Felt very safe when entering the pub. Signs all round asking for everyone to wear masks. A lot of hand sanitisers to keep safe. Social distance was adhere by the staff and good distance from other tables. Nice welcoming from the man at the door and happily passed over my details for the track and trace. Will be returning

Popped in for set menu meal, food was ok, starters where nice but one of the mains was over cooked and dry. We received hardly any customer service, the tables didn’t seem far enough apart especially when 3 couples sitting on separate tables where celebrating and all stood together doing cheers without masks! We seen 2 tables vacated and then new cutlery put on table without cleaning. Wouldn’t return even after COVID is over.

Tuvimos una comida deliciosa esta noche, pero estábamos un poco molestos cuando el gerente (creo) se acercó a nosotros y nos dijo que había notado que uno de nosotros salía por la puerta trasera y regresaba por ese camino, sistema de ida y todo eso. Entiendo totalmente, pero no había personas entre nosotros y la puerta trasera y uno de nuestro grupo de 3 tiene EPOC grave y necesita aire fresco regular (hacía mucho calor en el pub sin ventilación). No había absolutamente nadie a quien tuviera que pasar para entrar y salir, ya que estábamos cerca de la puerta trasera; si hubiera dado la vuelta al frente, habría tenido que pasar al menos 4 o 5 mesas con invitados, lo que creó más problemas. Me molestó que se mencionara esto, ya que había varias otras personas haciendo lo mismo durante el tiempo que estuvimos allí y no lo vi acercarse a ellos (disculpas si lo hizo). Sin embargo, había varios puntos que podríamos mencionar si él quiere que sea tan particular y correcto, como el hecho de que cuando pedimos salsa, etc., nos la trajeron en botellas abiertas, seguramente los sobres son la única forma en este momento. otros establecimientos de comida: los frascos se habían usado bien y definitivamente no eran estériles. La gente necesita ser considerada con los demás - uno de nuestro grupo está muy enfermo y necesita aire fresco - no ha salido durante todo el tiempo y, gracias a los comentarios dirigidos, probablemente no volverá a hacerlo en mucho tiempo - bien hecho. Necesitaba aire fresco, nunca comprometería a nadie, pero aprovechó la oportunidad para salir (lo que muchas personas habían hecho durante toda la noche y volver a entrar, aparentemente inadvertido) y tomar un poco de aire. ¡La flexibilidad es la clave del éxito, creo!

Entré en el toro negro con mi novio para tomar unas copas y él quería comida, no había nadie en la puerta, pero aún así decía que esperara allí al final, tuve que caminar hasta el bar y preguntar qué hacíamos. Pedí algunas bebidas y esperé media hora por una bebida porque necesitaban sacar otra botella de licor de la bodega para mí todavía no debería estar esperando media hora, mi novio luego pidió comida, se olvidaron de uno de los lados y la chips donde se quemaron, realmente no estaban contentos con el servicio que se les dio.

Mi esposo y yo visitamos el fin de semana pasado para comer y beber y nos llevaron a una mesa aproximadamente a las 15. 20. A los 15. 50, un miembro del personal nos informó que teníamos que mudarnos porque la mesa había sido reservada a las 16. 30 y el cliente había llegado temprano. Cuando le indicamos que aún quedaban 40 minutos y que no era realmente nuestro problema si el cliente llegaba temprano, nos informó que era un cliente habitual. Un hombre muy agradable en una mesa cercana dijo que se mudaría y buscaría otro lugar para sentarse, por lo que estábamos muy agradecidos, pero estoy disgustado de que nos hayan tratado de esta manera. Mi esposo y yo somos lugareños y hemos estado visitando este pub durante muchos años y esto ciertamente no es una forma de tratar a un cliente.

Después de un bloqueo "protegido" durante más de 20 semanas, ahora que se aliviaron las restricciones, mi esposa y yo visitamos aquí para nuestra primera comida.Al principio estaba preocupado, pero los temores se disiparon inmediatamente en el momento en que entré. El gerente y su personal han introducido excelentes medidas destinadas a mantenerlo a salvo, y así es como nos sentimos.Una ventaja adicional para nosotros fue que visitamos y aprovechamos el Programa del 50% de descuento del Gobierno.Hacer el pedido fue sencillo y no hubo que esperar mucho para recibir la comida. Para empezar teníamos champiñones empanizados, mi esposa optó por pescado y patatas fritas para su plato principal mientras que yo tenía el tocino y champiñones carbonara. Todos los platos fueron absolutamente deliciosos y es muy satisfactorio saber que el nuevo Equipo de Gestión no es un flash en la sartén, sino que ha mejorado todo, la comida, el servicio y el ambiente.El personal aquí es muy profesional, amable y servicial. Es maravilloso tener un local con tan buenos estándares. . . .

