Basset Hound in Wirral

Very nice, but a bit pricey for drinks.

So what a fantastic place when pubs say they are dog friendly it’s always just that they allow dogs in ect but this place is dog happy think his name is anton the manager made us feel welcome and the dogs have a menu too plus countless free biscuits and water , the food for humans was delicious we have been a few times but always forget to leave a review so after today’s positive visit with our new puppy I feel it’s best to share our experience we will be going back all the staff not just anton we’re fantastic people

Nice pub, food was nice & staff friendly but it was a l9ng tine to wait for our food. Tried to use a Pub voucher also which had £20 on to be told it wasn't valid. Just checked when I got home and it was valid. So I'm £20 down now.

First time we visited this pub. It had a nice atmosphere and we couldn’t fault the staff. However, there should have been some warning about the change in menu and lack of food. They only had a choice of 3 starters and around 5 mains. If we had known this we wouldn’t have gone here for our meal. We also didn’t receive two of the items we ordered.

My family and I booked in for a meal last night. This was our first visit and we all agreed we will definitely be back. From the excellent service to the food there is nothing to complain about. Will definitely be back

This is a lovely cosy pub and our absolute favourite place for a Sunday roast (and we've had a lot in various places). We've been here 30+ times and never had anything but perfect until today. The roast was just not up to their usual standard, but it was rectified without a fuss straight away by Anton. Every establishment will have bad days or make mistakes. I think here was just busier than they expected to be today. How its handled, and their usual performance is what's important. Absolutely well done to everyone in the basset today who had clearly worked hard but still had a lovely, positive attitude when serving us

First time we have been and will go again. Food was good. Deputy manager served us. She was great, we would go again just to be looked after by her. Sorry I did not get her name but needs a pat on the back for excellent service, nice person, good at what she does.

This is a lovely Pub, but went today just for a drink took my son and daughter in law who are visiting from Canada. Was going to eat also but sat outside and could not believe how dirty the garden looked. The garbage bin was overflowing and hadn’t been emptied it looked like for a few days.All the tables were sticky and loaded ashtrays around plus the one going in the front door full to the brim as was that garbage also. Three toilets had no flush and no toilet paper. All in all very disappointed so instead we went to The Fox and Hounds, what a difference. Everything was spotlessly clean and everything else was perfect. Sorry Bassett Hound but you need to clean up your act, I would not recommend it.

Called in on off chance for lunch I had open sandwich was great husband had sausage and mash really enjoyed very good price and attentive staff

Went for a meal on a Saturday around 7:30 pm the restaurant was very quiet for a Saturday night so easily managed to get a table for 5 of us. The staff are very pleasant and took our order for drinks and a starter which was very good , main course not so good Two of us ordered the steak and ale pie , our food when it arrived was only warm not hot, considering the place was quiet it shouldn't have been difficult to serve up hot food. The pie was basically gravy with virtually no meat but we were all hungry so carried on eating but two of us barely touched our food . I did address the issue with the waitress and the two meals were taken off the bill. We would have been more than happy to pay for everything had our main course been satisfactory. Overall excellent service from waiting on staff food only average though.

Friendly service in a Greene King pub.

Instead of having an evening meal to celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary we decided to have a change and go for a mid afternoon meal instead. Wife decided upon the Basset Hound in Thingwall. We booked a table on line which was simple. Upon arrival we were greeted and showed to our table. We were not rushed to decide what we wanted from the extensive menu. The food was delicious, hot, fresh and well presented. All the staff were friendly attentive and looked as though they enjoyed their roles. Cannot find anything negative to say.

Enjoyable early evening meal with family. Very reasonable priced, better than average pub food with friendly service. Would go again.

Food was great and at a good price. The staff were friendly. The environment was pleasant and lively. Couldn't really ask for more

The bench seats outside are uncomfortable. But good service

Great friendly staff. Wonderful dog menu.

We went for ann evening meal which was very nice. The staff were helpful and very efficient. I would recommend for good value.

Food was a little slow in arriving but very tasty and decent size portions...we will revisit again definitely...

I booked my mum’s wake here and I cannot praise the staff enough the food was excellent My brother was praising the sausage rolls The vegetarians were also very happy. The family and friends had come from all over the country and the staff were very sensitive to our needs They just let us chat and chat but they were there if needed

Outstanding as usual , assistant manager really went out of her way to make sure we were happy with everything

Dropped in here this afternoon for a quick pint at the end of our walk. Service was quick with no waiting and staff were pleasant and helpful. Plenty of seating available. Reasonable selection of beers, but unfortunately they had only one real ale. Will have to return to try out the food. Seems like a nice quiet pub. Returned to try out the food. Ordered steak and cheese baguette with soup. Service was reasonably fast and it was a very nice lunch. Would recommend it.

