The Harry Beswick in Wirral

Have eaten here in the past and had no complaints. Today, we ordered the Sunday Roast platter for 2. It arrived within minutes, It then took another few minutes for the plates and cutlery to arrive, so the food was lukewarm. Overall the quality was disappointing- meat very dry and potatoes and parsnips just about cooked. Service was also not to the standard expected- questioning looks when requesting more gravy and had to go and find our own condiments. On the plus side the fish and chips ordered by two of our party was good. Overall a disappointing experience and I would expect a far higher standard of Sunday Roast.

Lovely meet up with friends, warm & friendly atmosphere & the food was delicious. Small portion fish & chips was a really good size, piping hot with lovely crisp batter. Had the crumble for dessert which was gorgeous. Danielle went above & beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, knew the menu & was able to make recommendations. Would definitely recommend - a lovely place to meet up & good value too.

A lovely meal with friends at the Harry Beswick. Food was excellent as always. Burgers especially good. Banana desert was delicious. Brilliant service from the lovely Danielle Will be back very soon

Lovely place first time here. Nothing to complain about. Great food Drinks. Lovely service. We'll be back 😊 We all loved it.

Booked a table in advance and went as a couple with two friends. on a Friday. It was table service for drinks and food so no having to queue up at the bar(a bonus). The meals were excellent, as was the service (we were served by (Kerry Ann?) We will return.

What I don't get is surely you want customers to return so why do mediocre food that is mainly out the freezer nothing different ,I had a small burger and small thin cold chips like McDonald's, small portion, over priced, and underwhelming. Why you cant cook home made chips is baffling. Go and buy your burgers from Massies. Disappointed wont be going back.

Chose from the 2 course lunch menu....Brie with onion chutney... well..spot the brie ....was all onion chutney with literally specks of brie ...not chapatta bread as I know it, but cheap crisp breadrounds.....Then chose seafood basket which were Iceland quality products...probably 5 in total...more batter than seafood ...the accompanying chips, mushy peas and tartar sauce were equally disappointing...mass produced products from the freezer. On the plus side...when I complained about starter, a pudding option for the 2 course price was offered. I chose the brownie sundae which was ok. All in all, a very disappointing first experience of this restaurant. Won't be rushing back.

I had heard good reviews, but I was slightly disappointed with my lunch. Had Sunday roast platter for two £39.95. Roast potatoes burnt and looked like they had been sitting in roasting dish for ages, turkey dry, beef and ham both nice. I was expecting a much more enjoyable meal. One of our party had a large fish and chips. Not worth the extra, had to sent chips back as they were hard. Had to wait a while to be seated as no welcoming staff even though we had booked. On the bright side, server was lovely.

Beautiful pub with lovely staff. In particular Emma has a great manner with people and provides excellent customer service. We love it here with its gorgeous decor. Enjoyed our meal and see you soon!

Great pub and Restrauant ! Staff member Emma was friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend visiting. Its now becoming a regular location and made loads of lovely new friends

First visit to this beautiful new pub but it wont be out last. Fantastic steaks, beautiful wine and best of all the wondereful service from Danielle who was both attentive, kind and knowledgeable. This was for my birthday celebration and it did not disappoint.

Looking forward to lunch here - sadly spoilt as our order had been forgotten about. Almost an hour from arriving we finally got the mains. Would think twice before returning.

Very disappointed with the food and we were really looking forward to eating there . Paid £78 for two people really not worth the money , The only highlight of the night was Natalie who served us she was absolutely amazing and to be honest that’s why we didn’t send our food back we just paid and left. Sorry service amazing food was awful we won’t be returning or recommending.

