The Grapes, Formby in Sefton

Great spot. I'll for sure some back! Bar staff were all knowledgeable and friendly! Beers were crisp and the crack was grand!

Met friends here for lunch, nice pub , good food and service. Will go back again as we had a great time -staff very friendly and helpful.

Went for a walk on the beach and stopped here for lunch- staff were really friendly and helpful and a great selection of food

Went out for family birthday , got off to a great start ,starters were lovely , main course was awful , all 4 of us thought the food was tona very poor standard , pretty much spoilt the occasion , can't see us going back ,

Stopped here for a bit to eat - great selection of food in a very pleasant atmosphere. Definately dog friendly, we had 2 with us and it was no problem. Food was tasty and the service was excellent. I would definately recommend the pub for some lunch after a long walk along the beach.

This pub is a great place to hang out with friends to watch sports. Good beer selection and great food. Would recommend to anyone.

I am a regular , great staff and service ! Reason I keep coming back , staff cannot do enough for you . I hope stonehate keep the pub

We stopped by here after a visit to formby beach and pinewoods with our dog. Less than a 5 minute drive from the beach so the perfect place to stop for a drink or a bite to eat before heading home.The staff were really friendly and welcoming to us and our dog Olly. The food was delicious, decent pub grub. Dogs are welcome inside but if you would prefer to sit outside there is a little terrace or a few tables outside which are sheltered. Parking is available as well as electric car charging points.

Visited mid week 4pm with a party of 8. Staff were really friendly and the food was delicious. All 8 meals came out at the same time, with no complaints. Big thanks to Greg the licensee.

First time visiting this place, had been to the beach with friends and our dogs as a day trip over half term and came in during the afternoon as the weather turned. Bar staff were friendly and chatty, gave us some recommendations on their menu which has recently been revamped. So nice to have more dog friendly places to visit roo! Our dogs got plenty of attention from manager Gregg and had dog bowls with water. I got the crispy coated prawns to start and the Thai curry as a main. Both were quite nice, a bit of a surprise as didn’t expect much for pub grub. Friends got a mix of things for the ‘build your own sharers’ and were pleasantly surprised too. It all came out quickly after ordering, was well presented and was still hot. Not local to Formby so might not be back frequently but would happily visit again if in the area and recommend.

Absolutely great place for pool and drinks. Staff were super friendly especially Martin and helpful (especially Martyn). Also a great location for watching sports too - couple of TVs in front of the pool tables.

we came to the grapes after recommendation. Food was great, had the scampi, very yummy ! Drinks came quick ! Rosie was so sweet!

We were over for the weekend staying nearby, popped in to watch the football and grab a bite to eat. We were only supposed to stay for an hour or so but we ended up setting up for the whole night, lovely staff who were all very friendly. Would definitely recommend!

We were served by Rosie and Nathan. They were so lovely and nothing was too much. They made the nicest cocktails and we had a lovely evening because of them!

I love going the grapes, the bar staff are always very friendly and helpful. Today I came in and had some of the small plates. The food was very nice, lots of flavour and served hot. Always a pleasant atmosphere with friends and family's. See you soon 😃

this place is a disgarce ordered food twice never received it.needs shutting down, staff said nothing they can do with food oders dont use uber eats

Nice pub and the staff are great beer was all good but the food horrible I couldn’t even say it was pub grub, it was borderline of being the worst food I have had apart from one. Wouldn’t come back for the food but the staff was very friendly and pleasant.

Went here with family for drinks and food, the food was great for pub grub, lots of choices and deals. All hot etc. Definitely worth the visit. I will be going again.

Have to say fantastic organisation for such a big pub on Xmas day. Drinkers looked equally as well as diners. Staff couldn't do enough.All the visitors to the pub were happy and stress free. Well done all the staff. 👍

Really nice employees, very helpful, good choice of beer / lager. Food is mediocre, you get what you pay for but will definitely be our new local.

Amazing food and we had an evening together after losing our dear nanny. Atmosphere was lovely and staff but food was just fabulous we had clean plates and full tummy's. Definitely come here again. Thank you for such a wonderful evening.

Terrible service all the managers are jobsworths and awful food. Wouldn’t recommend as it is an absolute bin which also smells of poo f the grapes

My son and partner are going to Australia for a long time . Without considering the quality of The Grapes purely because over the last 40 years , it’s been high standard I booked a farewell dinner I am so disappointed, the Sunday Roast was not a Sunday Roast , When you needed a drink , the bar people were non existent ! The new management took a while to realise I would like to put some money in the till ! The toilet had doors broken off , the place is so run down and tired . I’m gutted such an amazing Icon pub in Formby has been left to rot! The food cost £17 per head and was disgusting I’m so sorry to complain but it’s the worse quality, I have ever had in my life

Visited here with the family(table of 6) last week for food and couldn’t fault anything! The staff were very accommodating and welcoming, and the food was perfect with the portions being great too. There is a lot to choose from on the menu with different things that can suit anybody. Will definitely be visiting again

Came in for the Friday night quiz with friends and we really enjoyed the night. We had food whilst we were there and ordered off the small plate menu, the food was hot and tasty. Rob and his team are doing a fantastic job!

