CookHouse Pub & Carvery in Liverpool

Brilliant pub grub and drinks, lovely friendly staff

Staff were lovely, very helpful. Food was ok,not the best carvery though. Place was nicely decorated and clean.

The manager Cheryl was very nice and helped us out. Carvery was nice and fresh even on a weekday. Enjoyed the meat as it was good quality and well cooked. Two main meals for 18£ on a Tuesday was very agreeable, and even included carvery. Overall, very impressed and will be going again!

Great carvery, really fresh and good selection of veggies. Generous amount of meat, definitely be going back. Good deal on a Monday for £7!

Family lunch out, lovely food, staff very friendly and welcoming

A plate of warming food - that was about it. Nothing wrong with it, but not really worth the journey that we made for "Liverpool's No.1 Carvery". All very tasty and generous, with a manageress that was especially smiley and friendly.

Very friendly staff. Food excellent. Value for money. We will be back again. Cannot fault anything. We had carvery items from adult menu and kids menu. Everything was perfect.

Very good carvery and child menu ,the main menu has an excellent selection and good variation of choices to choose from . The staff were pleasant and attentive nothing to fault here.

The food was exceptional, and the staff were very accommodating; however, the manager's manner of speaking to them suggested a sense of superiority, which created discomfort for both my partner and me. Need to get a better manager who values his staff!

Myself and my grandfather are regulars here and find it a nice cosy pub. Vicky the the manager is very well organised and will try her best to make all feel welcome and at home. Zach is learning still but he will try his very best to make people feel at home here as well as welcome also. Local pub for local people 😅 Great for families. Get your arse there!

Lovely roast dinner beef was very tender

Lovely pub with food. Had funeral reception here. Tea, coffee and nice buffet with gluten free option. Reasonably price great service and well looked after. Thank you.

Great atmosphere certainly changed to the last time I was in there great service lovely refurbishment.

First time here and have nothing but positive things to say. The staff were so friendly and the gluten free options on the carvery were amazing. (The only things non-GF on the carvery were cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire puddings and stuffing). Meat was amazing. Had the GF brownies for desert and WOW. 100% going to be returning.

We have been visiting this pub for many years although over the past few months there has been a rapid decline. £5.55 for Cruzcampo when in Woolton Village you can find this for £4.50. you also have to educate the staff as they do try not to serve a full pint. Keep your eyes on your glass before making a payment! The carvery I had experienced today was POOR! Meat was cold (Beef, Turkey & Gammon). Beef was over cooked and not tender. Gammon was very dry and the turkey was actually not bad, moist and full of flavour, but cold... Broccoli, Cauliflower & Cheese, Green Beans were cooked perfectly. Pigs in blankets were also cooked beautifully, crisp bacon and juicy sausage. Beef Gravy was also fine. Full of flavour. Carrots were okay but not much flavour, cut too thin. Yorkshire pudding was like chewing cardboard. Carrots & Turnip was too soggy, Roast Potatoes were disgusting! Undercooked, and far too much fat had been absorbed. I ate half of one small one... Did not eat the rest. Complained about the food to the Male Manager whom was on at the time. He started chuckling and completely didn't offer a refund or an alternative meal. Disgusting! We've been regular customers but these issues are becoming the normal service in here now. Management at the BAR requires changing. The fact the manager started chuckling like it was some sort of a joke is disgusting. I will be finishing my pint and NOT returning to this pub until changes are made. Considering I'm a regular too makes it worse. Furious!

Excellent service from the moment we arrived to the minute we left, food is unbelievable (both carvery and food to order). If there was more stars available they would deserve them, look forward to coming back soon.

Been here a few times for carvery and always been good. However this time wasn't up to normal standard. Food was only lukewarm and roast potatoes small and some were hard. Shame as staff are lovely but would think twice about revisiting.

