Inside No.4 in Sefton

Lovely food, great service, the staff are super friendly and helpful. Best coffee in crosby.

family meal on Sunday 3 rd November, 9 of us all agreed it was the best meal and service we have experienced in a long time , 10 / 10 . definitely recommend

We all had a fabulous time on Sunday. The roast was amazing, staff so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them. The sticky toffee pudding was awesome We will be back

I hosted a private party here for over 40 guests, and everything was perfect. The food was delicious and catered to everyone’s needs, including great gluten-free options for myself. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the entire process. The Sunday roasts looked amazing as we saw them being served in the restaurant—we’ll definitely be back to try them!

I was hesitant going after seeing the reviews, but we had a brilliant experience. It was a busy Sunday lunch day with a big party in the restaurant too. We were a table of 4 - 2 adults and 2 children. If you’re looking for fast food this isn’t the place for you - maybe try a Toby Carvery? The food was lovely when it arrived and we didn’t feel like it was a long wait. The kids ate their food, which is always a good sign. The cheesecake was delicious. I heard another customer complaining about the wait for their food and the way she spoke to the waiting staff made me cringe. Such an entitled and rude customer stating “we came in before that big party and they received food before us”. Completely unaware that if it’s a big party it’s likely they pre-ordered their food, and some food takes longer than others…! Our experience with staff was absolutely fine. Would definitely return. Happy Sunday lunch!

The worst meal I have ever eaten , my dinner guest felt the same. The main courses and the vegetable courses arrived cold, we sent them back they reappeared a fraction warmer, I ordered beef bourguignon , a simple dish without too much complication. A stew with red wine. What arrived was a disk of Flaked shredded beef pushed into a circle the way you might serve crab , so overcooked its flacid little shreds had no taste at all, and an appalling texture , in fact we both came to the conclusion that the meat on both our plates ( my guest had the belly pork ) had obviously been cooked many many days ago had been frozen and reheated so many times it had lost all recognition .. It was really really bad... The starters ,the usual, frozen deep fried affair , but at least we knew what we were getting and they were nice enough .. Squid, Prawns and a dip. My guest dessert, a shop bought cheesecake , i had the only flavour of ice cream, vanilla and i poured an espresso over it and it became the highlight of the night.Our waitress was very good and tipped appropriately ,the wine was very expensive for what it was. So not a place i would recommend or choose to return to ... The main courses were really the worst, and in the light of day i feel a bit offended , the chef must not care or does not know.

Superb delicious food. Great staff. Great drinks. Great atmosphere. Great surroundings and to top it all off a kickin DJ who played anything we wanted!

A catch up with sisters ended in a lovely visit to Inside No 4. We choose from the Brunch menu, food was delicious, service quick and friendly. We will definitely return next time we get together, thank you for a great time

Goodness the waiting staff done there best but the actual bar staff (managment )no ,we wait 35mins for an order of 2 drinks it was diabolical, if you could just go the bar and order and pay for your own drink it would be OK but that wasn't allowed defo need a rethink on this one mate .

Too many people without masks allowed to visit but I suppose it needs customers to survive. Customers not staff the problem. Friendly place, excellent food and service and will revisit.

What a nice little venue. Thank you. Well maintained good food and good drinks. We complimented the chef for the food, great fillet steak, eggs with steak, philly steak, and tremendous mash! The service could have been better having to ask a couple of times for drinks, but it didn't stop us leaving a good tip. Plus, dog friendly. Thank you, and we will visit again next time we go for a stroll along the beach! Cheers

Was a little hesitant to come due to the recent negative reviews, but did based on a recommendation from a friend. We ended up sitting outside with our dog and the outside area is gorgeous and well looked after. I had the halloumi bites and fries which were diviiiiiiine. Husband had a burger and garlic bread with cheese. They were very good with allergies as I am coeliac and I felt safe eating there.

