Coach House in Knowsley

We came here as we live local and have been before but today was very dissapointing, to start with my husband picked up some menu's which were all wet and sticky tried looking for different ones but they were also the same (wipe them over) we ordered drinks coffee and an apple juice which was served warm, we ordered a small breakfast each, whilst it came out to us fairly quickly it really wasn't the best, the plate underneath was very greasy so when you tried to move your plate around your hands were also covered in grease (yuk) we didn't get what we asked for ... we asked for scrambled eggs and got fried, we asked for white toast and got burnt brown toast, and the beans had absolutely not been cooked like they had just been served cold straight from a tin, the bacon was also rock solid you couldn't cut it without a fight, it was also greasy, it really wasn't worth the money we had paid, dissapointing and absolutely not on, will not be returning which is a shame as the experience we had previously was totally different, the surroundings are beautiful but food was an absolute let down.

Only had a drink but always enjoy visiting. Great community asset for the area

Nice place for a coffee and snack. Alcohol also available. People who run the place are nice and friendly and keen to help. Can get a little busy. But worth a visit.

Have been here several times before without any complaints but felt today that I needed to write this review. Having a child with coeliac disease can be a struggle when trying to find a place that is safe for them to eat at so when I was told on a previous visit that the cafe offered gluten free alternatives I was made up that my 10yr old could go! So having got my 3 children ready to go we walked for half an hour to the golf course with a very happy 10yr old! Upon arrival we were told that the cafe was busy due to a large party already being in there and they wouldn’t be serving food for at least 30mins. We were ok with that and didn’t mind the wait but when we enquired what was available for gluten free we were told that there was none as the fryers were being used for the big party and would be having food items put in them that were NOT gluten free! The whole point of having a separate fryer is to avoid cross contamination and make it safe for a coeliac. Unfortunately I had to leave with 3 very disappointed hungry children with a 30 minute walk home.

Lovely place to visit on a nice day !

Been a few times and it's a lovely set up. Quite overpriced for the area but the location is lovely. Lately it always seems a bit chaotic and with the summer garden open at the back it's double the punters than there used to be which is great for businesses but they need to do something about the toilet situation, 2 toilets isn't enough there always rammed and a bit grim.

This place was recommended to me and as we live locally thought we would try it for lunch. Absolute nightmare!! The parking situation is awful, if in fact you can park, we’ve tried before and had to leave, but not put off so gave it another try today. We arrived at one for lunch, ordered some drinks and food, not a banquet, and only two of us. We heard the table next to us complaining about a long wait, but it was a lovely day so we sat it out…… One hour and 15 minutes later, and having to ask a couple of times about the wait, and only thanks to Anna, our food arrived! It was only calamari, halloumi, and a burger, nothing difficult but took that long. I did speak to the manager, who apologised and offered a refund, which we refused. But really, you need to get your act together food wise otherwise people just won’t come. Last time for us anyway. ( also, I’m diabetic which did not help)

Cracking bar set up, perfect for an after round of golf drink. Or a lazy boozy lunch 🍻

Service was poor and food was pretty terrible. Not angry, didn't have anyone being rude and not expecting them to pretend to be happy at work, it was just rubbish execution. Seems like staff either aren't trained or aren't managed. Drinks orders that only get half fulfilled, weirdly putting the food on the end of the table, not in front of anyone. The food had clearly been sat on the pass for an age as it was all pretty cold, the hollandaise was a watery mess with a SKIN on top... and only 1 of the 5 poached eggs for the table was anything other than hard boiled. The kitchen must have been having trouble cos the nuked eggs were matched with undercooked bacon and hash browns. 3 star atmosphere cos it was sunny and we sat outside.

Great outdoor venue good food and service, very busy evening but good service great place to take family

Been here lots of times since it’s opened, this was the first time in a while. There where 4 staff members behind the bar with just one serving so I thought it was staff training but apparently not, they where just standing around watching, I did ask?? I ordered drinks and said I will take a menu outside to show friends and come back to order food. Was asked was it a takeaway?? Then as going back out with both hands full a staff member came in (saw me) and let the very heavy door close behind him!! A lovely customer saw what happened and opened the door for me. Very disappointed as this is all basic customer service. After finishing our food outside the plates where left on our table for ages and where still there when we left . Other golfers / people around where saying similar things like no cutlery or condiments brought before food arrived and had to ask. It’s such a shame as this used to be a well run venue. Also, where has the mirror in ladies toilets gone there is one in the gents and the toilets had a nasty smell… Not up to previous visits/experiences that’s such a shame and I think it’s all about staff training, supervision and staff enjoying being with people who visit this venue. It used to be a lovely experience going here….

Ordered smash burgers, absolutely easiest thing in the world to make , ball of seasoned quality mince and smash and flip, however the burgers you serve are just frozen poor quality burgers not patties, I’m convinced a while ago they used to be freshly smashed ones. Won’t be eating them again. Staff and drinks were very nice I must add.

