and the remainder of St Annes On Sea
Women’s Open Golf at Royal Lytham & St Annes Teeing Up Your Food & Drink – continued…
Did you really think that was all we had to offer? There’s far too much for just one blog, so here’s what’s further away from the promenade and the Square, including the hidden (but very close to the course) gem of Ansdell and Fairhaven – home of the train station by holes 8 and 9.
Off Church Road
Coming out of the golf course, turning right onto St Thomas’ Road, the Three Fishes chip shop is worth the trip along Lawrence Avenue to the corner of Hove Road. If instead you carry on along St Thomas’ to the traffic lights with Church Road and take a right, the side streets have a few places to pick up something delicious to eat.
Jason’s fish and chips (you’ll never guess what they sell) sits on Moorland Road alongside Buttys – the aptly names sandwich shop, which also has a few non-traditional filling options and some pastries.
Waddington Road & Heyhouses
Further along Church Road, a turn into Waddington Place will take you to Phil’s Bakery for savoury and sweet treats, New Dehli’s tastes of India and Heng Yun Chinese takeaway. Carry on along Waddington Road to Heyhouses Lane and you could pop into the Water’s Edge, a Joseph Holt, family friendly pub and restaurant.
Alternatively, carrying on along Church Road to the end takes you to the Blossoms Sizzling pub, marking the start of the Ansdell offerings. The main road through Ansdell, Woodlands Road, is scattered with great food options.
Woodlands Road
Closest to the Blossoms, near to St Joseph’s Church, is new eatery on the block, Ronnie’s, with a huge selection of sandwiches. Followed by Ansdell Fisheries, offering both traditional fish and chips alongside a selection of freshly made Chinese food to take away. Next door is the traditional bakery, Bennett’s, with savoury and tempting sweet treats. Next up is Ronnie’s coffee bar, with seating outside. Further along, on the opposite side of the road is Yum Yum’s café serving food and drink with seating both in and outdoors.
As you start to head over the bridge you’ll see Foodfest, mainly a takeaway, with their range of pizza, burgers and kebabs – it’s worth adding a side of chips with red salt. Across the road in the Ansdell Institute is the 1909 café, with teas, coffees and cakes. Head over the bridge past Dominos and you’ll come to Hygge on the corner with Kingsway. Hygge has a wide variety of food options on both its daytime and evening menu, and also weekly specials. Across Woodlands Road is 88, this Chinese restaurant has been a fixture in Ansdell for decades.
Clifton Road
At the bottom of the bridge by the roundabout is The Fairhaven pub and restaurant, with great pub grab and drinks to match.
Inner Promanade
A short stroll towards the seaside, brings you to Fairhaven Lake, the Fairhaven café at the side of the lake lets you enjoy the view while you replenish your energy or grab an ice cream from the kiosk.
This is an apt location for us to finish the tour, as Fairhaven Lake actually used to be a golf course – you’d have to be an impressive shot to get it over the water hazard these days!
Enjoy!