We were really looking forward to having a meal here but our experience didn't hit the mark. We booked a table at 6.30pm for 6 people but needed to add another to our party which they said was fine but as the restaurant was fully booked we would need to make room on the table allocated to us, which we said would be ok. On arrival the waitress did take our drink orders and they were delivered quickly. She advised there were no spare table for our additional guest but they would try & find a spare chair. We managed to place the additional setting at the end of our table but we found that for the rest of the evening no other tables were filled! Obviously it was too much effort for them to move a small table in the space available Our food order wasn't taken for almost an hour after our arrival which was disappointing. Our Waitress has to be asked if we can order our food which she did. Very disappointed that she didn't check if any guests had an allergy or food intolerance which is very wrong We all ordered from the set menu 5 having starters and main courses 2 having main course and desserts. The starters arrived 4 ordered hummus and pittas the hummus was nice but a couple said their pittas were over cooked and dry The mains were delicious and everyone enjoyed their choice The 2 desserts ordered were the popcorn sundaes which were very nice but instead of a sundae spoon a standard dessert spoon was provided which was unsuitable for the dessert. It's a real shame that they don't take care of details as the food itself was very good it's the service that failed on all levels. Would I go back ? Id have to say no as there are a lot better restaurants in the area

Was there for a farewell gathering with family ..Bit noisy but, staff were really lovely & looked after us ..

Awful experience for a birthday lunch, meals turn up in random times with one of the group eating 30 minutes after everyone else, roast dinner contained more salt than Crosby beach and unless you want to deal with a manager as incompetent as Basil Fawlty then I'd avoid this place at all cost. He didn't even give a damn what anyone complained about and shirked any responsibility of offering a solution to the issues raised. Jog on to somewhere else if I were you.

Outside seats were uncomfortable. Waiting staff although very pleasant took ages to serve drinks and the food took ages to come and it seemed to be a problem to get all the meals out together. Quite disappointing.

Held a party in the conservatory, food was good, but drinks service was very slow seemed to be just 1 girl taking drinks orders for 40 people, also previously advised that a play list could be played via blue tooth from a phone until private entertainment was ready, this did not work although they was helpful this should of been looked into prior to avoid dissapointment. Overall tho a nice venue and would probably use again but request more staff.

After having a lovely Sunday Lunch we decided to return and have dinner. We'll was so disappointed both meals were only warm - we asked for them to heat up for us but when they came no difference in the temperature and chef never bothered to re-garnish them so looked awful. Service was poor as the young waitress was run off her feet. Asked for my dessert to have cream instead of ice cream but had to send it back as order came with the ice-cream!

Visited here on a Tuesday and had the 2 course offer. We had soup and prawns to start. The soup was lovely and thick homemade style. Both had burgers which were huge and really tasty! Kids had burger and nuggets and really enjoyed them. our server, Megan, was great. Really friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back!

Had a lovely time in the covered dog friendly garden area. Megan was the wonderful member of staff who made sure we were well looked after. Even better, our puppy got the royal treatment from her! Will definitely return.

Tom was lovely and very attentive, we had a lovely time at Inside no4. Service and food perfect as always. Best place to book for a birthday, event - brilliant.

Had a lovely relaxed couple of hours with my family, food was delicious. Drinks a bit expensive, but will come back again without a doubt.

Food was lovely. But, we were sitting for a long time waiting for starter and no drinks. Not even water was served until we had to go and ask after starter was served. Wouldn't be much good if someone choked on food or burned their mouth. But the food was very nice

Went here the other night and the service was excellent our server Megan made sure that we had everything that needed and checked on us to ensure that we were enjoying are food and drinks which I would definitely the general it is a lovely cocktail would come here again

This place is a must go to food unreal and staff our fantastic so down to earth not to mention the manager director and nick the waitress staff or bloody a brilliant laughs best cocktails and Dj going made my night 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

Courses were served too quickly, both myself and my partner felt very rushed. Ordered for starters crispy prawns and popcorn chicken, both dishes were very bland. Main course I ordered sword fish which was extremely dry and tasteless. Sadly I will not be choosing to eat in this establishment again. Nice atmosphere though

We held a celebration of life here today ( 21/5/24) in memory of my mum. The staff were really lovely, and professional. Food was gorgeous and served beautifully on long wooden planks. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Would totally recommend Inside No 4.