The atmosphere here has improved 100% since the change of management and now has a really warm, friendly family feeling about it.Food has definitely got much better. Yesterday I opted for the Carbonara Pasta and it was delicious,as was the Scampi ordered by my wife. An added bonus, which we did not expect, was the fact that a bottle of wine only cost £10, making the whole experience a bargain.Special mention should be made of Rob who is the most helpful person you could hope to meet.Hopefully standards throughout the pub will continue and not prove to be a flash in the pan......l

Sunday Lunch for 7 today was so bad I dont know where to start ! It actually felt like it was cooked on Christmas day and warmed up and served again today. We opted for 5 Roast dinners, sea bass and lamb hotpot. The Roasts and accompanying pots of gravy were luke warm, the beef was fatty, the potatoes and veg were so hard you couldn't cut them ! Asked for extra gravy to help with the dry over heated food but it never arrived. Our 7 meals all arrived at different times, 2 meals arrived after the other 5 had finished eating !

Lovely setting and a very spacious room which was great, with having children with us. Table was set lovely. However, we had pre-paid a £5 per head deposit months in advance to reserve our table and our selected meals. Our seats were reserved and as previously said, we could not have asked for more with the allocated room. But, some of the children's meals that were pre booked including dessert were not available, therefore we had to substitute for alternatives. We were only told about this as we were sat at the table awaiting our food, we could have been informed even the day before so we could have made other choices rather than having to make a word of mouth choice at the table. The principle of paying a deposit and pre ordering is to prevent these issues so that customers can have a stress free experience.

I visited here this afternoon for a Sunday roast and opted for the 2 course set menu. Overall it was a good experience and exceeded my expectations. I had the trio of roast meats and all the trimmings, which were really good and a generous portion. I had the salted caramel profiteroles for desert, not the best but were ok for the price. Overall this is a good higher end chain pub, that serves good food at very reasonable prices. The atmosphere is also good, with roaring fires and a cozy, warm ambience, perfect for this time of year. Staff also very friendly and attentive. Thank you, will definitely be back.

I have fussy kids who only eat certain things but it wasn’t a problem for the kitchen. We was served by a Irish man who looked like the manager.

Visited our local of 20 years this evening. Have had a couple of complaints over the years that have been swiftly rectified. Not so this evening! We arrived around 6.45 to a busy pub and duly ordered a starter to share and 2 main meals. Our starter arrived after about an hour. We then waited a further 20 minutes before I approached a member of the bar staff about our main courses - “about 15 minutes” I was told. After about a further 20 minutes I saw the manager and expressed concern at our wait “it’ll be at least another 20 minutes” he said, walking away dismissively, with his back towards us. Am sorry to report that our favourite pub is now a “no go” Killed by abysmal customer service. A simple apology would have rectified the situation in a heartbeat. Shame on you Black Bull. Your loss is The Bear and Staff’s gain

A few of us ordered the fish & chips but unfortunately the fish wasn't cooked properly & the waitress wasn't helpful at all & when she came back after clearing the plates she just said the chef said he'd tested the temperature(still wasn't cooked tho)no apology or anything which is a pity as we have had nice roast dinners here in the past but will not be returning now.

We went as a family even for a birthday there was 12 of us. we was seated in the back and service was extremely slow. It took them around 20 minutes to take our order and a further 20 for our starters to arrive the starters where nice could not fault them but it was the main that was the problem. We gave up counting the time it took for our main arrived but whilst we was waiting I got up and went to the toilet came back sat sound went to pull my chair forward but the seat wasn’t attached to the chair and my finger got trapped under the seat and started bleeding I acquired a blood blister and an impact bruise. Around 9 or 10 ordered steak I ordered hunters chicken and another ordered a burger. The steak was disgusting very rubbery and hard to bite into. granddad couldn’t eat his at all and he was left hungry. nobody wanted to wait for another meal in compensation because we waited too long in the first place . My chicken was tough I could not cut it maybe it was because my finger was black from the chair but it was very tough. We left around 70% or our meals we ate the chips and a few extras that was on the plate and most of the steaks where left and half of my chicken was left. When they came to clear the plates we complained about the steak to a member of staff and said maybe it was a bad batch to which we got told it is fresh and we said maybe it’s the way it was cooked to which the member of staffs reply was ‘I like the way the chef cooks the steak’ we was mortified with the attitude and the reply. I would not recommend this place at all food is disgusting and the staff’s attitude was equally as disgusting but at least the dog enjoyed his steak we took home.

The Beast from the East had struck in the middle of March, bringing unseasonably bitterly cold weather. However, we braved the snow and icy roads to go for lunch in the Black Bull in Gateacre. The journey was worth it. Once inside, we soon warmed up by a roaring log fire. The pub is very homely, with mock-Tudor half-timbering exterior and oak beams inside. The welcome was as cheerful as the fire, and we were very well served by the friendly and efficient staff. There was a varied and reasonably priced menu with a number of vegetarian options and we had the halloumi served in a very crispy batter with lovely chips and mushy peas. There are disabled parking spaces in the car park at the rear of the pub and easy ramp access to the rear entrance.

