Bootle Arms in Sefton

Very friendly staff, Hilary served us and was most most accommodating, and great atmosphere will definitely be back.

Mathew was a great waiter, kind and friendly

Came here for food tonight was seated straight away food was amazing and staff were great especially Michael and Jess x highly recommend x

Food was lovely, and my waiter Lottie was very friendly and helpful.

Michael and Jess where great! Customer service was lovely!

Was in on Sunday with some friends and was served by a tall lad called Adam he was very friendly and made sure we where well looked after

Great pub with fab food and Adam is just fantastic. Will definitely go back.

I was passing so popped in for a coffee and some lunch. Lovely welcome from Hannah and the staff as always. Went for the fish finger sandwich which was spot on, and another coffee!! Great service as always and I will be back soon 👍🏻

Came on Sunday and it was lovely food was amazing and the staff were very attentive there was a young man Adam his name was he was particularly helpful with the food menu. Credit to the pub

Stopped by for some food and a drink, food was lovely, I had the ultimate burger which was amazing. I was served by Rozalyn who was really helpful even though she was running around like crazy as it was very busy at the time. I have been here before but really like the place and will come again.

Been to Bootle Arms many times and it has always been a good experience. Unfortunately my latest visit was very dissapointing. Five of the meals were fine, but I ordered a medium rare sirloin steak. It arrived well done and when I pointed this out it was replaced, with another well done steak! (surely it is not that difficult to cook a steak correctly) It was accepted that the steak was again overcooked and was replaced with a pie, which was not really what I wanted. On the plus side the cost of the steak was refunded but still not a great experience. I ended eating my meal 30 minutes after everyone else at our table had finished

Food was lovely, service was great served by Michael

When I was ordering food at the bar, a waitress was next to me wrapping serviettes around the cutlery. She snnezed in to her hands several times and continued to wrap the knives and forks. Have to say, I was freaked out after that because I have a compromised immune system at the moment and I'm going on holiday in 2 weeks time. Still praying we don't catch anything!! I didn't say anything at the time as I didn't want to upset any one. In terms of the food - it was average. We ordered 3 curries. I went for the Thai one, which was pretty tasteless and extremely watery. I had to place all of my rice inside the curry bowl and it was still like eating a broth soup. Also on the menu it showed 3 chillies for spice. There was little to no spice. For us, the Bootle Arms is nice for Sunday dinner only. The rest of the week, its just OK which is a shame as I really love the location of this pub.

Food was great pub food for a reasonable price. Staff were friendly and helpful, we were served by Han, Kane, Amy and Chloe who were lovely. It was busy so a wait for food but staff told us before ordering.

Good food and service. Nice place, have been a few times now and all been good

Excellent service. Friendly staff made you feel welcome. Food also excellent.. Nice environment to enjoy your meal.

Katie was really lovely and got us seated quickly, great service all round from her, thank you :-)

Lucy was boss her service was amazing

Lucy was our server, very knowledgeable about wine, great service. Love the beer garden

We were served by Lucy and she was an absolute star, her service was amazing and she was so polite!

I came today 10th May 2025 for a birthday meal with my 3 sisters. The food was gorgeous it was hot and very tasty. The lasagna was amazing.

Upon walking in there was customers smoking weed in the seating area outside. The staff where very polite , the food was good but there was customers in the food area that where extremely loud and swearing whilst children where about. Would not come back .

Chloe took my order today. She was really polite and able to help me with some amendments that were needed for us to enjoy the food.

Many years' of my family myself and Snowy my Dog !! Have never experienced such amazing food and the service from a staff member called TIA was beyond good and went out of her way to every need we had.. thank you see you soon again...TIA... X x

Lovely meal, great chicken curry and good value! Really nice sticky toffee pud too. Matthew, our server, was really nice and polite.

The food was from another planet. Thank you Dan We will come back again and again just for you. Also place is dog friendly and personal is very friendly. Great.

Beautiful setting, enclosed children's play park. Despite being very busy, service and attention could not be faulted. Drinks and food arrived ahead of time - was tasty and good value, especially for my child. Bar staff Hannah in particular was very friendly and helpful, bringing over our drinks.

