Egremont Ferry Hotel in Wirral

I've eaten here many times before and enjoyed it, but today's Sunday roast experience was disappointing. The location is wonderful, and the staff, as always, were lovely, but the food wasn't good. Half the roast spuds were under-cooked and inedible, the 'chicken supreme' was a dried-up cheap bit of chicken, and my coeliac friend was given ordinary bread with her starter, and then served ordinary sausages on her otherwise gluten free meal, this despite her having provided the chef with a gluten free Yorkshire pud to bake so he can't say he didn't know. It's a good job she checked before she ate it or she would have been very ill. We weren't offered a second drink, desserts, or tea and coffee. There were several other minor issues but they all added up to spoiling the occasion. Hopefully, it was a one off and I will visit again but I certainly won't risk going for Sunday lunch again.

The burger was black and really over cooked, the fish had soggy batter and the Muchy peas came out really hard. when sent back the same food came back out, but if your just going for a pint the bar staff are friendly and the views good

After many lovely meals here with my daughter and son in law, I booked a table (9) for 3 at 5pm for my son and partner (whom had never been before). At 2pm the Ferry telephoned me to ask if we could make our booking for 4pm due to volume of people. We arrived early ( 3.45) and were told that they did not have my reservation, even though they had telephoned me earlier. We were shown to our table, and were given the menu, the young gent, whom is all ways polite, took our orders and left. After approx 45 mins our order arrived which we ate. Even though we had been left the desert menu no one came to ask what we were ordering. I eventually went down to the bar to place the order which eventually arrived. Please note that we were the ONLY people upstairs !! There was a birthday party downstairs, but that should not effect other customers. I am deeply dissapointed in the way we were treated.

Excellent pub, went for lunch and club sandwiche, which was lovely and great value for money. Friendly and polite staff.

Great food, highly recommend the Cub Sandwich! Staff was very friendly 😊

We love to eat in the upper dining area with wonderful views of the Liverpool Waterfront across the River Mersey. Next time we will try to book earlier because a lot of the dishes were looking "tired" by 2pm.

A really nice pub with great good and friendly helpful staff. Wheelchair accessible area with a portable ramp.

Come here a lot for the odd pint, yet to try the food, so far so good

Staff were friendly professional attentive interesting the menu was extensive and something for everyone good quality food drinks value for money, good setting, dog friendly. The ladies toilet was very wet. The lights in the bar were really annoying as kept dimming and then go brighter then dimming again all evening. Great setting on the Mersey definitely worth a visit may need to book to eat can find them on facebook

Had a nice afternoon with the family would recommend this place

Had lovely ladies serving us today and made a real fuss of our grandson thankyou

Kitchen wasn't open due to outage, so can't rate the food. Dogs allowed so always good.

Great pub with great food and lovely views. The staff were very polite and friendly

We have been here twice before and enjoyed our lunch. On this occasion it was abysmal. We were told they are dog friendly which for us creates hygiene issues especially when all the waitresses were stroking the dogs and then serving food straight away without appearing to wash their hands. What a pity it wasn’t people friendly. As far as I’m aware dogs don’t pay the bill . The food took an eternity to arrive and when it did, the order was incorrect and had to be sent back and was in any case barely edible. Moreover, the side portion of chips arrived in a badly chipped small container. It also took an eternity to arrive and they didn’t appear to be that busy. We had tried to change our table away from the pet menagerie but despite the fact that there did appear to be tables available and they weren’t taken while we were there, we were denied that opportunity. Anyone wishing to visit the toilets had to step over three large dogs barring the passageway. How on earth this place gets a five star hygiene rating is beyond us. Avoid at all costs unless you want to dine in a dog’s home. Sent from my iPhone

We were given a cheery welcome and were served by very friendly and efficient staff, nothing was too much trouble. Six of us all enjoyed our Sunday lunch and the views over the River Mersey, plus the interesting photos displayed around the walls which prompted conversations about times past. I look forward to a return visit when we next visit our relatives on the Wirral.

Very good value and quality food. The service was friendly and quick. It's definitely worth a visit. Thank you

Fantastic views across the river mersey Food was gorgeous Lovely staff

Nice little pub on the Merseyside, brilliant views across over to Liverpool

Lovely meal ,steak cooked to perfection,service was great,friendly staff ,stunning views over the river to Liverpool will definitely be returning soon.10/10 on everything 😀.

Excellent location on the Promenade across from the new Everton stadium. Great friendly service, accessible and good kitchen. Yorkshire beer!

This place is in a great location looking over the City of Liverpool and the new Everton Football stadium. We popped in for a coffee and the atmosphere was OK. Service was slow. Didn't try the food, but would go again if in the area again.

Great place, wonderful views. Good food. You'll need to book for busy days times, but a great place to stop for a coffee or a pint if you walking the prom.

