Reviews of The Pinewoods
Dog friendly pub. Made to feel really welcome. Msin meals amazing. Pud selection disappointing as too much dairy free. Great there is an option but need to have both. Eg proper custard as well as dairy free.
This place was amazing! We had so good experiences there, the staff was very kind, nice and helpfull. It was the first time for us with my partner to be there, and we needed some help, they was really kind and the hospitality was excellent! We will definitely go back, as Formby is beautiful, The Pinewood is really friendly and it's also so close to the Beach. Prices are fine, and the place is clean and the environment is very good, with good quality foods with very friendly people! We would recommend it to everyone! ☺️
Very friendly pub, decent priced food and quality. Would recommend if your nearby
Dog friendly and service was great.
Gentleman let us know in advance there would be a little wait due to a big order at once for another family.
13 of us in the party on 27th December. Food was first class; all served together, piping hot and delicious. For all that we had it was reasonably priced.
All of the staff were helpful and friendly yet professional.
Highly recommend a visit.
Had roast beef Sunday lunch at pinewoods and it was delicious the beef itself is quality roast potatoes veg Yorkshire pud gravy all tasty and very hot in temperature which is always a plus for me it’s a nice warm & welcoming pub and all the staff are friendly and accommodating we live locally so definitely returning thanks 😊
Familiar atmosphere, friendly staff with a good sense of humor and fast service, delicious food and a large selection of drinks.
Close to the beach in a calm and beautiful area.
who needs more than that?
I will recommend it to everyone!
The Formby Pinewoods national trust nature reserve is great. It is a sanctuary for rare red squirrels and leads down through the woods to Formby beach. The squirrels only bother getting out of their dreys on warm days but are very unafraid of humans when they do. You might also see pheasants and a number of other birds. Few facilities and if you are not a National Trust member you have to pay to park. This is primarily a wildlife reserve but it is a great place to walk your dog and just enjoy an area of unspoilt nature.
Always take the dog here after our walks with the dog. Staff are always friendly, I believe it was a chap called Al that was cooking that day. Food was lovely. Will be back again. Thanks
Always come here often for the football. Plenty of TVs and seating. Great atmosphere. Thanks Pinewoods.
Daniel the deputy manager was a delight to our table when we went in for a family meal. He was attentive and nothing was too much. Will definitely recommend and return in the future 😊
Came in a few days ago had great service from the whole team. Especially great food from the chef, Al. Will be visiting again!
Well this was my first visit to the pinewoods and let me tell you I will definitely be back there!! Daniel and the team were so welcoming and kind, the food to top it off was top notch, 100% will be back there.
Fantastic place , will definitely be returning , drinks were spot on , staff were amazing! & a big shout out to the chef Al , great food mate!
Came in for a meal earlier - great food, decent portions and price, can't complain! Spoke to the bar and chef Al, good laugh!
Great food from Al the chef. Lovely pub, great atmosphere and service was good too
Love coming here, Chris and the team are great and always friendly making you feel welcome. Just what you want from your local!
I really liked it. Nice ale range, and a place to watch live sport, which this area has been missing. Food got a thumbs up from me. Will check out the quiz.
Nice food and good manager we come here regularly for our tea and always enjoy our visits
Lovely place lovely meal and lovely staff 👍 first time here and may be back, thank you
We all had a great time there on Saturday, where the Manager, Paul, made us all feel very welcome at at a surprise family party! The food was delicious & the entertainment was good too. Thank you for a fab evening all round in a lovely, friendly venue! 🎂🎉🥳 🍻🥂
Had a great meal from Allister the chef he could give Gordon Ramsey a run for his money
Very lovely and friendly service and the food was amazing. We were so pleased that it was dog friendly too!
Great friendly services by the staff all round food was very good even had dog treats for the dogs 👍👍👍
Lovely place, great food and decent prices. Would recommend any day to anyone. Best chicken burger around.
We booked a table for a festive meal. On arrival the table was set with a table cloth, crackers and santa hats. The festive menu was good value and the food was very good. We all had the turkey dinner. Thick slice of meat with all the trimmings. Very nice. The staff where very attentive and friendly. Will visit again.
Great atmosphere, full of life which was helped by the televised match between Everton and Manchester City. Dog friendly, full pub menu at proper pub prices, child friendly as well. Food was lovely and a free house as well serving good range of beers, wines and spirits as well as soft drinks. Shows that if pubs do what they can best then we don't need Wetherspoons.
Love this pub great manager and staff we go every week to quiz night on Sunday and midweek lunch, best pub in formby!
Good cosy atmosphere, quiet at the time of visit but good service and good food and drink.
