Andy's Snack Bar in Sefton

What a lovely little find this place is. Great home cooked food and an absolute bargain for £6.50 for a full home cooked pie meal, cup of tea and a homemade cake. Staff are lovely and well organised for such a small place. I think this is our new favourite place to eat when we visit Southport again. People were queuing to be seated for the lunch time rush, so get there early!

Called for lunch with my wife, we both had his special lunch time meal deal, home made pie, chips mushy peas and a sweet with a cup of tea, the food was excellent, quick service and price fantastic, cannot fault.

Very nice breakfasts with toast, tea or coffee, all very clean and tidy Very friendly very much recommend here just up the road from Travelodge

Husband and I went for breakfast, hubby ordered full breakfast and asked toast and jam for me with( no butter on toast, )breakfast came then my toast swimming in butter with jam on top ,hubby took it back and Andy very rude said to husband should have asked for dry toast, hubby said I said no butter ,he took the toast of him, hoping to get some more toast but no , not even offered a refund . Will never ever go in this Snack Bar again.

A great wonderful cafe ,friendly and welcoming and open early.

You have got to try this family run snack bar Fantastic food and drinks professional services and cheap as chips 🍟 👌 😀

Lovely breakfast staff were friendly

Cheap place to eat.... but food is really tasty ... home made pies n desserts ... can't beat it ... £6.50 for pie , chips , beans n gravy ... Staff r real friendly and pleasantly helpful ... If I could give it a rating outta 10 ....it'd b 20....

Turned up and there were 3 empty tables. We were refused service because only 3 out of 4 of us were eating. No other reason. Very poor service, very hostile attitude from the bonehead behind the counter. Also wouldn’t honour a request for just chips. I won’t be giving this place a 2nd chance.

Revisited Andy's after cycling in Southport. It was mid morning & pretty quiet but more people arrived as we were dining. Love the retro vibe of the place and people were very welcoming & friendly. Ordered 2 x meals at £6.50 each. Had one each of the meat pie & the meat & potato pie. One with mushy peas & one with beans. Both served with chips & gravy. For sweets, we had a cherry pie & an almond slice & couldn't resist another couple - a chorley cake & an egg custard. A cup of tea comes with the meal & we were able to change one of them to a Vimto. The pies were served piping hot with freshly-fried chips. We liked all the sweets esp the almond slice & egg custard. The filling of the cherry pie was nice & tart and there was a generous amount of currants in the currant cake. Overall, we enjoyed Andy's, a no-frills, friendly establishment!

Andys cafe i have been going here since the 1980s.its consistantly good food and a brill cup of tea the staff serve you quickly and its reasonably priced meat pie chips and gravy and cheese and onion toastie for the wife and a homemade egg custard One tea and Hot choclate. WELL DONE STAFF i don't need to sign my name they will Know my order

Great breakfast and very reasonable prices. Bought 2 meat pies to take out. Best Meat pies ever. Will definitely be back next time in Southport.

Typical cafe fare. The food was great and arrived piping hot. Efficient service with homemade pies and tarts which are excellent. There isn’t much seating as it’s quite a small cafe.

Never had a chance to eat in here. The boss was rude to my disabled husband and shouted at his service dog. Then sprouted lies when challenged. This man discriminates veterans and service dogs.

Our favourite cafe in Southport. Hubby loves their homemade cheese and onion pie with homemade chips, beans and gravy. A mug of tea plus a home made cake all just just £6.50. A lovely clean cafe with efficient friendly staff. It is cash only. But morrisons is a 2 min walk away cash machine n parking there.

Decent,old fashioned cafe. Food is home made and we both enjoyed our meals.

Outstanding service quality food fantastic price nice friendly family owned place to visit A++

Fantastic food, great food and homely atmosphere!

Lovely breakfast. And visited next day as well

Had lunch today and really enjoyed really good home cooked food at an excellent price. Very friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere.

Best place ever been ĝoing For years credit to southport

Great breakfast that was well cooked, will be visiting again.

Superb olde skool cafe. Cracking breakfast served with a smile. Very clean and tidy. Nice chitchat with other diners. Could do with taking cards, though.

Just had Meat and Potato pie and chips at Andy’s Snack Cafe, which was delicious. The pastry is without doubt the finest I have ever tasted. The Cafe has been going since 1961. Certainly one of Southport’s hidden treasures. I give Andy’s 5 stars for the excellent service that they provide.

I have enjoyed coming here before and the welcome was very good. I decided to have the English breakfast with toast and tea and a bottle of water. £6.95 . As I sat enjoying my breakfast it started to get busy. To watch the a professional at work remembering all the orders with out writing it down. A few minutes later everyone got the correct roll and their teas and coffees. Well done and thank you.

