Adana Crosby in Knowsley

One of the oldest boozers in Kirkby is The Peacock Pub ,a pub I always enjoy dropping into as I live only around the corner from it. A traditional pub ,multi roomed ,pubby decor and furnishings ,big screens to enjoy the sport and lots of seating both inside and outside ,a lovely pub to unwind in. Dropped in here on a Thursday afternoon ,ordered guinness ,poured in the correct manner even allowing time for the all important settle ,my twin brother Ste and I chilled out and enjoyed our pints of the black stuff. My guinness was really good ,thick,creamy and most importantly served freezing cold ,a proper pint of guinness ,in my opinion the best guinness in Kirkby. We stayed here for two pints each before we moved on and as on every other visit to here we had a very pleasant time. The Peacock Pub is easy to locate along Bigdale Drive. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday,midday till 11pm. Well worth checking out if you're in the area.

So disappointed with how things have been cut back here. There seems to be less staff on, which is hugely disappointing to see. There is also now a strange push that everything is in takeaway packaging, even when eating in. Which for a cafe in the centre of a park, is extremely bad for the environment. Have been coming here for several years now, and it's really gone downhill fast. Having seen other Espositos across the boroughs, they don't seem to have the same issues of staff cutbacks and lack of basics like real cups and plates. All this just gives a very clear indication that Espositos doesn't really care about quality for the people of Kirkby. What a shame.

Ordered a birthday cake and it turned out amazing, would definitely recommend to anyone. Also you need to try the cupcakes.

Shopping is a pain to me ,I have to do it but I don't enjoy it ,it bores me but sometimes it's not such a bore,walking around Kirkby Market I purchased some great cheeses to go with some amazing craft beers I had purchased on a holiday over the Christmas period in Cologne & Dusseldorf ,after getting several cheeses I stopped by Fuel Stop Cafe in the market ,ordered a coffee that was served steaming hot and chilled out. Coffee served in here was spot on ,tasty,strong and great value for money,its hardly surprising that this cafe is so popular with coffee of this quality, its easy to locate in Kirkby Market in Kirkby Town Centre and well worth checking out if you're in the area.

One of the best hot chocolates I’ve had in a long long time! Gorgeous seats and a really pretty cafe
