Artisan Cafe / Delicatessen

Tel: 01524 417954
Steve, Chorley (November 2011): I have eaten here on several occasions and have always loved it.
We live about an hour from Morecambe but the Artisan is one of the main reasons we visit.
The choice on the menu is different to all the standard places you can eat and the food is always wonderfully made.
If you order a wrap or sandwich, the salad it comes with isn’t just a bit of lettuce, cucumber and tomato…at the Artisan you get grapes and strawberries thrown in amongst others and it all adds to the glorious taste of each dish.
I haven’t had a bad meal here and always look forward to going. We have taken our family with us who also love it.
If you must find fault you can comment on the size of the place. It isn’t large but the quaint size only adds to the charm of the place. Again, people say it is scruffy but just because it isn’t sterile and uninviting does not mean it is scruffy.
I love the place and would encourage anyone to try it out. You will not be disappointed.

Cafe and juice / smoothie bar.
Paula Clasper (Dec 2006): They actually have a sign outside saying we are not a PUB! And you can get a lovely selection of juices, smoothies, coffees etc as well as a good selection of light lunches (which are quite big actually!) and they can cater for special dietary requirements. I have a friend who needs gluten free and she was able to choose straight off the menu having first informed them that she was gluten intolerant. If you phone them up in advance they will be able to offer other choices too!!! Really lovely.

Barry Dymock (Feb 2007): Late February this year we were in Morecambe while our motorhome was being fitted with a Turbo at TB Turbo in Lancaster. Went in to the Crescent Coffee Room, slightly apprehensively as we don't normally like paying ridiculous prices for the frothy style coffee some places serve, noticed that they did all day breakfasts, so ordered two. When it was brought to the table it was absolutely amazing. There were two of everything !! Served on the biggest circular plate I have ever seen (and I'm 68, wife 58 - anywhere, and we get around a bit in the Motorhome) which consisted of: 2 slices of bacon (excellent quality); 2 sausages; 2 hash browns; 2 slices (thick) of black pudding; 2 mushrooms; 2 eggs; 2 pieces of toast; tomatoes - wife had baked beans. I'd unhesitantly highly recommend this establishment as the best I've ever found anywhere to anyone.

Food for Thought
Poulton Memorial Hall, Church St (near the Town Hall), Morecambe
Open Tues - Fri 12 - 2pm  
Graham Cunnington (October 2006) writes: The food is really tasty and the cooking is flexible. The curry is quite mild
as standard but I asked for a hot one and so got it that way. The staff are smashing and if you need a power surge to get you through the day, I recommend their protein and mineral-packed breakfast.
Kathy Bashford writes (July 2006): Plenty of local and organic food in Morecambe and all meals are under £3!  It's run by the Healthy Living Centre so they grow some of the food in the community garden.

Grove Restaurant
3-5 Peddar Street Morecambe LA4 5DY Tel: 01524 410927
Rob Arnold (September 2007): Good food at the Grove but would agree that the service just isn't too consistent which put me off using it in the evening. A sensibly wide menu cross using ingredients and a wealth of experience here, just a little lacking on the floor
John Freeman (October 2005): "Finding a good place to eat in Morecambe during the day isn't that easy if you have no reviews to go on, but a friend suggested the Grove and we decided to give it a try after a disappointing pub lunch at Wetherspoons a few weeks previously. It was worth it: we had traditional English fare and were more than pleased with the quality - generous portions of vegetables, too, something of a rarity it seems these days. There's a good range of food on offer in pleasant surroundings and the puddings - try the lemon meringue if it's on the menu - was excellent.
Service was a little off on the day we went - got a glass of red wine instead of white-- but the host is friendly and the prices are reasonable, on a par with a lunch in one of Lancaster's restaurants."

Phil Chandler (June 2011): This has become a favourite place for our family, especially for occasions like birthdays and Mother's Day. It has a very friendly family-run atmosphere, and there are many small details that make you feel welcome, like fortune cookies, orange segments, and sweets for children at the end of a meal. It's not unusual for a complementary cake to appear if they know that there's a family birthday. I wouldn't say the service was over attentive, but just very efficient. The Happy Hour menu is good value and the selection of starters provided as a platter is popular with everyone. Lovely views over the Bay from the window tables.

Tel: 01524 832633
Max Johnson (December 2006): I moved to Heysham from Bradford several years ago, and so have been spoilt for curries, hitherto. I've only eaten at the Morecambe Tandoori on Saturday nights when, hardly surprisingly, there is the usual Saturday-night curry house atmosphere. You know the sort of thing - crowded, hot, people with bald heads and tattoos shouting at each other, harrassed, busy and efficient waiters. The curry is good - best in Morecambe in my opinion.