I am gutted this was so disappointing, and I am not one for leaving reviews but it cost me £80+ for 2 people and was bloody awful food and poor service :( sorry I took my Mum for a belated Mothers Day meal 11/03/24 table booked for 16:45. We arrived and there was a male worker sorting something at the front entrance, he was very polite and kind, but as we made our way to the bar, the waitress (small in height, blonde hair, chequered pants) was miserable, no smile, hello..nothing. Then we had another waitress come over excessively (short hair, glasses), we had just been seated and were asked almost immediately if we knew what we want to drink and eat. I politely asked for a few minutes but still she came to our table too many times. The blonde waitress brought over somebody elses starter, and when I explained that it wasn't ours, she didn't laugh, apologise, explain...again, nothing from her, it was bizarre. She just grabbed them and walked away. The food was atrocious, my mum had the scampi and chips, the scampi was clearly bought in and cooked from frozen. A Chef would have cleaned the prawns first, they were full of poo. I ordered the chicken, leek and cheddar pie which really wasn't good. It is such a shame that the food doesn't match the decor, the other staff were polite who brought plates out, but 2 ladies who served us are poorly trained and the blonde waitress seemed to not give a damn. It wasn't cheap and at £80+ you'd expect to be full and happy, but we left more than half of the food on the plates Sadly I cannot recommend

Valentine’s Day drive to Heswall for a drink I went past this place I never noticed before and it looked absolutely fantastic from the road at night, u turn and go back this place has a decent car park and upon entering I was very impressed the Brewery have spent a absolute fortune doing this venue. So drinks very good and reasonably priced considering it’s the nice part of the Wirral , venue superb, staff excellent too which makes a big difference. Next time I’ll try the lunches

Great refurbishment but food hit and miss. I had mushroom and pancetta on toast. Found 3 tiny mushrooms and bought in tiny cubes pancetta in what can only be described as sour milk yellow sauce. It was HORRIBLE. Pretty inedible. Companions fared better with their choices . Had similar feedback from friends who are split 50/50 on whether to go back

We visited last night 20 Feb , on arrival we were greeted warmly and taken to our table. Introduced to our server and ordered drinks. We placed our orders, I had a large fish & chips with curry sauce my wife had the skin on chicken. Both meals arrived hot and looking good. The meals were both delicious and great value for the price. The inside of the premises is very nice and decorated to a high standard,we will certainly return. I would highly recommend this establishment.

Our friends were most keen to revisit having previously visited twice, however, we approached the visit with some unease having read recent (mixed) reviews. There was no need.... in our opinion tonight's visit was excellent. Service, starters, mains and deserts were received with glowing praise. Personally, we felt the decor, surroundings and atmosphere most impressive. Our party of five all went home more than satisfied.

Popped in again looking for a snack, we didn't want a big meal so we made up a tapas like snack board from the sides and small plates menus. It was enough and tasted great with all the sauces that comes with each plate. Service was again excellent and we were looked after well, we had another drink due to the rain then left well fed and watered.......we will be back, thanks.

I think is all a little bit 'meh'! Disappointed that they didn't make the most of building being a police station; more emphasis ought to have been a nod to the past use of the building. Food was so, so, as was the choice of drinks Wnt with my Mum who's been vegan for over 40 years, she was very disappointed with the lack of offerings for her . As for the naming of the new pub, I feel like they've missed a trick there, they've tried to be too smart and it's hardly catchy is it? Personally I think 'The Cop Shop' or similar would've been more familiar. I'm not planning to go back unless it was part of a pub crawl around Heswall. Its a shame, an opportunity missed in my eyes, especially considering the sheer amount of £££ that's been thrown at the place!

My wife took me here for lunch and the place was lovely inside. Lovely log fire and the staff and food was lovely and good value for money. Hoping she will take me again soon as I loved the relaxing atmosphere as well.

This place was totally new to us, and we were really impressed with the interiors, modern, classy but cozy. We had the fish and chips and it was lovely with a generous portion size too. The cost was reasonable and we look forward to dining here again, perhaps of an evening.

We had a family 'special birthday' evening meal. Food was excellent. We were a party of 14 and all our meals were served at the same time. Staff were friendly and efficient. Our waitress, Natalie, was amazing. We'll certainly be returning!

As a pub this place is great but the food is really expensive and really poor. My advice is get rid of the microwave and just maybe the food will improve. Staff are attentive however so let’s hope the kitchen starts to take a bit more care in what it serves

Excellent lunch and good value. Service by Rachael K was spot-on. Building well fitted and decorated. Car park a bit small and you are lucky to get a space.

