The Devon Doorway in Wirral

We were very happily surprised to have 3 course meal where every course was fresh and tasty as each other. Well done to Graeme, the chef today. The food was homemade and served by Eloise who was pleasant and professional. The atmosphere was great too, even for an early ebony meal.

Eloise was exceptional - great family meal - nothing too much trouble. Steak was a great recommendation, although I’d switch the onions for tomatoes next time.

This is a lovely restaurant, well presented with helpful and attentive staff. The food was absolutely delicious, all credit to our chefs Jon and Luke. Each of the party of four had three courses, wine and cocktails along the way, they were beautifully presented with just enough time between courses. Our waiter Ollie was extremely helpful when explaining the options and dishes and each course was served with a smile and an exceptional eye for detail. This waiter was professional and helpful throughout the whole evening. Overall a lovely pleasant Easter night out with friends and good dining. I would recommend this place highly.

Ollie was a pleasure, service with a smile and very nice guy. Hope to be served by him again soon. The food served by Dave and Andy was delicious. The lamb roast was absolutely gorgeous and couldn’t have asked for better service Well done Devin doorway

Yet another winning visit to probably a top 3 pub restaurant in Heswall. We always get great service and food. Grace looked after us well, and we wanted for nothing. The pub with its lights and thatched roof looks great, and welcoming the ambience is friendly and it's a well used pub restaurant always busy which speaks volumes for the continued quality of service and food visit after visit. A favourite of ours we will be back.

Excellent food, lovey atmosphere but a bit dark to read the menu. Staff very attentive especially Mia who I’d give a 10 out of 10 👍 Not been for a while but glad we went back and would happily recommend to friends and family 😊

I was ignored when waiting to be seated, the waitress addressed the couple behind me before realising their mistake and apologised. Wine a tad expensive but food seemed appropriate ly priced. The reason for the low rating was my duo of pork dish was cold. I don't mean not piping hot or not warm enough but cold. This included the gravy. This meant rather than melting pork belly fat, it was cold. The pork fillet, cold, probable would have been fine if served immediately, but it was cold and dry. Staff DID offer to order again or something different to be fair. Having gone straight to the main with no starter, waiting over half an hour, I ate it as was ravenously hungry but with no great enjoyment. The meal was taken off the bill so would consider going back. Just very upset as if brought to table as chef intended I expect would have been delicious!!!!

Absolutely love the Devon Doorway- our go to for nice food. Particularly like Sunday afternoons with the live music. We went yesterday for a Sunday roast and it was brilliant. The roast potatoes were gorgeous- not many places do a decent roast potato, but the Devon Doorway does. I had the roast pork and it was cooked to perfection. Our waiters Ollie and Matt were excellent, really professional, attentive and checked we had everything we needed a few times. We've already booked for Christmas dinner here because it's so good, why have the hassle of cooking at home.

We had a lovely meal for my birthday. The food was very good and the service from Ollie was excellent

Ollie was a fantastic host, looking after us after a great day at the races; The shared seafood tempura (ish) starter was sensational

Lovely place with a great menu- so many delicious sounding options, its hard to choose! We came on a Monday lunchtime. Service was excellent (thank you, Ollie! ) We ordered the beef carpaccio, crab,prawn and chorizo linguine and the fish cakes. The house salad was a refreshing change from the usual and had apple, sapphire and grains (I think it may have been a version of their superfood salad). Desserts are great too- recommend the lemon tart and the rhubarb crumble, although (to nit pick) the custard needs work. All in all, a fab lunch!

Great food, all four of us gave Dave the chef a big thumbs up. Servers Jaz and Matt offered just the right amount of service without becoming intrusive.

Excellent service from Eloise and the food was delicious!

Fantastic mothers day meal. Brilliant service from ollie & wonderful food the chefs luke & graeme.

Always my pleasure. The food is good and so is the service and drinks. Very nice atmosphere. It's worth it.

