About The Golden Ball Hotel

The Golden Ball at Snatchems, on the bank of the River Lune near Morecambe, has been serving refreshment to travellers since 1650. Cool and refreshing in summer or warm and cheerful in winter, it’s still the best site for miles around to enjoy bird-watching with a pint in hand. This rustic-cum-maritime pub reopened under new management in summer 2022 and you can walk here, bring your dog and the kids, cycle, drive, ride or even sail down the river. The Golden Ball is open for lunch and dinner every day serving classic pub food including their signature Hell’s Chicken. There’s a good range of local ales, ciders and spirits too and you can dine inside in the restaurant or outside in the extensive garden area. Accommodation options include cottages and luxury pods.

We chose The Golden Ball to celebrate our 25th Wedding anniversary. The function room was perfect for approx 80 people with a band and space to dance, the atmosphere homely and comfortable. The staff accommodated us decorating the room prior and the good weather meant the grounds/lawn area and terrace was accessible too. The food was wonderful. All enjoyed the night. And the staff were attentive and diligent.

We went on the 25/06/2023 After being taken to a table with 3 chairs and a stool, we did a little furniture arrangement to feel a bit more comfortable whilst eating a meal. There were 4 of us and the bar seemed particularly busy as it was a lovely summer evening, never the less we were asked to order at the bar which didnt bother me. I ordered drinks and paid for the food only to be told afterwards that 2 of the orders were unavailable, by whom I can only assume was someone who worked in the kitchen so I ordered the cumberland sausages instead. For over £13 it arrived in a bowl with a moderately ok amount of mash, 3 normal sized sausages and a small amount if peas with a tiny jug of extra gravy (in the bowl too!). Theses sausages were no different to what I'd get in Asda tbh. The steak pie looked good, the burger looked awesome and the fish & chips was a decent amount. If there had been a sausage less in my bowl, it would of looked like a child's meal, I had severe food envy and we were never offered any change from the difference in price and I didn't ask either, I couldn't wait to get out of there. We were sat squashed in the corner on rickerty chairs, in a dark den. It's a shame but I won't be going back, the only thing good about it was the ladies behind the bar were lovely
