me and my sister took my Mum out for a nice meal for her birthday, and she'd always wanted to go to visit Oliver's with my Dad, whom is no longer with us, so for her birthday we wanted to treat her. Well, never again........ after we were seated, we were offered drinks and they came, everything was fine, until then the staff all disappeared from the floor (I say all - they had 4 members of staff including the one behind the bar, with 2 large birthday parties going on) we finally found a waitress to take our order, she did, minus asking how I would like my steak cooked. we then waited an hour before chasing where our food was, to be told it was the next out the kitchen - to then be informed, it wasn't even put into the kitchen, as the waitress was new - so it was being cooked then ... no apology, nothing.... no offer of another FOC drink while we waited.... Whilst we were waiting for our food, the entertainment started, which even for me was very loud, I could not hear my sister next to me, never mind my elderly mother across the table. when the food did arrive, the taste was amazing and I cannot fault them for that, but the service sadly let it down, we were being looked at, as if it was our fault we had to chase our food, we had no apology, no offer of anything to make up for their mistake and left the establishment extremely angry. I appreciate one, the waitress could of been new to the role, but if so she could of said or at least should of been supported by a senior staff member. The senior member of staff was extremely rude and confrontational from the minute we chased how long are food would be. I would not recommend to any one.

Love this place Staff are friendly Entertainment was great a lady with pink hair, she is outstanding. The only downside to this place I want to eat everything and drink everything and I never want to go home.... and the next day I crave the brushetta they are to die for.

Yet another brilliant meal. The staff are lovely nothing is too much trouble for them. Last night we went to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The food was perfect as too the service. There was a new waitress who kindly assisted me to use Apple Pay thank you so much 😊 If you haven’t been you need to try it you won’t be disappointed. We will definitely be attending a theme night in the near future. Thank you for a lovely evening x

After a poor experience a couple of years ago, we thought we would return and see if the place had improved, big mistake. Extremely poor service, waited 40 minutes for waitress to take our food and drink order, who's excuse for not coming over sooner was that she hadn't sat us down. For a restaurant that size there was clearly not enough staff to cope with a busy Saturday night. Best part of the meal was our starters. Our main was overpriced breaded chicken with a cheese sauce which overpowered the taste of the chicken. We asked for our bill, glad we checked it as we had been charged for a bottle of wine and two pints of beer that we had not had. Another excuse from the waitress when we asked for them to be removed. We won't be visiting for a third time!

Don’t go there for Sunday lunch. Three friends went together. Service was slow, lamb and pork were tough, Yorkshire puddings pathetic, roast potatoes not roasted but soggy and very salty. Tiramisu had stale taste. All in all not to be repeated.

Olivers delivered again, we go every few weeks with my 89-year old mum and she loves the place. The staff remember her each time and what she likes which is nice. Wine was really good, I had carpaccio which is new on the menu, very nice, my mum had the French onion soup which she loved, and my wife had the smoked salmon cheesecake which she says was lovely. Mains - roast lamb was great, and chicken with Parmesan was a winner. Not the place to go for cheap and nasty wine, or "two steaks for a tenner" but it is different and has better choice and better food than just going out for pub food. We are lucky to have the place here in Penketh/Great Sankey

Very disappointed with the food. Only rated it 3 because the staff were nice. The place itself is beautiful but the quality of food let it down. As a party of 13 celebrating a special birthday you would have hoped the meal went perfectly but sadly it didn’t. We did complain but it wasn’t taken very seriously. For a Sunday afternoon you would have expected the restaurant full, it wasn’t but maybe it’s for the same reason as my experience. A justified complaint shouldn’t just be brushed off. My advice would be for the management to listen to constructive feedback.

