Stanley Arms — Restaurant in Borough of Fylde

Another place Google thinks I was but never been, righty let's see what kind of review I can wangle up this time... Stanley was an awesome Paralympian! Wheelchair sprinter, one of those trike things that pulls wheelies.

I asked for two different drinks which I was laughed at and told they don’t stock, no apology no alternative offered. No food offered. It was a very uncomfortable experience. I get the impression that unless you are local you are not welcome. It was a shame because the pub itself is a very nice old building, let down by...
