We stayed here recently it is such a friendly hotel. Breakfast was superb and nothing was too much trouble. From when we arrived to when we left (2 nights) we were looked after, a young man helped carry our bags and helped us up to our room too. The breakfast was full of choice and they even went the extra mile when my partner was a little ‘cheeky’ haha. We will defo be booking again. Perfect location, perfect room, good night sleep etc....Thanks so much Boey (the tattooed one) and Nadine

Was also impressed with their organisation, it gave us confidence that they had everything in hand so we didn't have to worry about things going wrong. All in all we had a fantastic reception here and I'd recommend anyone looking for somewhere to hold a similar event to check this place out.

We decided on a short break in Southport after seeing the Metro offering a deal on Groupon. What we didn’t expect that when we are the so called deal was the normal rate. Upsides were a comfortable clean bedroom; downsides no long term parking close by, though could park in the street at a pay and display overnight; we booked bed and breakfast assuming breakfast was a hot breakfast, no it was a continental cold breakfast - very disappointing, noise from the bar could be heard in our room. Overall it was ok for an overnight but that’s it for us.

I live just around the corner from The Metro Hotel Bar and Restaurant and have enjoyed many sunny afternoons having drinks with friends. We eat out often and could not believe that when we asked about menus we were told they do not serve food! How can it be classed as a bar and restaurant if they have nothing to eat! What a waste as it is newly refurbished hotel with a lovely outdoor area but when you get hungry you have to leave and take your patronage elsewhere. It seems such a shame to spend a lot of money on signage advertising "Food served all day" when it isn't. Come on manager sort it out even if is just some sandwiches and a bowl of chips!

I regularly pass this bar and whenever I do its outside drinking area is invariably packed.

My wife and I visited for afternoon tea courtesy of a Groupon voucher. We received a warm welcome and sat down for our tea. The hotel is tastefully decorated. It wasn't long before our tea arrived. We received a good selection of sandwiches but the cheese and tomato were disappointing as processed cheese was used rather than fresh grated cheese. The size of the sandwiches was small but tasty. The scones were a bit disappointing as we expected home made scones but at least they were nicely warmed. Also the chocolate muffin was cut in half as was the battenburg. So it was ok but could be a lot better with a bit more attention to detail and presentation.

We were very much looking forward to our mother daughter afternoon tea at The Metro but we were disappointed to find that the quality was far beneath previous experiences here. The cakes seemed like the ones you would get from Iceland and were clearly recently defrosted. One of the cakes was cut in half so we got half each. Very surprised. When we commented to the waiter he stated that it wasn't advertised anywhere that the cakes were homemade and he proceeded to mush up the chocolate slice at the table that we had complained about as it was still a bit frozen. Very strange experience and not what we had hoped for at all. Would not recommend a visit for an afternoon tea!

We went here on a Groupon voucher. Our prosecco came quickly and was cold and bubbly, just as it should be. The afternoon tea came within about 3 minutes and consisted of 4 tuna, cheese, salmon & chicken sandwiches. The bread was cold and a bit hard, like it had been made hours before and had been left in the fridge. The sandwiches were made with poor ingredients, the cheese for example was completely tasteless. The cakes were a scone, a bakewell slice, a mini chocolate eclair and cheesecake. These were all shop bought and very much like you'd expect from Iceland's frozen party range. The coffee was filter coffee but when we finished we didn't get offered another cup.The whole thing was a bit rubbish, and as afternoon tea is supposed to be a special affair, it was miles away from hitting the mark unfortunately.

My family, a party of 5 and I went to the Metro for our Christmas lunch and although expensive we all enjoyed it. We also booked for three of us, myself, sister and brother in law to return on New Year's Eve and paid up front total £165. Unfortunately, my sister who is wheelchair bound and a cancer patient had a fall and was unable to attend. I called in the Metro on Monday 28th Dec to unfortunately cancel our booking and was told I would get a phone call from the owner the next day to discuss a refund. Although we expected to loose the £30 deposit we never expected to loose the full amount as we were told they had already ordered the food and couldn't refund any money. As this was exceptional circumstances, I thought they would have met us half way and offered something but no not a bean. I was asked if I could come in without my sister whom I am also her carer or could I give it to someone else. So disappointed with this outcome and feel they could have made a good will gesture by offering something but alas no, we will never visit there again

There is a lovely courtyard for sunny days, but sadly, they do not allow dogs in the courtyard. As there are very few dog friendly places close to the centre of Southport, we only eat here in the evening when we do not take the dogs. This restaurant is close to our locally run dog friendly B & B and it would be lovely to allow dogs in the courtyard.The food is excellent quality and varied.

The wife and I stopped here for a spur of the moment lunch one Friday afternoon. The sun was blazing so we decided to dine al fresco. We both had the Panko Tiger Prawns with garlic, chilli and soy dip. They were so crispy and succulent. The dip was lovely too. Next we chose Haddock and chips with mushy peas and I had the Salmon salad with roast garlic and thyme dressing. Both meals were extremely tasty. It was simple food presented simply and cooked to perfection. All in all a really delightful lunch. The staff were very welcoming and polite especially Linda behind the bar. We didn't wait long for our food. Everything was clean and tidy. The prices were fair too. Our food was the earlybird offer. £20 total. (£10 each) Extremely good value.Somewhere we would visit again.