Great place for breakfast, good value, friendly service, around the corner from Travelodge and dog friendly too. Great full English.

Great family run place excellent food nice local atmosphere...brill service from all...well worth a visit...Best custards and pie in town...

Amazing! The meat and potato pie was savory and the pastry flaky. The chips are made in the Cafe and are cooked perfectly! Will definitely make it a "must visit" when we come over from Canada.

Went in whilst visiting Southport. The menu was ridiculously expensive and the place was a right sty. We considered not ordering food but had been out for a while and fancied a quick bite. We asked if they could do a sausage sandwich which we were told yes we asked if we could have it between 3 pieces of bread to which we were told a hard ‘No’ we asked if we could order 2 sandwiches and assemble it ourselves and were again told no. I don’t know why we couldn’t do that but the attitude the man had was ridiculous can’t say as the staff were sociable at all and very rude. All other customers were old so probably couldn’t here the horrible remarks the man working here makes whilst serving them.

I visited Andy's Snack Bar a few times whilst on holiday with my little one last week, always had service with a smile, tasty food, and perfect location in correspondence to where we were staying. If I ever go back to Southport, I'd definitely visit again

Andy's Cafe the full English breakfast beans,bacon,sausage, egg,he could do better with fried black pudding,mushrooms,and fried Tomato, I think it will do a lot better for your money the toast is plenty and coffee is very good.from Adrian

We recommend this cafe to everyone. Staff are great, food cooked to order so fabulous, pies are famous as well as delicious. Go and have breakfast or lunch or even one of their custards with a tea or coffee - you won't be disappointed!!!

Absolutely delicious home made food and the price is amazing..only £6.50 for all this

Best cafe in Southport... Lovely food would recommend to anyone...

What a cafe ! Really nice staff great food and very reasonable - a gem. Nothing too much trouble - see my healthy option, poached eggs and bacon delicious. Thanks guys.

These kinds of places need to protected at all costs. Honest and fantastic. Everything home made. Hospitable patrons. Thanks!

We know it was 1pm, but asked for 2 breakfasts(it was what we fancied). Paid for them, man who was cooking was overheard saying "Breakfasts! 1pm!" + shook his head twice!!!! But it would have been ok to have bacon,sausage, egg+chips or beans on toast. But we didn't want CHIPS! WHATS THE DIFFERENCE - SAME FOOD??? Need to stipulate you can't have breakfast after a certain time, but you can have ALL the same food, just don't call it BREAKFAST!!! Three staff - no facemasks.

My family all love Andys as the pies and pastries are absolutely delicious! I even bought a selection of their favourites from Andys for my parents at Christmas, Craig at Andys was so helpful and made the gift just perfect, thanks Craig. If you haven't tried Andys yet, make it a new year resolution to go soon and support a local gem in Southport's crown! The highest recommendation 😀

Had breakfast here a couple of times while on holiday. Cheap and cheerful good service with friendly staff.

Traditional, family run cafe which has been a favourite with locals and visitors "in the know" for years. Never lets you down....and the homemade chips are special.

Fantastic pie's and pudding and great cooked breakfast a family snack bar since 1961 everyone should pop in when you're in Southport.

Great breakfast staff lovely will recommend to anyone going to Southport. Apple tart best I've had lovely pastry and just the right amount of filling.

'Full breakfast' was anything but...small plate; one egg, two skinny sausage fair size bacon, beans - nothing else, that was it. Small and under whelming - overpriced for what you receive. Hard to see why it is so highly reviewed.

Great food , staff friendly. Will definitely go back

Pies are delicious, friendly people

Went on a recommendation. I wasn't disappointed. The menu was of course limited under the circumstances but never the less served up by pleasent staff in a clean environment. When your next in Southport. Give it a try.

Always good home made pies and cakes. The staff are, very helpful and friendly

Stumbled across this lovely little cafe today when we came out of B & Ms,and looking for somewhere for lunch,love little places like this everything homemade we had the pie special with chips & peas,large cup of tea & a cake,£5:45 unbelievable value,delicious homemade pies,fabulous chips & my little apple tart was delicious.Also two lovely very friendly gentlemen running the place.We are here for 2 nights we might call in again before we go home.Very clean too.

