Didn’t realise it was Burns Night but they had an additional specials menu on and two of us tried it. OMG! The food was amazing, full of flavour and perfectly cooked. Excellent service too. We had a lovely evening and will definitely go back very soon.

Fantastic local pub in the lovely village of Willaston! As a local and semi regular visitor, the Staff are always friendly and helpful. Great selection of drinks including beers from local breweries and a variety of guest ales. Food is also great, but be sure to get there early on a Sunday if you want a roast as they are popular and can sell out! There are dog friendly areas to the pub and a supply of treats on the bar!

This was truly a five star lunch! I had the Christmas turkey roast, with all the trimmings, but special touches too… sprouts down differently to any I’d had before and the carrot and turnip too. Truly a unique and very tasty Christmas lunch, the portion sizes were huge too. The staff were friendly, helpful and polite, even though they were very busy. I’d suggest you book if you’re thinking of going, to avoid disappointment!

Visited during lunch time so it was a little quieter but I am told its not always so quiet. Ordered the homemade pie and oh my lord...it was the best pie I had eaten in a very long time! Even the chunky chips came in to mop the sauce out of the dish. We had put this place on our list to try out because of a few pictures we saw and it didn't disappoint. So much so, we had booked for the following week so have that to come!

6/12/23 . 2pm .. Popped in for a quick drink on the way home with no real intention of anything else . Took a look at the menu though and we decided we were hungry ! The starters arrived promptly and were both very tasty but that was nothing compared to the mains . My wife agreed with me that it was probably the best and tastiest roast dinner we have ever had in a pub , and believe me we eat out quite a lot . Everything was cooked to perfection and we would not hesitate to eat here again in passing . A big thumbs up to the chef ... but also to the bar staff . I didn't get their names , but the man and the woman serving us were friendly and polite without being intrusive during our meal . All round .. a great experience ! 👍👍

I took my family to the restaurant to celebrate my birthday. The service was slow, and all of the meals except for one were fine. One meal was terrible, the Sea bream which was ordered with a side of cauliflower cheese. The sea bream is set upon a bed of whipped chick peas. The chick peas were cold and ‘gloopy’, the fish was cold and the cauliflower cheese we were told had been made inadvertently with smoked cheese. We made them aware of the issues, and instead of accepting the problem they decided to argue that in their opinion the meal was adequate, they stated that the manager and chef had tasted it and it was fine. They didn’t offer to replace the meal. At the end they said that the majority of the meal had been eaten and therefore they were charging the full amount for the dish. This is despite all of it being left. They agreed they would not charge for the cauliflower cheese. The management were adamant that everything was fine and rather than end up in an embarrassing argument in the middle of the restaurant In the end I paid the full amount, only to find afterwards when checking the bill fully they had not only charged a fixed fee for service but also for an extra meal we had not ordered. My birthday meal was ruined, the experience left one of my party hungry and very un- happy.

Another couple came in with a couple of dogs and sat on the table next to me. The dogs whinged and the couple sat on their phones ignoring them. If youve got dogs and they be Cu..s please put them back In your car as people with trained dogs dont want to hear it. By all means sit there on your phones ignoring them but have a thought for others who where enjoying a quiet pint before your arrival. Even dog owners dont appreciate it. Shame

Visited for grill and chill night (thursday) food was sooo good. Nachos to start with beef brisket....so tasty and just the right amount of heat. Followed by the dirty burger and crispy Tennessee chicken burger. The portions were very generous and the flavours were unreal. Although they were busy the service was spot on and food and drinks were delivered promptly. See you next Thursday! 🤣👍

Visited this pub after a nice walk on sunny day. We approached the bar just before a fleet of others arrived. Bar women walked length of bar to collect glasses , blanked us, returned a second time and as she went to walk past us again I said hello and asked to order drinks, her reply I’m not serving, no smile, no mention of getting someone else. Then a barman came and asked who was next. Got served as she had started serving other visitors. Food order was taken by a warm and welcoming blonde lady . Unfortunately was delivered by the rude barmaid, served with no smile. Seriously small potions and definitely not value for money . Did express our disappointment to the nice waitress on leaving who gave apologies for the rude women. Won’t be visiting again. Warmer welcomes await In many other lovely pubs on the Wirral.

I've had better elsewhere and this was quite pricey for a very average Sunday roast. The beef was on the tough side and I left the carrots. They weren't horrible exactly but had a strange 'twang' to them a bit like they'd been cooked in Star Anise Spice. When the waitress cleared our plates, I said I'd left the carrots as they tasted weird. She agreed they were an acquired taste and lots of people left them. Says it all really! I made the reservation in advance and had requested a table in the main bar but instead, we were escorted out to a very bland back section of the building which looked like an overflow room, totally lacking in ambience and nothing like the main area. Doubt we'll return as the CH64 area isn't short of other places to try.

Our initial reception was not very welcoming, 5 staff stood in the bar area and no-one smiled or spoke. We'd booked a table for an early meal and after ordering a drink we were told our table was in the dining area on the left . Subsequent service seemed to improve as evening progressed. Tables so disenfected glasses and menus stuck to them, not a bad thing but not comfortable either. Food average. Couple of years since this experience, changed a bit. Staff welcoming and pleasant, table in the pub area not a problem. Problem was that the table wasn't clean, manager did wipe it after I asked, food awful, couldn't tell where pastry and chicken differed just a hard lump which could have been either ,mash ok,mushy peas oddly seemed to have two varieties one brighter green than the other. Never a good pub but at least it felt cleaner than today