Lovely place to be with friends , staff fantastic customer service very professional and friendly. Great views over Liverpool.

Great meal salt n pepper chicken wings to start and gluten free-fish and chips and chicken tikka curry as main just as requested - amazing customer service would highly recommend. Shannon, Jamie , Nikki and Adam the chef always excel themselves - love it at the eggy ferry 🥰

Good food, good prices, great views, friendly Staff.

Lovely home cooked style food, very friendly staff, good value for money.

Out for a little walk and called in The Ferry. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We had a pint, a large glass of wine, and a packet of crisps with a great view.....Well worth a visit. 👍🏻

Recommended by a friend saying the scouse was lovely. It was not the potatoes were hard and the meat was chewy. Took my mum for lunch and I would never go again.

Absolutely a fantastic place to eat. Staff are as lovely as the food. Congratulations to whoever owns this little gem looking out on the river Mersey.

The food was excellent but think the Knickerbokerglory contained small nuts which we weren't told about when ordering could be dangerous if someone had an alergy We ate downstairs which was fine but the room was cold so some of the enjoyment was taken out of the evening The staff were fantastic as usual

Great place on the river mersey Great views lovely staff Great food and great value 😀

Food is fab and great value. Staff are friendly and helpful. As I was the designated driver, I would have loved an espresso or a fruit tea but I had to settle for proper tea. I can only imagine that this is mobbed in the Summer. Definitely having a return visit.

The pub epitomises average. No matter who runs it or how hard the staff works, the location and subsequent clientele bring negativity from the get-go. Many will have enjoyed a reasonable meal in reasonable peace. There are also some tremendous views from the bar and dining areas. Skip past the average food and service. All too often, there will be noisy children, an irregular influx of boisterous diners, and occasionally the air of a tumultuous argument pending. Parking is free and plentiful, but obviously differs during peak times. Good access to the Prom and either the Spaceport or activities in New Brighton. Bus routes within walking distance.

We had a lovely lunch here whilst we were in the area and the food was lovely. This place never disappoints. On the day there were only 2 staff running the bar, taking orders and bringing the food to tables, but they still did it with a smile and were very helpful. Well done ladies, some customers were complaining about waiting for food but we feel these ladies coped admirably under the pressure. We will certainly be back thank you for a lovely lunch.

Came here on a Sunday with my fiancé. I have to say it has been everything you want from a good pub meal. We had a roast with lamb which was filling and satisfying - we'd started with the pâté, perfect to begin with as it was fresh and meaty without filling us up. The service has been excellent - all the staff have been attentive, polite, and it only added to the fun atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and we loved watching ships pass across the mersey on what was a wintery and foggy day.

As a person not from this kneck of the wood's the food was amazing and cooked to profection the staff was friendly and food came out fast will definitely be visiting again the views was spatacula thankyou for a lovely meal.

Highly recommend the fish and chips with a side of onion rings, delicious. The view is beautiful even on a rainy day. Friendly welcoming staff and service is always quick but not rushed.

Staff were absolutely brilliant

Love this pub, my favourite in the area. The staff are so friendly and lovely, the food is amazing quality and great prices, and the views of the Liverpool water front are great. 10/10!

Nice enough place and lovely for a walk before a beer.

Wonderful team always welcoming and friendly the food is superb

I have often passed The Ferry whilst walking along the promenade from New Brighton to Seacombe, and always liked the look of it! I was not disappointed when I recently visited for lunch with my wife and a Chinese friend. We were given a window table on the first floor, and the view across the Mersey on what was a very cold but sunny winter's day, was amazing. Food was very reasonably priced and all three of us enjoyed our meal. Service was excellent and the staff very friendly and attentive. Will definitely return.

Disappointed with the quality of Sunday roasts

Visited with my wife for lunch, excellent service, lovely friendly staff, well cooked food. The views are wonderful

First time here. Amazing food all round, quick, efficient, friendly, helpful staff. 150 quid for 7 adults with main meals, several starters and additional sides and several puddings and drinks. Will be definitely going back and would certainly recommend. So glad we found this place. Love it.

Had the garlic mushrooms which were lovely. Lots of mushrooms too . Had the ferry burger. Was very tasty. Very good service too. Always awkward eating on my own but was made to feel welcome. Would recommend

Social lunch. Chose Spring rolls for first course and then had the best Scouse in Yorkshire Pudding topped off with red cabbage. Other half had Scampi and Chips. All whilst we had the best views of the Mersey and watching the Ships go by.

Got a really nice welcome when we arrived and were seated with our menus. I really enjoyed my Ferry Burger, but my son was a little disappointed with his Scouse (which should be a selling point). It may be that he has incredibly high expectations though. Really nice cosy pub though.