Went with my two children food was ok it was mainly the price and management was really disrespectful when I asked could I have the childrens dessert. I wouldn’t reach out to the person who is in charge at the moment he seemed really stressed and quite rude to be honest.

Came in today with the partner for a Sunday roast as seen advertised on the big board outside, food was spot on & staff were great, manager Chloe offered us sides of roasties & yorkies for no extra charge to which we wouldn’t turn down ;) Absolutely amazing booked straight in for Christmas with the family! Thankyou the grapes

A great surprise, 4 of us went in for a last minute meal, this was a great decision, this place has a very welcoming atmosphere, the staff were really pleasant, the meals could not be faulted and the service was exceptional. Thank you for a very pleasant evening.

What a great pub, welcoming. Rob the manager and his staff make the place. Enjoyed the drink and Alfie our sausage dog enjoyed his biscuits and water off Rob. Well pleased Thanks Alan,Mandy and the sausage dog Alfie.

Lovely experience here, very friendly staff and amazing atmosphere. definitely will be coming again!

Absolutely lovely pub, very spacious with lots of tables and chairs. Staff are all lovely and well mannered and service for drinks and food is very officiant. Highly recommended

Came in today with my family of 11 for a catch-up meal, we were asked to do a pre order, thought it was to check stock but no our food was already fired as we walked through the door and maybe 10 minutes later all 11 meals on the table piping hot, same with all 11 deserts servers Joe & Gavin were absolutely amazing and those chefs in the kitchen have clearly been doing this for a while, couldn’t fault a thing! staff were chatting away to my young children and colours & colouring in sheets were offered to keep them occupied, honestly amazing, amazing service, family loved it and we will definitely be back:) huge thankyou to our servers from today x x

Good ale, friendly staff and great beer garden too so I’ll definitely be visiting again soon for a nice cold pint

Fab pub, lovely atmosphere, staff were lovely and very reasonably priced. Had food too some great deals on and very tasty, will definitely be visiting again :)

Used to eat at the Grapes quite regularly however recent experience will ensure that I won’t again. Simple meal of burger and chips. That was exactly it, burger and chips. No garnish, coleslaw, tomato, nothing. Bun was freezing cold. Could have at least warmed it....

Great service and lovely atmosphere! Will be back to try the food which all looked lovely and fresh xx

I had an amazing time at the grapes I came in on Friday afternoon we had one of the most amazing meals ever I had Mac and cheese and my friend had the 10oz gammon... Thankyou to Rosie and chole the waitress's and Nathan the...

We had a really good day watching the rugby! Rosie makes a really good baby guineas and was absolutely lovely!

Friendly staff.We were served by a young man called Nathan who was friendly and knowledgeable he pointed out the meals with the inclusive drinks which was great value. We had the burgers and chips and thoroughly enjoyed them. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Was in the pub last week with family for a meal and would like to praise the helpful and friendly staff, in particular Nicola who went out of her way to serve us as quickly as possible, despite how busy the pub was.

Went to watch the football, plenty of tvs and Nicola and the team behind the bar were excellent even when it was busy

Came into the pub the other day for lunch. Food was lovely and would like to say thank you to our server Nicola for being so accommodating. Will definitely be back.

Went to the grapes with a bunch of friends to try the new menu. There was plenty of choice, the burgers were superb. The venue was clean and crisp. The staff were extremely pleasant and the atmosphere was fantastic. There are plenty of TVs around...

What a great pub! Not only is it cheaper than most places in Formby but the staff are very friendly and welcoming. It’s a great size so you can have your own space and not feel to cramped. The food is fab and the new...

Not been for a long time, menu completely changed - no lunchtime specials which was disappointing as does not compare well now with other places that do. My all day Monday special of tikka masala & rice was straight out of a microwave meal box...

First time for a while that I have come here for some food……. Amazing !! Well done Nice atmosphere, clean and dog friendly (which is a must)

Visited here a few days ago when the sun was shining for a few drinks with friends which we often do. Sat in the beer garden which was such a lovely and relaxing atmosphere and got a few bites to eat which came out very...

Good food and choice of drinks. Great atmosphere for the charity shield match of Liverpool versus Manchester City. Prompt service.