Nice place.. however check your bill before tapping your card. Bought a round yesterday, 2 pints (camden and mahou), 1 double vodka with lemonade an black current. 1 double rhubarb and ginger gin with lemonade. Seen today was charged £27.80. Doesnt seem to match the prices displayed on the website. I never bought fevertree tonics or anything. If 2 pints is £10, then the other 2 drinks work out i have paid £8.90 each?

I stopped by with a few friends for breakfast after an overnight stay locally, the place was fairly quiet, however as more tables filled up the noise levels were really high. The bar staff were super friendly and welcoming. We placed our order, with one of us ordering their food a few minutes before the rest of our order was placed. This resulted in their food arriving first, and them having finished their food before the rest of us received ours. Something is going wrong in the kitchen as not only were the eggs missing from the full English breakfast, but all the food arrived cold! We thought it might have just been a one off but then the rest of our food arrived cold too. We noticed that the food was being carried outside in the rain from the kitchen to the restaurant which probably didn't help with this and since our friend had already eaten their meal we didn't want any further delay to go and complain. Aside from the food being cold, the portion sizes were generous and I'm sure would have tasted great had it been hot!

Just got back from this venue. Ordered 3 meals. Waited 50 mins if not longer for it to arrive. Asked twice where food was. Told 5 mins. 20 mins later after asking, for the second time. Really feel like the order was forgotten. When arrived 2 meals steak baguettes and Parmesan fries. Stone cold. Plus parmasen fries were just cold fries. No parmasen on them. Toddlers meal sausage beans and fries. Cooked to within an inch of their life. The young lad who dealt with us was very apologetic, not his fault. Just wonder who oversees the place. Won’t be back.

Came for dinner, ordered 2 adult meals and a childs meal. Food took just under an hour to come out even after chasing twice, when it did the 2 adult meals came 1st and where stone cold and not as described on the menu. The childs meal came about 10 minutes later and was very clearly reheated beans where so overcooked they where hard. Sausages where also rock hard. Shame really as I go to that park alot with my daughter, we would have been popping in regular but not after today. Absolute shambles.

Went for breakfast large breakfast small breakfast it arrived it was freezing cold toast no butter no black pudding Staff very apologetic and sourced some butter and black pudding Very Disappointed won't be returning for breakfast again

Just been for food service was terrible no acknowledgement when you walked in did know if you order at the bar or they come take your order the 2 girls behind bar just haveing a chat food was terrible got a eggs benedict breakfast the plate covered in beans stone cold beans and the sauce on eggs benedict was stone cold the bread was not toasted and tasted funny sent it all back 1st time here and never be back

A lovely place to visit with a good selection of wines, spirits and ales 🍺

Bit slow service and usually a couple of things not in stock on the menu,but nice

Staff are lovely can't help you enough they go that extra mile food and atmosphere brilliant

Came a few times last summer. Just called in with wife and baby. A little gang of tweens on bikes outside rolling spliffs. What appeared to be a supervisor was sat a couple of yards away and said nothing. Seventy per cent of empty tables cluttered with glasses. Toilet not very clean or tidy. Left without buying anything. Doubt I’ll be back again.

Had some food after a round of golf. Chips with sliced sirloin steak, it was delicious, tender and juicy steak. Lady who served us drinks was very friendly. Haven't been there in the evening, but will definitely at some point.

Was good stop off at the park service a little slow seemed to be cooked in order rather then as orders are placed. Was a little on the cooler side then would have liked but was a good portion and flavourful what we all had others may have been a little disappointed at the temperature.

It is a cozy pub in a beautiful park. We have some coffee, beers and a delicious 🥕 cake.

Staying at the Premier Inn close but their kitchen was closed. Small walk to the coach house. Great food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend

A lovely chilled vibe and food was really enjoyable. Staff are lovely also..

Great coffee, smashing brekky, lovely staff 10/10

The staff were friendly and the service was great. Recommended the hot chocolate with toasted marshmallows

It's always a lovely vibe. Lovely staff, great food when available. Always nice people xx

A really nice atmosphere and lovely location

Only went for drinks on Saturday night, so I can't rate the food. Great singer/guitarist on. Friendly staff, nice place.

A really good night, unfortunately the wind and rain won on New Year's Eve. It was freezing, but well done to the staff and team working very hard

Everything was top notch, will recommend it to all my friends

Only had drinks but the place was a delight

Nice an cosy on a dark rainy windy night..

Went for lunch here, pleasant surroundings with views onto the Golf course

Great place to eat or have a drink.

Great place to visit for a bite to eat and catching up with family and friends, I sat outside for the first time with my mum and sister and met our two cousin's who we had not seen for awhile. I then ordered pepperoni pizza 🍕 and salted fries 🍟 while my cousin bought us a pint of blackcurrant soda and later on had a latte to drink. The food and drink was lovely and the service was good too, also the atmosphere was lovely when you sat outside in the fresh air under a big gazebo and chatted lots too.

Lovly coffees and wide selection of alcoholic drinks

Could be a fantastic place to go and chill out but have noticed recently a lot of loud parties and unruly kids hope that it doesn't go downhill after such a promising start

Average, wasn’t busy, but slow service….food decent and reasonable prices.