I found the Metro in Southport on Groupon. Desperately needing a break I booked the 2nights for £99 which included a double room, breakfast each morning AND afternoon tea on the day of you're choice. On arrival we paid another £69 for an extra night. Lovely smell as soon as we walked in. Nice bar & restaurant. Friendly staff. Small but clean well decorated room overlooking the garden. The continental breakfast was ample & served with tea, coffee or help yourself to the milk & fresh apple & orange juice. The hotel is in town, but down a quiet street, just past the Market Hall, & a few minutes walk to Lord Street with all the shops, cafes, bars etc. The hotel is actually behind The Prince of Wales Hotel on the corner of Portland Street. We didn't use the car till the day we were coming home. However parking around the area is Pay & Display! Leave the car there for as long as you like IF you are a Blue Badge Holder! Just one problem we & other couples agreed on. The beds have mattresses on with springs, & we felt them, maybe we've just got use to our 3000 sprung with memory foam mattress. Let us know how you got on if you decide to go there. We would definitely go again, it is so convenient for everything. And if you like dining at the Hungry Monk it is just up the street, cross over the main road & into the Cambridge Walks building. We go every time we are in Southport, & the Tea Rose Cafe at the top of Lord Street just past the Bold Hotel.

As I was staying at Vale House for the Flower Show, I wanted somewhere close by for a small evening meal. The Metro seemed to tick the boxes. On arrival it seemed very smart and I got a glass of wine whilst having a look through the All Day Menu. Opting for something light, I went for a small portion of the Thai mussels and I asked for some bread to mop up all the lovely sauce............When my mussels arrived they were cold and dry not steaming and saucy as I had anticipated. Obviously not happy with this I sent them back and a few moments later received attempt to. These were piping hot however there was no sauce in sight which actually was not a problem as the bread had been left under the heat lamp and was inedible. As no-one came to see me to ask if everything was ok, I decided to eat the mussels and the 11 mussels which were actually in the bowl were quite tasty although sparce. The waiter who collected my plate saw the problem witht the bread and offered me a complimentary drink to compensate which was a nice gesture although I am still not sure how anyone can get mussels so wrong. The best bit about a steaming hot bowl of mussels is the yummy sauce and dry mussels are just well, bland. Maybe I ordered wrong however I will never know as I do not plan to return. Maybe I should have complained a second time but that felt rude. Maybe thats the way the dish is meant to be

Went here for lunch with friends. The staff were very welcoming and the prices reasonable, there were also some real ales which made for a good start. We had the £11.95 2 course set lunch. For starter I had fishcake and it was ONE fishcake (not too big) 3 of us had lambs liver which the waiter said would be pink but they were over done and I'm not sure if mine were lamb's as the had the texture of pig's livers. Overall though it was a pleasant dining experience and we would go back.Service was excellent.

Went to the The Metro on a Groupon offer for afternoon tea. A lovely place, very clean and modern and the staff were extremely helpful and very polite. The afternoon tea was sufficient, but the only criticism myself and friends have is, it would have been nice to have had our own teapot and hot water. We were not comfortable having to ask for a refill in our tea cups. We would go back as it is a lovely place. Thank you to all the staff

My friend and I shared a lovely afternoon tea at the Metro recently. The sandwiches were fresh and plentiful. The cakes divine! It was very pleasant sitting in the courtyard in the sunshine listening to the fountain. We used a Groupon deal for the first time and so it was exceptional value for money. However, we enjoyed it so much, we'll be going back next month.

This was the third time I have visited this restaurant since it was revamped and havenever been disappointed. As a relative was visiting, on this occasion we went in theearly evening and had the three course meal. You could not fault the food or the cost,which was value for money. The service was attentive but not intrusive and Jane ourwaitress was very friendly and welcoming. although the restaurant was not full it stillhad a pleasant atmosphere.

I have been walking past this hotel from the very start of the successful renovation and like many others i tend to frequent the from beer garden on a sunny day as it is a lovely sun trap. Until a few months ago unfortunately i felt as though the place was on a slight decline with regards to the exterior apperience and the quality in the food. I can not having again frequented this establishment on thursday confirm that my faith has been restored. The once blanked weed ridden pond has now been scrubbed to display it amazing white features, and although the water is still a bit murky i am sure this is due to the scrubbing and will resolve shortly.The food quality for some time has felt as thought it was depleting, especially over the past few years however whatever has been happening over the past few months has certainly made a difference. The food is again exquisite and the service felt approachable with the staff seeming happy and in a healthy work environment. I saw and spoke to youngish looking gentleman walking round in blue suit pants and blue tie, which seemed to differ to the rest of the staff however his general approach seemed a lot more personal and inter mate with the staff and a few customers i can only assume are regulars. He seemed to be ensuring all staff members were okay and even checked on ourselves with a smile and asking how we were and took the time to see what we had been up to during the day. Again i spoke to an elderly gentleman behind the bar who was very accommodating and reassured us with his knowledge of the wines as well as the other male seemed genuinely interested in us and how we were enjoying our experience.The staff are a credit to the place and i can only assume this is due to the environment that the senior management have cultivated them in. For such a homely experience from all staff, both different ages and only what i can assume different job roles I can 100% assure anyone you will not be disappointed.

