Blackpool Casino Restaurant: 2026 Dining Guide

Blackpool’s casino restaurants have evolved beyond basic bar food. The 2026 season introduces three new menus that combine classic British dishes with modern presentation, aimed at both day-trip visitors and overnight hotel guests.

Each venue maintains its own hours and reservation policy. The ground-floor grill operates from 11 a.m. until midnight, while the mezzanine seafood bar opens at 5 p.m. and accepts bookings only. A casual lounge menu is available 24 hours via room service for hotel residents.
