The Ink In The Well in Liverpool

Gran servicio, personal amable. Murciélagos de comida encima de un pub de cadena. Si tienes un perro, te traen agua, manta y golosinas. Precioso espacio al aire libre (si el tiempo lo permite) Definitivamente volveré.

We ordered the fish and chips and a sharing board. Most was tasty but some aspects lacked. The falafel was dry and chalky and chips were lukewarm. However, friendly staff and lovely decor.

The Ink in the Well is is a nice and clean, if a little gloomy. The food is hit and miss - we have been a couple of times but the menu is a little inconsistent and some of the dishes don't feel like good value. The major issue which lets the restaurant down massively is that it serves food but has a pongy scented candle on each table, that makes each mouthful carry a slight taste of floral wax. I would not eat there again, not until the candles are removed.

Just moved to Liverpool with a young family. This place was ace. Friendly staff. Good beer. Excellent food. Easy going. Outside space great, inside some lovely areas. Helpful staff with the kids, music and feeling if the place was perfect for lazy sunny afternoon afternoon. Best place we’ve been so far.

What a great find - a relaxed atmosphere, and friendly staff - we were amiably and thoughtfully steered-through the wine list by the pleasant and helpful young duty manager. Food choices are varied yet not overwhelming, all our food was fresh and tasty . We’ll definitely be coming back soon for some more of those interesting wine suggestions :)

We came here for a birthday meal. First of all the staff were very polite, however there were a pile of mistakes and strange practices. Such as, the kitchen not briefing the front of house on the availability of the dishes, one of the waitresses making a mistake with the order, but I got the impression she tried to make sure the other staff got things right. Although that did not happen, as when serving they brought two portions of the Salmon starter when only one was ordered. No urgency on the drinks, the drinks sat on the tray at the bar while two staff members were talking for 5 mins. We had to get cutlery and replacements ourselves, The Fish and Chips were ordered for around 4 portions, only 1 was available. The birthday cake was brought but one of our party had had to speak to them 3 times about it. They said they needed to cut it, ok I understand that may be for Health and Safety. But afterwards when it wasn't segmented well, there were no cutlery for it. Also, what kind of establishment only serves ice cream for children. There was a huge wait on the food and one child was hungry and her blood sugar was low. The food was mediocre and to charge £5 for 3 prawns with half the meat missing, a rip off. There is no effective management structure, one of our party heard another couple next to us decide to leave due to the atmosphere which was noisy and when we asked of it to be lowered they said they would but it wasn't, I couldn't hear the person next to me. Apparently the worst thing is that according to my mum, the womens' toilet wasfully blocked! Also, in regards to the music, the DJs speakers backfired twice! We were told it was a table breaking. Don't lie! One memeber of our party held her fingers to her head as if they were a gun and pulled the trigger.

I’ve been here a few time and have loved the food, relaxed vibe and great music. My last visit in March was chaotic. The main issue was sometime after 8 a really noisy DJ came on. Why? He was just playing similar great tunes to the bar? Are you a cool restaurant/bar or just a noisy bar?

Out walking and went to this restaurant for lunch. We had a party of six but that was not a problem with the staff. Great atmosphere and great food. We were looked after by two young ladies, one had dark hair and glasses while the other had fair hair. I am so sorry that I have lost their names. Both were so attentive and friendly during our meal. They are great ambassadors for the company. Will be back for sure.

went for a meal with a friend to celebrate my 21st and honestly has been the best sit down meal I've had in years, everything was perfect even down to the cheeseboard, which I've gotta say has plenty more options available than most of what you see out there. Even down to their wonderful pickles! had the braised pork for a starter and the lamb for my main and couldn't ask for anything more, my friend also equally enjoyed her pea fritters and falafel burger, which I also tried and can confirm to be absolutely delicious, and to top it off the people that attended to us where incredibly polite, personable and made sure everything was alright. and to note, they had a lovely set of cask ales available at the time of my visit. 10/10

First time visitor and it certainly won’t be the last. Being vegan, we so often feel like a second thought, but it definitely didn’t feel like tonight. Every option from starter to dessert was sooooo scrumptious. The atmosphere was chilled, staff really friendly and attentive. I will defo be back again. Thanks, Lou, Jo and Pippa. x

Excellent quality food. Highley recommended, fish&chips. Beer battered. Homemade chunky chips. Pea fritter. Nice. Lovely ambiance, woodburner. Romantic, homely atmosphere. Friendly staff. Hidden gem of lark lane Nice selection of cocktails, wines&camden larger.

