Cafe Across the Mesey in Wirral - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

ordered food and it took about an hour and a half to come. When it came toast was literally charcoal! we asked for no tomatoes in breakfasts and they put tomatoes in 2 of the breakfasts also asked for mushrooms and they didn’t put mushrooms on. I called and had to speak to 3 different people who kept taking the phone off eachother and all were very rude didn’t resolve my problem told i was going to be waiting ages because they were busy even though it was there fault and they continued to say just get a refund through just eat. Never ordering again! Hash browns also had green inside 🤢

Ordered a Sunday roast for the first time to be delivered for a family of four after say it was of top quality at a excellent price would definitely order from them again and was delivered within fourty five minutes.

Wow the food is sensation fresh stone baked pizza is the fav , this food is restaurant standard so glad they are back open well done cafe cross the mersey

I get breakfast and roast Dinners from here probably more than I should whenever I'm home on a weekend. They are to die for x

Stopped for refreshments during walk from New Brighton. All covid precautions in place and felt safe. Staff were lovely with great service. My flat white coffee was the best I have had. I had smoked salmon and scrambled egg on toasted bagel which was delicious with (unlike other places) with a really generous portion of smoked salmon.

Roast dinners from here are absolutely amazing always order my dinners here most sundays would not go anywhere else unless they werent open tasty food and look lovely when they arrive well done chef

HMS Prince of Wales was going to leave Liverpool on the day of our visit, so we didn't know what to expect really....the venue was spotlessly clean, the staff were funny, friendly and very efficient going out of their way to please. The food was lovely, it was hot, tasty and plentiful. We totally enjoyed the experience and WILL be going back again for certain

Ordered a vegetarian roast dinner today for just me. Delivery was quick and the roast dinner was just amazing. Loads of veg very filling and generous with the gravy. It was perfect would defenitley recommenced this place and can’t wait to order again next Sunday Thankyou x

Catered for an external christmas lunch at work. Probably the best roast dinner i've ever eaten. Full of flavour and plentiful portion. Super!

We use Cafe Cross The Mersey for a number of our corporate events and yesterday we had our annual team Christmas Lunch. Whilst we would usually go out to a local restaurant for our Christmas Lunch we decided to use Cafe Cross The Mersey as we're aware of their very high standard of food. The dinner was absolutely fantastic. Huge portions, high quality produce and expertly presented. The beef in particular literally fell apart in your mouth. I would highly recommend this company for any catering requirements you may have. A huge thankyou to John, Laura and the rest of their team who highly organised and professional. We're already looking forward to doing it again next year! 5*

We used Cafe Cross the Mersey for our catering and it was outstanding. We ordered 15 roast dinners for our office Christmas party and it did not disappoint. The food quality and portion sizes were amazing. Two meats included and all of the trimmings. Not only that, but they then supplied us with buckets of extras and spares (potatoes, yorkshires, pigs in blankets etc). Delicious! Overall excellent value for money. Cannot wait to use Cafe Cross The Mersey for our next event.

Full marks for a terrific Christmas lunch provided as a corporate order to a Liverpool office. Huge portions ( 2 meats) with all , and I mean all, the trimmings . I have had Christmas meals all over the world in many famous restaurants. I have to say for a classic seasonal meal this could not be bettered. Not just my individual taste - but the view of everyone who attended. A very special meal. I fully recommend . Thumbs up !

Good choice of menu, unfortunately no gluten free bread. Which left only jacket potato with baked beans for me. It came with a plateful of salad. Very good value for the price paid. The restaurant was spotless. Only lost one star because lack of gluten free.

Wasn’t expecting too much when we nipped in for a quick bite to eat while passing. But, pleasantly surprised by lovely scouse and bread for me and BLT and fries for my daughter. Good food, tasty, clean and friendly staff. Will go again.

Had Sunday brunch of a plate of Scouse! Very nice with plenty of meat (they may do Blind Scouse, if you ask). With a cake and a cup of coffee. I've been many times and it's all good. This is a very good and roomy cafe with decent meals. If you are doing the ferry tour (there is a ticket in the ferry terminal) make this your lunch stop.

This is a fantastic place to eat at any time of day. Service is very friendly and food is served with pride.Three sizes of breakfast served the medium would be a belly buster in most places not tried the belly buster, but I'm sure it's a challengeAll this and a fantastic view accros the mersey to the Liverpool waterfront.