Lovely pub this! Cracking food and great staff. Prefect for anything from a quick bite to eat to date night. Definitely now a firm regular.

Good,friendly service, good food, at fair prices.

Bootle arms is the best in the area for quality of customer service, food and drink to dining experience. Everywhere looks clean inside and out. Friendly staff are present and making sure tables are cared for. Never had a bad experience at the bootle arms.

Booked a table for 6, including 2 grandmother's, for Mother's Day at 5:30. When ordering our food at 5:40, we were told that they had no Sunday Lunches left at all! The assistant manager was very apologetic, but the actual manager was nowhere to be seen. They were very busy at the time, & had obviously catered throughout the day for all walk-in customers, ahead of any diners that had pre-booked a table, (we had also pre-paid a £5 deposit per head). We were then told that they had also ran out of my choice of starter. I ended up ordering tomato soup, which was rather bland, & a lukewarm gammon steak with a large strip of inedible fat attached to it. When ordering our desserts, we were told that they had also run out of 2 of the 3 we wanted to order. By that time I'd had enough, & settled the bill without us having any desserts, & without leaving a tip. I will not be returning.

Lovely Mother’s Day lunch there. Staff are lovely!!

Great service friendly staff lovely food

Had such a warm welcoming visit Special thanks to Hannah who made our Mother’s Day special and made sure our food and drink was too a exceptional standard

Lovely place to eat for families

Booked for mother's day, was very busy but Erin looked after us very well! Thank you

Always a good menu choice and nice food at reasonable prices

Service is amazing we always visit on walks from the canal dog friendly with a menu for dogs many food options please do go if you visit !!

Food slow to come. 45 mins wait. This was explained to us as we sat down. Staff lovely and friendly

Served by Kane, amazing service, 30% off main meals. Daughter is 23 but was asked for ID, she didn't bring it, had a giggle, no Woo Woo for Abi, it was a No No and a pint of coke, well done for challenging. I had the battered cauliflower starter, amazing but for the money maybe a few more pieces, then the veggie burger, good portion and a tap water. 8/10 as the starter was pricey for the portion size. The food arrived pretty quick and the pub was quite full. Abi had the cod and chips with mushy peas, massive fish and she had a side order of bread, she really enjoyed it. She did have a hang-up with the fact she didn't get the Woo Woo and said that she weren't I'D for the beer battered cod and she was feeling a bit tipsy. 9/10 from Abi due to the lack of a Woo Woo. Overall amazing service, banter from Kane, really top effort for his politeness. Great food especially with 30% off the mains, GOD Bless

Great place to have a meal the atmosphere is welcoming and pleasant.

It was busy . Food came out at different times .

Our first time going here and we will be back. Sophie is unbelievable and honestly the service her and the other staff give is so amazing.. We came here to celebrate my brother being cancer free an ringing the bell and they made him feel so special. The most lovely service and food was so tasty an came out fast. We was a table of 10 and was served so quickly aswell. Sophie you are amazing and really made our day so thank you for being so kind

Excellant food and service 😋 Great staff always friendly and helpful The good thing is you can just walk into the pub and get a table More specials on daily guys thats what I would like to see but always 5 star experience Grant and hannah who run the pub put there heart and soul into it and it shows . Amazing so welcoming caring and supportive 💖 Love it 😀

We were walking up the canal from Old Roan to Maghull and this is a convenient halfway point for lunch. If you didn't know where this place was you'd never find it. Luckily someone invented GPS and the Satnav will now get you get here no problem. I enjoyed the Hunters Chicken baguette for lunch. It was very reasonably priced. Service was quick, and staff were very helpful. They have a reasonable range of beers and ales. They also have a large beer garden and car park which I'd imagine would fill up in the summer.

Shoved in corner of room and forgotten not impressed

Another superb visit to our local at the weekend. What could be better on a Saturday afternoon than a few drinks, some excellent pub grub in a friendly and lively bar? Thank you to Paul, Sophie and Hannah and the kitchen team for our top quality steak and Katsu Chicken Burger
