real ales, food good. Staff serve you quickly. Keep up the good work.

Two buildings joined to one - an old doctors surgery and a solictors office to make this Wetherspoons outlet. Large outdoor seating area at the front and a large bar inside. usual 'spoons offerings with a range of beers - we tried the local Lytham Brewery but had to send one back as it was definitely "end of barrel" job. It was changed without fuss but the pump clip was not removed so I don't know what happened to it after that! Busy place with a mix of young and old; locals and tourists; drinkers and diners. Open till late so handy for a nightcap after a meal out. Very near the main shopping street and bus stops and not far from the railway station or the seafront.
|
Sorry folks - got my reviews mixed up. This one for actually for the Raliway Hotel in Lytham and not the Trawl Boat which I will now post.
|
Contemporary design in this split level bar which has two outside areas at the front (one for smokers). Usual spoons offering but this bar had a nice fresh feel to it (no carpets to be seen). Tried Hawkhead Bitter and Moorhouses Blonde Witch. Good prices and we stayed for a second pint so it was worth the walk along the main street (it is in Station Road but the station was moved some time ago).
|
not a typical looking spoons from the outside but all the usual on the inside , ale selection was reasonable enough as with the prices(�1.99pint for my pint of moorhouse's blond witch)only odd thing was the nice large beer patio out the front yet signs by all the doors saying "no glasses beyond this point" 7/10
|
i went in one afternoonand had a few wobbleys bobs which was excellent in quality and taste at �1-85 a pint sat outside were was a few tables and chairs .
at the front is a small gardens and a few steps or pathway to a raised buliding i rate this one of the best spoons i have been in and would go again
|
Not the best Wethers but hardly the worst.
Visited last week. Seemed to be having a Wentworth Brewery showcase,as all barone handpump had their beers on. Several tried, some were ok some weren't.
The Oatmeal Stout being the best & the WPA undrinkable.
Worth another look

I recently spent a long weekend in St Annes. I tried a few different pubs but the Trawl Boat was by far the best.
Plenty bar staff so never a long wait to be served. Great prices, as usual with W/S, and staff very friendly and prompt.
Plenty space and lots of seats and a great general atmosphere.
Well worth a visit if you're in the area. Also, Scott Evil works there, so if your lucky you may even meet him.
|
The previous reviewer must have had their eyes closed.
I moved to St Annes recently and have found the staff and locals very friendly here.
The ale is always in good condition and normally has a good range.
Ok the food is not he best but what do you expect for the price
|
This dingy, dark hole reminds me of the Mos Eisley Cantina out of Star Wars, complete with strange, humanoid aliens too.
Not exactly the type of place you'd want to take your loved one for a drink or meal really.
Food (if you can call it that?) is like cardboard and the locals/staff aren't very pleasant either.
Avoid.

Despite the previous comments this is far from the worst Spoons I've drank in. Ales from Batemans and Adnams were well kept during the recent festival though I didn't have the time to try the full range of guest ales. Food was above average for a Spoons and again the service wasn't too shabby.
|
Just another typical Wethersppons, the food is awful here and the glasses dirty (which is a pet hate of mine) the toilets are up a long flight of stairs and the service is awful, I waited nearly 20 minutes to be served once, and that was on a quiet Wednesday afternoon!!!
|
The beer quality is very hit and miss. Big queues. Go round the corner to the number 15 on the square (old Lloyds bank) - they have changing guest cask and if you go afternoons, there are more staff than drinkers!!!
|
Sterile airport lounge atmosphere
indifferent staff
Toilets upstairs
in short, don't bother
|
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)