If I’d wanted food straight from the freezer I would have stayed at home! We paid £70 for supermarket scampi and chips straight out of the freezer, sticky toffee pudding that had been overcooked in the microwave and was rock hard and cheese & biscuits (£9:50) that had a few tiny slices of cheese with it. It’s a shame because we came on the opening night and the food was amazing. On the plus side our waitress was lovely

Enjoyed a dinner here with family of four adults. Chose garlic bread and pork scratching starters. Main course took over an hour from ordering. I chose yummy large plate of bacon steak, mushroom, tomato, pineapple, egg & chips. Two chose skin on chicken, with cauliflower...

Our first visit, but definitely not our last. Food was amazing, we had the Black Pudding Bon Bons and the whipped Feta to start followed by the Burger and Fish and Chips. Our desserts were delicious too......must mention our fantastic waitress Natalie who looked after...

Wow!! Loved this place, great atmosphere, beautiful decor (the ladies toilets are something else!!) Very tasty, fairly priced food. All brought together by excellent service.,We found Danielle, helpful, polite & friendly whilst remaining professional. Well done to everyone involved.

Absolutely great service, thank you Kerry! Food and drinks came to the table in no time. The food was gorgeous! We will definitely be back!

Visited on a Friday evening and it was really busy, despite this the staff were friendly and very attentive. The decor is lovely and the place has a nice atmosphere. We didn't have to wait long and the food was good, I had fish and...

Sunday roast Honestly the loveliest food and staff lucy was amazing will definitely be coming again the food alone is fantastic xxx

Decided to try this place an wish I hadn’t food was greasy an to be honest very bland in taste I found the staff very rude not helpful at all wen speaking to the manager she was very passive aggressive in helpful an quite frankly...

Really enjoyed our roast dinner, we got the platter which was delicious and hot and plenty of food. Special mention to our waitress who was very accommodating.

On Saturday the 23rd of December at 5pm, my husband & with our good friend Avril, went to the Harry Beswick for our Christmas Dinner. 🎄 🍽 it was absolutely amazing! The food was outstanding! The staff are incredible! Especially Natalie! Thanks so very much...

Visited for lunch today, lovely decor but that’s as far as it goes for good points. Should be ashamed serving what we received. Carvery sandwich which looked and tasted like it was created by a child. Stale bread. No butter, no extras just 2 anaemic...

Had scampi and chips and a chicken wrap for lunch. Both okay, but no more than that. Service was very quick although not overly friendly. Coffee was decent. Decor is good. I thought the menu was unimaginative. An average experience and I’m unlikely to bother...

The food was okay but the service was not the best! Would not rush back. Tip...ask for your bill at the first opportunity or no one will come back!

Very nice ambiance and the decor was lovely but the food didn’t match to the experience, starter was nice but the main course was small and plain, tiny bit of fish with a few tiny potatoes and a couple of bits of broccoli thrown in....

Firstly the pub itself is lovely, but the food wasn’t. Family of 3 adults who all had a main meal but it wasn’t the best , cheap ingredients or they need a better chef. Steak & ale pie with a very thin pastry crust on...

I had my circuits Christmas meal last night, 20 of us, and it was very good,Danielle looked after us , and it could not have gone better. Super impressed with the staff, and the refit, will return

Visited with friends after seeing renovation. Firstly the building is beautiful. A really lovely interior and loved the layout of the bar/dining areas. Our server was Rachel and she was amazing. Attentive and confident enough to recommend cheese pie she liked and we went ahead and tried it and it was gorgeous. She took such good care of us and felt the meal was well paced! Shared Halloumi fries and Hummous. The Hummous with caramelised onion and sultana is the nicest I have ever tasted! We enjoyed huge haddock and chips, cheese & onion pie and beef pie! All lovely but probably would say the pie portion/veg/mash not the biggest portions. We ordered coffees with small dessert which ironically were not small! All devine and all in all we all left after enjoying lovely food! Good staff make a huge part of dining out and we appreciated excellent customer service here from the minute we sat down. Good luck for this beautiful restaurant - so much competition with the likes of The Fox & Hounds and other lovely local eateries! Hope it succeeds!

Driven past many times since opening and thought venue looks great, a lot of money has been spent on the renovation from old police station. Went for lunch with friends today ….. decor is nice and there are plenty of seating areas. It was quiet so very little atmosphere but I’m sure evenings are better. I had steak pie with chips and veg. What a disappointment…..the pie was average at best and meat chewy, chips anaemic looking and undercooked, broccoli was limp and soggy. It was not worth £16 or even half that amount. I left feeling like the place is a “wanna be” Jug & Bottle or Red Fox but it’s nowhere near that standard. I am sad to leave such a poor review and I do wish them well for the future but this site is built on honest opinions and that’s mine.