These guys did our wedding breakfast and it was absolutely delicious. The attention to detail is exceptional and the chefs and really keen that things be perfect. We went for a taster session and were delighted at what we’d be having on our day. We were able to adapt the menus to suit us. The food is all freshly and expertly prepared. We visit Liverpool frequently and will definitely pop over the water to visit. Do visit the cafe and consider this place for your outside catering as the food is delicious.

Cold day waiting for the ferry / cruise to Liverpool - what better than to have a nice cuppa at the cafe. Lovely staff on land and on the boat and good somple food. Didnt have it but the all day breakfast looked awesome. Not expensive. Big open space - plenty of room and comfortable seats. Kids play area attached.

Been here today and was told food would be 30 minutes. Ok but, one meal took 30 minutes another came out 5 minutes later the next 20 minutes after that and the last 5 minutes after that. I had a ham salad wrap that was on a boiling hot plate and the hot meals came out on cold plates. Would recommend taking a bag lunch if visiting spaceport. Food was very expensive for what we had.

Just popped in whilst waiting for the ferry ,,, Had 2 bottles of pop , £3:50 ,, but pricey but expect it in a tourist area ,,, other people were having meals which looked pretty good and they ate the lot 👍🏻👍🏻

After we visited space port we headed here for lunch while waiting for the ferry back to Pier Head. I got poached eggs on toast and my wife got a goats cheese sandwich I think, which arrived after my poached eggs did.....also the staff don't appear to really have any manners.

Avoid avoid avoid. Unreliable. You never know when staff will close the cafe (at their discretion). Totally unreliable. If you want to eat something, you are better off going somewhere else.

Spacious dining area, some soft sofas if desired, large menu, great food, next to the Seacombe Ferry terminal, parking easy accessibility, I’d give it a go, my tuna tomato sandwich was delicious.

Really friendly staff and food was lovely! My son is dairy intolerant so they made him dairy free chicken dippers. Would definitely eat here again!

We were visiting Spaceport so decided to try Cafe across the Mersey for lunch, good decision!The food was fairly priced, portions sizeable and it was all freshly prepared.Our friends son is dairy intolerant and not only did they offer an alternative but an entire list of options that the chef was prepared to cook freshly. The staff were friendly and polite, 100% recommended.

Been a while since last visit to this cafe. This time was told I could not use my Tastecard as you withdrew from the scheme over 12 months ago and informed me it was Tastecard's error not removing this establishment from advertisments. I therefore cannot phathom to understand why you have not taken it upon yourselves to rectify this issue with Tastecard considerings you even mentioned other customers keep coming and you have to tell them card is not warranted. Nevertheless, ordered two tuna melts which seemed overpriced but expected substancial baguettes, when they arrived it was a quarter the size of a full baguette with a plateful of lettuce.In conclusion a very overpriced cafe, small portions of food served and poor management especially relating to the Tastecard issue.I have thought long and hard about this review but since learning from the waitress that customers just keep coming in and its been over 12 months since you withdrew from the scheme I felt its no excuse and its like your luring customers in under false pretences hoping they will just order anyway which incidentally like a fool we did and paid heavily for it.

After having walked from New Brighton with the family, we all enjoyed a nice cup of tea in clean, relaxing surroundings. It offers a good selection of food and drink as well as fantastic views of Liverpool. The prices are also very reasonable and we did feel that we did get value for our money. We were also given a very warm welcome and when we asked about ferry times we were well looked after and given the information in double quick time. Thanks for a lovely time!

Great choices available, but slightly sticky feel to tables etc. Worth dropping in especially if waiting for a boat!

Some things on the menu are a little pricey for lunch, e.g. Scouse at £7, but the coffee is good...very good, the staff are super friendly and helpful, and there are great views of the river. We went with our two children (5,6), and we're very impressed. Baked potatoes, wraps and kids sandwiches were all fresh, nicely presented and well cooked. It opens into a play centre, can be a bit noisy, but if you sit on the sofas nearest to the windows, it would be fine.

I'm very impressed with this Cafe Cross The Mersey. The cafe area is very spacious with a few leather suites to lounge in too. The menu is extensive and the jacket potato, oven cooked, with tuna that I had was exceptionally delicious. Slightly above average price but worth it.

