Hoylake Lights in Wirral

Not enough sauce with the pasta so it ended up being stodgy. Chicken on the top was good.

Best wetherspoons on the wirral.

As Wethers go it's one of the best and at October 2024 it still is

Breakfast was simple but very nice and tasty . Very good value.

Great day out lovely atmosphere and stag Def return

FIRST VISIT FOR MYSELF AND A FRIEND, RESONABLY PRICED GUEST BEERS FOOD LOOKED WELL COOKED, CLOSE TO LOCAL TRANSPORT AND OTHER AMENITIES WE WILL REGULAR VISITS 😀 JIM.

A nice very well priced spoons bar staff very good

Very well run.. Great staff.. 👍

It's a Wetherspoon so does what it says on the tin. Waiting staff were friendly. Pub was nicely presented.

Food is typical wetherspoons fair and cheap. Atmosphere can be a bit noisy at times but it is a popular place.

So fast the service. Couldn’t fault the food or service.

Just been here for 58th wedding anniversary, food awful, was refunded, but night was ruined, steak I wouldn't have given it to my dog, chips reheated and cold, mushrooms and tomatoes overcooked 😭

Poached egg on toast lovely - great prices with free tea and coffee refills

Really good beers at great prices and decent food with great service.

Decided to have breakfast here before going walking, it was hot,well presented and served by a polite staff member,highly recommend, value for money.

This was my favourite spoons on the Wirral. Good food, lively atmosphere and fairly quick service. Small beer garden that can be a sun trap. Close to the train station

Always good value, food an drinks excellent for the price. One of the brightest Wetherspoons, some others are so dark! ! Lovely outside space, both in front an nice garden seating out back. Staff really helpful and efficient.

Visited last Sunday. Food was lovely and hot. Kids pizza was freshly made. Very impressed

quiet and laid back , older clientle , one of the nicest spoons I have visited.

Lovely staff nice food relaxing atmosphere good prices

Great wetherspoons food drink always spot on and good staff.

Very pleasant pub...helpful bar staff all round nice place.. Will stay for food next visit..

Nice and quiet at the time of going, Sunday post lunch! Good selection of seating both inside and out. Access from back to surrounding streets meant not having to walk through the entire pub to get back to the car!

Lovely meal, great beer - tidy pub can't ask for more

Very smart and inviting Spoons. As always, beautifully decorated.

Hardworking, motivated, dedicated staff. A valuable for money, got to pub, it's also a hub of the community :)

Stopped off here whilst visiting family nearby. Needed a quick and cheerful meal, so this was ideal. The usual fast service and perfectly reasonable meal. They might not win a Michelin Star, but it’s quick and cheap, so can’t grumble. Good range of food and drinks.

Food was good. Staff very friendly

A quiet Spoons after a walk along the Hoylake promenade.

Food was mint but got shouted at for Ordering a portion of gravy with a curry. Bit odd that. I didn't even do anything it was all this dude

eeeee saw this guy eating chips without his hands and just his tongue rank

Had a great time until a waitress tried to kick me and a few buddies out as we ordered some sides with our meal.

Food really good in there for Wetherspoon.

It's a weatherspoons. You're not gonna get Michelin stars here.But the food is filling,basic fayre,and the beers fairly cheap....Just paid a visit with my mate. He had a pint of guiness,very reasonably priced, and I had the large cod,chips, and mushy peas,throughly enjoyed it with a pint of ice cold lager.👍

Great staff, very average food, place worn and tatty

This is one amazing pub, where can you get a good meal and a drink for under a £5. Here that’s where, I don’t do reviews but honestly please don’t ever change, you can pop in get ham egg and chips decent portion and a drink for £4.91 I ask you is that not amazing these days please don’t change we love coming here.

No Vegetarian breakfast available, no alternative offered, this is not the first time it has happened too! You never hear of them running out of standard breakfasts, so this is either discrimination of vegetarians, complete disorganisation, or both! The fact that vegetarian food keeps longer means there is no excuse not to keep enough onsite to cover demand, a shame the same regard towards meat eaters isn't extended to vegetarians, it reflects badly on Wetherspoons and does hint of it's only vegetarians it doesn't matter! As it's happened a few times now, I don't think their attitude/ prejudice will change, so avoid if you're a vegetarian and go to a place that doesn't discriminate.