Me and my girlfriend absolutely love it here from the live music to the aesthetics and the food every single aspect is top notch. We use this restaurant to celebrate any big achievements between the two of us and often stay at the premier inn near by to make a night of it purely cause of how much we love it at Devon’s doorway. The staff are pleasant and welcoming and the food is just Devine I would 100% recommend their scallops and you have to try their cocktails

Lovely food and lovely atmosphere we always have date nights here

We were served by jaz and Matt who were both very welcoming, it was great how seriously they took my allergens during a new menu launch too. Food was fresh and delicious.

Lovely meal out for my birthday. Great service by a fab team, young man and young lady doing a great job ❤️

Good service and an excellent starter. However, please avoid the main course fish and chips. The chips are good but the fish was so salty my throat was still dry the day after. The fish was awful to eat but I cannot fault the bar/waiting staff and the venue.

Came here on 15/03/25 around dinner time, amazing place to eat - Staff are very attentive and food is amazing, will 100% be returning

We had just walked the Wirral Way, so wanted something close, lovely pub with an eye catching menu, just a short walk from the centre. We arrived unannounced on a Saturday evening, it felt quiet as we approached but it was really busy with a nice vibe, thankfully they managed to fit us in. We both had the seafood Linguine accompanied by garlic bread and it was very nice, a good range of beers too, the waitress was really nice but a little nervous as it was her first night.

Dinner for a birthday. Served by a lovely waitress Jaz who was very friendly and helpful. Food was absolutely beautiful. We had mains and desert. I had the Salmon off the special menu and Creme Brulee. My friend had the lamb and the apple tart. Lovely coffee to finish. Atmosphere is lovely. Cosy and relaxed. Definitely recommend.

Served by Ellie and Eloise, very friendly and attentive service. Food was lovely, hot and tasty, cooked by the chefs Dave and Andy. Lovely atmosphere and beautiful setting.

The food was amazing and staff were attentive and friendly. We will definitely be coming back!

The singer tonight has a gorgeous voice and sang “iris” for us 🥰

Jaz our server was ace. Food was lovely - I can recommend Roast Trip of meats 👌🏻

Loved the food, Matthew was a really nice guy.

Great breakfast.. great service by Jay. highly recommend 👍

Been working close by and visited 2 evenings on both occasions service and the food were first class, special shout out to the kitchen team for the excellent hake fillet- Amy & Luk (?) Will certainly visit next time I'm in the area

We had a fantastic experience at The Devon Doorway. From the moment we walked through the door, we were warmly welcomed, and our server Eloise was exceptional. She was attentive, friendly, and made our dining experience even better. The food was absolutely delicious – every dish was perfectly cooked and full of flavour. Highly recommend this place for a wonderful meal and great service!

We were served by Eloise and Matt Davies who were lovely and welcoming and made sure that everything we needed was catered too. Our drinks and food came out quickly and were lovely!!! Couldn’t recommend these 2 enough and will definitely be coming back !!!

Eloise and Florrie were great and the food was amazing as always, worth the wait! The sticky toffee pudding was sensational. The girl on her first shift today did a great job!

Great food great service and a big bonus getting a rewards card with a free glass of moet !! It’s amazing highly recommend getting one as soo many offers with it free Chablis Moet etc

Great food, excellent wine ( and beer) and very efficient and friendly service; what more could you want?

Food great, service very friendly and professional - big shout out to Ollie who served us on Saturday evening.

Eloise who served us was very good

We came for a Sunday roast, and were served by the lovely Jaz. Food was beautiful and well presented and service was excellent. Highly recommend.

A wonderful pub with incredible food and great staff - perfect for the whole family. Had a 3 course meal one Saturday afternoon with our 6 year old. Food, atmosphere and staff were all perfect. Had the best time. Thank you

Lovely fish & chips. Great service by Eloise. Thanks 😊

Lovely food from chefs Graeme and Callum, with server Eloise pleasant and helpful. I found the Devon Doorway a very good choice for a meal out with my elderly parents.

