Down The Hatch in Liverpool

Amazing food and really friendly staff!

I went there last week. The staff was so kind and the food was so good and I got served quite fast. Definitely would repeat.

Glad I spotted this gem. Booked a table just in case it was busy. Staff very friendly and helpful when we were choosing how much to order. The menu is so good I could go another 3 times and have enough to choose from to eat different each visit.

Always a delight coming here. Never disappointed with any of their burgers, services is good and they've often got some good deals on.

Great place. Beautiful inside. Great atmosphere. Lovely, friendly, helpful staff. Great food. Main meal was a lot. Got one of their soy burgers. It was very heavy but tasted great. The apple crumble & ice cream dessert was amazing. 😍

really nice restaurant with great service and amazing food!!

Great food, fab staff, will definitely go again!

This is a cool space with lots of friendly staff, the cocktails were amazing, however the food was not great when we visited. We both got burgers which were very soft, a really large vegetable patty portion in between a cheap dry bun. Veggie pattys can be done right when crispy but these just unfortunately missed the mark. The burgers came with a huge portion of skinny fries, my partners salt and pepper fries were quite tasty, but only some of mine had seasoning and most were bland. The gravy which I got with the fries was so watery and tasted of nothing at all was really disappointing. I think this could be a great venue but we were just slightly let down by the meal as a whole.

Always amazing vegan food AND superb drinks! 🍷

Wonderful food and fantastic service - highly recommended!

Great food and friendly staff... many gluten-free options. We enjoyed it so much we went back the next day!

Brilliant. Squeezed us in without a booking on a busy Saturday night. Food was delicious, creative, and prepared with care. Staff were great, friendly and warm and looked after us with great personalities. Everything is vegan-friendly and plant-based. Great for a bite on a night out.

Great service, dog friendly, nice drinks, friendly staff. I went with my girlfriend who is vegetarian. I am not but didn't miss the meat products

really incredible food and super friendly staff! we had such a good evening here and genuinely some of the best vegetarian burgers we’ve ever had. highly recommend.

Absolutely love this place. The atmosphere, the staff, the music, the cocktails. And the food! Soo good! The yager sauce is stunning and the mushroom salt n pepper fella is always my favourite. The flavours in the food are so good. We always have a great time here. Vegan or not. The food is beautiful and you are definitely not going home hungry. Looking forward to my next visit.

Absolutely incredible food!! We ordered a burger & loaded fries from the main menu and chilli beef noodles from the Woo Tan Scran menu. Both were so incredibly amazing that we came back the next day to try the roast. Each item is perfectly created. This is how vegan food should be done! Also the staff are so kind and attentive. Really great place!

A Delightful Dessert Experience at Down the Hatch If you're a fan of indulgent desserts, look no further than Down the Hatch in Liverpool, where I recently had the pleasure of trying their incredible lime and mint cheesecake. This dessert was an absolute revelation! The balance of flavors was spot on. The tangy, zesty lime was perfectly complemented by the fresh, aromatic mint, creating a refreshing yet rich taste that danced on the palate. The cheesecake itself was velvety smooth with a melt in the mouth base that added just the right amount of crunch. Every bite was a harmonious blend of light and creamy textures, making it the perfect end to a meal. Not only was the cheesecake delicious, but the atmosphere at Down the Hatch made it a memorable experience. The staff were friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming environment and the place was bustling on Saturday night. If you're in Liverpool and craving a delicious meal, do yourself a favor and make a beeline for Down the Hatch. All the food was great, but their lime and mint cheesecake is not to be missed!

Great place. Good choice of vegan food. A little over-priced.

Soooo incredibly delicious!! Went the first time with a friend for dinner last night. The stars of the show were the Frickles and Patatas Bravas. Good lord... I think I could eat those every day. Really tasty. Did try the zinger burger but found the sauce a bit too hot for me, and the burger itself wasn't to my personal liking. The service was brilliant, so relaxing, and genuinely, the food was incredible all round. 💖✨️😋 Thank you again DTH!

Had the zinger burger which was decent but the taste could be a better. Felt a bit on the pricey end. The cocktails were pretty good!