You can't beat Spoons for breakfast. The coffee is good and the price is excellent.

Obviously cheap & cheerful. Food edible but a bit naf & cold. My friend had 'Wiltshire ham' which really wasn't & a funny colour. I had the American burger which was small & a bit cold but tasty.

Food always great and smashing prices on ales and wines. Nice relaxed atmosphere, enjoy no piped music or blaring TV's

The staff are great, and you don't have to cross the himalayas to get to the loo 🤣

Typical Spoons! Okay food, cheap drinks, great staff, Especially VICKY behind the bar and FATIMA on the floor area 👍

Great staff Great prices...busy an waited less than five mins for hot breakfast

Really nice full English breakfast

Great food & beer cheap, staff very nice & helpful.

Always decent food great friendly staff too but really do wish spoons played music in background many people say it sadly it feels very flat

Great value, cheap and cheerful. Staff were very friendly and efficient.

Good variety of beers and drinks plus the food was at a very good price, the reason for the low score is because when I went to get cocktails (which were on the two for £10 offer) the staff told me that only two of the drinks were available, neither being my choice. One drink I requested was an espresso martini, which they had apparently run out of. I could clearly see that the ingredients were available - especially as I could see another member of staff pouring the Kahlua behind her! I pointed this out and the staff member just shrugged her shoulders. I was never expecting a cocktail bar experience with all the bells and whistles, but if you have an offer you should provide the services! The two drinks that I eventually got from her were watery and tasteless. Beer was good though.

We have been here a few times on a Saturday afternoon and the service in here is excellent, especially the lad with a beard and bald head. He's always friendly and welcoming and always has a smile on his face. We will be going this afternoon and every Saturday due to this and also the prices are very good. Eg a real ale and pint of lager for £5! You won't get that cheaper anywhere in meols and Hoylake. Keep up the good work mate 👍

Been a few time always good service and nice food

You cannot beat this pub for fish chips and mushy peas.

Food was good and excellent value. Service was really fast, staff were very friendly. Atmosphere was good. Definitely a place that deserves a return visit.

Nice and clean and friendly staff with good Christmas atmosphere ☺️

Lovely place foid great, only one disappointment when ordering a drink they didn't have and diet coke or lemonade had to have tea instead 😲

Great place to eat. Efficient staff. Nice atmosphere. The tables are clean or someone will clean it straight away. The food is always perfect, it’s Wethies but it’s really good and well priced.

Good value 👏 it does what it says on the tin and keeps the pissheads happy

Ever faithful, always hits the spot.

The interior is looking tired. However the staff and offerings are great. Can't be eat the prices. The sunsets would be fab if they built a roof terrace

Value for money Pleasant accessible Worth a return visit

It's a Wetherspoons, so cheap and cheerful. One of the nicer Wetherspoons.

It was a nice Wetherspoons, service was very good as was the beer.

We have visited in the past but before I started reviewing on here. We had a breakfast tgat time and it was delicious. A few years on we called in for a quick lunch. We both had a crispy chicken burger and it was absolutly delicious. It arrived quickly and hot and was very satisfactory. A nice atmosphere and busy even though it was lunchtime in the middle of the week. Would recommend if in Hoylake, maybe if the golf is on as its literally within a stones throw of the Royal Liverpool golf course. On street parking along the high street

First visited Dec '19 :Visited about 10am on Christmas eve. It was quiet, ordered a traditional breakfast and an American breakfast. 10 minute wait (which is acceptable) but it seems mine was left out while my wife's was still being cooked so not as hot as I would like.. As always you can't knock a spoons brekkies for the price. First time visit and would visit again. Very clean, staff always seen on the move cleaning tables quickly. *UPDATE Oct '23 : Calledbin while passing through for a quick lunch. Ordered 2 crispy chicken burgers. Arrived very quickly and also hot and they were very nice. Smaller plates than normal meals but as it was only a quick lunch snack it was still a good size. Quite busy but it's a spoons so execpected. Great food & great service 👍.

Great prices, friendly staff, fast service, what's not to like!

really nice staff and food was good 👍

Everything you'd expect from a Wetherspoons. Nicer than uour average tho.

