Bootleggers Cafe in Wirral

Lovely restaurant and ambiance. Open kitchen. Food was nice, not amazing, just nice. Service was awful. Slow and no contact. We were booked in for 6.30, ordered food around 6.45 and got the food around 8, by this time we’d lost interest, which I suppose had impacted on our view of the food it’s self. Served one drink, not checked upon. Cakes looked amazing but sadly the vanilla sponge was dry. May go back and try breakfast as been told thats good.

The Bootleggers is a warm friendly and quietly chic place without being pretentious. The home cooked food is superb and the home made bread is to die for. The owner and staff are absolutely lovely people and the decor and 1970s prog rock background music is so cool.

What a great night. 20 of my neighbours come for our yearly Xmas meal. We were pleased they could could fit 20 of us in all at once. We had various starters. I had the Mushroom starter which was great and a few friends near me had the French onion soup which was nice. Mains we had lamb , beef and chicken. Massive portions which tasted amazing. Service was great and the drinks flowed well. Can’t wait to go back in the new year.

Caring and friendly Thank you for looking after us so well and feeding us scrumptious food. Lovely place, great atmosphere and absolutely bloody gorgeous wall paint colour.

Just been in for dinner .Had a breakfast before which was just ok so wasn’t expecting much but evening meal absolutely great food and would heartily recommend .Good ambience , friendly staff will definitely be back .Well done everybody concerned a great meal

Popped in and had a gorgeous salmon and soft cheese bagel while hubby had a BLT. Lovely chilled atmosphere and really friendly staff; will definitely be returning soon!

Visited last night for the first time and loved it. Handwritten specials menu showing that it’s changing daily. Friendly, helpful, efficient staff. Really tasty homemade food and reasonably priced. Really can’t go wrong. Remember to take some cash for a tip as you can’t add it to your card payment!

We went for Sunday lunch today and had been assured when booking that portions were very generous. Place was really cold as was my dinner (roast beef). I had been told that a childs meal was a large portion and it was not, I had to send the meal back to be reheated as it was cold. Hubby had the roast chicken adult meal which in no way resembled the pictures that were used to advertise the meal and I would say was smaller than average for a man size meal. We were told to ask if we wanted more vegetables to be fair. I did not consider the meal to be good or value for money and if I want to be that cold when eating I would have a winter picnic in scenic surroundings !

This is a little gem of a place. We booked a table and had lunch. The food was excellent with very good portion sizes. My husband had a roast beef focaccia sandwiches and I had a chilli Jacket potato. The food was exceptional and the staff were very friendly and attentive. We travelled from Liverpool and we’ll definitely be returning.

I've called here a few times without a booking and never managed to get a table. Friends had told me the food was good. This morning I got a walk in at breakfast. The menu is interesting, not just your usual full english and as a vegan that's no use to me anyway. I ordered a Vegan Burrito. Verdict? Can't ever remember having a better breakfast anywhere, ever. After waiting over 30 minutes for my meal I was thinking of knocking off a star for the delay but the food was so amazing I'd say it was more than worth the wait!

Hidden gem of Wallasey, great choice of food all made fresh on site very welcoming and friendly. Filter coffee is excellent just like the USA good choice of food and beverages, good value for money with a good amount of food on the plate.

Out for a walk on a lovely hot day and on the way back home visited the Bootleggers Cafe for just a coffee and a couple of beers. Now I have visited Bootleggers for food previously and its never disappointed. Got talking to the lovely staff and I asked about their methods for making their sourdough bread that they make their on their premises. What started as a simple enquiry ended with meeting Elliot who kindly gave me sourdough 101 lesson in how he makes it. So it was brilliant for me to see samples of what I should be doing. When I got back home my bread had cooled down so had a slice of my sourdough and Elliot's magic had worked and it was my best bread yet so now, to me, Elliot is the sourdough magic man! Can't wait to visit again with my family and have a proper meal. Thanks guys keep spreading the love!

Amazing staff, decor and food. We paid a visit for Fathers Day and were welcomed by very friendly and accommodating staff. The food was excellent, I had the vegan/vegetarian breakfast and it was cooked to perfection! The music played in the background was not invasive to your conversation and was a delight to hear the 60’s and 70’s jams! Very happy !

Food is delicious but it's been impossible for me and my friends to return, with days of closing for prep, or bank holidays, closed on a Sunday because they're wasn't enough bookings, and now there's a refurb, which is great to see, however keep people in the loop! People check social media everyday for venues like this, especially when they're independent, if there was updates people will understand.

Four of us popped in for Breakfast,great food and super friendly staff,lovely ambience about the place.Will definitely be returning

Hot sandwiches reasonably tasty, you can tell the bread is fresh. Home fries disappointing - looked in vain for any of the salsa or sour cream supposed to be in there, I assume it was missed off which made them quite dry as then it...

Bear with while I tell you a rather rambling story about Hubby and I driving Route 66 across Arizona in June 2013. Stopping off in Peach Springs we wandered into The Grand Canyon Caverns cafe where we encountered the chocolate brownie against which all other...