Super friendly service and nice vibe. But terrible food. Everything tasted like a heated up, supermarket microwave meal. Had the carbonara which was lukewarm and bland. Somehow they also managed to ruin an apple crumble. Food seems cheap and not fresh at all. Boo

Lovely place, the nicest staff, and super dog friendly! Highly recommend!

Morgan was a lovely server, the whole team was efficient and considerate and made the whole experience even better! The food was amazing and I’d definitely recommend it!

Food was amazing, I ordered over the phone and collected and everyone I encountered was lovely. The FRICKLES are the best thing I have eaten not at all disappointed with the food it was exactly how you imagine.

Food was perfect. Delicious and served quickly. Staff were very friendly.

Friendly staff, lovely food and atmosphere. The menu has so much to offer and the cocktails were lush!

beautiful atmosphere here: amazing vegan food. great recommendations from the staff if you get overwhelmed from the abundance of thoughtful, yummy sounding vegan options 🌱 love the lighting and how hidden away it is, such a nice retreat from the craziness of liverpool

Huge amount of options of vegetarian food. All the staff were really friendly and they explained the menu for any newcomers. I had the Mac and cheese burger, which I wasn't too keen on, but my partner had the korean rice cake burger which was incredible. Nice to have proper salt and pepper fries with a burger too

¡Qué sabrosa comida! Es raro que encuentre sabrosas hamburguesas vegetarianas y veganas, especialmente hamburguesas de hongos, pero esto fue fantástico. La hamburguesa de sal y pimienta estaba muy buena y los tamaños de las porciones son más que generosos! En mis 3 mejores restaurantes veganos seguro. Muy sabroso y buena relación calidad-precio también!

Just fantastic vegan and vegetarian restaurant. Lovely food, generous portions and good value for money. Staff were smashing, friendly and generally gorgeous. Thank you all so much for a great night out.

Nice looking restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and attentive, serving phenomenal vegan food. Highly recommend the Asian style tofu burger & salt and pepper chips.

Really tasty food and great service. Would highly recommend! The only criticism is that pre-ordering for a party of 10 only allowed us to access a limited menu. But do go along to try it!

Perfect if you are a veggie and want flavor. Perfect atmosphere and lovely staff

Had an amazing vegan meal- even the carnivores amongst us enjoyed every bite!. Staff so friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere and so busy which must be a good sign too.

Tenía una reserva tardía, hasta las 9:30 pm. Hice uno tarde pensando que estaría ocupado. No es que cerrara a las 9. 30 . La comida era realmente increíble, sabroso y rápido servicio. Amplia gama de diferentes alimentos. El menú de cócteles es muy agradable y tiene muchas variedades. El servidor era agradable y amable. Pero me sentí un poco apresurado.

My group visited DTH last night. We may have been a tricksy group due to the amount of food allergies. However, our server went over and beyond attentiveness! She was the BEST. The food was delicious and the hospitality was A+. We look forward to visiting again. Thank you!

Ordered food from there by UberEats last week on a Friday night. I put a note to say please do not put any onions, garlic and mushrooms in my food. I ordered the Seitan Wings, fries and Zinger burger (Seitan). Although the restaurant phoned me to clarify that they were not going to put any spring onions in the wings, they ended up putting onions in my burger which I could barely eat! Waste of money tbh! Would not recommend in that sense. On the other hand, the wings were very good.

Everything at down the hatch was spot on. With one of us being veggie we're always trying to find restaurants that cater well to veggies. Down the hatch is one of the best we've tried so far! The starters of Patatas Bravas and BBQ Corn Ribs were amazing. The mains of the Salt n Pepper Fella Burger and Poutine were just as good. The drinks complimented the food well and were very strong! Even better when they are 2 for 1! The service was fantastic throughout our visit. I would highly recommend for veggies but also meat eaters alike.

Staff are great had a great experience in the place but food was disappointing, had the salt and pepper tofu and fried rice, got 4 pieces of tofu and some under seasoned rice. Spent 50 quid at the table for dinner and drinks for 2, left hungry unsatisfied and overcharged.

This is my favourite restaurant. The food is unbelievable

Just ok but not amazing food.Nice service.