Lovely food and great service, Eloise was really attentive and good recommendations for wine alternatives. Food was tasty and good value.

This was an excellent meal really enjoyed the food the staff where so kind and friendly I would definitely come here again

We had a fantastic meal, really friendly and relaxed. Our waitress Jas was great, nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely return when in the area.

I have worked away and ate in so many different pubs but this one is above them all. Really good menu and offers for great value. The food is impeccable and the service is fantastic. The place even smells nice when you walk in, I highly recommend it the staff and owners have obviously worked very hard to make it the way it is.

Welcoming, friendly, and helpful staff. Went above and beyond with all our requests and queries. Incredible tasty dishes prepared with attention to detail. Calm and relaxing atmosphere.

Lovely Sunday roasts, live music and atmosphere was perfect

We had an excellent Valentines meal, well cooked and excellent choices.

Eloise was our waitress and very helpful as I personally like to know which desserts are the biggest! Had a Sunday roast and it was stunning... (thanks Dave and Callum). Highly recommended 👌

Came for a family meal for my birthday. Food was amazing. Best roast dinner on the Wirral. Our waitress was Eloise and she was very attentive and helpful 10/10

Cozy atmosphere, friendly staffs and tasty foods. A nice pub to spend the weekend with you family.

Was last here 55 years ago so it's changed a bit. Good food, efficient service, keen prices and great atmosphere. Mustn't leave it another 55 years to visit again - but I do I've 420 miles away now!

Attention to detail is noticed and appreciated. Rinsing wine glasses with ice to give the glass a chill, smart touch. Just need pint glasses in the fridge for a 6* review!

Lovely surroundings, interior very comfortable. Very friendly and welcoming staff especially our server, Matt who was very attentive, polite and funny but maintaining a level of professionalism. The meal was delicious,especially the rib eye steaks which were cooked perfectly by chefs Jon and Gibbo. Really would recommend The Devon Doorway. Ample car parking at the rear and plenty of outside seating around the large firepit. Only criticism regarding the interior of the restaurant is the bright white spot lighting...just too much...but that's just personal choice I suppose. Overall, a great experience and will definitely visit again soon.

Didn't try the food, just a quick pint but atmosphere was nice, beer was fresh. Only issue was the outside heating didn't work and it was rather chilly but otherwise lovely spot. Edit: After receiving a VERY swift response I have upgraded this to a 5 star because THAT is impressive attention to detail. I look forward to my next visit!

Went for Sunday lunch on a very wet, windy & miserable day in January. It was so warm & cosy inside with the real fires burning & such beautiful decor. The staff were so lovely & attentive ! I had the beef roast & it was devine. Great pub & cannot wait to go back 😀

Was served by a lovely lady called Holly absolutely sound girl , food was amazing would go again

Great food by chef’s Luke and Andy and looked after by Eloise brilliantly, definitely back soon

My three friends and I had a lovely lunch . The waitress was lovely friendly polite and adhered to our needs and requirements . She was customer focused well done to her. The food was lovely and good value for money The car park is small and tricky to navigate people hadn't parked very well which is not great when you are with folks who have mobility issues Other than that our food and experience was great and we had a lovely afternoon 😊

Eloise was fabulous and brill service

My wife and I had a great lunch today at The Devon Doorway. The food, as usual, was tasty and well presented. Eloise the server is a credit to the pub restaurant and the chefs today, Luke and Andy, prepared excellent dishes for us.

Eloise was our server, she was brilliant, friendly and lovely. Our chefs were Graeme and Luke. Our food was delicious 😋 we had the steak pie, would recommend

We booked a table in the restaurant for our Anniversary meal, on arrival the restaurant felt welcoming, Eloise was most charming as we checked in and were shown to our table, drinks arrived fairly quickly and orders taken with a smile. The meal was delicious, nothing left to waste. Drinks ordered as and when with efficiency. The whole experience was lovely, helped greatly by Eloise, the manager and her staff. Thank you for an excellent meal.