Thought we would have a very nice, quality Sunday Roast. What a terrible mistake - this was a particularly half-hearted attempt. We should have realised from initial perusal of the menu, there was not a carvery and not a 'roast of the day' and rather an offering of 4 meats and a veggie option, but were in hope that they would pull together a solid roast! Assembling on a plate an apparently pre-cooked/bought in but cold single Yorkshire Pudding, some rather dubious looking pre-packed/formed meat, cold cabbage, a thumb of carrot, roasted squares of very oily potato (with rosemary and garlic it seemed) and very sweet gravy (one size fits all possibly to cover the main roast options), does not make a Sunday Roast. It was awful, truly awful. Complained about the cold food, waited 20 - 25 minutes for replacements and still came out again with cold Yorkies! Waiter/manager was rude and was dismissive of our complaints (something to do with heat lamps, other nonsense and excuses (I stopped listening) and has never happened before, says it all - doesn't care one iota), the rest of the staff were inattentive and didn't really care either. It seemed we were being punished for having the disrespect to complain. Slow, poor food, poor quality, poor service and rude. Phew, nearly forgot, it was over-priced as well !

What an utter disappointment this family lunch turned out to be. We should have realised when we arrived what culinary delights awaited us when only two tables were occupied in this large canteen style restaurant. The food that we had could only be likened to poor hospital fair. A total waste of money and I would leave no stars if possible.

Would not recommend this place there was no atmosphere The starter of mushroom bruschetta was no description I ordered the chicken stroganoff which came with one large carrot in the middle of the chicken and rice .took one taste of the rice which you could tell had been well overheated there not edible . I got the replacement of fish and chips which again no flavour to the fish what so ever Very disappointed

This place has a lot of potential but the food just isn’t good enough. We all had a Sunday roast. The meat was really poor quality and seems processed. The whole meal but particularly the roast potatoes was doused in salt. Service wasn’t great. The waiter wasn’t happy when I complained about my food. I felt like he was challenging my opinion instead of accepting it. I’ve eaten at this place dozens of times since it opened but the last few times have been horrendous. If you like service with a smile, fresh, high quality food and a good atmosphere, this isn’t the place for you! I will be avoiding from now on.

The food and drink are very expensive. Especially considering it is so bland. The Italian waiter was very rude and abrupt and snapped at me when I queried the time taken between starters and mains (1 hr 20 mins). To top it all off my wife and I were both sick that night (pasta). We paid over £200 for a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children). Over priced, bland food, rude and aggressive waiter, very long waits and odd decor. Feels a bit like a canteen with an odd atmosphere. We definitely will not be going back here. It’s just not worth it sadly.

Not very many vegan options and they had a really loud sing on so we couldn’t really talk to each other. I know it was a Saturday night but it was early. We got there at 7:30 and we asked three times for it to be turned down just so that we could hear each other talk. Food was nice. Place was nice but wouldn’t visit again because of this.

The roast dinner was delicious, perfectly cooked and well presented with a good amount of food on the plate.

I visited her with my husband and parents, being vegan it can sometimes feel really awkward having no choices when you’re out with meat eaters but the food did not disappoint. My husband had the pork ribs and the portion was really big, I got the falafel and my mum got the mushrooms. The portions for those were small but super tasty! My dad got the garlic bread which looked nice too. The mains were generous and my family said the steak was lovely desserts were nice too. It wasn’t overpriced and the singer that came on at the of our meal was good. Lovely atmosphere, really help staff and tasty food!!!

We have been coming to Olivers for a few years now. The waitresses/waiter are always polite and welcoming. We have never had a bad steak it is always perfectly cooked and as we have asked for it, i.e. medium etc. On our latest visit I was surprised to see they have reduced the size of the fruit crumble! Now served in a small ramekin and an even smaller jug of custard. I have always enjoyed this but I think this will be the last time I order that dish. Such a shame, I understand hospitality has taken a hit in recent times but really does it save that much? Regardless we will return and continue to support this restaurant.