I ordered all of my food from the Wu Tan Scran menu on the back as it had been recommended to me by a vegan friend. They have a huge selection of food and I was really impressed that everything was vegan. The crispy duck bao buns were superb. The place is really nice, and the service was excellent. Will definitely come back to try more stuff!!

very deceptive looking on the outside. You have to literally go down the stairs to enter, but once you walk in, the atmosphere is so great. The place is very warm and welcoming and very comfortable. The food, all plant based is so amazing, so tasty, so moreish. l had the special which was the vegan fish n chips. It was so nice. I was so glad I chose this and then had apple crumble for dessert. They have a nice variety of drinks and cocktails/mocktails too which wont disappoint Highly recommend this place if youre in Liverpool Im looking forward to returning. Thank you Down The Hatch

Restaurante muy único con su propio encanto. Cielo para veganos y vegetarianos. El personal es muy amable y servicial. La comida es increíble. Me impresionó lo delicioso que sabía. Para todos los veganos en Liverpool definitivamente un "debe tener que probar"

Very unique restaurant with his own charme. Heaven for vegans and vegetarians. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food is amazing. I was impressed how delicious it tasted. For all vegans in Liverpool definitely a "must have to try"

Great relaxed atmosphere. Food really nice and the portion sizes were huge. Absolutely stuffed

I'll start by how surprised I was at my enjoyment of all the food on hand. I am by no means vegetarian as anyone reading my reviews giggle at. Anyway.went on a double date night with a vegetarian couple at their recommendation. Yes, I was sceptical to say the least. Call me converted. I had some of all our dishes and the flavours were bang on. They aren't pretending to be something carnivorous would eat. No they are on a mission to make amazing food that has its own identity. That it's vegetarian or vegan just happens coincidentally. They also have an eclectic selection of cocktails. .... Always a plus in my world.... But I digress. The prices across the board straddle both a quick bite... And something special. There is something there for all It's not the easiest place to find since it is in a basement but it's a jewel for sure.

Fui a almorzar rápido por capricho. Normalmente no estamos basados en plantas y una persona es celíaca. Comida increíble. Conciencia de alérgenos perfecta. Servicio genial. Volveremos.

Really great food and cocktails! Can't wait to come back as it was so hard to choose from all the amazing options.

Subpar overall. We ordered 2 beers, 2 starters and 2 mains. Starters took 20 minutes and the mains arrived after approximately 45 minutes after the starters after they'd forgotten them. When they finally arrived they were lukewarm, greasy and absolutely tasteless. I'd love to say we enjoyed it but we definitely wouldn't be back. Thankfully we were offered 50% off the bill after they took nearly full plates back, it's such a shame because the reviews were so good and as a vegan I was so excited to try it!

Bonito rollo. Gran servicio. Deliciosa comida y cócteles. Comí las tortitas de pato, las alitas de coliflor y el crumble de manzana y bebí un cóctel de lichi. Precios decentes. Perfecto en general

Some of the best vegan junk food I've ever had. Great spot, great staff, complex where it doesn't need to be, absolutely delicious. What a treat

Had the BBQ loaded fries and macaroni cheese with freckles, really good ! I will be back for the burgers and wings

What a great place! We enjoyed our food ( bao buns with salt and pepper fries) enormously. Superb cocktail Really nice service, so friendly and helpful. Thank you

I came last night and the service was brilliant but the food was awful. I was supposed to have the salt and pepper tofu dish. It was horrible, the noodles were greasey, there were no vegetables other than one tiny green shoot and onions, the tofu was overcooked, there was absolutely no ginger. it was simple oil, noodles, onions and soy sauce. Terrible, absolutely awful. I hadn't eaten all day and ate it out of desperation. I have to kneel on the floor and was just too much pain to wait for another dish to be cooked. I was extremely disappointed. Michelle

10/10 for customer service, the place itself and its location and, most importantly, the food! There’s the DTH menu and also Woo Tan Scran offering oriental small plates, which we had the veggie spring rolls and ‘prawn’ toast off. We also had the sweetcorn ‘ribs’ , frickles and loaded fries…. we both left with full bellies and I will definitely be back to try one of their burgers.

Such a nice atmosphere and our server Griffin was amazing! The food was brilliant and the cocktails were just as good. Hugely recommend!