Love this place. Sunny day, so we sat outside with the puppy. Really lovely old world atmosphere. Food well cooked. Staff v pleasant.

I was there for after a funeral. The quality and quantity of food offered was good, and there was plenty of space for us to catch up and reminisce.

Very comfortable premises, service was excellent and food lovely.

Had a beautiful meal tonight for our anniversary.. food was beautiful .. service was fantastic by lovely staff .. very pleasant definitely recommend this pub

Enjoyed a perfect lunch with a friend. Staff and service perfect a truly lovely venue for any time at all.

Have eaten here as a family and the truffle soup is to die for . The food is outstanding and I was recently at a wake here and can I say its honestly the best buffet I've ever had , hats off to the chef and staff at this beautiful cosy pub that makes you crave more 🤤

Unlike other place I have left a review for the Basset Hound was excellent. The service was very good, the staff polite and the food was excellent. I had the Asian Curry, it was brilliant and I left well fed.

Lovely food, very attentive staff. Haven't been for sometime but will be back. Thank you

Enjoyed a delicious meal with my friend for a birthday treat. As someone who doesn't 'do' carrots, my taste buds were changed! A really great meal for me and my friend. I had the Chicken and ham hock pie and my friend had cheese and bacon burger. Lovely service too by all of the staff.

Lovely food and friendly attentive staff

Amazing food and amazing service

Duty manager Mary really friendly and good at her job. Food very tasty and filling. Not small portions at all. Burger and lamb shank.

Lovely place. Nice friendly staff. Food delicious. 10/10

Lovely meal once again. Good size portions as well. The waitresses were polite and attentive. 3 starters, 3 mains, 4 pints, 1 bottle of red wine and a bottle of prosecco all for just over £100. Quite reasonable in my mind.

Very disappointed with the food, I had salmon a bit small but okay. My mother had lasagne, which was very dry, no sauce and the pasta was not cooked enough. When we complained to the waitress, she said it's not our fault, it's brought in from an outside supplier. Shocked with that reply, hence won't be going there again.

Excellent food and excellent service We were a group of 10 ladies not one complaint. A lot of us asked for Eton mess which wasn't on the menu. But they made sure we got one . Nothing was too much trouble. They served us with a smile. When our mains arrived they were piping hot. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend a visit if you're in the area.

Lovely summer evening, watching the traditional Morris Dancing, with the sun slowly going down behind the trees, feeling very English, friendly, and peaceful. Pub well maintained and welcoming, outdoor seating, large car park (but by no means empty!) Electric car charging points available.

I was at this pub for a funeral yesterday. The buffet food was delicious. A really sad occasion but the staff were attentive and it has a lovely atmosphere. Many thanks.

Lovely food x the staff are great love going there

Went to a wake and the food was superb. Nice drinks with a great service.

Visited here last Saturday with family and our doggie.we were greeted with a friendly welcome from the staff and told where we could sit with our pet pooch.theres a doggy beer barrel (water) by the entrance which we all thought was a lovely touch. The food arrived quite promptly which was a burger,2 x hunters chicken and the pork belly with rice which I must say was piping hot and absolutely devine! All my family thoroughly enjoyed their's aswell.£65 for 4 yummy hot meals and drinks altogether and fabulous service! well worth it.we'll definitely be back in the near future and thoroughly looking forward to it!

Wanted to go somewhere nice with my daughter & bestie so my friend suggested here as she often goes, fed up of eating out at places, especially highend restaurants and being disappointed with food/service, I was pleasantly surprised here, food was lovely and fresh, compliments to the chef, staff were friendly and the pub had a welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely be going back. It has put my faith back into 'pub grub'.

Went for a Sunday roast with my wife and 1 yr old son and the meal was delicious they always mash up the roast for my lil one which is a bonus

Great service from Anton. Food spot on,leading my fussy son to claim best burger he has had . Nice,welcoming atmosphere. Give it a try.

Been to the Bassett Hound a few times recently. Always a warm reception, great service and good food. We had the Sunday roast, all fresh, all very tasty. Hope to be back soon.

We visited today for lunch. It was very busy but the service was swift. We ordered the steak and cheese melt ciabatta and a side of fries. It came with a lovely pea shoot and rocket side salad, tomatoes, cucumber and a light dressing. There was lots of cheese and plenty of steak with caramelised onions. It was really delicious and would certainly order that again. The fries were hot and well seasoned. We would definitely recommend this for lunch.

Went for Sunday lunch was very tasty & vegetables cooked to perfection.