Can't recommend this place enough, Great food and drinks, atmosphere and welcoming staff to match 🙌

What a place and what unbelievable staff, this already amazing place no matter what the weather will become something really big.

Great for families, food is good but not a big selection, atmosphere is great had a lovely afternoon with friends and family.

Such a lovely space & staff are really friendly. I really want to see this place so well but the food is letting the place down.

Toilets are a problem when you're busy.

Had a wander up to the Park and decided to have a bite to eat. Very disappointed, had a burger and fries and considering the price of £11:50, it was very poor. I don't mind paying, but I would expect a much better product, in addition to arriving, just look warm. Sorry, I've had to post this, but hopefully, it helps going forward as I would like to see them thrive.

Really great place, staff are superb. Atmosphere is 👍, sadly let down by pricing. Festival/town prices for food and drink. Dirty fries are a winner but not at £6!! For a handful win minimal topping.

Great place for everyone staff are fantastic

As a group of five adults we decided to visit Saturday night and was very disappointed the bar area looked like everything was just dumped there were no chairs to sit on as all the chairs were outside being used by large groups, unfortunately after 1 drink we left to see customers arriving with pizza's bought from outside agencies, don't know whether to try the venue again.

good music! nice place in the sun for drinks! staff are really friendly and helpful.

Loved it they have started doing a full food menu

Great little bar with views over golf course. Nice children's playground

Been in a few times now - sat inside and outside. Great place to sit and watch the golf, drinks and food were both great. You can see a lot of investment has been put in to the course and the Coach House to make it attractive, and we are now regulars up here. Great place for a pint in the sun!

Limited menu but lovely place to spend a couple of hours over lunch.

Great atmosphere, Dan and Alex have worked hard to build this business and it shows. Live music on Fridays and Sundays is a real plus . Being dog friendly is fabulous. It's nice to have somewhere within a park to help build community spirit and the coach house achieves that .

Nice casual place, great for dog owners, good atmosphere

Fast becoming my favourite place to walk the dog at Bowring Golf Course followed by hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. The food is great too. Great atmosphere, lovely friendly staff. Love it 😍

Dirty tables, our food came and we had to call a member of staff to clear the table before we could eat.Staff very pleasant ,but had to keep asking for things.....very dissapointed

Nice decor, but it was a bit cold in there as it was a dismal, rainy day. Also the music was a bit loud, back ground music is nice, but needed to talk quite loud to my friend. But the food was lovely and staff pleasant.

Beautiful venue for business meeting or a social gathering, restaurant or coffee shop, good or drink and all well presented & fantastically amazing 🤩

Rustic style place and quite pretty with lights and plants. Very limited menu of hot and cold sandwiches with various types of chips..no hot meals. Plenty of drink choices. Food was nice. Paper plates and wooden throwaway forks Average prices DOG friendly and staff were pleasant enough

Buzzing atmosphere, roll on the warmer weather so you can sit outside. Prices are good, I'm told the food menu will be expanded too 👍👍👍👍

My new favourite place the atmosphere is chilled and friendly staff are amazing there’s live music and the food is unbelievable Love the fact that it’s dog friendly too met a lot of lovely people here if your looking for a new place to try make sure you check it out you won’t be disappointed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 6 stars from me exceeded my expectations

Lovely bar for a coffee in the day or a drink in the evening! I’ve been a number of times and always felt welcomed with a friendly atmosphere. We enjoy popping in with the family dogs and find ourselves staying for longer as we aren’t worrying about getting home for them! Great location and plenty of parking.

Lovely place for a drink in an evening.

Nice place, idea is great , but lots of dogs in there sniffing around the tables were your eating is a poor hygiene failure, the new toddlers play area out side was full off teenagers on electric cycles using gas canisters , paths are dark and unlit , very intimidating. It's £4 pounds for a can of Guinness, I bought 2 double gin and tonics for me and my friend it was liverpool gin because I don't like beefeater, it was 16 pounds, a bit steep I thought ?? Town or hotel prices. Staff were great and friendly, place was clean but still very new. Go yourself and see if you agree.

Would definitely be returning back here, food was lovely, atmosphere was great and staff were so friendly and attentive! Perfect place to come with either a group of friends or date night :)

If you are looking for a cheeky glass of wine or a coffee in the afternoon then look no further. A real gem.....

staff where very friendly and food was 10/10, definitely recommend x

Great little place. Nice grounds for a walk and then nice little brunch to top it off. Well worth a visit.

Really great to see this place up and running. Nice little setting well presented, not massively expensive. Service was a little slow during the day with everyone ordering hot drinks and them only having a drinks machine but will deffo be returning and possibly become our new local. Good atmosphere and nice view our over the park & golf course. Done a great job with this really hope it proves to be a huge success.

Great little venue. Staff very friendly service is quick.

Excellent new bar in the grounds of Bowring Park Golf Club. Nice atmosphere, reasonable prices and after chatting with the bar staff, looks like there is lots planned for the future, utilising the outdoor space for markets and event once the landscaping is complete. Looking forward to visiting again and grabbing something to eat next time.