Latest review, 16th. January 2015. Another excellent lunch here. My lamb rump was delicious and my wife was very happy with her half chicken with honey sauce. Lovely service from Eloise and compliments to chefs Dave and Luke, whose food was certainly not luke warm….🤣 New review:- We had Saturday lunch here with our grandson and his girlfriend, a 3 course blowout! Once again, all the food was delicious, the service from our waitress, Hollie, was excellent and the Christmas decorations very effective and tasteful. Very enjoyable indeed. Previous review:- Lovely Sunday lunch here yesterday, including sirloin steak for my wife and pork belly roast for me. Delicious! Very nice surroundings and excellent, courteous, hardworking staff too.

Love this place. Eaten here a few times and never had a bad meal. Place itself is lovely, staff are great and food is excellent.

Visited Devon Doorway today 13th September 2024 and was very impressed with all aspects of food service and atmosphere. Always a place my mother enjoyed visiting over past several decades and I was totally impressed with today's offerings in every way. Thank you Libby Dave Luke and very pleasant manager. Ciao Ken

Nice atmosphere decor and Katy was very efficient during a very busy Monday night as were the 2 young ladies with drinks and food service Food good . Visited Jan 6 2025

What a fabulous experience for me and my daughters! The service was perfect thanks to our server Hollie and the food was amazing - thanks to Shon and Gibbo accommodating two very different tastes in my kids 😆 Love it here and well worth a visit!

Lovely host and service! Food was incredibly nice and Eloise was a great server.

Amazing place great staff and lovely food would highly recommend for a night out.

We have been today for xmas dinner 5 of us.all perfect.had lovely time thank you.we will be booking next year.

We were looked after we'll for a family funeral..thanks to the staff for being great

We visited I was surprised how good the food was. Better than Gusto the week before. This place isn’t cheap but good food and atmosphere with a singer on which was a nice surprise. Eloise served us, lovely and friendly. Complements to the chefs Graeme & Andy

Jaz was lovely, service was quick. Enjoyed a lovely meal here - very tasty. We love it here and will come again soon. Thank you

I ordered fish and chips. Miniscule amount of chips (that I could count on one hand). Fish was also small and tasteless. After waiting 15 minutes to be asked if I would like a further drink, I waited at least a further 10 minutes for it to arrive. Very underwhelmed by the whole experience

We've been to the Devon doorway on many occasions the food is always excellent and the staff are always very attentive and friendly the server on this occasion was Ollie and he lived up to our expectations very well very knowledgeable and courteous

Great food, lovely festive atmosphere and good value. We made a last minute reservation and despite it being hectic on arrival we were seated quickly. The decoration was modern and well lit to counter the wooden accents and historic nature of the building. Three courses were all exquisite and left us feeling full but not stuffed. The wine was a good match and the mini dessert and cocktail combo finished the evening perfectly. Staff were friendly and attentive and took care of everything. I've been wanting to visit here for years and will not leave it so long to return.

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere we do love coming to the Devon doorway, the food is amazing and the atmosphere is lovely. 5* stars all the way!!!

Premier inn didn't have space to serve me (1 person) cause I didn't book, 2 days in a row got a seat in this pub, food is brilliant, staff are extremely helpful and lovley.

Katy and Sam where fantastic in helping my wife with options regarding her intolerance, and its refreshing to see staff knowledgeable in this area. Food was fantastic and a big thanks to Dave and Graeme the chefs on the day. All in all, a pleasurable midafternoon lunch which was made all the more pleasurable by Katy and Sam. Thank you both.

Good atmosphere, service and food.

Jaz is awesome. Looked after our group really well. Great with our kids and fun banter with the adults! The food was the best we've had here so far as well! I had the Hake special and my partner has the turkey roast. Couldn't below succulent both dishes were. Place is on the up for sure. Can't wait to bring my family back here. Thanks Jaz you made our night!

Disappointed on my first visit. Maybe my expectations were too high from what I had heard but the food was average.