We had a large party of 20 booked in and the staff were amazing! Service was fast and consistent every member of staff couldnt do enough for us !! Food was amazing as always ! Would highly recommend x

Firstly we were greeted with a great smile and shown to our table. Our drinks order was taken straight away. Ordering process for food is either through app or the old fashioned way at the bar. I ordered 8 meals for us all fish, chicken bites, carvery, gluten free meal which Iight add my brother was very surprised at the choice there was. He ordered chicken wings box he Said it was dry and flavourless unfortunately. Reports on the fish was it was delicious as were the chicken.bites and the carvery. Downside was no Guinness??? I ordered moretti draught it was flat I asked could it be changed I got a new drink with a slightly better head but this was still flat. Some of our party had deserts 1 of which wanted cream with her brownie (my youngest)🤯 this came also with ice cream. We were told we had to.pay £1.50 to add the cream bit shocked by this. It arrived out after being made to pay an addition to the norm it came without ice cream my wife had to ask for this be sent out separately as it came with it. The issues were only small we had and the staff were quick to resolve. The disappointment was because the Moretti was flat on both occasions, we were made pay extra for cream instead of an offer of a swap from ice cream and there was no Guinness on sale here (they did have murphys). I would return again mostly for the carvery but only if I was the designated driver 😂😂

Lovey meal which all the family enjoyed. We were a party of 9 and all food arrived efficiently and was piping hot. Great service, we certainly return.

Group of seven, all pleased with their food. Will go again. Great price for carvery. Good choice of drinks. Allow your reviews to be shorter than 100 characters.

We went to the quiz tonight, I have to say it's the best and most fair quiz I've ever been to, very good laugh, the quizmaster is quality.

Called by phone three weeks prior to book, then again the day before to change number of people. When we got there there was no record of the booking??? Food was ok, except for the roast potatoes, stale and soggy. Don't think we'll be going back.

Just a great atmosphere and good food. Great staff.

Fab place we enjoy coming with the kids and they enjoy the food

Best carvery around, meat not dry, the beef is fantastic, veg cooked well. Staff great and friendly, nice and clean tables always cleaned straight away unlike other places. The only criticism I could mention is a few more 0% drinks on offer would be nice, only have 1 Italian 0% lager.

Came in for food and drinks with my daughter, I do come in regularly but I’ve never had time to leave a review!… but I can genuinely say the food, the service and the staff are lovely!.. very helpful and friendly nothing is too much.. special shout out to Phil behind the bar who always has a smile on his face and always asks if everything was ok with our meals and is very friendly!

Good food, reasonably priced, no veggie option on the carvery

Fantastic place to eat, everything was superb, staff were excellent, will definitely be going back in the future,

Dropped in for a carvery for my mother. Good service nice staff.reasonable prices 👍

Come here all the time, staff are fantastic. Foods always good. Would recommend the fish and chips and carvery.

Good food and family friendly atmosphere.

First time at CookHouse Todat, had carvery, so good, food all hot and delicious

Had a group booking for the whole family couldn't fault anything staff were friendly and attentive food was amazing and atmosphere very relaxed for such a big group of us

Really enjoyed our full breakfast .....good prices lovely food very helpful staff ...*****

Good pub food in nice surroundings.

I’ve always enjoyed the food here, it’s a good local option.

Recently had a staff night out and I was blown away at the atmosphere and friendly staff. The manager Vic, comes straight up to you with a smile on her face and is happy to help you. It was my first time there…but it won’t be my last. The food was unbelievable. I have told friends and family that we need to go down!

Steak and Ale Pie great, but the chips were roast potatoes cut in half.

Lovely pub ..nice staff ..good atmosphere

Went with family for a get together lunch yesterday.met by a young lady working alone at first .she must have had sparks comming off her shoes she ran around so much .the food was great .then the rest of the staff came and looked after us . Service 10 out of 10 .

Lovely pub and carvery , all food and drink were quick and staff was fantastic

Excellent food, great staff and outdoor play area

Nice atmosphere food some was cold

Overpriced food not that good back garden is great in good weather

We chose to do lunch here on Bank holiday Monday. The restaurant was very quiet We all decided on the carvery, the beef and turkey were nice but the gammon was very dry. The carrots and parsnips were good but the cauliflower cheese and gravy were tasteless portion size was decent and you can help yourself to whatever potatoes and vegetables you wanted. For a restaurant that does daily carveries you would expect a better quality of food It's a shame on a bank holiday that they inflate the prices especially as the restaurant was so quiet on a normal Monday the carvery is £7 on Bank holiday Monday it's £12.95 so quiet a difference. Don't think we will rush back

This was our second time here. This first time is when it was first opened and it was chaotic, so didn't comment as it wouldn't have been fair. This time, well it was excellent, staff where very polite and pleasant. Food, we had the Carvery. We where both very impressed with the quality and tastiness of all the Carvery. Meat melted in your mouth, Veg, just as we like it. Very clean place.Tables clean and not sticky, toilets very clean as well. So for that I gave it 5☆ Deffo go there again soon.