We came yesterday for lunch and had wonderful service from Maisy. Served with a smile, thank you. Food was great too. Will come again.

Came for dinner ended up staying for the football. Good atmosphere. Great that they could put the sound on in different areas. Coming back tonight for the Liverpool match.

Great to see a second pool table. Its in a prime position so we are now not shoved out of the way. Good to see so many more people using it which can only be good for the future of the league. Well done!!!

New menu was great. Had some of the small plates and the mixed grill. Music was great used to feel like a library.

Traveling through Formby I called in for a late lunch. 35 minutes after ordering Gammon I asked at the bar if I would have to wait much longer. When the enquiry was made in the kitchen the barman then brought our food. It had obviously...

Went tonight meal awful sent it back sausages burnt mash awful. Ordered another meal again food poor. Would not recommend and never go again for food. Service pretty poor first girl apologised second girl just took our more than half full meal on plate and...

The building may be a bit of a faded beauty - but the service is warm, welcoming and helpful. All 5 of us loved our meals here, being good quality, tasty “pub grub”. Great value too - especially the lunchtime menu ! What more could...

Over the last couple of weeks I have been in the Grapes for a mixture of things. Went in with 15 lads, unannounced, after a charity football match. Took the kids for a meal in there after a long walk on the beach and woods...

I ate here last weekend while visiting Formby with my family and was impressed with the place. When we first arrived the pub was rammed as the Liverpool game was on and I can see why it is popular as there are screens absolutely everywhere....

Went in for Sunday Lunch today and will not return… just one thing after another. Things like running out of beef and no more cauliflower cheese at 2.30pm you can live with. But also no hot drinks as the machine was broke (so boiling a...

First visit to this very large former coaching house. Visited as going to the beach and it was dog friendly. My wife and myself both ordered off the sandwiches menu. I had a philly steak with rare rump steak as I requested. The filling was...

I have visited The Grapes twice in the past few weeks for food & drinks and both times have been a disappointment. Seems to be a limited menu, especially on Sunday ( no roast dinners left at 3pm) the staff seem to lack enthusiasm and...

Haven’t been for ages due to lockdowns and stuff. What a treat - great menu with lots of different twists, excellent staff and great value for money. Food wise loved the prawn and calamari starter, mains all excellent with the star of the show a...

Another great meal. The staff always ensure everyone is well looked after here. One of our party had dietry requirments that were catered for with out any fuss

Visited the Grapes and cannot speak highly enough about the staff. Always friendly and helpful. Chatty and smiling. Drinks great and even a “dog bar” for the furry family member.

Had a wonderful visit at the grapes formby! A lovely young gentleman named Nathan was extremely helpful and told me what selections of white wine they had and cocktails. Food was marvelous excellent portions and quick service. Will definitely be visiting again soon!

Another lovely family meal, food amazing and tasty. The bar staff are so friendly and chatty as always. My favourite place to go!

Went for dinner with the family. We had a great time the food was amazing and leah and Amanda are always so pleasent.

We travel from West Yorkshire to see family and The Grapes is very welcoming. The staff are friendly and helpful. I did however, enter a competition in January but I never knew if anyone actually won?

Visited the grapes again, never been disappointed in the few times I have been great food and atmosphere looking forward to my visit on Saturday

Went for lunch and had the 2 courses for £9.99 Food was excellent, big portions. All served by excellent staff. Will definitely be going back

We decided to visit the Grapes Formby as we heard that new people had taken over. Some meals were unavailable because of supply problems but it did not spoil our afternoon. Was surprised to hear that the couple who now run the pub have only...

Just a lovely lunch at The Grapes in Formby. Excellent service and food - Mum's lamb shank fell off the bone and our turkey roulade with roasties was scrummy! Compliments to Sophie and her chefs and Ashleigh behind the bar.

Xmas lunch with the girls, opted for the festive fayre which we had to pre order in advance. Fantastic value for money. Seafood cocktail was delicious and plentiful. Lamb shank just fell off the bone and melted in the mouth yum 😋 loads of seasonal...

We have visited twice in the past week, staff are lovely, it's very warm and welcoming, drinks are very reasonable. I had the lobster and seafood cocktail which was delicious, however the bitter salad was a minus. The other meals looked good (starters) and there...

Would highly recommend The Grapes for a Christmas get together. The menu is really reasonably priced for 3 courses with a good vegan and vegetarian option and the staff were great; really friendly and welcoming.

Really nice meal from the festive menu this evening. Staff very attentive and made sure that all the parties requirements were met. Lovely vegan options for each course. Food came out quickly and was piping hot. Very festive decor despite us being very early in...
