The food was amazing, had a chilli burger which was very hot as chilli seeds were added. The homemade chips reminded me of how my grandma made them, best chips I’ve had in a pub/restaurant ever!! Great view of the river and plenty of seating inside and out. Staff friendly and helpful. Highly recommend Martin Forshaw2025-07-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Cheryl Parker2025-06-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Visited the Golden Ball over the weekend. The staff are amazing and made us very welcome. DJ Saturday afternoon playing records which was great bringing back the good old days. Meals were lovely and fresh and certainly worth the money. I wish the new managers all the very best with the future of the pub and pods. We will be back to visit again. Thank you for the bottle to celebrate our Anniversary. Highly recommended. Cheryl and Mike. Michael Grazebrook2025-06-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friendly. Much enjoyed chatting with the landlord and locals. Well kept beer and the fish & chips was great. Broad view over the river and salt marshes, beautiful in the evening light.

Pleasant surroundings to enjoy a relaxing drink. barbara rushton2025-06-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Called in today for tea. Absolutely delicious. Husband said the fish and chips were the best he’d tasted outside Whitby. Golden crispy batter with lovely white fish and the chips were homemade. My steak pie was lush, big chunks of tender juicy steak and again homemade chips. Sat on the balcony in the sunshine and the views are stunning. The staff are lovely friendly and welcoming. Isobel our waitress was very friendly and helpful. Well done to the new team. We will be back Mark Nicholson2025-06-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A pleasant riverside walk mostly along cycle ways takes little over one hour to get here from Lancaster. 3 well kept cask ales served at reasonable prices. Unfortunately no lunches are available Monday & Tuesdays - next time I’ll visit later in the week.
OUT & ABOUT
Things to do in the local area
The Golden Ball is located within equal distance of Lancaster, Morecambe and Heysham. We are also ideally located for anyone visiting the Isle of Man, as the ferry port is a short drive from the hotel. The Lake District is only 30 minutes from our door, or in the other direction we have Ingleton Falls, Settle and the famous steam railway.