Lovely little restaurant, friendly staff, the equivalent of two menus and so much good food. Highly recommend.

Great food and cocktails. Lots of choose and take away available

Down the Hatch catered my 25th wedding anniversary party, and OMG it was soooooo good! Our guests enjoyed the hot buffet so much! Thanks to Rikki and the team for providing the most gorgeous food!!!!

Pretty decent food, some dishes are a bit bland

Atmosphere and food always great

Yum! Cosy pub with good food :-)

Wonderful place, great food, even gluten-free, very kind and helpful staff. Advised!

Server was excellent, venue itself is cool, but the food was questionable. Extemeley salty, couldn't eat it.

Down the Hatch is an amazing experience every time we go, and I am still finding new things that I love about it. Whether it's the new items on the menu, the service, or the drinks. I went with my wife for her birthday, and I really felt like I had nothing to worry about in terms of service - we were so well looked after and the food came so quickly and the quality was as amazing as ever. Even if you're an meat-eater like I am, the fact that the entire menu is vegan shouldn't put you off! Challenge yourself to try something new and go to Down the Hatch!

Attentive, friendly staff. Great food, varied options, so much choice.

Nice place! Food didn't hit the mark this time but staff were really friendly over it. Usually the food is amazing so I can't wait to go back another time

Absolutely love this place. I'm not wholly vegan but I do have problems eith dairy so to be able to eat anything and not stress about what was in it is amazing. Lots of choice for food and drinks. We had the cheesecake for dessert and it was amazing. Service was friendly and although it was quiet there was still a nice vibe to the place.

Really nice atmosphere and the staff are very friendly, clearly open to talk through dietary options if needed. Had the Char Swoo "chicken" Noodles which was delicious.

Nice vegan place, with loads of food variety. Wanted to rate 5 stars but food was so salty I couldn't finish it. Had the Chinese food tbf, but even then still too much. Would go back again to try something different, and atmosphere is cool.

Booked ahead as we were a large group. Plenty of choice on the menu and would highly recommend the salt and pepper tofu!

Great food and super friendly and proactive staff. There's a huge amount of choice on the menu and it's all excellent - try the salt and pepper fries, they are incredible!

Phenomenal plant based restaurant. Heavenly food. Great service from delightful staff. Thoroughly recommend.

The service was shocking, the cocktails were awful and the staff were rude. They asked us to leave because we were laughing too loud! The female waitress was extremely rude and lacked any customer service skills.

Been so many times, food is always amazing! Went today for my birthday and all my non-vegan family really enjoyed it!

Ok the vibe of this place is perfect. We entered, got seated and instantly loved the design/artwork. Ordered drinks which were decent and ordered seitan salt and pepper wing's. These were amazing and gave us crazy hope for the rest of food to follow. However that's where it really started to fall short. Frickles we're good but nothing really making them stand out, no complaint on those. However the main dishes, Shepard's pie and salt and pepper tofu with noodles was just ok at best. It's seems to be pretty standard in the UK to chase and hunt down your bill. Staff were quite friendly. If you go maybe stick more to the appetizers and you must, must, must get the seitan salt and pepper wing's. They are incredible. (You can also do them in mushroom and with cauliflower).

As a pure meat eater I was highly surprised how tasty the food was would definitely recommend even if your not totally vegan.

Awesome food! Mushroom was crispy, fries well seasoned, and coleslaw to die for.🌱 Service was lovely - Griffin deserves a pay raise!😊

The salt and pepper fries are the best!

Low-key one of the best cocktail joints in the city

Not the same as it was years ago

Loved it. Great food and friendly staff.

excellent vegan food,great tasty ideas, lovely atmosphere, very dog friendly, very welcoming staff, definatley recommend,outstanding vegan desserts aswell

Tonight was my second visit to this little gem of a restaurant. I thought that my first visit was amazing, however I was wrong, tonight they took it up a level. I love this place, the food is outstanding, the staff are lovely and it's just a cool basement restaurant. My wife is not vegan or vegetarian (I am) and she loves the food here and she's the one that booked it tonight. All I can say is that the chef is a magician at creating beautiful (large) dishes with flavour.