Lovely pub/ restaurant, cosy with fires lit giving it a real warm feeling, food was good with lots of choice, didnt wait long for food to arrive, staff friendly and polite. Nothing was too much trouble, reasonably priced and if you sign up non line beforehand you get a £5 off voucher when you spend £20,

Metimos en con mi viejo amigo la semana pasada cuando él llegó desde Londres. Yo estaba buscando un lugar con un ambiente acogedor, buena cerveza y comida, así que el Black Bull era una elección obvia.

Mi familia y yo visitamos el toro negro para una comida de domingo y no nos decepcionó. La comida estaba bien caliente y fresco y la salsa era la guinda en la cima! El personal era muy amable y nos hizo sentir bienvenidos, sin duda volveremos de nuevo

The Black bull has always been local to me but having been previously in the past I found it really poor so didn't go again until about 5 weeks ago. And I'm so glad I did! What a complete turn around (baring in mind I hadn't been in years!) But it was really lovely and the food was fantastic! I've been once every week now, with the prices being so reasonable and I plan to keep going. The service is friendly and really quick. Even on one night where it was extremely busy and we were told there would be an hour wait but the food came out in 20 mins! Brilliant. Would definitely recommend a visit or 3 here.

Traveled all the way from East Yorkshire to collect something from nearby this pub. We had intended to try the Chef and Brewer pub up the road but it was closed. We were just passing this pub and thought it didn't have a car park but noticed the pub was open, then we saw the sign for the car park so thought great this will do. Well it did very well indeed. The welcome was friendly and the interior clean and interesting. We were early so told the brunch menu was available. My husband and I had an English breakfast and a pot of tea. We both said this is just what we needed, it was tasty, quickly served and all for £7.98! Our first time in Liverpool it was lovely to hear the accent. Well done

Looked good from outside , staff very friendly .sat in restaurant , but staff said family room with high chair for my 18 month old granddaughter further down ,ok .Well food arrived . Beef fatty ,could not cut. Grandsons steak fatty , could not cut . Roast pots anaemic and hard inside . Frozen veg and yorkshires !!! Sauges brown on outside , pink inside . Maybe if I had stayed in restaurant food would have been presentable , I don't mind paying more for good food . Had to go home and cook as we were hungry !!! Ice cream in dish , cornet plonked on top for kids sweet . I declined sweet as ,well say no more . When one member of staff asked if food ok , I said beef fatty and hard to cut , no response , oh well will not be visiting again . So very disappointed as reviews are so good but phew , not to my taste , obviously I just like good home like cooking . Is it that difficult ?

Booked this in advance after a day out with friends at laserquest... and this certainly hit the spot.The menu satisfied everyone.. 2 were vegetarians and had more than 1 option.The rest of us had lots of variety too.Really was a big thumbs up.. and despite being stuffed from the main course, we all went for desserts as they sounded delightfil. They were a big hit!Very reasonably priced and in a lovely quiet area. Good for all ages and something nice and casual.Definitely plan to return.

We come to this place quite often for a quick meal with the kids and we do always enjoy the food, find it reasonably priced and appreciate the good service. But, usually, with kids we have to sit in the less bright, secluded section of the pub and that always lets it down. This time however (last week) we, my husband and I visited without the kids and were able to eat/drink in the rest of the pub and it had a lot more atmosphere. It was a busy time, Saturday early evening but we managed to find a table. The food was mostly nice- starters arrived quickly and were tasty. My husband said his main of ribs was delicious but my sweet chilli noodles were a bit rubbish to be honest. No hint of chilli, and they were dry, the chicken in them was dry and they lacked any real flavour or sauce- edible but not enjoyable. Desserts were nice. Drinks were reasonably prices and service was good. Will be returning but won't order the noodles!

Every visit is fabulous. The rock and roll pantomime never ceases to amaze me. I have been going for over 20 years and never been disappointed. Venue is right in the heart of Liverpool- Food is spot on.

Carpathia Champagne Bar & Restaurantlocation-icon30 James StreetBritish

Stayed over on boxing night. The cocktails were nice. Food was average. My boyfriends meal arrived when I had nearly finished mine. Service was shocking - had to ask to have our plates removed and waiters must have walked past us 6 times without asking if we needed another drink. Another issue was that we ordered two pornstar martinis before getting the bill. We were not told that there was no Prosecco when ordering and were still charged £7.50 each for the drinks. Expected a lot more due to the reputation the restaurant has. Felt like the staff couldn’t wait to get rid of us!

The Old Bank - James St Liverpoollocation-icon2-8 James StreetBritish

First time trying the dish 'Scouse' and I am glad I did, I understand it's a staple of the Liverpool food scene. I was searching for a bowl of this hearty stew all over and couldn't find any, until I by chance stumble across the Old Bank. Washing it down with a very good pint of Guinness I was more than satisfied and didn't need to eat until way later into the evening (it does the job). The pub itself lacked a bit of atmosphere, but I think that may have been circumstantial to the time of day. Staff were friendly, and service was quick.

Food of late needs a vast improvement. Specifically, the Chinese/Cantonese dishes are poor quality, taste and too pricy. Regular staples have gone sown hill as well, curry etc.
