Rockwood is the best restaurant in New Brighton. The hostess, Pauline, is incredible. She is so kind, attentive and welcoming. She genuinely wants you to enjoy the whole experience. There’s no one better than Pauline. The Chef, Christopher John is an artist. His food is well thought through, great flavour combinations and delicious in every way. We love going to Rockwood. Thank you!

A fascinating eaterie, beautifully decorated and maintained. We received a warm welcome from Pauline and great service all evening. The food was terrific, the prices reasonable. The play list was wonderful, too, very laid back. This place is special, Pauling, keep on doing what you're doing!

First time coming here with my partner who has been several times before and raves about the place so was looking forward to trying it out. Walking along the side of the building towards the back entrance I wasn't sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised by a beautiful back yard with lovely water feature and lights. Inside the walls are dark painted with ornate mirrors and a huge chandelier giving the space an intimate and opulent feel while still being relaxed. We were given plenty of time to sit and peruse the menu which had so many delicious sounding dishes we ended up having to toss a coin to decide! Our meals arrived quickly and were well presented. I recommend either of the seafood mains which come with the same delicious sauce. Overall the food is lovely and I certainly would eat there again. Pauline and her team do an excellent job, trying for more upmarket in a not very upmarket area which probably not a lot of people understand judging by other reviews!

Hi Guys (owners of Rockwood), I’m a local who has yet to dine at Rockwood, which is why I have taken the middle ground and given a 3/5. My posting here is because I will shortly be looking to dine with you, and would very much like access to your menu and opening hours. So far, my internet searches have revealed your site but neither menu or opening hours (probably my limited IT skills!). Can you help me? Can you

Both my partner and I went to a 60th birthday celebration at Rockwood Bistro. From the moment we entered to the time we left we were made to feel extremely welcome by all the fantastic and hospitable people at Rockwood. You were made to feel very special. The added detail from the decor, ambiance through to the lighting was beautiful and extremely classy. The food was in a league of its own, well above the standard of an average bistro. My partner and I have been to a few very high class restaurents over the years and the food here is most definately up there with some of the best. Can't praise Rockwood highly enough.

The experience commences from the Asiatic entrance to the bistro. It's a precious high end but relaxing experience that's is strongly underpinned by the couple who proudly serve such a sublime and exquisite ambience not only with their quality ingredients but in a meticulously thought through interior setting too with an authentic sense of wanting you to feel at home to savour the entire experience. We genuinely feel privileged to have learnt of the Bistro more by accident. A popcorn of tastes, crayfish and mussels bloody amazing. I am sure people of Wallasey don't know how fantastic this discreet bistro is. Don't tell anyone shhh

Our first time to this restaurant, booked by our friend. 6 of us, a fussy eater and a vegetarian in the party. We did give prior warning. Such a well designed place. The decor is so good. I believe it is a family concern with the Chef, his partner and daughter waiting on. Service is perfect. The meal itself was a different level. Everyone was bowled over with the quality of the ingredients and the preparation. It's a small place and we were wary of over staying our welcome when everyone else had already left but the staff were just brill and almost insisted we stat and have anither drink. Prices are at the higher end but totally justified and worth every penny. Just planning the next occasion to go back and enjoy this fabulous place.

From the 'secret' entrance to the skillful food; Rockwood sets a new standard for the North West gourmet seeker. Intense but still fresh flavours are rarely achieved but run through the menu. Our seafood choices were the best we have had in a long while. The most perfectly cooked lamb was enjoyed by a fellow dîner. Well done guys!

Having encountered Rockwood thought-out the pandemic I have no reservations in recommending this establishment. Everything from the moment we were met by the welcoming Pauline at front of house to informative conversations about our food, has been of a very very high standard. 5 Starts in our terms. The food has always been on point and of an exquisite delightful level (some food has not just melted in my mouth but melted my heart in admiration) Chef as I respectfully call him was always in control and if requested, always on hand to answer any of my inquisitive questions of how the food was prepared and what was entailed in his mindset to create such dishes. Pauline, was always available to serve and help in a manor that was comforting and reassuring. She gave us the glow of being "HOME" and nothing was too much and the impression of "mi casa es tu casa" If we were to ask about future developments or new menus Pauline without hesitation had the answer immediately. What more can one ask Well we have asked and we are to be answered, Rockwood is developing and growing in its reputation and My wife and I await in anticipation to the warm homely welcome to the new approach and construction within the Bistro building itself. I have to say that am totally baffled by a recent review and can only surmise that someone is rather jealous of Rockwood ongoing success and development. My wife and I will take that review with a pinch of seasoning salt as we encourage all must. Chef & Pauline, we are so looking forward to when we return, keep up the fantastic standards, Service and supply of amazing dishes. SEE YOU SOON

The venue exudes Quality as does the cuisine. It’s more a sanctuary than a restaurant. The rear entry maintains a calm within the restaurant, perpetuated by Pauline and Christopher’s calm personas, punctuated by the incense of Lemon Grass wafting from Cambodia. This is fine dining, fine food indeed and at a competitive price point.Make it your destination, it will not disappoint.The subtle pan Asian fusion dishes are sublime as was the Lemon Sole

Eating here is more than the delicious food...it is an experience. Decor..eclectic..ambiance...intimate and personal. Food is the nearest to fine dining you will get outside of a major city...but the portions and presentation are above and beyond expectations. Chef has created a menu of his own imagination and not just the obvious tried and tested combinations. As well as the food and decor you have the full attention of the charming Pauline...who offers you the personal touch. When you leave you feel you have made a new friend.For anybody who is fed up up with franchises and chains...give this a go...you will not be disappointed.