Fantastic Sunday roast and lovely IPA on draught, couldn’t ask for anymore. Kids menu was fab and the service was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.

The food in here is amazing especially the granola the customer service is spot on I couldn't fault on of the staff I spoke to the granola was lovely. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to eat in that area.

Really excellent range of unusual cocktails, small plates and very friendly staff. We got to book a table on a Saturday evening a few hours before we arrived, when most other places were booked up and weren't sure what to expect. Very pleasantly surprised by the ambiance and the quality of the food. Would definitely visit again.

I only have lovely things to say about Ink in the Well!! Friendly staff, amazing cocktails, the food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was relaxed and lovely. Will be coming back again soon!

Standing in the door way for 20 minutes waiting to be seated should’ve told us what the night was going to be like , Drinks arrived 30 minutes later , the service was slow , other diners had already started to complain and one couple left without waiting for there mains , half of our party received there food whilst the rest of us waited at least another 10 mins for our food to arrive , it really wasn’t worth the wait , the order was wrong and the duck was so tough it was barely edible , even though we had the table for the night we decided to go elsewhere to celebrate New Year’s Eve , I definitely won’t be returning and the £290 bill was the final insult

It was a lovely relaxing atmosphere on a Sunday afternoon, cocktails hand crafted to what we wanted and wonderful chat from the staff. Can't wait to go back and visit!

Fantastic service and lovely staff and great food ...I would definitely recommend this place .I've eaten in this establishment on various occasions and have never been disappointed ever. It's such a welcoming place and situated in a perfect lane.

Disappointing.. music way too loud. Asked for it to be turned down.. apparently the “manager likes it loud” 🤔 Not good value at all. The plate was half covered by a “funky” pan of baked beans.. and there wasn’t enough room for anything else. One...

Our group of 7 ate quite late, so some chose small plates and others larger main meals. All dishes were delicious and we were offered a good range of drinks. Atmosphere was lovely! There was only one server upstairs, who was clearly rushed off her...

I’m really disappointed to have to write this review because I’ve been a couple times & it’s usually been great, but this Sunday morning - it was absolutely terrible & it’s put me off from ever coming again. We arrived at 11:30 - waited at...

Love this place - came in the summer and had a 5* breakfast. Was so good I told everyone about it. Went again 2 last week and the menu had changed. I explained what I had and they said no problem but you need to...

Went to this restaurant for lunch a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed the food and service. So much so we booked for my birthday dinner. The menu advertised on the website is not the menu available in the restaurant, so that was disappointing...

I visited here today, 4 Sep, just after 11am for brunch with a friend. I asked if the bacon on the breakfast sandwich was back bacon or streaky bacon. I said if streaky bacon I would choose something else. The guy assured me it was...

I have been wanting to try Ink in the Well for a while and finally got around to it! The wine selection is fab, I had an orange wine and my friend the Gruner Veltliner both of which were lovely. We sat outside and had...

We came here on Father's Day, as recommended by a friend. It did not disappoint. We came back to see if it just as good a second time, and without a fixed menu &. I can honestly say it was even better. The atmosphere is...

Decor was great. Staff friendly. Service was shocking, asked 3 times for water, waited ages for food, waited for sauces, waited again for salt and pepper, waited again as no butter supplied for toast. They got the bill wrong, (£20 over). Shame really because the...

Dipped in to have lunch on a slow tuesday based on a recommendation by some friends. Have to say it was very disappointing. It's a lovely space, and we were greeted warmly by the lady behind the bar so we got stuck in to a...

Thought we would give this new restaurant a try, we were not disappointed! Had drinks outside first, fabulous cocktails. Then went inside for our meal. So nice to have something different, lots of interesting new things to try. Our waiter was amazing, explained all the...

Staff are great, cocktails delicious and the veggie options are extensive! I would recommend the lentil lasagne and the crispy brussel sprouts.

Tried this place for the first and generally very impressed. Staff were friendly, helpful and very efficient. Food is small plates which are good portions and in most cases really good quality. The burger amazingly is possibly the star of the show here an absolute...

We have visited Ink in the well for brunch several times. The vegan breakfast is amazing especially the sprouts! This evening we had the french onion soup and tuna tacos 🌮 absolutely gorgeous, accompanied by a glass of 🍷. Highly recommended 😀

Visited opening week, the sharing plate banquet was extremely delicious. Friendly staff who know the menu & drinks very on detail
