The Trawl Boat Inn (JD Wetherspoons), St. Annes Town Centre, Lytham St. Annes

I was rather more impressed with this place than the previous reviewer. Fairly busy, but the service was very good and all the tables were clean and ready for use. A slightly pedestrian selection of guest ales, but my beer was in good nick. We'll happily call in here again.

On a sweaty sunny afternoon, the outside seating was packed and relatively few were sat inside the spacious interior. being so humid and after a long walk from Lytham, I swerved the Plum Porter in favour of a Leffe with my pizza. generally I took a disliking to this one. The interior is rather soulless, the pizza was lacking cheese and tomato and the walls must be the most sparsely decorated of any Spoons I have visited. The FA Cup final was also showing on the TVs with audible commentary, though at least very few customers were bothered and it was easily avoided.

Standard Wetherspoons but the beer quality is good

Converted from two former lodging houses (later a doctor's surgery and a solicitor's practice), this 'spoons retains something of a domestic mock-Tudor façade. Passing through the split-level front patio terrace, the interior is quite dark away from the main windows and is unremarkable in terms of furniture and decor. Modest choice from the two banks of five handpumps, with the Acorn Old Moor Porter (£2.15) being the best of the bunch.