Nice place . But the young lady behind the bar seemed cold towards me and my partner. As it was just us that evening to serve, she practically engnord me re my order, And was going to say to her , have you got a problem with us. But I kept my mouth shut. Spoilt my date night.

First time here , sat for 15 mins waiting for before having to go over to the bar and ask to order drinks food came out we had roast dinner very average hard potato’s no customer service at all had to go the bar twice again to order drinks disappointed as highly recommended

Absolute gem of a place on our doorstep. Faultless from the service to the food. So organised and a lovely warm relaxing setting. Held a small family gathering following my mum's funeral and no exception was spared. Excellent attention and nothing was a bother for them. Couldn't have asked for a better day. Everyone scraped their plates. Compliments to the chef! Thanks so much to the team for making the day easier to deal with. Will absolutely be back

Been here today with family, the staff were really quite hostile and unhelpful, we didn't feel welcome, we were made to feel like a nuisance, the food was nice, but cold

Love it here. Food is reasonably priced, nice coffee and drinks. Staff pleasant. can't wait to go back

Really enjoyed my Sunday lunch. Well cooked, tasty and served with a good variety of vegetables. Good value. We added on some lovely desserts too. All enjoyed the good selection of wines.

Stop in for a Spads lager now and again, best tasting Bavarian beer I've ever tasted, and I lived in Munich before. Staff are very pleasant and welcoming, like home from home.

The food is so lovely in here I highly recommend. The staff are really helpful and polite.

This place is incredible. The food was presented perfectly and provided a taste sensation on the pallet. I went for Pork Belly main and my wife had Fish and Chips, we both opted for the Korean popcorn chicken as a starter. The staff are very welcoming and attentive throughout which offered a pleasant experience. We will definitely be back to our new favourite restaurant.

A really nice hidden gem, the food was good and the staff were really friendly.

Gorgeous lunch with my friend and mum this lunch time. Definitely will be back.

First time at this venue. Well looked after , staff very attentive. Food was nicely cooked and presented . I would definitely be back.

Best food and atmosphere on Crosby

Great food excellent friendly service lovely atmosphere can’t wait to come back a total gem

What a fab place! First time here and I couldn't recommend it enough. Our waitress was so attentive and made sure we were happy. Food was great. Good value for money. Thank you so much for a lovely experience. Will definitely be back.

The staff are really good, friendly and helpful. Can’t comment on the management as only saw them once when the needed to sort our order out which they had got wrong. The starter, prawn cocktail, was swimming in sauce and lacking in prawns. The spring rolls were just that, 2 spring rolls on a plate, nil for presentation. The turkey roast, the 2 slices of turkey were fine, however the potatoes and veg were hard and under cooked, didn’t dare try to spear a sprout in case it shot off somewhere. The gravy was tasty which helped the spuds go down. Baileys cheese cake distinctly average and the Christmas pud was a disc?? Overall not an enjoyable meal. Wouldn’t tempt me to go back again. Sorry.

A great local restaurant and bar,really tasty food and excellent service.Lovely decor inside with black and white portraits on the walls of Liverpool celebrities.Both food and drinks are reasonably priced and happily,it’s open on a Monday!

Great IPA Tasty brunch and friendly service Gluten free rosti benedict and No4 Full English are highly recommended and looking forward to going back

Lovely restaurant in Crosby, with a homy environment and plenty of space. The menu offers a variety of two course combinations, including vegan fare. The attention was spotless as well.

Went in with the dads and our baby's there was 7 of us plus 7 prams we didn't book they absolutely made sure we were welcome, some ordered drinks, I went for the veggie breakfast it was nice, few things that were not quite right for me 1) toast cut into triangle & only one piece 2 butter was hard & sauce was small sachets I personally couldn't open so did without & 3) no beans and I do love a baked bean on my breakfast, but these are minor details still had a nice time and will definitely be back

Wonderful staff 👏 amazing food 😍

Great restaurant, staff were friendly and attentive, atmosphere was just right. Four of us all had different mains and we were all equally impressed. Decent portion sizes and so tasty. Will definitely be back!

