About The Canal Turn

Originally built as the Canal Warden’s house, this Carnforth listed building was converted into a pub in 2001 and with its beautiful canalside location it has become a real destination venue. New owners took over in 2018 and our new limited 'post-lockdown' menu is now available seven days per week.  Our food offering is complemented by a good selection of wines, beers and spirits as well as Lyons Coffee, Whittard Tea and Wallings Ice Cream. The spacious conservatory was added a couple of years ago as part of a £250,000 refurbishment to really make the most of the canal views.  Keep an eye on our Facebook page for latest bookings of live outside entertainment by the waterside!  We welcome bookings via this website, on 01524 720546 or via our Facebook Messenger page.  Walk-ins are part of our welcoming culture and we will always go the extra mile to accommodate you whenever we can.  We look forward to seeing you soon! Bill, Victoria & The Canal Turn Crew x

Please do not eat here. When small fish and chips arrived I asked if it was a child portion!!! I was required to pay before the food arrived and then when questioned the food, was told this is what we do. Stay away as the food is cheap ! Took a photo but can’t upload! Loads of single men not showing any signs or social distancing!!!

Just had lunch at this lovely place. Very pretty location. The food is lovely and fresh. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. They have been very thoughtful regarding to Covid. Each table has its own glass screen with waitress only service. We felt very safe and well looked after. Thank you to all the staff.

We went to the Canal turn for dinner tonight. The food was ok. But the measures in place for Covid were not satisfactory in my opinion. You were allocated a table, but then had to go to the bar to order food, and also to order drinks. So it ended up with groups of people waiting for drinks, not socially distancing. I didn't feel safe. We were the only ones wearing a mask as we left.

Always eat here when in the area. Great food, brilliant staff, a great atmosphere and a feeling of a safe environment. Can’t recommend this place enough. Views to die for too.

Had an enjoyable visit to The Canal Turn last evening (23rd July 2020), lovely location and views, good food, friendly and helpful staff, and reasonably well set out, particularly considering the limitations caused by the need for social distancing. Will return sometime in the future when we're in the area again.

Visited The Canal Turn on the day they re-started serving food. The staff were friendly and courteous & explained how they would be keeping everyone safe. There was a reduced menu - but plenty of choice - catering well for my dietary requirements. We all enjoyed our meals and would recommend a visit.

Lovely location, attentive team members, clean and tidy. A great wine selection and menu (although coming back to sample the food) The atmosphere inside is welcoming and the views amazing.

A really nice and welcoming place to stop for a pint or evening out reasonable prices quality drinks we used to to go to Longlands but it’s a bit pricey and you don’t get the free entertainment. Keep up the good work.

Lovely food and atmosphere at reasonable prices. Good size portions served with a smile. Found this online when looking for a bite to eat on way back home from Lake District. Would definitely make an effort to try it out.