Sunday roast is fabulous here. We go here quite frequently for our Sunday lunch. Lovely place with brilliant team of staff. Service is excellent.

I had my husbands wake there. I was very pleased with the whole set up.

Highly recommend the Bassett Hound excellent for food, service and ambiance. We had a funeral wake on 20th March and we were very impressed by the selection and quality of the buffet food provided. The staff were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. We will be back to eat from the pub menu but look no further for a lovely place to gather with loved ones following a Landican service. Kath & Barry

Love this place the lighting level is so atmospheric properly creates that cozy mood and the staff fantastic always so friendly

5 out of 5 excellent service always very friendly come here regularly with family and friends and always fantastic quick service

Not good sirloin steak was awful will not ho again

Great to be back in the Bassett for the new quiz!!! Great evening and a really good quiz too.

False advertising if anything. Beef was overdone, stuffing was inedible, potatoes were like frozen aunt Bessie’s and carrots were black. On the plus note gravy was tasty and Yorkshires were nice.

Great quick and friendly service by Kay and Beth, really enjoyed our meals too. Good quality at a good price. Well worth a visit

Dropped by for a drink with friends after a walk around Arrowe Park. Nice cosy place with friendly staff.

Spur of the moment dinner with grandson, granddaughter and great grandson. A truly impromptu decision by me.To celebrate our granddaughters scan results, that evening. The team at the Basset, Kay, Amy and Josh made feel very welcome. The food arrived promptly and was delicious. A lovely end to our day. Thanks to all

Have visited this pub a few times, suppose it depends when you visit, myself and my friend ordered a chicken ceaser salad, which came very efficiently, but was tasteless, horrid greasy croutons and over cooked chicken and strong salad dressing, I had to ask for clean cutlery, it’s a shame because it’s not a bad place, and the prices are reasonable but would be happy to pay a bit more for and all round better experience

Food quite nice. Long wait but bad language was inappropriate with a 4 year old nearby.

6 of us went in for some lunch before the football last Saturday, everyone loved the food and said how good it was. The beer was spot on and the staff were really friendly, this was our 1st visit and we are not from the area but were made to feel very welcome, we will definitely be back.

Attended a wake. Well looked after. Very comfortable. Food was excellent.

Lovely pub nice country feel to it, staff are fantastic and very friendly. Could do better on the Vegan options, other than that very nice.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Staff seem to think it’s okay to cause arguments with customers, even getting physically violent. Wouldn’t recommend if you don’t enjoy being physically threatened by members of staff.

Great to be able to find a table at short notice on a Sunday. Staff very helpful and service was quick. Just a couple of minor things stop me from giving a 5 star review. The roast dinners - roasties weren't great - not crispy, a bit cardboardy, seemed like they'd been kept warm for ages. The beef was supposed to be pink but it wasn't - it was cooked right through.

After an appointment at the hospital, decided to have lunch before heading home. We both had the mushroom soup and a butty, fish goujons and a avocado and chicken......mmmmm very yummy. And the waitress...Beth was so lovely. She was helpful and attentive.....thankyou Beth. Even though we are from liverpool, we will certainly make the journey to The Basset Hound again. P.s....well done on keeping cash!!!!

I was here for a funeral, the buffet was very good and the staff were very professional.

Lovely place to eat always fast service very attentive and just a delight all round I would deffo recommend the chicken pie its delicious

The basset Hound is perfect to go when you’re looking for a delicious meal. We arrived and were seen to straight away by the lovely staff that work there. We all had a wonderful time!!

Clearly they were understaffed today. Waited 40 mins for our one course meal. Had to ask twice for a drink. Not very impressed to be honest.

visited last night - lovely warm pub w great food and great staff ! def worth a visit

We chose Basset Hound for a Wake for a member of my family. Kay organised it all for us and was friendly and very helpful. She even met my dad early on the day so that he could set up one of the rooms with photos etc. We really appreciated that so much. The (3) rooms were clean, tidy and all the food and drinks had been laid out beautifully for us. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed all the refreshments and the warm and welcoming atmosphere. It was absolutely ideal for what we needed. All the staff on the day were also very kind and helpful. The separate area also afforded us the privacy needed for this occasion. Lots of parking on the pub site as well. Thank you very much to everyone at The Basset Hound Pub. We would thoroughly recommend for family functions.

We booked here for a special family occasion in the Oak Room recently, opting for the buffet menu. The quality of the food and service was outstanding and special mention must go to Kay who looked after us oh so very well on the day, she made it wonderful for us. We will be back.

