The Railway Hotel (JD Wetherspoon), Lytham Town Centre, Lytham St. Annes

This is a smart, clean and modern looking Spoons. It has several rooms and the small front room felt like a breakfast room in a small hotel rather than being part a pub. I probably added to that vibe as I was there for breakfast. Out of curiosity I checked out the guest ales but it seemed a bit sparse on that front - with just Lancaster Black alongside two GK default options. I think as a pub that would have been a bit disappointing, but as I was there for breakfast and not beer, it didn't bother me on this occasion. Toilets are upstairs, up a rather narrow staircase. The toilets were nice and clean. There is a pleasant seating area to the front outside, which looks very inviting when the sun is shining.

a pleasant enough Spoons tucked away in a quiet part of a quiet town. And indeed it was ticking along quietly on a Saturday morning. Quite a modern but intimate interior, nicely decorated with a seaside theme though a bit sterile for my tastes. Plenty of space and with further outside seating at the front and back. It did the job and there’s a decent choice of ales, even if it’s nothing to write home about.

Modern fit out of a Spoons, making it different, but fittings feel a little cheap. Large space on an L shape, with some separation, again unusual. Good beer and service

Always a pub / hotel, but this still looks appealing despite the semi-modern 'spoons makeover (both inside and out). Various small(ish) seating / dining areas around the central servery, with the only gripes being the numerous small level changes and a very tortuous route to the gents' toilet. Fair selection from the two banks of five handpumps, from which the Lancaster Red (£2.15) seemed like the best bet.
