About This Pub
You know, I recently had a pint at The Boars Head in Lancaster, and it's one of those pubs that just hits the spot if you're after that classic British vibe. The staff are absolutely brilliant, always up for a chat and making sure everyone feels welcome, which really adds to the homely feel. Prices are spot on too – you won't feel like you're being ripped off for a decent drink. It's got this traditional charm that's becoming harder to find, with great music playing and a lively crowd that makes for some entertaining evenings. On the flip side, it does have a bit of an 80s throwback aesthetic, which might not be everyone's cup of tea if you're after something more modern. And it's a shame there's no website to easily check out the schedule or specials, but once you're there, it's hard not to enjoy the simple pleasures it offers. All in all, it's a solid choice for a night out, especially if you appreciate the old-school pub scene without any fuss.

Loved it,great music, busy and friendly, lots of characters and a good pint 👌
Lovely warm and welcoming place. Traditional old pub which Lancaster is certainly short of. Keep up the good work.
Pleasant enough place, especially if you want to re-experience the 80s. Good prices and friendly staff and customers.
Went here last week 5th November. I can't tell you how welcoming this pub is, simply brilliant, land lord and lady exceptionally welcoming. First visit but we will return soon. Sandra and Steve
