The Bold Pub in Sefton

Decided to pop in for lunch one afternoon with my wife as the place always looks so cozy and welcoming. Was greeted by Chloe the waitress who was really friendly and helpful who asked us where we would like to sit. The place was quite busy but we got a really nice table and didn't have to wait very long before our order was taken. The food was really nice with very generous portions and all the waiting staff were very attentive whenever we needed drinks. The atmosphere was relaxed and cozy and once we had finished eating we stayed at our table for a few extra drinks. The staff were very friendly and were keen to chat to us and we never felt rushed to vacate our table. We decided to book to come back after Christmas and Chloe took our details and confirmed our booking via text almost immediately. If you are looking for a cozy afternoon out over Christmas then definitely give this place a try. The food is great and the atmosphere is friendly and it has a real Christmas feel to it on a cold winter day

Went to there advertised fireworks night tonight after buying drinks was told all tables were booked no reservations signs on tables and told we could sit outside on pavement loads of other families getting the same reception shocking would not return

Gorgeous friendly bar. The staff were all exceptional. Sadly most of the food was appalling. Starter was very good but the mains!!! Steak was inedible. Sent back twice and in the end not charged for it. Beef noodles greasy and slimy. No sign of the veg. Fish was edible but badly presented. The waiters really do deserve better from the kitchen.

My wife and I have just returned from a weekend break at the Bold. Found this hotel to be a a very good choice. It was clean, comfortable, peaceful and In a good central location. We went on a room only basis to give us the freedom of having meals in the hotel or elsewhere if we wanted to. We ended up just having breakfast at the hotel. This was very good and at a reasonable cost. As my wife and I have walking difficulties we were a bit apprehensive to find it didn't have a lift. This was not really a problem for us because the stairs seem to be in short flights of 5 or 6 stairs. The staff are pleasant and more than willing to help anyone who needs it. While on the subject of staff I would like to mention one of the receptionists named Amy. This lady could not be more helpful and seemed genuinely pleased to help with anyone who wanted it. One small problem if any. The walk in shower did not have a grab rail so you have to take care not to slip. All in all we had a very good break and would book it again if we wanted to.

The Bold had a good selection of food and drinks on offer and the prices were reasonable. The food was good and although they were fairly busy the wait for the meal was not too long, however having said that I do feel that more staff would have been useful on a Saturday night as although we had booked a table we had to wait to be seated and we couldn't attract anyone to serve a second drink. This should not reflect on the waiters as they were working very hard they just needed more help.
