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.

Lovely meal on mother's Day with the family. Good food, served hot with good service and reasonably priced. Will definitely return.

Booked a table online,for 7-15, Thursday 16th March. Arrived on time to be greeted by staff,who when we booked in at the venue told us the kitchen is closed and cleaned down for the night. Disappointed at this comment,was offered if we wanted they could possibly cook us something. To which we declined. Seems as though the staff don’t check bookings,not very happy
Sean Duffy
Nice quality food if a somewhat limited choice. Pub was freezing due to heating failure. Could have put some portable heaters in. Staff were very nice and helpful.

Really nice staff couldn’t do enough for us. Stayed in the cottage which was very cold but we got moved which was good and no issues. Nice setup and blond hair bar staff lady could not do enough for us. Food was disappointing as they ran out of most things before we ordered, but overall a great visit and nice place.

As usual very good ,sorry that steak sandwich not on menu any more , Hubby had gluten free fish and chips he said it was very good I had a panini which was nice served with a salad all very fresh .

The waitress Joanne was great. The top room was freezing which made us was to leave as soon as we had eaten. We ordered then 20 minutes later informed they didn’t have a certain item on the menu to has to choose again. After choosing another waitress came back 5 mins later to say they didn’t have mash for the other option we chose… The food was edible but wasn’t great and for the price we certainly will not be back.

My husband & I went on Valentines night for an early dinner. The food was lovely & plenty of it but I had to keep my coat on throughout the meal as it was so cold in there. Little or no atmosphere, we ate our meal & left immediately after.. Would I go again? Probably but not until the weather improves. I believe there was an open fire but it didn’t penetrate far & a ‘warm welcome’ is what we look for.

Had a lovely meal, plenty of food and very nicely cooked. The staff were very tentative, nothing was too much trouble. A very nice pub would recommend it
