Sefton Arms in Liverpool

Lively and family-friendly. Great service although staff under pressure. Very reasonable prices. Liked the wine and veggie/vegan options.

Food was average wouldn’t go again

A lovely family meal last weekend. The table had been booked by a family member and was reserved for us on arrival. The lady behind the bar was very polite and both staff members we ordered with (at different stages) ensured we had put our car registration into the tablet for the car parking requirements. Food was delicious and plentiful on all 3 of our different orders and whilst we were warned food may take a while due to party size we believe it arrived fairly quickly. The lady waiting our table was also polite and friendly when I asked about the child’s dessert that was preordered in with the meal. If I could give an extra half star I would, but the loss in (half a) star was for toilet facilities which could have been a little cleaner/better maintained. We would return when back back in the area.

Excellent breakfast. Good value for money.

Visited on 19/10 24 for food and drink with my son, didn't see sign regarding parking in car park or any information inside premises. Received today £100 fine or £60 in 14 days, which my son paid immediately in a panic before I got home from work. Subsequently I have been informed by the staff in the pub there is now nothing that can be done. Be aware people. Disgraceful. Never again, thanks Greene King.

Pretty average. Waited a long time for food. Toilets are rank.

Tom organised some tables for our engagement drinks. Staff and venue superb as always

Engagement drinks. Tom organised tables and had a great night. Thanks to the staff. Had a ball. Ended up staying all night

Went in half term with my 3 grandchildren and they really enjoyed their meals and desserts. Service was quick and really friendly and really patient with the children. Plenty of room too so not sitting on top of the next table. The lady who I think is the manager was chatting to the children and asking them about their meals. Nice time had by all thank you

Had a nice lunch here yesterday. Good food, friendly staff and ample parking. Tom was very helpful to us. We'll be back soon.

Great pub food children love it . Go at once a month . Quiz nights in Thursday are very entertaining Colin is excellent . Manager is very accommodating

What's not to like. Good pub grub at reasonable prices. And drinks also reasonably priced.

Reasonable food prices. Friendly staff.

Lovely bar staff especially Vicki, nothing is to much trouble. Will return

Typical chain pub, food and ale is average but well priced

Great atmosphere, attentive and polite staff, great venue for everyone. Couldn't do enough. Nothing was too much. Would highly recommend!!

Had a lovely breakfast here this morning. Staff really helpful and nice. We will be back x

Food was very bland, no taste at all to it😢 lovely staff though

Staff nice and friendly. Food was lovely would come again served quickly both at the bar and bringing food out

Very nice visit and great service.

Service was amazing, lovely staff and great customer service. Will definitely be back - Elsa xx

Lovely meal and catch up with friends very reasonable. Excellent food . Bar staff very friendly good time had by all. Thank you

Amazing atmosphere and friendly staff! Can always have a joke and the service top notch!! Always love coming here!! Xx Anna

Great service great food would recommend hunters chicken all the way, however wouldn’t recommend the slot machine as didn’t win

Popped into pub to meet associates for an evening drink. First time in the beer garden which is very spacious with lots of seating and tables to wine and dine outside on sunny days. Service was OK. But not enough staff behind the bar so had to wait awhile to be served. The pub was busy and lively. Can't comment on food due to not ordering none. No pictures to show unfortunately.

Had a lovely lunch good value deal for 2 mains I had fish and chips and my friend had gammon both lovely. Fish especially was lovely

Lovely food, fabulous service, very friendly staff, great choice of food on menu, something for 6 different tastes !will recommend and come again...

I really like this pub! nice big garden area outside, comfy seats and plenty of space! The service at the bar could be quicker.

Ordered a sirloin steak , it was full of fat £15 down the drain !!! I was very disappointed, told the staff but there not interested won’t be coming again !!

Lovely pub, always had a really good experience when going here. All the staff are always really nice especially Courtney who will always go above and beyond, an absolute delight to be served by her.

Big mistake coming here. Waited ages for the food to arrive, so long that some of our party had to leave and cancel their meal. When the remainder did finally arrive there was all kinds missed off the meals and one of the cancelled meals also arrived which was wasted. Staff seemed rushed off their feet which explains the wait and the meals not prepared to the description. Either stop serving food when your priority is service at the bar or get more staff instead of relying on the people you have to be overworked. Shambles UPDATE: Responded to the request to email them as stated below. I sent them a message stating what happened during my visit and, 3 days later, am yet to receive any reply. FURTHER UPDATE: An apology was offered and my phone number was requested to "make things up" to me. I replied I was comfortable continuing to correspond by email. Not heard anything since.

