Morecambe Hotel, Morecambe

A pub to avoid I'm afraid, even though I managed to have three pints for �3 (promotional offer, then the barrel ran dry!). It didn't look the cleanest of places (my wife refused to visit the toilets) and not the friendliest of atmospheres.

Merchants, Lancaster

Excellent venue, if not the easiest to find, look to your right as you make your way up to the castle/jail. Reportedly the building dates from the 17th. century and it is situated in the wine vaults of an old house. Nice selection of ales and a fine pint of a Belgian white beer, Hoegaarden, which I can highly recommend. They also served a lovely beef and onion baguette. Not the cheapest baguette I've ever had but very nice. Ate it in the beer-garden infront of the pub and spent a pleasant hour watching the world go by.

The Palatine, Morecambe

Excellent place, eight real ales, a selection of continental premium lagers, chatty and helpful staff. Rather small and could be rather crowded and noisy quite easily. I didn't try the food but I have no hesitation recommending The Palatine.