You know what you get from Whetherspoons so shouldn't be expecting gourmet food. Food however is good and value for money. This is the best Whetherspoons on west wirral and has a good vibrant atmosphere.

Only went in for a coke,.but nice friendly staff and atmosphere

Great service with a smile at all times.

Very nice. very clean pub and nicely situated in the town centre

Best value and a lovely place to eat, great staff serving with a smile.

Always hot food on a hot plate. Magic..

I love a burger. Ive paid £15 in a so called gastro pub ! . You can't beat the lights bbq burger

Good atmosphere and great staff/service

Just called in for a coffee but fantastic value! Two cups of coffee for £2 and as many refills as you'd like. The coffee was really nice too.

I have been coming here on my own for my tea/dinner after work at least twice a month for over a year ( you can check my Wetherspoons account ) and never needed to complain as its always been great. However today, the service was OK not as cheery as usual but ordering at the bar food and the food was awful x Reheated steak that was looking way past its best and tasted of garlic x Also nobody came to check how everything was, I was going to tell the clearly overworked manager who was trying to serve with her arm in a sling until I heard her saying that all the staff were off 😫 sick. Maybe an idea to put a sign up saying short staffed, or better still close the kitchen as the people on the table by me said their food seemed reheated too x Such a shame but it was awful .

Was here this morning got served and made a genuine mistake about table number I order to 23 not 32 and when the waitress turned up with my food she slammed it in the table and said it’s 32 not 23 didn’t ask me if I wanted sauces and was really rude totally ruined my day wife’s crying

A great pub! Enjoyed a few glasses of wine and shared a pizza with the wife. I cannot believe how good the pizzas are! Dominos are a short walk away but would not go there. The curry night is fantastic quality and value. Sir Tim's team at Hoylake Lights are commendable. Thank you.

Rude, obnoxious and aggressive. Zero understanding of how beer lines work and the damage faulty lines can do to the equipment. Needs retraining or shipped to a different venue.

Stopped for breakfast after a beach walk Dow Stanley road, I ordered the mushroom Benedict(not vegan haha just wanted healthy) the food serving was very quick and very tasty but the yolk was solid and mushroom was cold under the sauce, still tasty I wouldn’t complain, the place was clean, the staff were friendly

4 people popped in for drink, had already paid when realised gin and tonic in plastic 1/2 pint glass, asked why and was told short of staff, glasses not being washed? Had drink and left

I have been living here for over four years and have visited numerous weatherspoons and have been left in awe by this specific pub. The service and the steak I ordered was first class. I seen a chef walk out the kitchen and called him over to pay compliments to; Liam. Excellent service. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Hoylake

The food and place, I can't complain, they where first rate, but what sucked the enjoyment out of our "birthday breakfast experience" was the manner in which I was spoken (no correction, shouted at). I committed the crime of removing the dirty glasses from our table to the end of the bar. Where I found sanitizer and a cloth, which I used to wipe our table down. I've never been spoken to in the rude manner and belittled in front off the other customers before. I was too much in shock, as a lady of 68 years, to complain at the time. The young man (who looked in his twenties and young enough to be my grandson), I believe must have been in charge. I believe his outrageous behaviour was not warranted. I will never go back to this Weatherspoons again. I hope someone who reads this gets this message to him and I hope he is suitably ashamed of his manners.

Manger was rude , felt very unwelcome , wouldn’t visit again , such a shame considering it is my local

Went in for a large veggie breakfast and coffee. The young ladies serving at the bar and on food service were outstanding: polite, cheerful, helpful and pleasant. They came to ask if everything was OK with the meal, which it was...