Food was absolutely beautiful … 10/10 cooked by chef Nick ! Fabulous and friendly service from Lucy aswell. Would highly recommend!

Visited for first time last night.The pub is so cosy and a lovely modern country style pub has a lovely fire.It is very busy so we had to book in advance to eat and can see why the food is outstanding piping hot well presented and tasty.The staff are so friendly.Will definitely be back and highly recommend it.

My friend and I met for an early evening meal and my friend had a 20% discount for booking online. The decor is very nice and the staff were all efficient and friendly. We both had the pork and leak sausages with whole grain mustard mash, gravy and peas. The sausages, mash and gravy were very nice however the peas were like bullets. The waitress asked how our main course had been and we let her know about the peas. We both chose the mini chocolate brownie with coffee for afters. The brownie had been heated so it was quite soft and the usually crisp wafer stick had obviously also been warmed as it was soft and floppy. The vanilla ice cream was fine and the brownie had a good taste. We had decaffeinated cappuccinos and they were tasty and hot. The table we were on was next to the central walkway and my friend said she felt “on show”. It was very busy despite us booking our table for 5:30pm. I imagine a lot of people are using the 20% discount to try it out. Some of the prices seem quite high but there are cheaper options available. Don’t bother trying to park in the car park as there aren’t that many spaces and even at 5:30pm they were all taken.

The Harry Beswick is a really excellent addition to the restaurant and bar scene in Heswall. We have visited twice now, both times for a late mid-afternoon lunch, and on both occasions have thoroughly enjoyed experience. They have a very good choice of reasonably priced sandwiches and we thoroughly enjoyed the crispy chicken wrap and the prawn cocktail sandwich, each with a tasty side salad, and we chose a side of fries to share. The staff were all friendly, attentive and efficient, and the ambience of the Harry Beswick is warm and inviting. It is great to see the old Heswall Police Station so sympathetically transformed into a stylish pub / restaurant. I am sure that the Harry Beswick will become a regular for us, and we plan to visit again soon for an evening meal.

Really enjoyed lunch at The Harry Beswick. Good choice and food tasted great. 20% off mains if you sign up on Web. Staff friendly and attentive. Had Burger and fries and partner had Haddock, both excellent. Definitely worth a visit.

We were looking forward to trying out this new pub,but were somewhat disappointed with the food. A long wait for the food to arrive from the kitchen. The starter was lovely, but we waited another half an hour for the mains, and were about to ask how long it might take, when it arrived. Just a simple meal of meat/potato pie with chips and peas shouldn't be too difficult.The slice of pie was extremely small, the chips and peas cold! After complaining about the portion size, another slice of pie was brought, along with another dish of peas. Granted, we were given a discount on the main meal,but we would have preferred our meal to be hot!! On the plus side, the surroundings are lovely, and our waitress pleasant.

Nice interior but one of the worst meals I’ve had in a very long time. Decided to try the new local on a whim with some friends. We all ordered a steak ciabatta, which on paper sounded amazing, and I also had some chicken wings. Waitress asked if we wanted the steak pink or well done, we all chose pink, little did we know, pink is the new black. The ‘blue cheese’ tasted like plastic sliced cheese. The wings were the worst part. Claimed to be buffalo, but had no flavour. Luke warm on the outside, refrigerator cold on the inside. I never ever send food back but there was no way I’d eat that. Sent it all back, when it came back the steak was even darker and chewier, but we conceded and realised this wasn’t a battle we could win. The wings on the other hand were ironically boiling, as if they spent 5 minutes in the microwave. The waitress did check if everything was okay with the food… “now.” Hopefully it’s just teething problems because the inside looks lovely, and a lot of works gone into making it nice. The staff would also benefit from more training, and less talking around the bar.

Great addition to Heswall. Fabulous interior and a fantastic homage to its former building. Extremely attentive, friendly staff and the best roast dinner I’ve eaten in a long time. I would highly recommend.

