The Dunes in Blackpool

Ah, The Dunes in Blackpool – what a lovely spot it is, isn't it? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff really stand out; they're so warm and attentive, making every visit feel personal and enjoyable, just like popping round to a friend's for a chat. The food's another winner – think fresh, hearty meals that hit the spot without costing a fortune, and paired with a great range of drinks, it's ideal for a relaxed afternoon or evening. They've got all sorts going on too, like quiz nights and live sports, which add that extra spark to the atmosphere and keep things entertaining. On the flip side, it does tend to get packed during peak times, so you might have to jostle for a seat, and if you're an early bird, the 12pm opening could feel a tad late. Still, it's got plenty of perks, like being dog-friendly and having a nice beer garden, making it a solid choice for a laid-back day out. Overall, it's a pub that does most things right, with just a few minor niggles, so I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in the area – you'll likely leave with a smile!