We came to Southport on a day trip on one of the wettest days of the year! We discovered Andy's quite by accident. We had been to B&M and because of covid rules had to come out of the back door. We passed "Andys" and my friend asked if I wanted another cup of tea I said no! We walked to the front of the store and my friend looked over and said "OOHH they do home made cakes over there". We went back! What a friendly warm clean place it was and the cakes were absolutely delicious. We got a custard and an almond slice and shared them (because we couldn't make our minds up). Gorgeous!!! I took the same back to treat our coach driver. Only after we had enjoyed the cakes did we discover we could have had home made pie chips and gravy cup of tea and a cake for £5.45! I will be back!! There was also a varied menu if you were daft enough not to want to sample the lovely home baked food!

Been visiting Andy's for decades. Howard carries the mantle handed to him by his parents before him, traditional homemade outstanding fresh food, whether it be the meat pie, chips & gravy or the fantastic custard or cakes, you won't go wrong at Andy's! Keep up the great work Howard!

All homemade food cheap and cheerful

Very good quality food and service always very good

Homemade pies and cakes are first class at this same family run business since the 60's

My wonderful mum always visited Andy’s cafe . She took me there . When I had my daughter we all went together . We have many happy memories of visiting Southport and they have always involved visiting Andy’s cafe . My mum always got a pie and egg custard to take home with her for the next day . My mum always said “ they make the best custard tarts ever “ I have to second that. Myself and husband always visit when we come to Southport and will be visiting very soon . It’s a family tradition that’s about 35 + years ongoing we love it . See you soon .

Friendly staff great food good prices love the homemade pie will be calling again

Fantastic pies and cakes. Sadly can’t visit the cafe in lockdown conditions...but had a few orders done for collection. Delicious home made pastry. Can’t fault anything really. Highly recommended.

Very friendly staff. Simple food

Always made welcome great service been going there for years thanks

Today we went to Andy's Snack Bar for breakfast. It was the first time and we were pleased with the quality of the food (excellent tasty sausages unlike most places), great value (two breakfasts and two hot drinks for £9) and excellent service. The only thing that surprised me was that hash browns weren't an option on the menu but that is just a minor point. It is worth noting that breakfast is discounted by £1 per person before 1100 so if we had been 20 minutes later we would have had an extra £2 to find!

It is lovely and clean food is made fresh and made to feel welcome and it is value for money and the place I love to go when I am in southport

Very clean good food and friendly staff good prices

Friendly, good breakfast, famous pies!

I`ve been a regular at Andy`s Snack Bar for 13 years and their standards have not slipped one bit in that time.They have a very loyal following - my Uncle has been going for 40 years!Whether eating-in or taking-away, the food, service & value for money are second to none.Family-owned and it shows. Spotlessly clean and with an eagerness to serve.It`s as if the staff know most of their customers by name!My favourite dish is 2 x fried eggs, chips, beans & cooked ham.All freshly cooked to order.The chips are beautiful - homemade in the traditional way. Such a rarity these days.And the homemade pies are excellent too. Meat, Potato & Meat, or Pork. Take your pick, they are all delightful.The prices are very fair.PRO TIP: park in Morrisons supermarket car park just 100 yards away - you get 3 hours free parking.

Great service lovely home made pies lovely staff

Great. Good food, prices and friendly staff

Wanted somewhere for lunch and stopped by at Andy’s snack bar and so glad we did. We had the offer of Homemade Pie, chips, peas with coffee and cake. So tasty!Family run business and it’s clear they work so hard at making homemade pies. The cakes too are homemade.Lovely family that run the cafe.

looking for a late morning snack and came to andy's. place, was very busy so it must be popular. food was good value and large portions, friendly staff and quick service, will come here again

Always the same lovley food and service

A friendly little cafè where the food is all home made, and fresh daily. Well worth a visit.

Handmade pies and pastries fantastic, thin yet crispy pastry baked to perfection. Excellent value Meat pie, homemade chips and mushy peas with gravy, tea, coffee and following by individual apply tart and egg custard (tasted just like mum used to make)Highly recommend this traditional cafe for cleanliness, friendly staff and edible food of high quality. Gets very busy we ate lunch at 1140 and by 1205 all tables taken. Good take away trade in pies and pastries also.

Great place food always great not been going since 1961 for nothing

The food here is really nice. Portions aren't over large, but great for lunch. Beeen a few times, and always pop in now when in Southport.

Very good indeed, good staff food and very clean, will call again.😆

It’s been said in other reviews but it is a traditional cafe. Nothing fancy just good homemade, freshly cooked cafe food. Always busy so sometimes it’s hard to get a table.

Clean cafe with a good selection of traditional cafe food - we had full english for £5.50 - bargain and better quality than our hotel. It was all nicely cooked and not at all greasy.