Great pub. Great place to watch the football or go for a night out

All day breakfast was out of this world would highly recommend a visit I shall visit again soon when I'm in Liverpool

Had a lovely lunch here. Staff were great, very friendly and helpful. Good atmosphere and food was nice too.

Great food brilliant staff nice 👍

Nice place , lovely pint of gluten free beer, great beer garden

Would not recommend this place. Very anti family. Spent over 20 mins trying to order food at 19:45. Only when I tried to order a kids meal I was told that kids are not allowed after 20:00. No signs or notices saying this. I would suggest look elsewhere

Ordered via the app, food arrived with no cutlery, waited and waited for drinks, approached a member of staff who was quite dismissive and said “ oh you’ll wait ages if you ordered on the app “ my friend then stood at the bar for 15 mins to ask for our drinks… visited this pub lots of times and always been pleased except for this visit! Was very disappointed

Enjoyed it! A mixed crowd of old and young, The PUB GARDEN is a massive sun trap! 🌞 And there is plenty of space to sit in it as well! They have a new menu, good pub grub that'll keep you going, don't expect London style restaurant stuff as you're clueless if you do, but it's a good plate of food that soaks up the beer and I enjoyed my Burger topped fries side! Haven't tried the Sunday Roast yet, but as there is competition for this in the area, I would hope it's good! I'll be back to the Sefton Arms soon!

Lovely service from Tom today, great atmosphere and lovely food.

What a fabulous, friendly pub. Food was outstanding and great value for money!! Fabulous views & setting! We were lucky enough to book a weekend there, so lots to do in and around it, including a fantastic steam railway.

Gorgeous well kept beer garden. Food comes out at a decent rate. I still wish you did even remotely healthier options of food instead of all things deep fried. A salad wouldn't go amiss. 2 on the menu and both unavailable.

Nice enough food good service as well quite busy with young families

Great pub. Nice food and great service from Tom & Ellie. Would definitely recommend

Been drinking here years then went in last week there's a dog sitting on the table drinking out of a bowl disgusting for this to be allowed no respect for people who don't have pets or people eat there it's just wrong so we All left

Food 5x taste 5x presentation 5x staff polite presentable 5x exellent experience

Visited for quiz night, lively and good atmosphere

Most of the staff are great, especially the servers. Food is slightly better than the Standard (also Greene King). The burgers with blue cheese taste like they have blue cheese on, unlike those served up at the Standard. BUT..the ladies loo is the worse loo in the Village. No hand drier (broken)loo paper on the floor, water flooded floor, no lock on the loos, no soap in the dispensers. Basically, it's a disgrace. You're serving food for christsake. Clean the loos. So, my advice is to go to the Standard down the road, or to Amo up the road. Much cleaner experience. Pity, tho, as staff here in the Sefton are more pleasant than at either of those other places. Amo staff can be particularly miserable. Its your choice, I guess.

very nice place and an amazing service

Such a warm and friendly environment perfect for families, havin a quiet drink or goin with a group. The food has always been piping hot always happy to accomodate when needed.

I really enjoy visiting this pub regularly with my friend. We've been regulars here for years. The staff come and go but they are always friendly. It sometimes gets a bit noisy but we're usually ready to leave then anyway. The food is always enjoyabl...you get what you pay for. I did have an issue a while ago however when my daughter and I had the hunters chicken and we both got food poisoning. I was extremely ill for 3 days, my daughter wasn't quite as ill as me. When I recovered I went to the pub to speak to the manager. He was a young cocky lad with plenty of attitude. When I told him what had happened he smirked and gave no comnent. It was clear that he wasn't bothered. More recently my friend and I visited and although there were plenty of posters about the pub saying that vaping is not allowed, there were several people at the table in front of us clearly vaping and none of the staff addressed it which was dissappointing.

We had a family meal here on a Saturday afternoon, 21 of us all together. I haven't had such a nice sirloin steak in a long time, not one bit of fat and cooked perfectly (medium rare) The chips were crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside, perfection 👌 The pub got really busy towards 5pm as people were coming in for evening drinks but still a friendly atmosphere and not much wait at the bar. Didn't manage to take any pictures of the food due to it being a big family meal.