Brilliant spot for an evening meal. Staff were friendly and attentive, happy to answer any questions we had about the dishes. The starters and mains we had were absolutely delicious and we thought very reasonably priced for the portion size we had. I would not hesitate to return and will definitely be recommending!

Stopped here for a meal by chance, had not heard of it but drove past so decided to stop. Food was lovely would recommend anyone to try, lots of flavour and a good choice.

Food was pretty nice. Not bad, but nothing I'd write home about. The kind of thing you could do at home. Lovely looking place, pleasant atmosphere. I'd go again, as it's local. But it wouldn't be my top spot.

The very best pork dish I have ever eaten.

Had a lovely Sunday Roast here today.Due to a mixup and place very busy we had a long wait.But they gave us a round of free drinks and knocked 50 % off the food bill.Which was very generous of them and not asked for.Needless to say we paid the reduced bill and gave a tip. Becuase of the gesture though I wooud like to thank all the staff because these things happen especially at busy times.and we would eat there again as food very good.

The lamb shoulder pie was exquisite. So glad waiter convince me to order it. Schnitzel was great too, never seen one presented so well, being a usual fast food on german motorways for me. Nice ,chill atmosphere and dogs are allowed too, which is a bonus for us

Thanks for a great evening. Wonderful attentive staff, great atmosphere and delicious food. We highly recommend Inside No 4.

Great place for a few beers in the sun (or rain or any weather really!). Lovely food with options for vegetarians. Staff are always happy and welcoming.

The main dish was dry but the starters were great and beautiful dishes. We were sat in an area with lots of lighting which got in our eyes alot - recommended to sit inside when the sun is high, otherwise very pretty place

We booked the venue for an afternoon party. Everything was great from start to finish. Well organized, great food and amazing service. Thank you Inside No 4

Extremely dry burger, on dry bun with no sauce or cheese or even salad and a lack of salad or any side vegetables with other food. Extremely long wait times between courses. Parts of the pork belly were in inedible, as was simply too hard to bite through. Cheesecake was okay, the best tasting item ordered was a children's fish and chips.

Came here today for a Sunday roast with my nan who is in a wheelchair and before I could even get to the door there was a lovely lad there holding it open asking he we needed help with the chair. Let us pick a table where my Nan felt comfortable so we were already so pleased and on top of that the food was delicious! My nan had a Beef Roast and I had a vegetarian roast and as someone who has been veggie for over 7 years, this is the BEST veggie roast I’ve ever had. The little fritter (not even sure what’s in it but tasted like sweet potato and onion) was amazing. Nothing like the usual, dry nut roast most places offer. Staff were just amazing, so friendly and helpful. Overall we can’t wait to come back and feel that this is just another place that does Crosby proud. 10/10💙

Delicious Sunday roast with the most incredibly tasty gravy ! We arrived around 5pm on Sunday and managed to get a table for me and mum, I ordered the Sunday roast with chicken and beef, mum got the chicken and roast pork, really big portions and a huge sharing trio of vegetables, I have to say the gravy was so tasty, I had to ask the staff how it was made as it was delicious 😋, the best I've had. Roast potatoes are done just like at home, you can tell all the ingredients are top quality, service was impeccable too. Happy ending to our Sunday, thanks and we will be back

What a lovely time we had. Food was excellent and the staff so friendly. Sitting outside in the sun with a fantastic cocktail it was just like being on holiday.

I’d give it more than 5 stars if i could! We have been before and went again which speaks volumes. Cant recommend this treasure of a place enough. The food is just bob on full of flavour, hot, fresh and served with a smile and staff always on hand to cater to our every need. We can have any drink we desire made exactly the way we want. Just perfect!!!