Good friendly service but food wasn't great eg my mushy peas were really hard, friends chicken burger wasn't a burger! A cold winters evg, a lovely fireplace but no fire....cheap electric fan heaters scattered around. Only one ipa at I think £6 a pint

Eight of us went for a family meal, Saturday 13th January. The food was delicious and to top it off I have coeliac disease, the choice was very good and although I wasn't keen on my main, the starters and dessert was fab. I can't thank the staff enough, Kay, Josh and Amy helped make our yearly treat fabulous, they were warm, welcoming and so helpful, especially Kay. We will definitely be back and better still the Basset Hound dog friendly so next time we'll take our dog with us.

Brilliant evening but short staffed. The girl behind the bar worked her socks off. Hope she was well paid.

We had a superb afternoon meal served by the wonderful attentive Kay who makes every visit a pleasure. Food wonderful and quick service

Great service tonight from Josh !!!! Very efficient, polite and knowledgeable. Hope to return soon, hoping Josh is working

Lovely meal here once again. The service was impeccable, polite, friendly, and efficient. Portions were large. The cajun chicken burger was an absolute delight. Well worth a visit.b

Had an awesome meal with the family tonight. My Mum (88) has been housebound for 6 months and this is the placd she chose for her first meal Great food and excellent service

It's a nice place but I think they must have been understaffed as tables were being cleared by new customers and the heating wasn't on....this was at 6pm Friday 22nd December. I haven't rated food as didn't have any as was just dropping in for a swift beer with a good auld boy. I would go back to hopefully see improvement as it's a great pub.

Popped in on the off chance. Food was good and reasonably priced. Staff are lovely and made to feel very welcome

Fantastic Boxing Day lunch. Really friendly atmosphere, lovely and warm and cosy. Dog friendly double bonus. Great and varied menu, I enjoyed the risotto and my mother and sister had the sea bass. Excellent service. We will certainly return. Thank you for an enjoyable visit.

The service and the food was excellent. And for the amount of food that we all ordered I could not belive the final bill. Great quality 100%, recommend

What a lovely place! We were greeted by a lovely lady and seated promptly. We were served by 2 ladies one with long black hair and one with ginger hair and both were so polite, big smiles nothing was too much trouble, we were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the food was absolutely spot on! If you like lamb you'll LOVE the lamb shank here! We had starter's mains and couldn't say no to a sweet treat to finish off. Lovely atmosphere very friendly to all customers that were around us aswell as us, I think we have found our new favorate place to go! Thank you for an absolutely lovely experience.

Cosy atmosphere. Staff were helpful and friendly. On this occasion I didn't eat but the food coming from the kitchen looked amazing. I'll be going back. Invited back by our Daughter who is a frequent visitor. We had the sharing platter and a steak cooked medium. Both were perfectly cooked. There was a nice friendly family atmosphere at 8pm on a Friday evening and all the staff were very friendly and went out of their way to help. Like i said above, we will be going back.

First time and definitely won't be the last

Visiting my I laws and always enjoy a visit to the Basset Hound lovely a wonderful pub

We’ve been sitting here for an hour with the whole family. . Asked multiple times if they had our pre order and just, for the first time had someone come to the table to let us know they didn’t have any details. Don’t think we’ll...

There was 10 of us for xmas dinner. Although there was a little mix up on serving times the food was excellent. The staff worked so hard to make our day special and we all enjoyed our meals. Thankyou for a lovely time.

Me and my children attended for breakfast with Santa. The breakfast was delicious,atmosphere was great and staff were friendly and accommodating. Santa was brilliant with the children. Thank you.

We had an amazing experience here last night the staff are always so lovely laughing and joking with with everyone, its so lovely to see how close they are but including everyone in the building aswell the seabass was to die for could not recommend...

Ordered a burger meal the chips were ok, but the burger was awful had a weird taste to it, didn't taste like a burger , food is very basic, I wouldn't recommend this place.

We had a last minute booking for Breakfast with Santa. It was such a lovely experience for my family. ‘Santa’ really made a fuss of my daughter and made her feel really special. Everyone who works here is always helpful, polite and friendly. The food...

Lovely friendly staff excellent food and service. Our food was free as we had a long wait for it but excellent experience anyway. Really enjoyed it.

For our car club we hold at the Basset Hound , this has been an excellent venue thru out the year. Staff have been brill. We recently had our christmas meal for 29. TOP CLASS !!!

Lovely evening in excellent surroundings. Food was very tasty and good portions. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend.

A more welcoming and cosy traditional English pub you couldn't find - especially decked out for Christmas. I'm not really a pub person, but I loved my visit to the Basset Hound and would heartily recommend a visit.

Had chicken and hock pie with mash potatoes and carrots. Really enjoyed it. The restaurant was decorated with festive decorations which made it feel very welcoming. The staff were pleasant and helpful. Would recommend.