The property is very nice inside which you’d expect. We arrived mid afternoon so wasn’t too busy were seated and drinks order taken which was a good start. Waitress was quick to take our food order. We ordered 3 nibbles as a starter to share which came out worryingly quickly. The salt and pepper fries were very nice, spam fritters were ok and the panko chicken was horrible. Over cooked and under seasoned and was tasteless and chewy. My wife ordered a chicken burger I had duo of pork which then took an hour after starter to arrive. I wish it didn’t arrive. The pork was over cooked and fat under rendered which was foul as it was chewy. The flavours were nice but the cooking on the meat was terrible. Again chewy. My wife’s chicken burger was over cooked and resembled a flip flop. She left over half of it. She was still hungry so ordered a creme brûlée dessert and laughed and said surely this should be ok. Well it wasn’t, it came in a watery syrup which made the creme brûlée melt into a slop after breaking into it. By this point the waitress had stopped coming to take drinks orders and I had to go to the bar to get her and her sister a drink as she came to meet us. The restaurant was getting busier by this point. It’s a shame because the menu is really good and we looked forward to going back to try some of the food but I won’t be going back until I hear of good things. The cooking of the meat or the meat quality is really poor. I understand it’s new but if the head chef made that then there’s an issue or if it was a trainee chef then they need more training.

Not impressed, nice staff and surroundings but the food is not as good as you would expect, not the best.

A great night out in a beautiful new pub An evening meal in the new Harry Beswick pub was a great experience. The decor and atmosphere was fantastic, great food and drink served expertly by lovely friendly staff. Would definitely return regularly and recommend this to anyone, well worth a visit.

Had a lovely lunch at this new pub / restaurant today. Lovely fish and chips with crispy batter and succulent fish. My wife had the scampi which was equally good. Followed by coffee with mini blackberry and apple crumble pudding which was just the right portion. Excellent service from the staff. Good value for money. Will definitely visit again.

Disappointing food, I have dietary requirements on booking was reassured that this would be accommodated. . Nothing offered to me other than take all sauce and gravy away given a plain piece of fish no alternative offered this was served with undercooked frozen chips, clearly food is is not prepared to order. Staff lovely and helpful. Will not return.

I am always nervous when people tell me to try the “New” Pub . We visited the “New” Harry Beswick and were not disappointed it was just fantastic. The look and the feel of the pub is just fabulous with a really cool food area and a great bar if you just want a drink. I bet the outside seating will be packed in the Summer i think you could sit there and watch the World go by. Lovely fit out and my Wife says the very best Ladies Toilets she has seen outside of London. Food was lovely as was the service and a nice set of beers available. Yes it was really busy but we did not feel rushed at all and the lovely Staff made the visit seem we were appreciated. Thank you, well done and good luck

I wondered how a refit could cost so much, but wow money well spent, blown away by the decor, an old police station has been revamped into a stylish eatery. Already booked to to return for a Christmas meal in December.

To be honest we left slightly disappointed, we eat out a lot in Heswall and we were all looking forward to seeing this place open as we feel Heswall needed something new. The place inside is lovely, I really like what they have done with the place, it’s got a very cosy vibe to it. The staff were very friendly and attentive s I cannot fault them. Unfortunately the food let it down it was very mediocre, the steak pie wasn’t the best some tender meat but lots of fatty meat too, the vegetables had been completely overcooked. The burgers were those cheap ones so they didn’t go down well, we were expecting more of a high end steak burger. Our party of 6 also tried the fish and chips and the meatballs and again nothing to rave over. It was really busy which is great to see and the Guinness was lovely, I just feel if you have invested over 3 million pounds the food would be a lot more like Gastro pub food, not what they are currently serving. I really hope they look at changing the menu and source better ingredients. I feel Heswall needs a high end gastro pub and I was hoping this was going to be it but unfortunately we left disappointed.

Went for a late night dinner with no reservation last minute was seated quickly the interior design was absolutely incredible food was lovely too all staff were very nice be especially the manager paddy who was very kind and looked after us beautifully will return !

Our first visit to this newly opened Restaurant/pub. They have spent a huge amount on creating a very spacious feel and open aspect of the eating area as you enter the place. The staff were all well-trained, friendly, and enthusiastic. The food was similar to...