After hearing one or two really positive reviews of the restauant, we decided to give a family sinday lunch a try. The inside of the restaurant is lovely and the atmosphere is lovely too. However, the quality of the food and the service was highly underwhelming to say the least. The waiting staff, mainly younger ladies, are spoken too quite rudely by the management but still come out lovely and polite and smiling. The restaurant is nortchild friendly and our meals, drinks and coffees all came out at different times. Most of the family had finished eating before some of our meals had arrived, the roast consited of chicken, pork and beef (a choice or you can have all three.) The veg comes out separatley to share. We didn't enjoy the food or the service and ended up paying an astronomical amount of money for what was no better than average pub food. I'm not sure if this was an average day for the restaurant or out of character but I will not be returning to find out.

Staff pleasant and friendly. Food was mediocre. Starter Prawn cocktail lettuce limp and soggy. Seabass main was very poor, kale deep fried I think, was tough and inedible, roast potatoes were hard and over cook. Only 1 sea bass fillet on each main course, which in my opinion should have been 2. Inside 4 has a nice layout for the table, excellent outside sitting area, very clean and tidy appearance. Like so many restaurant in merseyside over priced and over underrated.

Excellent from start to finish. Staff are friendly and professional. The atmosphere was a perfect blend of both formal dining inside, to a more relaxed and chilled experience outside. The food is creative and appetizing with something for everyone, the cocktails are a must. The sweet menu does need to be slightly expanded apart from that, a most enjoyable experience.

Booked for my daughter’s baby shower , Lesley is absolutely amazing, food fab service on the day was amazing staff all amazing thank you all xxx

Been here a couple of times and never been disappointed, food is wonderful, drinks are good, staff are friendly.

Attended a hen party. recently. Venue nice, staff attentitive, drink order very slow. Food overpriced. £17 tray of food, allowed guests to have 2 small triangle sandwiches each, 2 cakes and scones ( which were inedible and rock hard). Will not be returning.

Geweldige sevice en heerlijk eten

Attended a hen party. Venue lovely and staff attentative. However, the afternoon tea was awful, a total rip off at £17 per head. 3 tiny sandwiches, 2 cakes,scones inedible. Such a shame, but won't be going back again .

Went for a family birthday. Took a cake for my grandchildren to blow the candles out for their mum was told when I handed it over we couldn't eat it? Spent £300.00 on food and drink would have ordered desserts if they hadn't said that won't go again

Good food and service I would eat here again

Attended a baby shower. Staff were amazing, friendly, happy and courteous. Food was hot and tasty. Only thing that would have made it a tad better was if there were more than 1 ladies room and the toilet lid stayed up. Amazing place will go again.

Absolutely fabulous place ...very chilled food was scrumptious!! They have pizza oven in back ! Really friendly nice place go and try you will be back !

The staff were so friendly. The food however was unfortunately awful. I ordered 2 dishes, didn't finish either, the 2nd I had 2 spoonfuls and that was enough, and same goes for my cocktail. Didn't bother disputing the bill, because I just wanted to leave.

Management not the nicest. Need to decide if chilrdren are welcome or not yes they have a childre s menu but did not accomodate them being there at all. Felt sorry for the staff as constamtly being shouted at by one man in particular.

Nice place. Food good. Great service and friendly atmosphere

Great place to meet up with friends in a busy, lively and interesting restaurant, reservations are recommended but walk in’s can be accommodated, a variety of experiences available from main room to outside eating. The menu is varied and caters for most palettes and the food delivers great taste and style, too much choice for just one visit, definitely coming back. Whilst the ambience and food are very good it was the exceptional service from Hanna that made our visit memorable, big smile and ensured everything was to our satisfaction.

Staff were lovely, well overworked, being barked at by management. Food overpriced, some overcooked, very small portions. Beers expensive, local like water. Cocktails nice. Toilets and tables not cleaned, managers hanging around doing nothing when not shouting at the staff.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. Delicious food, well priced and the staff are lovely especially Kaitlyn, she went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, wonderful service. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in Crosby.

Korean chicken hot n spicy and full of flavour. Basked in summer evening sunshine in the outdoor seating area with our dog sniffing the aromatic cooking from the kitchen. Lovely meal, lovely staff and lovely restaurant, highly recommended.