The experience was good because we got served straight away the girl who served us was lovely and polite also service with a smile x

Went there Wednesday about 3 o'clock ok quite time of the day but even so the place is drab no atmosphere over priced paying top price for a second class pub because of were it is it thinks it's the best in the village don't think so 👎👎

I had the vegan katsu curry, it was awful, just inedible. The breaded vegan chicken pieces were horrible, the chips were under cooked and the rice was over cooked; the curry sauce just tasted like regular Chinese curry sauce. My first set of cutlery I was given was dirty, but I had that changed. Nobody asked if the food was okay otherwise I would of just told them then and there it was inedible. We just ended up leaving and won't ever go back or recommend it.

Very loud tv screens all showing different sports all on tooooo loud everybody had to shout to be heard.

Nice meal, reasonable price. Breakdown in communication as we ordered 3 small plates as starters and 2 main courses but they all turned up at once. Make sure yoy state as starter if required 1st

Not bad good be better. Room 2 improve.

They have tribute acts on Mondays from 2pm £14.99 eat and enjoy show

Great athmosphere on a evening. Food is okay. Make sure you input your reg number into the tablet inside, so you don't get fined!

Lovely meal Vegetarian Marinara / rocket / chips delicious sauce. Fish & chips

The barmaids were amazing, everything fantastic. Fruit machine robbed me of a fiver. I told the staff I wont be back to collect that sum so put it in the staff jar. Then the screen said collect, the staff member lunged to switch off. Dissapointed, I would have said press collect and put in staff glass. Ruins a good night everything else was great. Dissapointed when preying on someone you assume is more drunk than is. £5, I tipped and complimented more. I spent about £32, group of 4 £100+. No food, only lager 👍

Very pleasant visit on Christmas day. Staff excellent.

Came here for a late breakfast with friends and family. There was 8 of us and we were all happy with our food. The breakfast wraps went down well. Staff were friendly and service was good. Thankyou

Nice pub would defo go again never had food so can't comment on that.

Great pub good friendly service

I encountered a problem and gave a poor review. In a very short time Tom the General Manager contacted me. He promised to rectify the issue I had raised and did exactly as he promised. The problem could have been avoided, and I guess both parties were culpable. Tom reacted quickly, kept his promise, so I retracted my comments, and will definitely eat and drink at this location again. Thanks Tom.

Was told the food would take half hr got starters with was lovely. Then 1 hr 20 mins later we asked how long it would take it then come mu mixed grill was a show freezing cold .my partners burger freezing really bad to be fair. The staff was nice think they was embarrassed about it didn't touch any the food and they gave us a refund straight away.couldnt really give the service a better score although they were lovey as soon as a party entered all staff concentrated on them I'm 💯 sure our food was left standing as soon as we asked were it was it came out

On arrival, we were told only breakfast till midday??? We were served straight away at the bar and ordered 2 breakfasts and drinks. The food took over an hour to arrive at our table. The food looked okay, but it was so bland, it was cheap. Did not reflect the price....... I asked for a side plate for my bread and was given a tea saucer. I wouldn't eat there again. The toilets were a mess stains all over the walls and bins, lots of stuff on top of the toilet roll holders.

Great night watching the match. Lovely steak too

Average experience. Food was average pub grub but prices are reasonable and draft had an ok selection. Music was a bit too loud which made conversation harder. Would I come again, sadly probably not unless it was convenient like this time.

Disappointed, called to book a table for 10 for a work's charity day lunch which was ok, although was asked twice had I looked online. Turned up 15 mins before booking was due at 12 to be asked if we'd booked. Yes and then we were told by the bar lady "well theres a problem in the kitchen I dont know how long you'll have to wait". I asked did she have a rough idea and she said no. Then I asked how long they'd known for and in the most snotty tone I was asked "why?" I replied because we had a booking and someone should have called us to let us know! She eventually went to the kitchen to check how long it would be and she said about 40 mins but still wasnt 100% sure. We luckily were able to go across to The Book who were happy to see us and food was lovely. Appreciate you cant help having issues, but letting customers know and not being snotty are the basics in customer service. We do monthly charity days in my work and wont be recommending.

Food was really nice service was great would definitely go again.

Busy Fri, tables not cleared and floors untidy....staff lovely. Garden and furniture needs updating... path nightmare for kids with tarmac battered. But still great sun trap

Great menu helpful friendly service Vicky was really helpful and friendly 😄

The function room could do with a refurb. Plaster has come away from the walls by the fire exit door and evidence of damp resulting in the carpet stinking. Management must be aware of the problem as its plain to see. The function room is used on a Tuesday and Thursday for people with learning disabilities and I feel the management should ensure the safety of all at the venue.

Great pub with great food and the staff are lovely. We met up with some friends and had a relaxing afternoon.

