Stocks Tavern - West Lancashire

I went here on a Friday afternoon after taking my Mum to the nearby hospital. I was looking for a homely little pub to cheer her up and just stumbled across The Stocks Tavern. Just off the main road, super easy to find. The menu makes it really difficult to decide what to go for because the choice is fantastic! We opted for the lunch deal, which we found to be really reasonably priced. The food wow. All freshly cooked I had the cauliflower cheese spring rolls and they were sensational. Then the cheese and onion pie the portions are really generous and speed of service was perfect. Not too rushed, just spot on. The staff were friendly and couldn't do enough for us it was honestly one of the best meals I've have in a long time and we won't hesitate to return!

Have often visited for lunch and found the venue, the food, the prices and the staff interaction to be spot on, so when looking to meet some friends for dinner we automatically thought of visiting The Stocks Tavern. Sadly, although the staff and the quality of the food were to the same high standard, the prices were expensive for what was on offer. One of our party had the steak pie and one had cheese pie at £16 and £15 respectively and both came with just chips, not even a pea or carrot to compliment the meal unless purchased separately and additionally priced, potentially turning each into a £20 meal. It did take the edge of the evening and while we will still visit for lunch I don't think that The Stocks will be our future dinner venue of choice based on value for money, which is a shame.

Brilliant service for a family birthday. Celebration of a party of seven during the busy Christmas period. Great atmosphere, lovely and efficient staff and brilliant menu. The Sea Bass was a favourite amongst our party along with the traditional turkey roast. The traditional beers were really well kept. We were impressed with the overall experience and will be back for another helping! Thank you!

Great to find a local pub with atmosphere, live music, an extensive quality menu and excellent service. First time at Stocks for many years big mistake will definitely be back.

The menu has a huge choice of both starters and mains- it was hard to choose what to order. We opted for the roast lamb and the pie of the day. Great food which was piping hot, huge portions and great value. The staff were friendly. Good choice of beers. It was only our second visit but will definitely be returning.
