The best of the Wetherspoons pubs in the area. Located in a great spot near south pier and the pleasure beach. Parking can be a nuisance as it’s so close to the theme park so a lot of the street parking is residential permits only or restricted parking. The whole pub itself is large and spacious. Set over 3 floors with plenty of seating. The largest indoor seating is downstairs, there’s 2 large fire pits which are a really nice addition to sit around. There’s also outdoor seating on all levels (the biggest area being on the top floor) I can see it being a popular spot on air show days if you can get a seat outdoors. A central glass elevator gives great access to all levels and the toilets are located on the 1st floor. Food here is consistently a good standard and usually quite speedy even on the busy days. Sometimes you do have to wait for drinks longer than you would think during the really busy times. You can read a bit about Blackpool and it’s history if you look up along the front wall.

This Wetherspoons is probably the best I’ve ever been in. Admittedly it’s been a while since I’ve been in a Wetherspoons and much has changed. First of all, a big shoutout to whoever made the app, because it’s fantastic. Being able to choose your meal, pay for it and have it in front of you without moving from your seat is fantastic. This brings me to The Velvet Coaster, whose staff seem to have this down to a tee. As soon as you order from the app, the speed of service is incredible. They are so fast and friendly too, I just couldn’t fault them. The food may be cheap and cheerful but there’s nothing wrong with that, especially when it’s cooked as well as it is here. If you want a cheap family breakfast or meal, make sure you visit The Velvet Coaster.

Been here before, years ago, with the family. Today My Wife and I popped in after Play Expo at Norbreck Castle. Nice looking pub, with plenty of seating. Has an upstairs area and rooftop area but we just sat downstairs. It's nice that they have an open kitchen area so you can see everything being made. The staff all look very professional, including the serving staff. Our food was the typical Wetherspoons offering. Grabbed a craft ale with mine as I hadn't had it before. Afterwards, we ordered a few drinks on the app... after 15 minutes, I went to the bar to see where they were, and saw a young lad pouring one of my two half pints, so sat back at our table. 10 minutes later, I went to the bar again to see them sat on a tray at the end of the bar along with half a dozen other trays. No idea why, as the pub had started to quiet down after the evening dinner rush. I asked if I could take our tray, and brought the drinks to the table myself, half an hour after we'd ordered them.

Food presentation needed some help tbh! The wrap i ordered came out just as that on a plate. No side salad or anything so that was a bit naff. Same with kids meal looked like it needed help. The pizza wasn't too bad though. Suppose its a no frills pub really. The drinks were ok but the glasses needed a good clean, as the 2 i had both had lipstick on. Tbh its not a bad pub just little things let it down, like dirty glasses, grubby menus and food presentation. If the little things like this get sorted im sure it will have better reviews. The inside of the pub is really nice and the different levels are great with a lift in place to help those that can't do the stairs. Nice to sit out on the top and relax. Good deals on drinks too. Would recommend as a place to go for a few drinks.

Visited on a Sunday morning at 10am and already packed out! Luckily in the right place at the right time and grabbed a table as a group was leaving. We ordered via the app and unfortunately it was nearly an hour before our food arrived. Our drinks arrived much earlier so these along with free WiFi kept us going. Apparently there was a 45 minute wait on food but this was not specified on the app. When it did arrive, the food was good. I went for mushroom Benedict with a side of halloumi. As with all Wetherspoons, good menu range including for kids. We don't eat meat but plenty of veggie options to choose from.

We stayed here for one night the hotel is clean same with the room we opted for the evening meal when we checked in and was offered this for £12.50 3 course all you can eat buffet style and to be honest wasn't expecting it to be good for that price but the food was fantastic in the evening after we got back to the hotel we went to the hotel bar for a few drinks and the prices are good for a pint. Only down side is the bed that we had the pillows was firm and the mattress was a firm as a brick wall but that may differ from room to room over all I'd give it a 9 out of 10 just because of that
