An unassuming but charming little pub next to a canal and if the weather is kind there is plenty of outdoor seating to watch the swans, ducks and occasional barge on the water and there's a children's play area too. Both our food and drinks orders were taken quickly and each arrived without much of a wait. My steak and ale pie was delicious with the accompanying creamy mashed potato and green beans and peas and a jug of gravy. Yum! Others in my party chose roast beef and Yorkshire Pudding and one chose the small plates option which includes halloumi fries and tasty bites. Everyone enjoyed their choice, which arrived together and piping hot. There was a good choice of pudding such as apple cr...

I live 17 minutes away in Ainsdale, and now aged 66 with far to many regular pub visits since aged 16, I have never been to the Running Horses till today. I have driven past it on occasions but never ventured in. I think it has had its ups and downs in the past but the reviews looked good recently so we decided to visit for one of my families bi-monthly Sunday Lunches. We were not disappointed, it was fairly quiet at 2pm on a Sunday, but gradually got a lot busier and when we left at 415pm, there were lots of people sitting outside in the sunshine. Roasts were back on the menu and 4 of us had the beef. It was great, a decent sized portion at a good price and what looked like home made roast...

We booked here as a family of 7. It was very busy as it was a sunny Sunday. We ordered our meals. Had a little wait for them as it was very busy. Lyndsey was very apologetic. All meals arrived lovely and clean plates at the end. My 2 granddaughters especially love the zip wire! Always a warm welcome in this establishment. All staff are lovely but a special mention for Lyndsay who is so friendly and has time for everyone even when it’s extremely busy! Book a table now