The nicest pub food I have had in a while, the atmosphere and service is amazing! Couldn’t not fault this place in the slightest.

Hanging kebab! Recommend ! Very good

Great night at the quiz in the cookhouse rainhill. Laughs, loves and a good bash with the lads

First time trying this place and it has made a good first impression. Ordered the carvery which is £9.95 weekdays but £7 on Mondays which is a great deal. The carvery had beef,gammon and turkey and all were cooked well and seasoned well. Then all the vegetables where cooked perfect and seasoned perfect and with chicken or beef gravy to choose from. It really went down a treat and will be back to try other menu items. Minor gripes, one tiny tiny pig in blanket with the carvery it was about the size of half your little finger it was so cute. And the single stuffing ball was gone in one bite. But I suppose they want you to upgrade to the more meat and yorkies and pigs in blanket for a couple of quid more. Fair enough profits are thin these days.But it really was a lovely meal. All the staff seemed happy in general it was sound. Quite large pub with loads of space and a beer garden. Will becoming back to try the all you can eat breakfast buffet. .

Good food ,great service , the place is great for family occasion or just going out for a bit.

Would not recommend to people called in today while passing with my wife and son and our two grandchildren. Seated quickly enough but in a poor location right by the door to the garden with a constant stream of people going in and out and lots of kids running in and out bumping our seats, fair enough it was a nice day and fairly busy couldn't be helped. The service was terrible got both childrens meals wrong, waiter never brought the promised steak knife, or the side plates for the sharing platter. The food was mediocre and quite bland first time i have had a skin on gravy in a pub. All in all disappointed and won't be returning im afraid

Such a warm welcoming environment, nice and clean, all staff where lovely and the food was fresh and delicious

I had been to the Cookhouse a couple of times before Covid and hadn't been overly impressed. However, on this visit I was amazed at the transformation. The food was excellent, nicely served by pleasant and helpful staff who were unobtrusively attentive. There was a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and in spite of it being a busy time, service was prompt and with a smile.

Great place to have a bit to eat with friends and family, Service was great so was the food. No complaints what so ever. Will come back at some point

it is a big thank you to logan and Nathan thank you for a great and professional service you both are a credit to the company food was great as well thanks to chefs Gluten free menu excellent also thank you again

Lovely pub, lovely food and great staff couldn't be more accommodating especially when it came to my autistic lil 1.

Very disappointed. Food was brought out cold when replaced chops csme back uncooked in the middle. Eating area very dirty... sticky tables and dirty cutlery. Unfortunately this will be my last visit here as we had a similar experience last month and put it down to a bad day in there. Sad as we have visited here regularly since it opened. Standards have really dropped

Delicious, as always. Service was a bit slow but it was chocker so,,,,,

Lovely food and not badly priced. I was with 2 friends who also enjoyed their meals, one had your carvery. Very nice environment with music in the background

Great atmosphere great entertainment.

We went for a Sunday roast and it was tasty but not the best, one thing I liked was the turkey, the rest it was pretty simple and plain, lack of seasoning was my opinion. But it was decent, it was a very busy place and everyone was running around and also they had super loud pop music (as loud as a night club) and it was very hard to even have a conversation with my husband. A lot of young friendly people working there but it was too hectic ad stressful atmosphere, not relaxing at all. Loud and overwhelming

The food was excellent and most of all hot.the staff were great,hospitable,warm and friendly but only what you expect in liverpool.shame they have to keep changing the menu seasonally but thats not their fault.shame about not serving Guinness.the only thing is its a little crammed in areas but apart from that nothing to complain about.qell done all

Love steak and ale 🥧pie and sweet potato fries Delicious mmmmmmmmmmmm

Great pub restaurant. Good carvery and menu with options.