Fantastic pub food is nice mushrooms are better than caernavon castle pub

Just so you know caught out by your car park restrictions .Safe to say will not be going to your pub again.would of been helpful had staff mentioned it also. Shame.

Bit hit and miss, this place. The food deals are great but the food itself not consistently good. Big place, easy to get seated, good parking.

Wouldn't ho here again. Received a parking fine. What type of pub charges for parking absolute joke!

Took to long to be served and not a lot of people in

Super balonowo truskawkowo w dzisiejszym dniu u naszej rodzinki było:) Na Zawsze

Parking fee disgusting for customers.I was not aware of this because I haven’t visited the Sefton for many years.I very rarely go out anymore due to disability.I saw sign but didn’t have phone with me.I made the mistake of believing I would be ok if I was solely going in the Sefton and spending money as a customer and also being a blue badge holder.I spent a pleasant couple of hours there having a catch up with old friend and was absolutely disgusted to receive a £100 fine in the post two weeks later.I will not be going back there and will not be recommending it to anyone else.

this is the go to!! place for myself and family never had a bad meal or pint come to think of it only ever go there as i know we will be welcomed and have a enjoyable experience 5 star my faith has been restored after paul and tom quashed my car park fine from euro car parks better parking signage is now in practice and staff instructed to make aware to customers parking protocol take my advice have a lovely meal there............... and log in to the parking brilliant venue

Enjoyable meal. The Eton Mess dessert was lovely. Staff very helpful and Pub has nice Family orientated atmosphere. Thank You 😋

Foods ok bit generic pub grub nice big outside space, shame with all that room that there is not a play area for the kids.

The Vibe Liverpool provides social activities for adults with additional needs. Every Tues evening and Thursday afternoon we are in The Sefton Arms. We have a ball! The management and bar staff are so welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble. We are all totally accepted and believe me, this is not always the experience that we have. Come and join us anytime

Not somewhere to go if you're over 20, Friday early evening was full of 18 year olds. Had to walk past 7 door people to get in who were less than welcoming. First pub I've been in where people were openly vaping.

This pub is full of 17to 20 year olds. Avoid

Used to be a village pub. Has since changed to a boutique place. Drinks have become over priced, wouldnt mind but the drinks are served in warm glasses or not in the glasses they are supposed to be served in... sorry we run out of san miguel glasses so heres a coors glass... (for those who think thats prententious or silly, each glass is designed for the alcohol its served in, if you pay top price for the drink I'd expect it to be served in the glass its supposed to be in). Place needs to remember the locals who don't just attend when it's sunny or of a friday/Saturday near payday. Needs to remember the locals who went in of a Monday-Thursday. The people who go as its their local. Will lose a lot of trade. Sad to see.

Fantastic afternoon out at the Sefton. Had lovely tasty food served by fab staff. Friendly & helpful- definitely booking again, will make this our regular 'ladies that lunch' afternoon out with my buddies.

Welcoming,friendly, nice atmosphere

Used to be good food in here, lately it’s been a discrace, went there about a month ago, and got a mixed grill and my chicken breast was pink in the middle, I got a new piece of steak as the original one had more fat in it than Rick Waller, I gave it to the fella next to me as he had been told there was no steak even tho he asked for it before I got the new piece. I felt sly on him. We went today, me and the Mrs got fish and chips, the fish tasted like it was out of the Mersey and had more batter on than it had fish. Most shocking of all was my little girl had chicken nuggets and chips, the nuggets were ice cold in the middle, but they had cooked batter on them. (Warm ups), we where told “oh we carnt replace them the oil in the fryer isn’t right” yet they managed to batter the hell out of our fish. The staff are belters and always have been, but the gaff has went right down hill in regards to food, won’t be going here again especially not with my family.

Double communion staff & food at buffet lovely.

Lovely n hot food, beer garden is huge and sunny. Will be back

Love it here, whether it’s for one pint or ten!

went in this morning to see what it like the food was hot , had to ask for our main think they forgot . toast crumbled when bit in too over done and bacon were is the bacon. asked for a burger for my son got told there was none then customer next to us on next till asked and so I waited till they brought it out to see if they got burger and she did . why? drinks over priced and food over priced forwhat u get . won't be going back and used to be a lovely place to eat but u do need music . too quiet it's like an old person's pub. were they go for quiet time .customer service of the young lad at bar was exceptional . Well done. need to smile more in there too staff look miserable .

Brilliant beer garden could do with the aircon on inside and a few extra staff but a good place for a scoop in the sun

This was the Barries. Lovely boozer, belter beer garden.