Allways delicious amazing food and drink the best around by far. With beautiful views across the mersey highly recommend to everyone. Everyone is so friendly and helpful you couldn't ask for more

Quite disappointed. Looks great from outside but music was too loud and beer was warm, like too, warm.

Nice location. Great view over the river Mersey. The ferry had a nice relaxing atmosphere. Lovely staff . We will definitely return x

Excellent pub grub, with great views of Liverpool. Very friendly and efficient waiting staff, would be good to be able to leave a tip on a card payment rather than rely on people having cash. Highly recommended. We'll visit again

Lovely pub I had sausage and mash peas onion gravy, sausages was a bit undercooked we had a sticky toffee pud with custard but there was this awful brown sauce I didn't like it was gritty and too sweet ,it would of been OK with just the sticky toffee sponge and custard but the other sauce was not nice.

What a pleasant surprise this pub was, we came across during a family walk along the waterfront. The views are amazing, staff were very warm and welcoming. Food was fantastic, we had a Sunday roast and starters the children also had desserts. Our orders were taken swiftly, we were served drinks and then food came out whilst we were admiring the lovely view. We will absolutely be returning, thank you x⁸

Fantastic staff and lovely food

We have been a few times over the last couple of weeks and once again it was amazing food and lovely friendly staff . Highly recommended!

Is a lovely pub but food disappointing and a lot for what it was. I got a leek and potato soup which came in a very small bowl and it just tasted like a bowl of cream. The chips were uncooked, no-one ate because potatoes still hard. Seemed rushed.

Our favourite place for a break once cycling in New Brighton.

This spot is great for an amazing view and some gastro pub type food. Would recommend to others. I have ordered the salt and pepper wings countless times and they are never bad. Waiting times can vary depending on how busy the restaurant is. Most of the time it is quite busy.

Good but delicious food. However when it comes to paying for the food you can't pay individually you have to either pay for the whole group or split it in half of the group I would recommend it for families but not for groups of six friends that's why I've given it a three star rating I wish to have given it higher.

Ordered steaks medium we got rare and very rare , ordered a pepperoni pizza very thin soggy base overcooked cheese too much tomato sauce on base awful. Lasagne was begging for bit more salad . We asked apple pie custard it arrived on a plate no bowl so made it awkward to pour custard. Your presented with too many menus it's confusing, but no drinks menu when we asked drinks menu, server not eager to go get it so settled for coke. Not a great experience, would go back for tea cake as views lovely, but hot food no.

Great pub with friendly staff, nice place to call in after a long walk 🍻

Great pub with lovely views over the river and great prices. Main meals £10 to £13 apart from steak. With prices like this we will be back again.

In Liverpool for the weekend, got the ferry over and nipped in hoping for a bit of tea...Incredibly tasty food,amazing value. The service was second to none. Highly recommend

Came here for my 50th Birthday had an amazing meal Excellent staff highly recommend .will deffo return

Great food and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend the steak&Ale pie. It was delicious.

Lovely place to eat ,very friendly and helpful staff. Food is very nice indeed 😋 👌 Very reasonably priced on this side of the Mersey

Second visit and will definitely come again. Food is excellent, friendly and efficient service and very reasonably priced. A nice setting by the Mersey, a really good place to eat and drink.

We love The Ferry, great views, super staff and proper food.

Great place, dog friendly... Very loud family nudging us was offputting

Great little find with nice food that filled a hole and some great views.

Great service great food brilliant help on the disabled entrance was really appreciated thank you so much

Called in on the way home from New Brighton - Lovely little pub with amazing views!

Nice for a good pint of Guinness on the prom.

Fabulous place really friendly staff great food

Came over to see the queen mary 2 and called in for some dinner , I asked for a plain chicken fillet burger and my boyfriend had the ferry burger , both really really enjoyed it , coleslaw was perfect too , my only issue was the coffee , i had a latte and it was way too strong and gemma the waitress did replace it and give me extra hot milk but I still couldn’t drink it with how strong it was , other than that I think we would definitely visit again , thanks

On a walk,stopped a cup of tea,amazing views

Great place facing the River Mersey. Always enjoy our meals here. Staff pleasant and friendly.

Have been here a few times with friends. The food is always good and the service is quick and friendly. Staff lovely and helpful. I would definitely recommend. Plus side is the loos are spotless!

Visited here for lunch, midweek. Usually full at lunchtime.We were lucky but the helpful staff suggested pre booking in future. Not surprised, it filled up quickly. Shown to a table upstairs overlooking the river Mersey. The lunch menu consisted of various dishes at £7.50 each, a nice surprise. Regular menu was available too. Apart from the service and quality, explains why it appears popular. Recommended.

We visit for drinks now and then and tried the Sunday roast recently. Unfortunately we were all disappointed, the mashed potato and gravy was watery, hardly any meat and it was all quite bland. Other meals look really nice and the staff are all lovely. We'll return for drinks but not for food.

