Stopped for drinks after walking along the canal. Impressed by the lovely spacious beer garden. Social distancing not a problem here. Also ordered a sandwich for a quick bite. Chips amazingly good! Very nicely presented salad. 
Inside is quirky, traditional, very ‘real’ and full of character,  please keep it that way! Probably not to everyone’s taste but we will be coming back.

Impromptu visit

The good:-
Beer was well kept & decent choice of real ale.
Nice beer garden.
Plenty of room to keep social distancing.
It’s got a pool table.
It’s a proper pub.

The not so good:-
Luke warm (at best) greeting from the landlord / owner?
It’s only got 1 star food hygiene rating (we decided not to have food on the strength of that)
It’s a bit grubby, I know things are tight but just a lick of paint would make a massive difference.
The locals seem to get attentive service from the staff, we were pretty much ignored.
It smells of tobacco smoke

I so wanted to do a better review, it’s only a couple of miles from where we live & we are really keen to try & support local businesses during these tricky times. Alas with the greeting, decoration & food hygiene score I think we’ll have to support others in the area.



Local pub for local people?

booked for a family meal and was not disappointed,
lovely food nicely served, and really tasty, nice friendly staff 
everything you need to have a good experience...from a proper country pub, thoroughly enjoyed it. 

Fantastic proper country pub

Have used this venue for a few years now , Great Hosts ( Andrea + Terry ) and Staff .

Large back room for Music ie: Live Band used at our Charity event, good selection of 
Beer and spirits.The food is  top  class with Lemon Meringue to die for.
Plenty of space at side of pub chairs tables and play area for children.

Charity Event

First of all this place is situated very close to a high speed railway on one side and the M6 on another so not the quietest of surroundings. It's also in the middle of nowhere but if that's your thing that's fine. 
When we arrived and asked at the bar about our reservation we were told my wife deals with that, she won't be long, so we purchased a drink and sat outside.
When we finally got showed up to the room I think we'd made our mind up before we even got there, that wouldn't be staying here, even though with it been a late booking we would loose our money. The staircase was filthy and the landing stunk awful and was cluttered with junk.
We were shown into the room "milk for a brew is in the fridge on the landing" we were told and she left with a brief explanation about the keys. Thank god we didn't bring our luggage in, we couldn't get out quick enough, the carpet in the bedroom was stained and dirty, the headboard on the bed was filthy, the mattress cover was stained, paint splattered on the door, wallpaper coming off, half used bottles of shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom and my partner opened the draw of the dressing table to find a hair brush full of hair, disgusting. The bed did feel comfy to be honest but we only sat on it, we left very quickly not to return again.



Noisy and Flithy 

we stayed for a saturday night.
beer was nice and clean with a good selection on offer, the food was excellent but for "my taste" the chilli and rice needs a little more fire but i am a chilli grower and addict.
the accommodation was so much better than the traditional travel lodge.
i would not hesitate to recommend this place to any person but be aware that many dogs and children will be visiting, also that some of the areas away from the main bar have  a faint doggy odor
dogs can stay over night if they are a small size.

warm greating at garstang

My family are all originally from Calder Vale and other half Catterall. In the 80s we used to park here and walk up the canal and then have a drink outside in the garden. I had been following the Kenlis Facebook page for a while so we made the 30 mile journey over for lunch today. My husband toddler and I. Inside has changed a lot but I was very pleased to see the original stained glass windows and doors! Its a quirky pub with different rooms/sections we were offered the lounge but chose to sit in dining area which was very clean, nicely decorated with woodland theme. A lot of thought and personality has gone into the pub and I was pleased to see it fill up with regulars. The barman (South East accent) was very pleasant and the Chef lady was very nice even when I had a problem with my order they didnt charge us. The waitress was also very polite and apologetic. We will return again in the summer weather - would be nice for the children in the garden as there were plenty of tables, childrens play equipment and chairs. All in all - A friendly community pub, clean and worth stopping by on a Sunday. My husband was happy with the portion of Sunday Roast - Slices of beef, cabbage, carrots and roasties. My little girl was particularly complimentary about your Yorkshire pudding!! Thank you x

Sunday Lunch

When the board outside says food is served on certain nights of the week, one does not expect to be old 'Oh, that's only in summer'. We visited in mid April which, apparently, is still 'winter' in these parts. The barman did go and make enquiries in the kitchen, but returned saying they were too busy preparing for a private function that evening... so food was on offer, but not for us. Very disappointing, not least as the information was delivered in a rather dismissive fashion. Unimpressed.