I bought an afternoon tea here and was extremely pleasantly surprised. I wasn't sure what to expect when booking it but it was possibly the best one iv had, which is saying a lot. It was great value for money, the food was excellent and the staff were really friendly and couldn't do enough for us. I will definitely be going back here for another afternoon tea and to try the food as it also looked of a very high quality! The atmosphere and decor was also very nice, overall a great experience.

We stayed here on a deal linked to the Portland Hall Spa. First the bad stuff - no car park. that's it, there is absolutely nothing I could criticise about the staff, food, hotel room or location.We had bar snacks in the afternoon in the lovely seating area outside the hotel. Everything is very reasonable.The rooms are very modern, bathroom gorgeous and there is plenty of space too.The location is approx. 2 mins walk to Lord street for all the other bars and restaurants. Plus only 5 mins walk to the train station which we used instead of messing around trying to park.Will definitely be back to try their afternoon tea and stay over again :)

.We came here this afternoon with a voucher for afternoon tea, and very impressed I was. The Metro is lovely inside very modern and well laid out, our afternoon tea was one of the best I have had, served with tea or coffee beautiful sandwiches and an assortment of cakes, the tables were well spaced out. The staff were very nice, the toilets were clean with soap and hand cream. They have an extension where a wedding party had just arrived so seemed to be a busy place. although it was really chilly there was a delightful garden at the front with a water feature and also an outside bar and massive barbaque which I am sure would be very popular on a nice summer evening. The menu looks good and prices very reasonable, I would definateley recommend this restaurant. Easy to find just behind Prince of Wales Hotel

Visited the Metro as a Group from a local Retirement Complex for Afternoon Tea, we were greeted on arrival by professional, friendly staff and shown to a lovely table all ready prepared. The service was excellent, We were served a lovely selection of fresh sandwiches along with an assortment of scones & cakes and a choice of Tea or Coffee.The restaurant area was quite busy but the staff were constantly on hand to assist in any way possible. Tea and coffee was readily topped up.It was a very pleasant experience and I would highly recommend the Metro to others.

My Mum had purchased a Groupon voucher for 4 of us to end our stay in Southport with an afternoon tea. Prior to our visit, she had contacted The Metro about their location and parking and was helpfully advised that there would be no problems. We discovered it was close enough for us to walk, so did.Upon arrival, the Manager, I think, greeted us personally, knowing exactly who we were and showed us to our table in the window. I had to visit the ladies, which were clean, high standard and with easy access for people with disabilities.The afternoon tea arrived, presented beautifully. Mum paid extra for us to have a glass of Prosecco each and our coffees were refilled without question. Despite there being no choice of sandwich or cake, we were happy to discover that the sandwiches were more than adequate, all delicious ( yes, even the ham and English mustard, that we don't normally like!)The cakes and scone were also very tasty and we were all suitably stuffed and content, taking a napkin with some sandwiches and cakes with us!We would visit again and pay full price without a thought and would highly recommend a visit if you get the chance!

Just walked in on the off chance to ask if they had a table for me and my girlfriend. We got told we had to wait half hour, and I'm so glad we did because we experienced an amazing night with great surroundings and great staff with even better food. I was blown away by the blue cheese sauce with the fillet steak, and was asked personally by the owner if we had a nice night. We told her we had such a great night that we were going to write a review so here we go.....Perfect all round and thankyou for a great night!

On first walking in the Metro it was very modern and clean. We were shown to our table which was on a raised area with 4 tables. There was alread a party of 4 sat down and we were sat right next to them, we would have prefered to be seated on a table that was not right next to them as that we all did not feel as though we had to whisper. The afternoon tea consisted of 4 quater sandwiches each with crusts cut off (no choice given) 4 small cakes/bisciuts (ginger cake and 2 small coin sized shortbread held together by a teaspoon of cream and a thin slice of strawberry). 2 scones with small pot of cream (no enough between 2 ) and a small pot of Jam. Fizz was nice (125mm) and then 1 small cup coffee. We went on a wowcher deal but felt it was not worth the money

Valentine's dinner was not only a fabulous menu and reasonable but the decor was tasteful and romantic with a rose for every lady thrown in. This is quite usual for the Metro from lunches to events and dinner you can not go wrong, and the staff are friendly and helpful too.

We had the dessert platter to share which was huge and included sticky toffee pud, creme brule , choc fondant , cheesecake and ice cream.