Return visit for me. Such a great spot with those amazing 👍 views. Guinness £5.50 a pint when I popped in August 2024. And nicely poured it was too. Bookings only for lunch.

I normally really enjoy this pub on our cycle days. The views are to die for and beer, service are normally great.. Can't rate on food as never eaten there.. But unfortunately I've had my first bad experience on Sunday. I've had the WORST coffee (flat white)of my life.. Like honestly it was so bad I couldn't even drink it.. It looked like dish water with soap on top.. Just look after your machine better or get a better coffee please guys this is embarrassing your business for no reason and it can be fixed easily.

Lovely place to stop and rest after a long walk.

Not been to The Ferry for thirty plus years but the reviews are very good so booked in for a family celebration. We waited more than an hour for the food which was very average. The staff were doing their best but service was simply too slow and then they ran out of various desserts. Ice cream sundae was just ice cream in a bowl! But the view was great and it was good to be with the family.

Had an amazing roast here a couple of years ago. Returned today and had possibly the worst roast ive ever had. One thin slice of meat, gravy like water and one small plate of veg between 3. Grim. Its a nice for for a beer but won't return anytime soon for a roast.

Called in on a long walk down the promenade on a weekend break to New Brighton. Would of liked food but unfortunately it was nearly 8.30pm and they stop food at 8pm but we were not bothered and said we were not really hungry. Had a couple of drinks then walked back to our Abnb. Very friendly and good atmosphere.

A very high-quality PUB in a very beautiful location on the riverbank. The food was tasty, the service friendly and fast. Inside, good facilities on three floors, as well as a large outdoor terrace where you can enjoy the sun. The scenery is amazing, the tall buildings of Liverpool on the other side of the river and pleasant walking opportunities on your own beach, a well-maintained walking and cycling path following the shoreline. There is always boat traffic on the river, which is nice to watch. At low tide, a little sandy beach is visible. And thank you again. Perfect god fish.

Love the ferry! Been many times. The location is amazing, who can fault the views from there especially on a nice day. Place looks great since the refurbishment with the new doors making downstairs & beer garden all open planned. The staff are absolutely second to non, make everyone feel so welcome, always service with a smile! Food has been lovely every time! Just a shame on our last visit the drunk boss was loudly speaking/belittling the staff from the table across from the bar, customers could sense the shift in atmosphere as staff all seemed on edge but still gave 10/10 service to the customer. Treat you staff better please they are what the customers return for!!

Only stopped in for a drink. Sat outside. Staff lovely. My new local.... will definitely be back now I'm round the corner!

Under new management, I assume, as way better than the last time we were there. Food was acceptable, service a bit slow, but you can't beat the view. We'll definitely be back.

Food fantastic great service and lovely atmosphere great view also

Stopped off here for a pint with my dad. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The drinks were good and sensibly priced.

Came here for late lunch with the family. It was pre booked but not needed as the place was pretty quiet. The only eating area is up a flight of stairs which is not great for elderly relatives! Also we seemed to get forgotten about and several times had to go downstairs to ask for things. There were lots of things on the menu that they didnt have available which was disappointing. The server also kept forgetting to bring up some of the plates and drinks - for us, and the nearby table too. They had a bit of an attitude and practically threw stuff on the table, clearly just didn't want to be there. It was super hot sitting by the big windows which admittedly had a lovely view, but we were all sticking to the fake leather seats! No one checked on us if we needed more drinks or if the food was ok. We had to go down and ask about deserts - we all wanted something cold - and we were told someone would be up soon to take an order as they were busy (the place was practically empty) It took a while but eventually our order of sundaes was taken, however all we got were bowls with 3 scoops of plain icecream and some strawberry sauce for £5 each?, Where was the wafer? The fruit? Rip off. A couple of our party went to use the toilets, the mens had no cubicle only urinals and the womens only seemed to be a disabled loo available, very odd. Might be an ok place for a drink and views but not one for enjoying a nice meal.

Fabulous food, service, price, very happy

10/10 for service and food with lovely views Bit of a hidden gem No sure what the waitresses name was but she was lovely

Popped in for a pint when passing on my bike ride. Excellent location on the river Mersey with plenty of seating outside.

Visited this pub whilst visiting Liverpool as we stayed nearby. Food piping hot and delicious, great service and lovely views over The Mersey. Was so impressed, we went back the following night and had an identical great experience. Thank you all.

Visited this pub whilst visiting Liverpool as we stayed in Wallasey about a 20 minute walk away. Food piping hot and delicious, great friendly service and lovely views over The Mersey. Was so impressed, we went back the following night and had an identical great experience. Thank you all.

Went for lunch today and it was absolutely lovely . Staff were really friendly and helpful and food was amazing ! Highly recommended.