The food was outstanding, possibly one of the best meals I've had in recent years. Given the standard I think it was also very reasonably priced.

Spent a lovely day here for a baby shower Lovely glasses the drinks were served in Food was nice

We had an amazing lunch here for Father’s Day. Although it was busy the staff were more than attentive. The food arrived in good time, piping hot and flavoursome. Would recommend this place to anyone, also the outside space and live dj made the day. Thankyou to the team at inside no. 4 we will be returning

Lovely venue in Crosby. We had lunch and a catch up. Food was excellent and there is a great atmosphere.

This is a really lovely place. The decor is beautiful, the staff are friendly, and the outdoor area is great when the weather is nice so it’s a real shame that the food is so average and disappointing. It’s presented well, but that’s about it....

Quirky but fun. Nice food, music, and interesting outdoor space.

Great place to sit, chat, while away your worries and have a drink, maybe some food. Lovely sunny yard out the back. Just wonderful.

Great place, great vibe and delicious food!

Visited early friday afternoon. Sun was shining so we sat outside. Staff were friendly and attentive without hovering or pestering. Lovely atmosphere and will be returning.

Beautiful layout. Great food, good staff, and a great atmosphere.

Great restaurant! Food lovely..staff friendly and very helpful..gets very busy..book in advance

Walked inside and as we waited for my partner to park, was told by an older lady “come in whilst he is effing around” right in front of my child. Staff unfriendly apart from one lovely young dark haired girl. Food was mediocre and small...

Waited 45 min in a almost empty restaurant to have to go ask to put are food orders in the waited 30 mins for it to arrive, kids were not happy . Food wasn't great humus stater was unpleasant and burger bun was very dry and just fell apart so couldn't pick it up

The meal was average, maybe ever so slightly better than what you would expect from a wetherspoons. At first the drinks came and they were great, I got recommended a pale ale which was fantastic. My partner and her mother enjoyed the margaritas. I still think £9 per margarita is extortionate but this isn't the restaurants fault as it appears to be the same price everywhere. We looked at the menu we all noticed that the choices were quite limiting. Maybe 6 items on the starters and 6 on the main not including the steaks and burgers. I was expecting due to the limited menu that the food would be amazing to compensate since there is less to deal with. We ordered 3 starters to share and a main course each. The starters were very average except for the hummus which to their credit was fantastic. The fish cake starter was tiny and did not taste fresh at all. The Korean chicken was ok but tasted no better than something I would get from KFC. All the other starters were very bread based and did not catch our interest. Moving on to the main course then, and another round of margaritas - I kept it simple and ordered a beef burger, considering they had selected cuts from the cow on the menu and that it was split from everything else I expected something relatively decent. Unfortunately, the chips were obviously frozen chunky chips which I guess is a staple in most places, I was just expecting more. The lettuce in the burger appeared rather old or it was left sitting on the side for a while before it was served, the meat was overcooked and charred substantially and it was not juicy at all. However the bacon and cheese in it were great. My partner had the fish and chips, in all fairness it looked great other than the frozen chips, but she was not a fan. I didn't taste it so cannot confirm, however I did try the tartar sauce and I did really like it, made with real capers and none of the store bought stuff. I came in with the expectation of having dessert as well but after the food I felt it would also be in the same boat of being average so ended up not getting any. Overall the food was very average and in the end we payed £100 with a tip. I feel a little let down, the other reviews looked amazing and some of the pictures I saw looked fantastic. Even the restaurant it self looks great, fantastic furniture and nice setting (other than the tacky fake flowers, but some people like them I guess). I hope it was just an off day as I feel like this place has great potential, although I would not come back I hope they improve for the next people that go eat there. Tldr: nice setting, great staff, great furniture, food very average at best.

I booked the restaurant to celebrate my wedding with family and friends. The place is beautiful! The manager of the restaurant was extremely supportive and helped to make this special day perfect. The service was excellent and the food amazing. They have great vegan and...