My son and I visited this Wetherspoons Pub last week for a bite to eat and we’re not disappointed. Clearly Hoylake Lights is popular as it was very busy around 5 pm midweek. The food, drinks and service was excellent and a very pleasant atmosphere. We shall be coming back soon

Lovely amazing service at weatherspoons Hoylake Lights tonight. Staff were very friendly there was also a mix up with my daughters meal even though she had already started eating it. Half way through and she cut her steak to realise it was still pink so we asked a member of staff to ask the chef to cook it more to which she bought out a whole new meal and even offered us a fresh round of drinks. Thank you so much made our meal really enjoyable

I have never been particularly disappointed when visiting any Wetherspoon pub. They consistently offer good value for money. I visited this venue during a day trip to the Wirral last week with my son. The pub has a nice homely feel to it and is very tastefully decorated and very clean. The very personable young bespectacled woman, whom I assume is the manageress, works like a woman possessed, scuttling around everywhere ensuring that customers are being looked after, happy with their meals, checking to ensure that meals are being brought out of the kitchen as quickly as possible etc etc!! Very impressive! Although the pub was quite busy we were served very quickly. I have said in previous reviews that I would never give a Wetherspoons pub a 5 star rating, simply because there are higher class venues and Wetherspoons' are after all just "pub grub" specialists. On this occasion however, it would be churlish of me not to award 5 stars as we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals as well as the service and pleasant venue

I’ve visited Hoylake Lights many times and really enjoyed the food and the staff were really lovely. However, the last two times we’ve visited, I know we’re in lockdown etc but the guy on the bar is really officious and arrogant. The way he speaks to customers is truly awful. Where has the lovely pub manager gone, he was lovely and very helpful. I won’t be going into Hoylake Lights again, who needs that attitude!!

Staff here are very friendly and explained how things work. Other customers were trying to push there luck but staff were doing an amazing job. Other pubs in the area are a free for all so felt very safe

Great local and great prices, but the lack of consistency around the Covid rules is very confusing. Essentially, if you’re a regular you can do what you like - you can eat with multiple mates, not order food with a drink, pull chairs over to sit in a big group, and have as many drinks as you like. If you’re not a regular, you MUST order food with a drink, you MUST only have 2 rounds after food, you CANNOT pull chairs over, you MUST obey the rules. Very frustrating

No consistency. If you’re a regular drinker they’re allowing you to do what ever you want. I’ve just sat and watched 2 regulars drinking pints before picking up a menu... no questions, just smiles. I tried to order a drink only to have the rules barked at me. I don’t mind the rules but be consistent please. Have had similar when tried to fit my 3 children round a table and had to move a chair... had the chair grabbed off me and rules barked at me again. Turned to look at the large group of drinkers all standing round a table for 4. No staff approaching them. Drinkers rule, who cares about the diners it would seem!

Never visited before, probably never will again. A real mixed bag, staff and service excellent, food good and reasonably priced but the pub is looking tired and in need of a spruce up. Main thing that put us off was a couple of lads using very colourful language, did not expect this in Hoylake.Covid controls in place with sanitizing stations placed at entrance and staff encouraging track and trace procedure.

Typical spoons, cheap and not cheerful. Manky beer, scruffy tables and no atmosphere. Plenty of better bars to go to in the village.

Its a weatherspoons...expect nothing less or more...food is OK to low standard but priced as such and alcohol is good value...

Been here many times since we moved to Hoylake. Cheap and cheerful and good value. Great selection of drinks available

Popped in early evening for dinner and a drink. Sadly, most of the tables were dirty, uncleared from previous occupiers with glasses and plates scattered about. The bar area was just as bad, the glass return area was overflowing along the bar and menus had been discarded on the bar and the floor. We were hungry and ordered, food arrived quickly, sadly it didn’t occur to the young lad who delivered our food to the table, that he should take some of the dirty plates and glasses away with him. I can’t see is returning anytime soon.

Hi carol and john thank for alovely two day room spotless breakfast was very nice and guest was quite nice to realaxin went to meet family one in hoylake light cheers antony bodley

Sunday brunch with our grandson. Lovely calming decor. Food arrived quickly and piping hot. Really meaty sausage, not too spicy. Delicious. Spotless toilets. We sat in a lovely little booth raised up slightly from the rest of the pub. Very cosy.

Landed in this small place unexpectedly and couldn't fine anywhere to eat. Usual relief when we saw a Wetherspoons - you know it is gonna be decent, cheap and cheerful...and it was. Great service and friendly staff. Usual massive menu where you could eat something different every day for a whole month. No need to look at prices really as everything is so cheap. Good quality food and cheap drinks...though it does make me giggle that they have wine on tap! Great all round.