We have never walked out of a restaurant before, but we did here!We just called in for lunch and wished we hadn't bothered. The place was busy, but there were a few in and the atmosphere was ok.Once we were at our table, the waiter (David, who I have to say was great) brought the menu over. My wife is allergic to eggs and I am gluten free, so we check everything as a matter of course and tell the waiter.The starter of Pork Bites were ok, but the problems really started with the main courses. I wanted to the order the burger, which was advertised as gluten free on the menu, my wife ordered the vegan bean burger. The waiter returned, telling me that the kitchen staff couldn't actually agree on whether the beef burger was actually gluten free or not, despite the menu saying it was and they had run out of gf bread buns anyway. So, I opted for the gf fish and chips instead.The food arrived, my wife looked at the bun the vegan burger arrived in....it was a Brioche bun. The waiter came back, was very apologetic, said he had explained our food requirements to the kitchen staff and said he would have the meal prepared correctly. I said he could take my meal back as well, otherwise we wouldn't be eating together. . He told us the chefs were arguing about whether my wife was vegan or allergic to eggs, the waiter told them it didn't matter, the menu said vegan and it wasn't.. The waiter had asked for the manager to speak to us and he did. However, he was not apologetic and tried to excuse what had happenedA while later, he brought back 2 fresh meals, apparently all as originally ordered. However, the vegan burger was cold. The waiter couldn't have been more apologetic, but that was the final straw and we left.Honestly, if this was a script, no-one would believe it. It was so bad it was laughable. We will not be eating there again.I dread to think what could have happened if we suffered from anaphylaxis reactions.

Much prefer the wine bar to the restaurant. Both are very expensive but the wine bar is pretty nice to sit in to be fair! The restaurant is very over priced for what it is, the food is just average. I recommend if you go, just go and have a few drinks as it’s a pretty move atmosphere and the staff are good. But can’t give it above average because of the restaurant!

On arrival a nice atmosphere in pleasant surroundings with friendly staff, it was early so orders were taken quickly, the starters were served and mostly enjoyed except for the prawns which were said to be bland and tasteless, the mains followed again quite quickly again most meals were enjoyed except for one a curry which was not warm and again tasteless , the restaurant had now filled and the waiter and waitress were run of their feet .we sat looking at empty plates for over thirty minute's, finally having to ask for them to be removed, the deserts were ordered and again a long delay in arrival, on the whole not a bad experience but definitely overpriced in my opinion I don't think we will go back considering what is on offer elsewhere.

Family celebration on a Saturday evening.Plus points - friendly staff, nice atmosphere and surroundings and great drinks. Desserts good! Chips delicious.Now for the bad bit.... I had the prawns to start, the sauce was lovely, just not enough of it making it a bit bland. The chicken balti was cold (Chicken cold and sauce lukewarm).... and the naan was burnt and not edible, you would expect perfection at these prices. I should’ve complained but everyone was enjoying theirs so didn’t want to make a fuss. I personally think I may have been unlucky but it’s incredibly overpriced and there are better places to eat locally, which are better value.Feeling disappointed, hungry and short changed.

It’s a lovely restaurant but if you really know how dishes should be properly cooked, then you’ll realise the food here on several dishes fall short.My third visit and on the basis of give them a boost and benefit of the doubt’ following two previous mediocre meals the dishes failed again.Firstly the menu is weird, it’s short and has some obvious bistro dishes which are missing and it’s disappointing. Prices are high end and poor value.. £21 for a duck course, £22.50 for a steak and £3 for a small sauce... c’mon, your taking the Mickey at those prices.Starter of garlic bread with tomato a thick bruschetta style and I don’t think I tasted garlic! So a bad start, the duck dish was worse... it was cooked so poorly, tough beyond anything that even a steak knife meant considerable pressure and muscles to try to cut it, meat strands all over it.. an utter mess. It went back and was refunded.Thankfully it won’t be a fourth visit except for the lovely bar.It could and should be much better and if I owned this, I’d make changes.

Visited for Sunday lunch, couldn’t knock the price or service received. Value for money, 3 course for around £17 and very filling. Will return in the future!

We rang on the off chance of booking a table and were pleasantly surprised to get one. Lovely atmosphere and the waiting staff were extremely pleasant and polite. Fantastic meal with excellent service. Highly recommend the Monkfish main. We’ll be back very soon!

Out of town dining, the restaurant is smart, the food choices were good and the staff were friendly. Bar next door completes the package.