A good place for typical pub food, carvery and other food are available at reasonable prices, sandwiches and breakfasts at earlier times so a good range for the day. Staff are pleasant and service is quite quick.

Food was Luke warm on the breakfast . The only saving grace was the barman was amazing . So funny and enthusiastic . I’d give him 5 stars but the food was cold and the bacon was hard . Need to improve Cook House . Now I know why you were so quiet for breakfast !

Nice pub style food. Average pricing. Nice layout.

Typical pub food, opted for food of menu and not carvery, food was good, very friendly staff, yes I would go again

Very nice Sunday roast, pleasant atmosphere.

Amazing food & drink friendly staff great price Aaron is amazing hard working and so lovely defiantly recommend this place 5 stars ⭐️

Had breakfast today. Raised my review to 5* as it appears to have returned to the standard it used to be.

Greasy tables, overworked staff, people waiting so long.. we left..

Nice enough place to meet up with friends or family

It's fine for a meal here, can be a bit hit and miss sometimes though on size of meals, other than that it's decent enough

Modern, but transitional vibe; friendly, helpful staff; clean toilets; different events throughout the week and the food was tasty. A little expensive for your average pub grub, but given the pub is better than average I think it’s worth that little bit extra.

Enjoyed a birthday celebration, staff where very accommodating, food was lovely reasonably prices and everyone had clean plates. They have children's options which where reasonable, I can highly recommend the fish and chips and chicken kebab

Have visited here many times for both food and drinks. Friendly staff and food was really nice Lovely place to visit when weather is 🌞Outside area is very relaxing if the weather is nice.

Staff are brilliant. Food and selection of beers very good.👏

INice place to go staff are always friendly and welcoming which always makes it a much more pleasant experience.

Stunning food and great service will deffo eat her again.

Had a carvery and was delicious meat was lovely and tender and food was cooked weel and nice and hot. Will defo eat here again and staff were friendly service was outstanding

Great family pub , the quiz on a Thursday night is also fantastic

Being before will go again boss food

Food was excellent the staff were lovely and the place was clean and tidy

The staff are so friendly and also so helpful. If you have a problem it's sorted right away. I would recommend this place.

Good quality cavery, decent beer selection and friendly staff.

It's very cheap and so the food is very decent for the money. The staff have all been really nice, can't fault them one bit, they will have to go the extra mile to, they brought me a drink over because I had a broken arm, as an example.

Staff were brilliant food was really good

My family and I love this place

Brilliant food lovely people fantastic band Perfect night

Standard type of pub restaurant part of a chain Good food and wide choice available including carvery Family orientated in early evening

Whoever is doing the cooking at the cookhouse is smashing it! I got a bit snobby and didn’t expect much but my god the food is well tasty and the staff are super nice too. Well in cookhouse!!! Wish I had a picture of the food but that got scoffed fast 😂

Great place, excellent staff, lovely food. Can deffo recommend.

5 of us had a carvery, it was very nice although we couldn’t have the beef it looked dried up. Staff as always nice and friendly. The ice cream on display was lovely with all the sprinkles on. One of our group had a badly cracked glass but never noticed till it was nearly empty. I took it back for her and staff offered a refill but we were nearly ready to go. He willingly gave a refund. Thank you

Breakfasts are great worth a visit

The staff seemed very good and genuinely wanting to help in amyway. I quite like the atmosphere and it's a decent place to eat from the menu. However the carvery could be better! The roast potatoes are truly awful, fried dry, left out and actually quite hard! 5 of us had the carvery and nobody ate the roasties.

Popped in on a Thursday afternoon for lunch after reading the reviews. I must admit I was shocked how good the food was, I ordered the steak and ale pie chips etc. my partner she ordered the salmon and I can honestly say these were one of the best pub meals we’ve had.. Staff were helpful and friendly, the pub was spotless, food was not only excellent but pretty quick too. I 100% recommend the cookhouse, we will be returning again as their are other meals we want to try. Great job