Had a pleasant day out in Liverpool, with my husband, travelling by ferry. On the way back, we decided to call in to Cafe Cross the Mersey for coffee and a scone. The very friendly girl who served us said that we could have a full afternoon tea for just an extra £4, which was better value for money, so we did! This was an excellent decision, as the afternoon tea was absolutely delicious - fresh sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, and two cakes each, along with good hot coffee. Because the food was all freshly prepared, we had to wait a while, so the waitress brought us more coffee, on the house. The cafe is clean, bright and welcoming and the staff are friendly, efficient and helpful. We have visited before and can say that they also serve a delicious home-made Scouse. Fabulous!!

Dead simple food well presented at a good price. Simple stuff like sandwiches and pies - ace. Coffee was good and the sweet potatoe fries were excellent. It is big and open not very romantic but great place to sit while waiting for the ferry boat to arrive. Been many times and always pleases. Staff ace.

Excellent food, quite expensive for a small caffee, We had Scouse for 2 adults, 2 sausage roll deals for kids and a pizza for the 3rd child. All with drinks. £35 ish The food was really nice and enjoyable

This cafe is absolutely lovely. Clean, comfortable and surprisingly large and airy. The lady who served us was extremely polite, welcoming and happy. The food is all freshly made and of a very high standard. The brioche burger was obviously hand made rather than bought in and it showed! Sooo tasty. I went with family and two children under 7 years old and there was plenty for us to pick from on the menu to keep everyone happy.

Went to the Café cross the Mersey for our first stop on a Hen Party. We had afternoon Tea that was lovely, the ladies behind the counter were very attentive and nothing was to much trouble. Lovely start to a full day and night of celebrations.

We had a boat ride and then called in for our lunch. Scouse was gorgeous Lovely and not. Had a large to follow.go again soon.

Stopped in after walking the river front. We were greeted by a Lovely cuppa, a tasty brunch and friendly staff. The cafe was clean and comfortable and the menu was extensive and well priced. Would definitely recommend a visit even if you're not taking the ferry

Great location and views of the Mersey. Nice home made scones and Jam and the coffee ground from beans in front of you ...... so superb coffee. Staff very freindly.The prices are a bit on the steep side: Two coffees and one Scone and Jam for £7.50. At Liverpools pier head a comparitive would be a couple of quid cheaper. Still its well worth the visit ...... and there are cheaper things on the menu. It is attached to childrens play area so it can be animated and not so quiet a place!

As they say any port in a storm, being diabetic I had no choice but to go into this cafe as it was the only one in the area, picked up the only 3 pre-made sandwiches as we were told there would be a half hour wait for food ( in a almost empty cafe?). Stale squished and one side soggy as I said YUK !

Recently had afternoon tea using a voucher. Very enjoyable and very well presented. The sandwiches and cakes were really nice. The scones are huge and sprinkled with brown sugar which is a nice twist - the only problem is that the small pot of clotted cream that you get is not enough, but then I do like a big dollop of cream on my scones!The staff were really nice - friendly, chatty and looked after us really well.Would definitely recommend a visit.

I was waiting for a friend so came to Café Cross the Mersey for a coffee and was pleasantly surprised. The café is modern, tastefully decorated, spacious, lots of comfortable sofas and the coffee is great too. Well worth a visit.

Upon travelling to Seacombe Ferry we embarked upon a little cafe inside the terminal building. It has quite a large seating area, it was very family orientated with a young persons play area adjacent to the cafe. The hot food selection was limited it could be easily expanded as it would attract more customers but on a whole it's a basic cafe with limited range of hot food but plenty of choice for drinks and smoothies etc. Taste Card is available here on the 2 for 1 offer which is good value.

A warm welcome is assured at Cafe Across the Mersey. Great food and drink at reasonable prices, and for those with younger children there is a superb play area attached.

Having not visited this cafe in a while my friend and I (on a Groupon) decided to re-visit it and was so glad we did. I've been many times and each time seems to improve. The staff are lovely and friendly the food, made from fresh every day, is amazing so much so that I had to take a photo of our Afternoon Tea prior to demolishing the lot-actually had to take some home with us! It's taken a while to perfect the afternoon tea with little tweets along the way. It's better to book so all items are on hold until you come. The price of this is easily in line with other places but the quality here is superb.My only gripe (each time) is its right next to the kids play area and can become noisey even when sitting on the leather couches. If you've got kids then just go for it, meals are very reasonably priced and the kids would love it. Its best to avoid kids times if you want a more adult quiet time. Well done guys. Can't wait to visit again

We took the ferry across to Seacombe and visited Spaceport. After that we had a meal in this restaurant. They had a really good selection of meals on the menu, for all ages. We chose the Scouse which had been recommended to us by a friend. It was delicious and very reasonably priced. It came with bread and beetroot, which apparently is traditional. It was like a beef stew but was delicious. The waitress was very friendly and helpful which added to the experience. The teenagers chose burgers and fries which they said were tasty and filling. I would definitely go back again.