Lovely food, couldn’t fault it. Waitress attentive. Only negative is no one came to ask if everything was ok with our meals which I think they should always do. Singer average but music needs to be in more in between. Would definitely go again

Went here with the girls on Saturday. Three of us couldn't eat our meals. The Lasagna was awful and the monkfish was rock hard. Complained to to waiting on staff. Received no apology. The manager couldn't careless.To sum it all up we would never go again. Its limited, overpriced menu and the food isn't up to scratch whatsoever. Don't waste your money

Valentines night 2020. Arrived to be ignored by the front of house (Manager) who was having a conversation with a man about the delivery of chocolates and standing within a foot us of. When the other guy said to the manager to deal with us the manager's response was "No they are OK!" Actually no, we weren't, it would have been nice had the Manager said "I will be with you in a minute" or similar! First time here, not a good start! One of the waitresses saw us waiting and came over to deal with us and seated us at our table. Fortunately the waiting staff made up for his attitude, all of them were superb and could not be faulted. The food was OK but nothing to write home about, my husband had duck duo and was warm not hot. I had fillet steak which was really tasty. So Mr Manager, if you bother to read this, that's why we ignored you when we left! Attitude breeds attitude!

Light and airy restaurant, pleasant surroundings, pleasant waiters/waitresses; gluten-free choices available - have them marked on a separate menu card at lunch-times - not eaten here in the evening, but had lunch twice, and enjoyed the meals both times.

So just ate at Oliver’s and have to say bit of a strange one. Not really what I expected. Firstly the menu for a Monday night you would expect to have some kind of offer (two course for 15 say) and the menu itself was confusing and wasn’t sure what kind of place we were in? Pasta, steak, french!? Identity crisis. Side dishes on the menu but no real plates that you would ask for sides? Ordered a garlic ‘bread’ and the smallest portion of cheese/ tomatoes on ciabatta turned up!? Not a good start. Then a very bland bolognese and stupid spicy vegetable penne dish with peas turned up. The waiter was pleasant enough but gotta say 51 quid for a couple of drinks, the tiniest garlic bread and forgettable pasta on a Monday night.... I rest my case. Won’t be rushing back to be fair.

So we come here often, it's our local, and it's a great place, we came for lunch as we prefer it here in the afternoons to the evenings, the staff are great Barbara and Julie, know exactly how to make your experience a good one, service and food great, we also liked the fact that they have moved some low tables into the reasaraunt bar area, I'm not a fan of high stools, so we were able to sit in the window and have a drink before our meal, I'd recommend the pate for starters, and the chicken in mushroom sauce for main, my husband had the fish and chips, also great, lunch menu is very reasonable.

Sunday menu was a bit of a disappointment; been before and was given a different menu which seemed to have more choice. Raved about it to friends and then got a different menu with almost a ‘pub’ feel to it.

I visited yesterday for lunch. Starter 10/10, Sweet 9/10, Main Course 4/10. The 'roast' potatoes were hard and white, the stuffing ball was a hard ball of stuffing that couldn't be cut, obviously had been kept warm a number of days! The plus was the vegetables. My husband attended yesterday too with his mates for an evening meal. Again, exactly the same problems with undercooked and white roasties and very hard stuffing ball, they also confirmed excellent starters and sweets. Suggest the chef does proper roasties in the oven in goose fat etc etc, what a difference it would make!! Staff friendly and attentive, no complaints there :-)

We visited this restaurant as a party of 9 for the first time this weekend for a family meal for my husband's birthday. The choice of food is extensive, and all meals were amazing. The service is what makes this place stand out, it was absolutely exceptional. the staff went above and beyond on numerous occasions to ensure we all had anything we requested. This place is a little hidden gem, definitely worth a visit and we will 100% be returning!

18 is quite simply incredible. The venue is warm and welcoming. The staff are exceptional, friendly, supportive and understanding. So skilled, they’re almost invisible, service is always with a smile and there is nothing that is too much trouble for them. We look forward to going and it feels like we are seeing old friends, each and every time. The food is consistently to a very high standard. They have a wonderful lead chef - Brad, along with his team their dishes never fail to delight the tastebuds. I can’t recommend them strongly enough.