Went for Sunday lunch, the pub is decorated really well for Christmas, lovely atmosphere. Service was great, food was delicious. Thanks to Penny, Graeme and John.

My husband and daughter had a lovely meal, I booked them in as I was working and they absolutely loved it, I was very jealous!! Both dishes they had were lovely. My husband had the seabass and our daughter had the burger, both were full of flavour and the staff were amazing, so welcoming, friendly and attentive. We'll all be back very soon. Cheers!

Excellent food and service, costs a little bit more but worth it

Well I have driven past this pub for years. Thank goodness we went in!!! Really nicely decorated and a roaring fire going. We were greeted and seated quickly. Our drinks order taken and bought over. Once we decided on food we probably only waited 15 mins or so until our food came. Wow. hot delicious and so beautifully presented. I chose belly pork and my hubby chose the cod. We also ordered some onion rings which were amazing. All the food was seasoned well. I didn't add any salt or pepper. I ate every morsel on my plate. The tartar sauce with the fish was delicious and the batter crispy. The cod flaked and was pure white. Really lovely. We will be back. Cannot believe i haven't been here before! Katy served us as well as a man who bought our drinks over. Well done Devon Doorway. You now have 2 more regular customers

Great decor, great service, delicious food and Eloise was an excellent waiter.

Visited for the first time, and it was amazing! The atmosphere is cozy, and the food was absolutely delicious. A big shoutout to Jay, who was so helpful and friendly throughout—he really made us feel welcome and took great care of us. Definitely planning to come back soon. Highly recommend!

Disappointed with the food considering the prices. Not very hot and meat in steak pie was so tough my mum in law couldn’t cut through it. In fairness she was offered an alternative meal but given the time we had already waited for our meals we didn’t take that option. The pork belly had the taste of stale frozen meat and was mostly fat. I accept pork belly is fatty but one small slice? The veg and gravy was tasty but overall I dont feel the food is worthy of the price tag. Service was ok. Won’t be coming again- disappointed as the place looks lovely. Complaint dealt with satisfactorily.

Great Sunday lunch and Penny really looked after us.

Great Sunday roast with a lovely festive atmosphere. Lovely attentive service from El, fantastic as always.

Went for dessert. Was very disappointed with quality of the food... Had the Lemon tart. Just poor quality and presentation..

First visit. Great choice of food. Very friendly & welcoming hosts explained different dining options. Jazz looked after us and was fab! Was super busy but still plenty of parking. 2 reasons for dropping a star which hopefully will be useful feedback. Pastry on steak pie was over baked. Filling was superb. And the music choice & volume was not suitable for dining. Had to shout to each other to be heard.

A nice joint for food and a drink!

Lovely pub nice big pub, service was quick and the girls were very friendly, beer was excellent, toilets were great and very clean, it was my first visit as I was visiting.

We had a great meal and night out as usual

Amazing evening. Food was top notch, great value for money and our hostess Eloise was brilliant. Very attentive, friendly and all round great service.

We came for a meal for my Dads Birthday and we were served by Jaz and she was amazing and so polite. We all loved our meals amazing service! Thank you so much Jaz, you were amazing!

I have never been to this lovely looking old pub before,but have drove past it many times over the years,with it's Thatched Roof,it's a Beautiful building to look at, really nice and stylish interior inside as we walked in ,very friendly bar staff and we was served straight away at the bar, we had a quick drink then we was seated at our table,our waitress was a lovely young lady named Eloise,very polite she was too,i ordered the Steak and Ale Pie,and my wife ordered the Belly Pork,both our meals were amazing,the Pie was full of flavour,and plenty of Steak in it as well,my wife said she was very impressed with her meal ,after our meal we ordered our puddings,i got the white chocolate creme brulee, and my wife got the Apple tart,and as with our mains they were also delicious,so credit too the chefs Jon V and Jon J,i would happily come back here again and recommend if your in the area you pop in and try this Beautiful Pub.