Stopped for lunch after visiting spaceport and whilst waiting for the ferry. Great price and great food usually food places linked to tourist attractions can be overpriced but this was far from it. Lovely lunch for my family without breaking the bank and plenty of time to enjoy with friendly staff.

Good basic cafe food and good basic coffee. On the Mersey Ferries they have scouse which I adore. It is exceptional good and tasty and the staff are brilliant and friendly also. While on the great ferries enjoy something to eat - Perfect

We went to this café and the there was a lady called Teresa who was so helpful could not fault her she was a 5 star employee!!!! They also have a kids play area and on a rainy day it was great to give the adults ten minuets and the kids was happy playing when waiting.

We visited here yesterday just on a spur of them moment thing, my fiancee fancied some afternoon tea. As we go for afternoon tea quite often I said we should try somewhere new, so we got on trip advisor and looked for local options.We found this place, I am familiar with the ferry terminal as I have lived close by most of my life but never tried the cafe. On arrival it was very quiet, we ordered the afternoon tea for two and were given the choice of any of the hot drinks on the menu,, two lattes it was.The food was brought over shortly after, served on a nice chrome cake stand, the sandwiches were well made and very tasty, the home made scones were lovely and light served with a tub of clotted cream and a small pot of jam.There was also a very nice cupcake/muffin.Not the finest afternoon tea we have had but at this price point don't think you could ask for anything more.Would recommend to anyone who fancies a little bit of afternoon tea on a budget and without the pomp.

Fantastic afternoon tea for four adults. Ordered separate food for child. Great food freshly made,very tasty. Plenty of it,doggy bag for the cakes we couldn't manage to finish. Staff polite and attentive.

All three of us had the scouse it was delicious. I couldn't eat all of mine. The restaurant was lovely and clean with very pleasant staff.

Took a group of 44 Seniors on a day trip to Liverpool. Choose Cafe Cross the Mersey for lunch. We spoke to Michael, deputy manager , and with his help put together a meal option for our Seniors to choose from. Meals were pre ordered a week in advance. We were delighted with the way that the staff went the extra mile by setting out long tables, covered with white table covers and decorated with fresh flowers. Tea and coffee were served straight away, followed by meals that were served to each individual. The Scouse was delicious, those who had soup and sandwiches were well pleased and the cream scones and flapjacks finished the meal off perfectly. This restaurant was a pleasure to deal with, very helpful and accommodating. Would recommend without hesitation.

We used a Groupon voucher for afternoon tea and were very pleased with the quality of the food, fresh sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, muffins and tea or coffee. What made our visit more special was the extremely helpful and pleasant staff. I wish I had got her name because she deserves a special mention. Cannot comment about other food but would definitely used this cafe again.

Had a group on voucher for "afternoon tea for two" booked in at lunch time. Cafe was quite busy but the welcome was really warm and genuine. Cafe was in two areas with comfortable leather sofas and normal tables.Staff served food and drinks to tables and were pleasant and eager to please. Food was excellent with fresh sandwiches and home made scones and cakes. Went to look at the soft play area which was next to the cafe. It looked fine for ages up to about 10 and there were tables to eat the food ordered.Will definitely go back with the grandkids and with friendshome made scones and cakesHad a look at the play area to bring the

Visited recently for an afternoon tea with my family, they did very well to cater for the high number of us, staff were great afternoon tea was lovely, only let down was there was 10 of us and only two choices of sandwiches & two people in the group didn't like one of each choice so they only had one type of sandwich to eat, we also give prior notification of children attending but nothing was made different for them.. Overall great ! Fab visit !

Great food and excellent views. Popped in whilst waiting for the ferry - had coffee and cake as we only had a short while to wait for the next sailing. Hot food that was served around us looked really good. Plenty of choice - pity it wasn't later in the day or we would have had lunch or even the afternoon tea deal. Plenty of seating even when its busy.