From the very beginning, we were treated with the upmost care and wonderful hospitality from our host Pauline. A family owned bistro, the attention detail from an interior design point of view, is nothing short of spectacular. A contemporary, art nouveau vibe made our visit such a treat for the eyes; the mood and music complemented each other married so well. Overall, an unpretentious and welcoming atmosphere. There to celebrate our anniversary, we knew we would be in for a treat with the menu due to previous reviews read; however, we were not prepared for exactly how blown away we were going to be! To start, we shared the pork scratching appetiser, which had the perfect texture and slight crunch, accompanied with a superb homemade siracha sauce. We then enjoyed mussels done two different ways as our starters, both the best mussels we’ve ever had. We decided to ‘splash out’ and treat ourselves for the main and both ordered the Surf & Turf. The fillet steaks were cooked to perfection, the knife glided through them like butter. The AMOUNT of food we received, despite it being (in our opinions) fine dining, was supreme in quality and brilliant value for money. Since it was our anniversary, Pauline kindly arranged a beautiful celebration plate, which made our experience so personal and shows how much love Pauline and chef Christopher put into their beautiful restaurant. Without doubt, the best dining experience we’ve ever had, the level of consistency, professionalism, care and quality – is priceless. And even in saying this, don’t think it’s overpriced and expensive – it's worth every penny. We will certainly be coming back again. A huge thank you to Pauline and Chris who made our night so special.

We ordered the Asian Rockwood@home for 2 people at £35. Pickup at the restaurant was easy and friendly, and the food did not disappoint. The 3 course meal was well proportioned and great value for money. For starters there was a selection of asian inspired picky bits with various dips, main was beautiful pork, noodles and crispy chicken in a sweet and sour sauce. The flavours were incredible and you can tell the food is high quality. We can't wait to try the full a la carte menu in the restaurant.

Pauline and Christopher went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our meal - the shepherd’s pie has since been recommended to family and friends far and wide Thanks again.

First visit to Rockwood and it won't be my last. Outstanding service especially the young man who has only recently started working here. The food was also outstanding, very tasty, cooked to perfection and plentiful. Couldn't fault anything about it. Thanks for a great evening.

Just had the most appalling experience at this restaurant.arrived at 8.30 pm on time , the restaurant was busy due to valentines night I assume ,a warm welcome and showed to our table. Menu arrived and ordered a bottle of Sauvignon blanc south African wine, young waiter looked and looked and came back with Chilean , I asked is it the same price ,to which he did not know but eventually I was told it was, anyhow my wife and I drank and chatted waiting for our food order to be taken after an hour I caught the chef prompting the waiter to take our order, I think they ignored us on chefs orders as it was fullWe ordered starters and mains of home baked bread, Menai mussels,champagne & caviar assiette and a surf and turfMy wife’s was delicious , my mussels were extremely gritty and at least 6 unopened,they where piled high in a small bowl so unless you took them all out you could not get to the lovely sauce at the bottom of the bowl to dip your bread inMy wife’s main came and she enjoyed itI ask for my fillet steak to be medium rare,Before starting our mains ,we where asked if everything was ok ,which it was at the time, however on cutting open my steak, it was over cooked and no way medium rare On advising it was over cooked, this is where the trouble started! The chef said no way it is over cooked and apparently we where asked is everything ok and we said it was , apparently you have a 2 minute window to complain from when your food arrives, so don’t keep chatting to your partner, just dig in as the clock is ticking! I sent my meal back and informed them I am not paying for it to which I was told in no uncertain terms I was ! I had said everything was ok in that 2 minute window, I paid in full and left extremely unhappy Never again will I use this restaurant, and I will inform as many colleagues , family and friends never to use itThe chef needs a huge lesson in customer relationshipsAnd by the way, what ever response, if any I get from this review from management, I will not care a jot!

We finally managed to get to Rockwood last week and will most certainly return soon. This chef could easily win Masterchef the Professionals as his food is that good and the way it is presented is magical. It is a bit strange to go in through the back via a charming bar, but this means the front door never gets opened giving a cold blast to diners - great idea. The wonderful warm welcome from the maitre de, who is the chefs partner leaves you feeling you have been a family friend for years. The food is imaginative, excellently prepared and served in fine dining style. The restaurant is well laid out with many many interesting artefacts and features. I am looking forward to the upstairs developement. If you enjoy top food at a reasonable price in fantastic surroundings and great friendly service get down to Rockwood.

Unique venue, relaxed atmosphere. Staff are very focused on customers' individual needs. First visit for us, breakfast ten people, all individual wants covered in full. The food was excellent, as was the service, all provided at a very competitive

Went to Cafe Kava yesterday for a coffee and snack I had the toasted tea cake with jam and butter. It was huge. The cafe is spotlessly clean and the service was quick. It is opposite Matalan and you could walk past it as there is not a lot of display to show it is there. It is a meeting place for locals and staff. Would I go again yes. Park in Matalan and walk across. Good range of teas and coffe.
