Can't fault the Grapes. Food is lovely and Andrew and Mark are absolutely wonderful. We had such a laugh doing the Halloween Bingo. My husband and I definitely use this as our local. They're also very welcoming to dogs too.

Much improved food and service. Menu is good pub grub at a reasonable price and service was excellent. I was in a large group (20 men) and orders and service coped admirably. Under new management, and I wish them well.

It wasn’t good but it wasn’t bad. Got lukewarm at best chips with roasting hot chicken katsu curry on a roasting hot plate. I think I know which dish went into the microwave. Hungry and had 200 miles to drive immediately after so begrudgingly ate the chips rather than complaining and taking more time. Chicken tasty though to give it credit. Maybe swerve the chips and try the rice if you order? Approx £43 for 2 adult meals and 1 children’s along with drinks. Still hungry when we left so off to M&S on Liverpool Rd when leaving Formby. Outside looks very tired in places, inside much better. Staff very friendly.

First visit, went to the beach with friends and our dogs as a day trip over half term and came in during the afternoon as the weather turned. Bar staff were friendly and chatty, gave us some recommendations on their menu which has recently been revamped. So nice to have more dog friendly places to visit too! Our dogs got plenty of attention from the staff and had dog bowls with water without us asking. Food was nice, a bit of a surprise as didn’t expect much for pub grub. Friends got a mix of things for the ‘build your own sharers’ and were pleasantly surprised too. I got the prawns to start and the Thai curry as a main. It all came out quickly after ordering, was well presented and was still hot. Not local to Formby so not likely to be back often but would visit again if in the area and recommend.

Be kind to yourself and dine elsewhere. Everything about the place told me the meal would be defrosted, microwaved, tasteless muck - and I was right. The coke was flat, the Katsu Curry looked like it had been prepared by a child who used a Fisher Price kitchen - and it tasted like it too apart from the sauce which tasted worse and looked similar to the worming medicine our cat has. The burger and chips was impressive in that it didn't taste like burger and chips but more like undercooked batter, and I've not been able to get rid of the taste since. The overall experience came close to ruining the day, so in an attempt to salvage the afternoon we went to another pub that had a lovely atmosphere and charming staff, and we had a heavenly sticky toffee pudding and two delightful coffees. By the time we left the second pub, our tinnitus had just about subsided from the incessant dubstep that had been blasting out at the Grapes, and our faith in humanity was restored. Then the sun broke free from the clouds and shone once again. Now we just await the inevitable bout of antibiotic resistant e-coli to take effect. P.S the parking is free

Has so much potential but....... Big old building with the pub split across multiple levels. However maintenance and general upkeep of the pub seems to have been forgotten about, leaving it feeling old, shabby and unloved. Staff also appeared disinterested in engaging with customers. Beer ok, but not enough to make you go back here when there are far better pubs locally.

Disapointing is the polite word to use . Where to start? Very little atmosphere. We spent £50+ on 2 mains and 5 starters. We ordered on app all the food came together. When mains aŕived we informed server wed orderd it starters he said sorry they are coming now its cime through as one order tome theres a lack of common sense not to check. The food wasnt great based on previous high standards even the menu as asthetically pleasing as it is its contents/options just wasnt great. Thanks guys im in the dog house for reccomending it wont be back in a hurry

Asked for if steak and ale pie was short crust. I don't think that's an unreasonable question. Gentleman taking order said he didn't know. I asked him to please ask. Eventually I asked him to please ask the chef as the staff by the bar he asked didn't know. I was then told it was. When it came it wasn't, it was puff pastry. At this point, I gave up and didn't say anything. It was still nice though.

The manager of the pub was really rude doesn’t deal well under stress and quite frankly poor behaviour not just towards his customers but staff. I really hope for the company’s sake he is replaced soon as it’s such a lovely pub that’s been my local for years but sadly I wouldn’t want to go in there again while he is the manger. 👎 cross house is nice and the fresh field pub round the corner highly rate them.

Safe to save that could be the worst roast dinner I've ever had, roast potatoes was defo an alid frozen bag and deep fried, mash looked like it had been microwaved a few time and was dry as anything. plus half the food advertised on the menu like carrot parsnip pea and stuffing never came with the meal. Defo give this place a miss for food.

Nice friendly staff, really roomy clean and tidy in the garden area you have plenty off seats and huts with a heater that you can turn on or off, dogs are allowed in the garden and they have a nice big tv that I think the use on warm days for sports, I do recommend going to this place if nearby, what would be nice and I think would be a good idea is to use the big tv outside for the kids when the sports is not on

Very unclean place. Food was not fresh, the mash was big clumps and very dry, very little gravy added. It all tasted like it had been sitting for a while and reheated. All day breakfast was awful, no sauce on the beans, no butter on the toast, egg very dry, bacon like leather, hash browns overcooked, the sausages could have broken a window.

What made our visit even better is the amazing service we received from one of the servers Ellie - my little brother has sensory issues so dining out can sometimes be a struggle, but Ellie went above and beyond to make sure we were all comfortable and helped with every single one of our 'requests' thank you so much to Ellie and the rest of the staff - we are already looking forward to our next visit :)

Spent over £50 on food and drinks, the nachos were the worst we've ever had, sent them back twice due to them being cold and hardly any cheese on them, I've seen other reviews stating the same thing ! Also got a meatball sandwich with hardly any meatballs on, it would seem that they're rationing food despite charging customers overpriced amounts! The staff did try and sort but our appetite had gone by then. Myself and my family all went away feeling sick for the rest of the day, so I suspect some of the food was under-cooked! Wouldn't be in a hurry to return.

Selection of burgers here are really quiet simply amazing. Tonight I ordered a new burger which has been added to the menu which was called the ‘hot roast chicken burger’ and I ordered jacket potato and onion rings to accompany it. The burger was oozing with a beautiful taste of honey, topped with cheese and buttermilk chicken which was a very good size. The burger came in a fresh bun and each time I took a bite I found myself eating more. Loved it. The place has also featured burgers of the month which are also moth watering. This month it’s Texan Smokey BBQ and Bonfire chicken. The price is really reasonable too and it came with a soft drink for £11. My food came out fresh, fast with great service. Thank you!
