Called in this Fuzzy Duck pub while in Fleetwood for the beer festival and there were a lot of real ales available with some handpulls in each of the 2 rooms and clips of all beers displayed in both rooms to help you make your choice. Wychwood, Boggart, Hydes, Roosters, Bank Top, Bass, Oakham and 3 of their own Fuzzy Duck beers available, so it is certainly a mecca in the town for real ale drinkers. We also enjoyed the reasonably priced food too. The only thing I couldn't understand was why the place was empty. We were there about 1pm for quite some time, and were the only ones there in the large room we were in. One or two came into the other bar. Staff friendly enough and nothing wrong with any of the beers we selected either.

Since my last review i have visited quite a few times and can say that the pub seems to be going strong, and has many ex Wetherspoons customers. The pub is getting beers from different areas and giving their coustomers a good choice of cask beers at very good prices and there is a discount for CAMRA members.Top marks to the management and staff who are fast making this pub the place to be in Fleetwood.
