Went for food on Sunday, usually have the roast as it’s really good but they weren’t doing the roast. I had steak and ale pie and my partner had fish and chips. My pie was served up in its foil container and looked and tasted exactly like the frozen pies you get in a box in the supermarket. My partner’s fish also looked like it was out of a frozen box and his chips were dark brown and soggy. I’m sorry but if I want a frozen meal reheated I’ll cook at home and save myself £35. Will never visit again.

Popped in for Sunday lunch one afternoon. Everything was amazing from start to finish. Food, service, atmosphere. The pub is under new management. From what I hear they are a young family who have recently moved from another pub to here and what a change I have noticed already! They have added a small children's toy corner, colouring pads & crayons. The fridges are actually stocked with drinks for a change and it was nice to not see any glasses on top of beers because they were fully stocked! Have high hopes for this place going forward. It's a lovely local pub, just In need of the correct management.

We'd booked a table and turned up on time greeted by manager & sat at a table for 2 with RESERVED on. Thanks so much. Lovely charming young waitress asked us what we'd like right throughout our visit. Food took about 25 mins which is fab as you know its cooked to order. Very impressed with the portions and yeahhh served on hot plates. (That rarely happens these days) Charming bar staff. Very attentive. Lovely atmosphere in a country wooden framed pub/restaurant. Clientele very nice locals. Yes we will return, many thanks. The lighting is beautiful btw.

Such a lovely atmosphere and vibe. The pub is very homely and welcoming. I had the Turkey Sunday roast and I think it was genuinely the nicest I’ve ever had. My boyfriend had the smash burger and chips and he said everything about it was amazing, very good prices also! The service is amazing and the young girl who served us was lovely and helpful 10/10 recommend to everyone & we will be back again

It's not often service is exemplary but the team here are a shining example of this. Clearly not only did they show common sense, but have been trained well: they were just all so helpful and friendly. The veggie roast was a triumph and I left my coat which they insisted they would post on as I was back on the motorway heading for London. It's a gem. I look forward to a return visit when next in the Wirral. Highly recommended.

Chose this pub restaurant because it’s close to home and as I am a OAP with mobility issues. My friend and I were very pleased with the service, friendliness and the Dining Room is delightful, airy, comfy chairs and lovely view onto garden. If there was one complaint , I found it quite chilly in there, heating maybe had only just come on and as such a biggish room ,needed to be preheated. The food was really tasty and reasonable, I had the fish, chips & peas. Gorgeous fish with really lovely batter, crisp and great home made chips. My friend had Katsucurry which she declared had great flavour but parts of the chicken breast were a bit tough. But all in all great food great staff, we will be returning again soon.

Really difficult birthday Sunday lunch. Only one other couple in the restaurant when we arrived. Not a lot of atmosphere. Clean tables and lots of choice where to sit. The menu was paired back, had basic choices but nothing exactly tempting. Staff smiling but needed reminding about the Cake, knife and plates!! Over priced, we didn't have starters, puddings or wine.

We arrived and was informed there was no kitchen (I'm assuming they meant staff) and that they hadn't had their laptop to be able to see bookings. Was very friendly and apologetic but definitely shouldn't have been able to book a table through the website.

First time coming since new ownership. Felt very welcome on arrival. Good choice on the menu and reasonable price. Food was delicious.