Best custard tarts definitely home made

Love it here , I go every week for the pie and chips offer awesome

Absolutely lovely place and staff. Not massive portions enough so you can fit dessert in too. All home cooked food. Proper chips and service with a smile. Across the road side on to B&M Bargains brilliant bit of shopping after parking in B&M Bargins car park £2 upto 4hrs excellent. You can shop then call at Andy's for a brew and a bite to eat. Very good prices. Other day got homemade meat pie (yummy) chips and mushy pies, mug of tea and a cake to finish £5.95 brilliant. Andy's a local so come on in and support our local businesses you wont be disappointed. Yum yum.

The pie and chips are the best ever, all homemade and the vanilla sponge is gorgeous but then all the food is! The café is so clean and the staff are all so friendly and helpful, I wouldn't go anywhere else in Southport. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed

Great to find the place is still open - brought Mum here as this is where she met my Dad back in 1963 - where it all began! Good British fare in a traditional cafe at reasonable prices. Pie n chips, full English breakfast and ham and cheese toastie.

Best cafe in southport food excellent

Absolutely Fantastic place to eat... All Home made food... Highly recommended...

Awesome place all home made stuff never had a bad meal here

Homemade pies and egg custard are amazing !

Best little Cafe in Southport. Good food and good customer service. Will visit again when I'm back in Southport.

A place for good home cooked food, at very affordable prices. Been family run since the 1960's and is still there. A good place.

Probably the most laid back breakfast bar in and around southport, fast service great food, amazing staff. Sounds like its been around for a handfull of generations and I can understand why.

Good food. Basic menu of breakfast or pie and chips. Very friendly staff. Reasonably priced.

It's like going back to the 60's. Chips, pie, mushy peas etc. Food ok if not a little bland, but in saying this it is very popular with the pensioners and is very busy.

Called in recently having not visited in many years. Very Impressed, very clean and fresh, great friendly helpful service. The frothy coffee is great and the food all very nice and well priced. Great place for breakfast or lunch and the service is very quick. Will be returning this week.

A hearty (full english) breakfast for a resonable price with friendly staff. What would you want more? A nice and clean seating area! Here you find everything. Thanks!

Best pies around! Haven’t had anything else from there. Always order hot pies and then cold to go in the freezer. Cafe is quite small and place seems to be very busy. Staff are lovely and friendly. They just dont seem happy if you order more than 4 pies. (Family of 5!) Always look forward to going to Southport for their pies!

Food lovely and home made staff great

We came here for a quick bite and were pleasantly surprised. It seems the pie lunch deal is very popular and it tasted nice. All home cooked and super quick service. It’s a family owned business and they are super friendly and basically lovely. It’s a basic but clean venue.

great place, limited seating but worth waiting for a table , very reasonable and great food, very quick service. nice staff too

Have been calling in at Andy's snack bar for nearly 20 years now. It is only a small cafe but lovely and clean. If in a car u can park on the roadside and pay on metre don't chance it as there are traffic wardens always in southport. Personally we park at b and m have our breaky then do a shop in b and m you get a ticket on car park. Back to Andy's. We have the full breakfast which includes tea and toast or 30p more for coffee which I had it came in a mug and was lovely milky and hot. The bacon is lovely and lean and sausage tasty not huge but good quality. Eggs are so good lovely yellow yolk and tasty. Cooked just how I like it soft and runny. You have beans too. But what is the best is that when ever u call in the breaky is always the same. Continuity is the word for it I only wish I could take the cafe back to my home. It is a gem and easily missed. The pies they sell also are home made and egg custards too are yummy. You can buy them to take home. It is nice to see a family run establishment in this day and age continuing in southport. See u again soon

Had a really good lunch here. Meat pie, peas, gravy, chips, cup of tea and a custard tart all for £5. Great home cooked food. Very allergy aware as they make all the food, they know what is in it. Which is rare. Lovely polite staff, family business I believe. Will definitely return and highly recommend.

Visited andys snack bar twice in October, Great freshly cooked breackfast including a cup of tea £4.20 Walked from the premier inn and it was well worth it,

I used to live in Southport and always had a weekly visit here, the pies really are great, the pastry always cooked to perfection and well filled. They also make home made custard,apples tarts etc, again quality second to none. Although I now live many miles away I will often find an excuse to visit my old stomping ground just for a pie and custard 😊😊

Some one has already said it. The pie chips peas with a cake and a cup of tea for £5 can't be beaten. Owner starts work at 4am to make everything himself and its all good.Nice people working there. Hope it doesn't get too busy so we can't get seat. Shut at 3 PM.