I am a huge carnivore but after meeting the lovely Rikki, and seeing their food on line, I was intrigued by their food. So me and the family went down on Wednesday night and dined. I’ve got to say, it was bloody incredible. First of all, there was so much choice and so many things on the menu that looked bloody delicious…..so we ordered A LOT OF FOOD. I ordered the Chicken Curry with fried rice, Prawn toast and Bao Buns. I can’t remember what my wife ordered. It was truly delicious. The fried rice was my fave of all of it. Hands down the best fried rice I’ve had. Staff were all lovely and amazing and interacted with our kids. I honestly can’t fault it. It was so good, and will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu.

Brilliant place. Highly recommend! The atmosphere was great, the service was amazing and the food was delicious. What else can you ask for? The general style of the place was cool and they had good music playing. The waiters/waitresses were all really polite and they gave us free water without us even asking. The food itself was really nice. My family, who aren't even vegan, said they loved it. Would recommend. If I lived in Liverpool, I'd go here very often!

Three of us went in Sunday afternoon, we had walked past it without knowing so had to get Google maps up to find it! It's nice to go somewhere we can eat everything off the menu. We all had different variations of from the burger menu. Food was great, portions are big, and well priced too. Service was amazing, friendly and informative. Venue was lovely 😊 We'll be going back when the Sunday dinners return!

finally got around to trying this place out. Wasn't disappointed in anything but myself really as I couldn't finish my main. Really didn't need the starter, but when in Rome. Massive portions, loaded fries were the dogs and the burger was next level. already planning next trip. Dog friendly as well

Amazing plant-based Asian food. The service was excellent and our waitress made us feeling very welcome. Highly recommend the salt and pepper tofu and the ‘prawn’ toast - went down a treat with myself and vegan family members. 2 for £14 cocktail deal was great as well and felt like value for money. Highly recommend to anyone in Liverpool - plant based or not.

Went today with my partner and his daughter and everything was great. The staff was super friendly, nice and helpful, and the food was delicious, and big portions. We were full after the tasty burger and fries so came back later in the afternoon for dessert and was once again delicious. Highly recommend the place, give it a try, even if you are not necessarily on a plant based diet, there is so much choice you will find something you like, and based on your tastes the staff also recommends what you might like. Give it a try!

Friendly staff. But that's the only positive thing to say about this. The pulled pork tastes like wallpaper paste. And the smell coming from the food was nauseating. They even manage to ruin fries. Maybe replace the frying fat? Everything was soggy. Left more than half and fled quickly.

The personel is very friendly but that is nicest thing i can say about the place. How can you ruin a simple portion of fries? The pulled pork tasted like wallpaperpaste en the smell of the rest of the food was nauseating.

First visit to Liverpool and discovered this lovely place. So welcoming and friendly. We walked from the hotel to the restsurant in the rain so were slightly moist. We were served immediately and had a couple of cocktails. I had a rum cocktail. Very delicious very potent! We had starters of freckles and wings. Never tried these before and they were absolutely gorgeous. A meal in themselves served with a delicious dip. Followed by the applewood smoked seitan burger with pickles and slaw. So good. Loved the crispy burger against the soft bread and sour slaw. Better than anything I have tried anywhere. I wanted dessert but partner was stuffed. This place made our stay very special. wWill visit again to eat here. Thankyou.

Wonderful vegan place with lovely plant based food hihi

Tasty, affordable plant-based cuisine with a very wide range of options to suit any palette. A personal highlight was the deep-fried mac and cheese burger, which has been very difficult to find at other restaurants. Good location in the centre of Liverpool with a laid-back atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff.

Seen lots of great reviews here but was very shocked by the food. The food wasn’t fresh at all. Only thing that tasted okay were the chilli fries, however they were way too salty to eat. Tried two types of wings which we had to leave as the batter was so doughy. Mushrooms were sickly and in a watery sauce. Sweetcorn wings were the best thing. Had to leave most of the food as it was too sickly to eat. The idea of the meals were great however it felt like pre-packaged or reheated food. For the price of the food you’d expect fresh, good quality and home cooked food!! Massive shame :(

Brilliant! Perfect if you want a vegan experience without any hassle.
