Carnforth:
Small traditional backstreet locals pub we came across while looking for somewhere to eat. Friendly enough, but a strong smell of dog. The beer was OK though, and we sat in the sun outside.

The Royal Station Hotel
Carnforth:
Large Victorian hotel near the station. Slightly reduced in size with some bits rented out, and a bit faded grandeur (but evidently under refurbishment). The bar was pub-like, and pleasant enough, full of locals on a Friday evening, we came for a drink, then returned for food as the nearby Chinese restaurant was shut. Food and beer both fine, though only 1 ale available, but decent lager as well. Could be absolutely magnificent with investment, and the current people seem to be doing a good job.
The Canal Turn
Carnforth:
The Canal Turn sits alongside the A6, with the Lancaster Canal to the other side. It’s a traditional pub, with some modern bits to the building, like large windows looking out over the canal. We’d just missed lunch, sadly, but the beer and wine were both good, and the staff pleasant. I’d imagine a nice sunny day looking over the basin and drinking could be very pleasant.
The Snug
Carnforth:
A micropub at Carnforth station, and a fine example too: great beer, conversation, no TV, no music, no gaming machines. Casks stored in a chiller at the back of the room. About the only criticism I could make is tall chairs and tables, but besides that, perfect. Short opening hours: 12-2 lunchtimes, 5-9pm Tues-Sat, 12:30-4:30 Sunday.
