Reviews in Poulton-Le-Fylde

I've been here a few times now, but when it was under the guise of the Miller's Arms and to be quite honest, not much has changed.... Let's start with the lack of atmosphere and very tired decor. This place closed for a while before it became the "Greedy Badger" which I thought would be a Godsend as it would mean lots of well needed sprucing... WRONG! Secondly, the service. This place is like a Ghost-Ship, with nobody being seen for ages and then they just float past as if you're not there. The entrance is confusing, there is a desk with nobody at it so you don't know whether or not you're supposed to be going to the bar to confirm your table, or stand around for one of the "Ghost-staff"!! We also had to wait over 30 minutes for our meal, (granted it was Mother's Day, but that's no excuse) and we had to chase the meals up instead of being told that there was a delay. We were offered a free drink, but this is not the answer to poor service & extended waiting times I'm afraid... Not good... Finally, the food... This is good. Very good. Boiling hot and plentiful with good sized portions. Prices are what I'd consider average these days, but I supposed it could be deemed pricey by some people, based on the kind of establishment it is. Overall, it's not the best, purely down to the service and the non-existent atmosphere. If they could sort that out, it'd be a top place.

I paid my parents to have afternoon tea , cakes and scones where lovely but sandwiches had hardly anything thing in them , manager was very nice but other young girl what served them was very rude

Starters were disappointing, especially the octopus which was also a very small portion. They weren’t hot by any means and the mussels tasted odd. I he pizzas the children had were ok but the other two main courses were only lukewarm and, even when sent back, they were returned not much warmer. I love this restaurant for morning coffee and lunch but think it’s overrated and too expensive for dinner We were never table checked at any time throughout the meal which was very disappointing and disappointing inferred that they had were concerned about feedback.

The standard of food was excellent. The restaurant was not busy, the table was situated near the toilet door which was drafty and cold. Had to ask for the door to be closed. Disappointed at my greeting on arrival found the lady greeting customers to be abrupt didn't walk us to the table and said it's over there. Food services are good. I don't think I will return any time soon if ever, dislike being put to the back of a restaurant especially when table was booked weeks in advance.

Lovely welcoming atmosphere,staff very attentive and extremely pleasant , food was really nice but could of done with being a little hotter

A meal for 6 people on a Friday night was absolutely terrific and excellent value at £18 for two courses. The portions were very good and sizeable; not just like two well designed pieces of food and a potato on a plate There are supplementary charges for particular items but we’re well worth the payment (the lamb shoulder especially ). Good atmosphere and very friendly and helpful staff All food was served hot from kitchen and all served at same time. Excellent for a busy restaurant. Don’t understand complaint by someone about the Pizza as one of our party had it and was delighted by taste and size A great night with good food, service and atmosphere (apart from large tv?)

A lovely pub ! We have been twice now & both times the food has been excellent good sized portions & great value for money! Lovely friendly staff & made to feel welcome.

Absolutely lovely evening in gochu, faultless attention to detail in terms of décor and attentive service. Interesting menu and delicious food made with quality ingredients. First class, looking forward to returning soon.

Afternoon tea was very nice but way too much sweet for us all. Picture advertised on Facebook (the reason why we booked) showed an extra layer of savoury. We didn’t get this on our afternoon tea. Staff were lovely and atmosphere very welcoming. However no one visited our table to ask for anymore drinks etc. we was there 2 hours and only had 1 drink (the drink we was served with as we sat down). We did few a little invisible. Of course we took it upon our selves to get up to ask for more, but would have been nice to have been asked. As previously said, staff were lovely.

This pub has the best beef and ale pie we've ever had. The veg is amazing. Plenty of it and cooked to perfection. Not soggy! Chips were great and the onion rings were perfect. Large portions and we feel its really good value for money. Lovely pub. Not as busy as it should be! As the food is amazing.

Lovely meal with friends. Food was good and we were left alone to enjoy it. Very busy so be sure to book.

Quality food served in good time.

Excellent food and service. Took our dogs and they were made very welcome and given water, treats and a fuss.

Our first try of the new offering as the Greedy Badger - Saturday 4th February. We were one of only two tables, which for a Saturday must be disappointing for them. Hence there was zero ambience. 2 x Ribeye - Well cooked and presented. Very nice 2 x Smoked Duck - Our wives both thought some sort of sauce with this would have helped. Otherwise again v good. 3 x Desserts - Again nothing wrong here. Beer - Timothy Taylor's Landlord - Excellent Wine - All single varietals from a Chilean producer. Nothing very exciting and overpriced for what they were. Overall good food in a too quiet setting, total cost about 10% too high.

Very good food and good service in a pleasant environment.

Had a really lovely meal here. Had the 2 courses special offer. The food was really lovely and nice and hot. Service was great too

Very disappointed Have eaten here many times and always been happy. However, today we opted for pizza and the chicken schnitzel burger for a change. Pizza was quite awful So much cheap cheese on the top, which in parts was not cooked base far too thick and stodgy, hardly any prosciutto . The burger was passable but really had not much taste We weren’t the only ones unhappy. Someone on next table complaining about the fish and chips and another ate a quarter of his pizza but left the rest. The staff are very welcoming and pleasant but when we said we weren’t happy with food her answer was “oh I’m sorry, I don’t like pizza either”. It’s obvious that the staff are not reporting back to management when people are unhappy. I feel sad that such a normally great place is being let down by the food at the moment .