I visited again yesterday (19/10/21) and the standard of service was just as good and the staff just as friendly and helpful.
Visited again on 20/6/22 and still the same friendly atmosphere and good food and service.
Food average but many things off the menu due to supply issues, friendly but pub clearly needs refurbishment and decoration. Dog friendly so it was great for us after a cold, windy walk along the dunes.
Their burgers are really good and staff very friendly. Awesome place to take your dogs. The only thing I would suggest is having some water bowls for the furbabies.
Lovely food and beer garden, we stayed for the quiz on Thursday night!
Lovely food, had the bbq wings and chicken chorizo skewers.
Great little stop after a long walk along the beach.
Dog friendly, welcoming staff and plenty of space.
Food is pub grub but done really well too, will be back again for a pit stop.
Great burger good portion cooked by chef Al
Prompt service, helpful and the food was good. What more can you ask?
This was our first meal out. Sat in the car to look at their menu online, downloaded the mypub app and starting to add our food choices.Then found a table outside(need a table number to complete order), paid and waited. Drinks were bought over really quickly. Food was surprisingly good, triple burger with cheese and bacon, fish n chips and a kids meal. We really enjoyed our meal, the beef patties were juicy in the burgers and the fish was lightly battered, not oily and fish was really fresh and thick. Manager and staff all lovely. The meal was 50% which was a really pleasant surprise too!! Thanks, we all enjoyed our meals.
Charming pub with friendly, attentive and accommodating staff. Food very tasty, great value and all arrived in great time. Thank you all for making our first trip to Formby a fantastic one. Will return when in the area.
Excellent food great atmosphere great
Brilliant nice food good family atmosphere.
Watched Liverpool beat Newcastle top night all round 👌
My initial review is below which I left a 2 star, and I feel I need to change my review!
We attended the weekend of the 25th September, as the family wanted to meet locally.
What a difference, the staff and management are attentive and personable, it was still busy for the time of day, but the staff kept coming over to let us know what was happening, particular staff went way above and beyond to make the visit brilliant.
Cannot compliment this visit enough and I have adjusted my rating according to how I find it now.
Clearly they have vastly improved and the new management are running this place spectacularly. Simply brilliant experience and well recommended!
Food was really good and everyone was happy. 5 stars for sure! Thank you very much!!
Historic review...... from 2018.....
Im really sorry for this, but I had to queue for 10 minutes to order food, the starter came with the mains, which was just crazy, my steak was far too well done, over medium when asked for rare, and I had to go and request a steak knife to actually eat my food.
Hopefully this is just teething problems, maybe give it 6 months and give it another go, but, no rush to go back at all.
To the manager.... track pants, nike tshirt and a pair of trainers isnt what I would have expected from a professional manager... given your staff are so well presented, maybe a leaf from their book is required??
We enjoyed our food here. The waitress, Caitlin, was really friendly. Prices good. Our dog had enough room to lie down (it was midday on a sunday though without a football match on). We would return if we were at Formby beach.
A lovely relaxing pub.
Well decorated.
Food and drink
Very nice and a good prices.
Staff friendly 😀
Now has new manager. He and his family run a happy pub with excellent bar staff. Food is great and reasonably priced. Their daily specials are wonderful value. For example, Wednesday's is a large slice of steak pie with chips, peas and gravy plus a pint of beer or glass of wine. Cost? An amazing £5.99! Better than Wetherspoons!
Lovely and homely feel! Excellent staff who are really passionate about service. The food was awesome and hearty. My new favourite pub, definitely by a long mile!
Excellent food and friendly staff
Food is excellent and very reasonably priced. Dog friendly, which is very important for us. Landlord very friendly and great staff.
Only complaint is some of the customers round the pool table area swearing is awful, no regard for children, they just don't care. We have to sit amongst them because we bring our dog.
Hopefully the manager will sort this out.
Found this pub after a day out, what a fantastic place! Really clean and tidy, excellent service and the food was awesome 👍
Lovely food and staff
Wonderful pub, very welcoming staff and the food was great. Will definitely be visiting again
Very slow service, so much that I had to wait 30 mins for a dessert because they forgot it. Poor menu, struggled to find a healthy option. One dish boasted 9 sausages - sounds like pure gluttony. Our meals were decent enough but service and menu let it down. Price was ok and was reflective of what was on offer.
The food was amazing, stopped on the way to the beach and pinewoods and I'm glad we did. Bartered halloumi instead of fish was lovely and am interesting take, the girl serving us was lovely and gave us directions to where we needed to go to next. Thank you! :)
For value for money the Pinewoods is excellent. Their daily specials are tasty and we'll cooked. We have tried two of their steak pie, chips, peas and a jug of gravy with a pint of John Smiths and a glass of white wine. Total cost only £11.95.
