What’s new on the map

A few exciting improvements have landed this month to make exploring Blackpool’s food scene even easier:

  • Locate Me – instantly centre the map on your current location and see what’s nearby in seconds. Perfect when you're out and deciding where to eat next.
  • New List View – an experimental card-based view for browsing venues when you’re in discovery mode.
  • Community Updates – you can now submit corrections or improvements to venue details, helping keep the map accurate for everyone.

On the ground in Blackpool

We’ve also been out reviewing venues in person, checking details and hunting down hidden gems to add to the map.

If your favourite spot hasn’t appeared yet, it’s probably on the list — new venues are being added regularly through public data, local reviews, and community submissions.

Blackpool Restaurant Week

Blackpool Restaurant Week kicks off in just a couple of days, bringing special menus and deals to restaurants across the town.

If you’re using the map during the event, open the filters and enable the event filter to quickly see participating venues.