We had a groupon voucher for afternoon tea and after walking from New Brighton to the Seacombe ferry terminal along the prom the voucher was presentedThe afternoon tea was excellent (see photo), very friendly service and apparently all food freshly cooked/baked - the white chocolate raspberry muffin deserves a special mention as it was so moist - the nicest muffin I've eaten its an unusual place to find good fresh food and I hope they continue to have the success their hard work deserves as its in the ferry terminal - toilets are outside the cafe but close top the cafe entrance and there are a choice of tables or sofas to eat at - some single chairs look out towards the landing stage and Liverpool - the coffee was very good its just a bit of the beaten track to have passing trade unless you know its there - but if we are ever in the area again would happily stop for an afternoon tea even without a Groupon voucher

Had a lovely cream, afternoon tea here a month ago. Only negative is that its a bit noisy as a big room and sounds seem to echo, was not the most relaxing of venues for afternoon tea. Maybe if they had a partitioned area that would help, its certainly large enough to accommodate it. The sandwiches etc., were lovely as were the staff.

Came here after visiting Spaceport. Wasn't expecting much but it was great! The kids meals are huge and everything is made fresh to order. They had a nice chunky burger in a nice looking bun for the kids and masses of fries. I had a tuna melt ciabatta and hubby had the goats cheese with roasted pepper ciabatta. Both were only £3.95 each. We shared a huge portion of chips for only £1.95. There was a wait for the food but it is worth waiting for. A little gem of a place with lovely down to earth staff. Nice view across the Mersey thrown in as well! Would highly recommend :)

It's had a revamp and it shows Much better service standards and much improved menu It feels cleaner and well run Pleasurable experience

I recently visited for afternoon tea and what a treat! The sandwiches, scone, chocolate brownie and millionaires' shortbread all tasted as though they had only just been made. It was nicely served on a cake stand and I can recommend it. The cafe is very well kept and has views of the ferry terminal and River Mersey. There are cafe tables as well as some squashy leather sofas which are relaxing to sit on. The childrens' play area is just outside and even though the toilets aren't actually in the cafe they are close by and were very clean. I complimented the management on the scones and was informed that they were home made. I can well believe it and now that I've discovered this little gem I will definitely be back.

I recently had received a coupon for afternoon tea for cafe across the Mersey, as a Christmas present, it was brilliant. It was for 2 people, we ended up taking my 3 yr old nephew as well. The staff were lovely & friendly. The actual afternoon tea was very plentiful & tasty. Next door was a play area, you had to pay, but my nephew had a brilliant time. I would highly recommend afternoon tea here.

This Cafe has been Newly Transformed from the greasy spoon cafe of the old owners to a Superior collection of New Young Dedicated Hands of Owners and Chefs who take their food and Cafe very seriously in deed. They make every item themselves from high quality ingredients each day and served by friendly helpfull waitress service. The newly decorated Cafe with soft brown Leather comfy couches along with bistro tables and chairs. Menues are on tables but a more comprehensive list is on the wall boards behind the counter from were you order. I have visited this Cafe on many occasions and tasted both the hot and cold food and there is always the same quality and effort put in every dish. The most expensive item on the menu is for afternoon tea which is at the same going rate as in other establishments of approximately £12 per person. Beautifully presented with fresh over stuffed sandwhiches, the most amazing warm homemade scones with clotted cream and jam and lastly a selection of fresh cake slices The rest of the Menu is very generously priced at under £8. Great variety on menu to choose from including home made traditional Neapolitan pizza, fantastic home made burger patties,hot toasted sandwhiches and paninnes, wraps and of course their famouse Scouse which is served on all the ferry cruises. In the mornings they serve a small breakfast menu ideal for ferry passengers waiting for the ferry commute to Liverpool. If looking for a quick light bite then there are freshly pre-packed sandwhiches and bakery selection. New for the Christmas period are the very large individual festive mince pies. Can't finish this review without mentioning the Lavazza coffee. If you think you've tasted Lavazza coffee before well these barista's are fully trained by Lavazza. This coffee is the best Lavazza coffee I've tasted.The only downside to this Cafe is perhaps it's location, which is right next to what can be a noisy children's indoor play area and the front of the cafe is often mistaken as a "ferry waiting room" which it most certainly is not. As both doors in these areas are open it can not only be noisy but also quite cold. There are plans in the making for a new entrance. There is access to the cafe directly in to the children's play area so the doors can remain closed. Changing the entrance away from the ferry and closing the doors or with larger signs for the cafe entrance would perhaps solve this.Considering it's only been just over six months since this gem on the Mersey opened it's doors with its new owners and staff, the sign of this being a Cafe to weather the storm seems highly likely and long may it do so.