We haven't tried their breakfasts yet but note they are the same price as Wetherspoons.
Manager and staff are very friendly. Their efforts in making the pub a success are appreciated.
Myself and 3 friends enjoyed a belated birthday meal last night at the Pinewoods. We received a warm welcome from Kerry, we all had a curry and it was delicious and well presented. The staff are all friendly, the back ground music very pleasant , all in all a good night. We will defiantly return.
Good family pub with a pool table to keep our kids entertained, we love the food here and the staff are always amazing!
Just been for the first time since lockdown. Fantastic service, felt super-safe from the moment we walked in and lovely, very reasonably priced food! A great family pub.
Generally good friendly service and really nice food. For some bizarre reason, when ordering drinks at the bar, a cappuccino is treated like a food order, so instead of getting your drink with everyone else, you are lucky to receive it within half an hour. This happens every time, and is a little annoying as it appears that because it takes slightly longer to make, they think it's okay to not make it straight away, but rather serve some more customers, and fit in the cappuccino at their own convenience. Also, I used to order their all day breakfast, but it came out consistently with virtually uncooked sausages. Not just a preference issue, more a do I take the risk issue. So much so that I stopped ordering it. Having said all this, food is generally good, service generally good and friendly, and without the two issues would get 4 stars, even 5 on a good day
Impromptu visit after visiting friends nearby. Excellent food, drink and service in warm, cosy surroundings. Fantastic value for money. £11.98 for two meals, a pint and a glass of wine is amazing. We will return.
Nice pub, friendly staff. Food and beer Great.
Lovely food dog friendly and staff (Simone) is very helpful
Lovely pub. Staff very helpful they warmed the baby food up for my granddaughter. The food was nice but maybe because it was very busy it just wasn't as nice as I have heard. But I would go back
Excellent place. Manager very tentative, service superb, best pub food in Formby. Our favourite place - but does get full especially weekends so you may need to book a table. Give it a go it's well worth it.
Exceptional hot food. Quick and friendly service. Reasonable prices.
Lovely food, pub was busy but service was great. Popular with dog owners, this pub welcomes dogs which is great. Could do with a few bigger tables but this is a very minor niggle. Staff are lovely
We found this Gem whilst visiting formby on the way to the beach and decided to come back, great food, recommended the chicken wings, plenty of ales available to choose from will be back!
Third visit since the refurbishment a couple of weeks ago (review date October 2017); guess that shows how happy my wife and I are to keep coming back! The new management and bar staff are very friendly and courteous. This is an unpretentious local pub with very reasonably priced beers and wines. If there are 6 or more in the party then it's possible to book a table. Would recommend the Friday night menu which includes a drink as well - very reasonable indeed.
A positive development since new management came in is that dogs are now allowed in the non-food area. This should please many local people and tourist visitors to Formby.
There are several strategically placed TV's for those who enjoy watching sport while having a drink or pub meal. Football was being screened (thankfully with the volume tuned-off) during my visit. It's hoped pub management will appreciate clientele have mixed viewing needs when it comes to sport and that a rounded view i.e. not just football, should be on offer. A bingo night and a Poker night are also part of the itinerary.
Visitors to the area come from as far afield as Manchester and beyond. The Pinewoods is well placed as being the nearest pub in Formby to the beach and the National Trust nature reserve.
Very good value.
Excellent roast dinners.
Will return.

I was there on Friday...a few observations.
- Food ok but less "home made" than before.
- You need more staff. Waiting more than 10 mins to place a food order is not acceptable
- Your soda machine was broken and you tried to charge for bottled drinks...which is more.
I will come again but think you need to iron out these teething problems.
Lovely fish and chips lovely staff, will go back again
Really nice pub to visit, the staff were friendly and helpful, recommend a visit.
Good news that the pub has a new manager, returning to it's friendly atmosphere.
Service great and meal with family worth every penny.
Decent pub with good prices and some nice ales. Less one star for the frosty service.
The food and the staff are amazing. We had an amazing lunch there with very good food and environment. Totally recommended
A lovely & child friendly pub, the meals and desserts are absolutely mouth watering... AND if your a GIN lover, well there's plenty of flavours for you to choose from 👌
Great place for playing pool. Has a dart board too which is a bonus
Wonderful food but not for long. Pub has been sold to a pub chain. 18 Sept. Is change. Prepare for microwave food. My last visit will be 16th.
Had a family meal today. Absolutely delicious. The staff were lovely and friendly. We had a really nice time