Pebbles Restaurant (Crown Hotel)
239 Marine Road Central Morecambe LA4 4BJ
Tel: 01524 831841
Max Johnson (June 2007) : Having submitted a less than 100% favourable review last month, I promised to try the a la carte menu, and had high expectations of this. I'm afraid we were even less impressed. For example, fish cakes had very little flavour. The duck was over-cooked and came with an inedibly sweet sauce. It was a busy Friday, but I wonder if the chef was there? A part of me hopes he wasn't. The a la carte is expensive (see their website), and we won't be trying it again. The coffee was a vast improvement on the first visit, the service was good and the wines are ok. We might return for a less expensive 'early bird' - not sure when though!
Timothy John Spence (May 2007): After having read positive previous reviews my wife and I decided to journey to the Pebbles restaurant from Lancaster Town Centre on a fine Thursday evening around 8:30pm. Unfortunately the service we experienced was very slow and of poor standard. The food was mediocre at best, my steak was well-done despite asking for it VERY RARE and the salad dressing was that potent that it simply put us off the rest of our food. The restaurant itself was poorly lit and used a variety of dark, heavy textures and fabrics. The décor suggested more of a dungeon than a supposedly top quality restaurant. Will not be eating there again!
Nikki Shepherd (May 2007): Visiting Lancaster for a family weekend away, decided to head to Morecambe on the Friday night, so I sat reading reviews en route - Pebbles stuck me as promising, so I rang at 4.30pm and was told they were full ( well at that late stage it was hope rather than expectation) but had space if we could arrive before 6.30pm. With 2 children this suited us well.
The setting is very pleasant, parking very easy, initial impressions were good. The Early Bird menu had good range and there were half portions for the children or the staple kids 'favourites' if preferred.
From the first taste I was thrilled we'd come, food was beautifully presented, well flavoured and incredibly good value. I would urge you to go there, service is friendly and swift, when you have enjoyed yourselves and considered when you can go again next, wander over the road and enjoy the Eric Morecambe Statue area directly opposite.
I loved it, my husband who is never over enthusiastic about anything was impressed too. Enjoy.
Max Johnson (May 2007): I went on a very quiet Tuesday, and selected from the 'Early Bird' menu (£12 for 3 courses, between 6-8pm). Having heard reports of Pebbles being a gourmet heaven I was a little bit disappointed, however, this might have been because my expectations were unreasonably high! The food was good, and was probably the best restaurant meal that I've had in Morecambe. It was certainly excellent value and the service was good. A small selection of very drinkable wines from the winelist was available by the glass, The coffee, although not cheap, was dreadful. It was stewed. I know it was a quiet Tuesday evening, but that is no excuse. That said, I will certainly go again and next time will, in fairness, select from the a la carte menu, which I confidently expect to be a gastronomic revelation. In fact, I'm looking forward to already!
Alan & Gillian Barnes (Feb 2007): What a lovely place to stay, rooms are VERY tastefully decorated and well equipped. The restaurant is as good as any you will find in our major cities, freshly cooked and presented in a style even Gordon Ramsey would be proud of. Rebooked for the April soul weekender...THE PLACE TO STAY.

PUBS SERVING FOOD IN MORECAMBE & HEYSHAM

The Battery
Heysham Rd, Heysham, Morecambe LA3 1DG
Tel: 01524 426235
Berwick writes (26/6/06): This pub was once a fantastic place to eat, but what has happened? The food is terrible, the tables are dirty, the carpets haven't been hoovered and the furniture, is badly stained and broken. Even the ceiling was leaking.
The food was badly presented, uncooked and swimming in sloppy mush, and was totally unedible. We spent £35 on our food which did not include our drinks, which was also served from a high street purchased bottle of Pepsi and was flat.
The staff were nice but the quality of management that are now running the place must be of a very low standard, which is a shame as this is reflection on their staff, for the conditions they are working under.
We were very disappointed and will not be recommending this place to eat.

Max Johnson (August 2011): A visiting friend and I had lunch at the Royal in Heysham village on a Tuesday. We found a good 'pub' menu, plus a specials board. Prices varied, but seemed reasonable. My friend had a steak pie which he described as 'impressive', and I had Fish and Chips. I rarely get to eat Fish and Chips, because the local chippies aren't very good. These were first class. The fish wasn't overcooked, the batter wasn't greasy and the chips were golden and crisp. I can't comment on the wines because we each drank cask ale. Both ales were in perfect condition. All-in-all, we had a very enjoyable lunch, with surprisingly good food, good service, and a knowlegeable barman. They also serve food until 8.30pm, which is late for this area. I shall certainly be investigating further and I'll probably go for something more imaginative than Fish and Chips.
