The Netherton Hotel in Sefton

My friend and I meet up for lunch about 3 or 4 times a year and this is usually where we go. This time was extremely disappointing, though. For 1pm on a weekday afternoon, the place was surprisingly empty and very quiet. The food here has been consistently good in the past, with decent sized portions but was a total let down on this occasion. The lasagne was very sloppy and very, very, greasy. The meat was of very low quality and contained a lot of gristle. It was so disgusting that I left a fair amount. Usually, a member of staff visits the table during your meal to see if everything is ok. This time, this did not happen. When the dishes were collected, we were then asked if everything was ok. I said about the lasagne being dreadful and pointed out the gristle I'd left at the side. I was told that I should've said something earlier. I don't even recall an apology. Usually, I'd be asked if I wanted something else instead, but that didn't happen either. I decided to try a lovely sounding and looking dessert. Now, I know that you don't usually get huge portions, but over £5 for a tiny sliver?! It also tasted decidedly underwhelming. As I said, this was our usual haunt for our lunch meets, but if the next time is as bad as this time, we'll be looking for somewhere new.

We had our pre Christmas night out. We enjoyed the festive menu. Food and service were excellent. Food was served in a timely way and everything was piping hot.

Lovely, friendly staff. Clean and good vibes. Service was fast and food was delicious and great value for money. Best part was the great staff

Excellent service by staff, food and drink arrived promptly and staff ensured all was good with the meals. Very well priced and quality food

The staff are great the foods amazing beer is reasonably priced great atmosphere had a lovely day xxxx Elaine tricia and Jordan xxxx

Tracey is the loveliest person ever so friendly and attentive she is a credit to your pub. I would definitely come back if only for Tracey !

We had a lovely family meal last week. We had the festive menu and there was 16 of us. Kayleigh looked after us from start to finish, we will be back again xx

Just had a beautiful roast dinner cooked perfectly 👌 could of ate a second plate was that nice 😋 thank u xxx

Had a large family festive meal, the food was superb and the level of service exceptional. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Food was not great, friendly staff, good atmosphere

Disappointed with the Sunday roast not anything like portions used to be 1 piece meat ,and rationed veg, not worth price have a look at other people's before ordering

This is absolutely fantastic place to visit friendly staff delicious food and great variety of drinks

Not very happy with the Sunday dinner for £10 didn't look anything like pictures small slice of beef 5 little roast potatoes and not even a spoon full of mash potatoe didn't think it was worth the money

Very pleased with the premises, food drink and staff Very friendly and helpful.

I love the place I did leave a negative review a long time ago due to bad experience from 1 staff member. But in all fairness the place is ran really well staff and. Management are good and it consistent which is rare . Kayliegh is particularly good energetic very bubbly and is can't do enuff. And 2 other staff worth a mention is Elaine and Tracy are also very helpful . And always professional

Served by a very pleasant lad Dan Jones. Very helpful and attentive. Great service by Duty Manager Jack again very helpful and pleasant Would recommend to others

Lovely meal will visit again soon 👍👍👍

For what we paid and what we got . Fantastic value for money.

We visited Sunday 13th after being let down by another pub , there where 17 of us and they fit us in no problem and the food and service where fantastic! So much so we went back tonight and had the same excellent experience Thank you very much, lovely pub and lovely helpful staff

Had lunch with parents and husband here. Food and service were brilliant. Daniel served us and was such a lovely and professional young man - thank you!

Food fast and great service, burger a little burnt and dry. Other than than lovely meal

Nice enough place. Typical Hungry Horse. Loads to choose from and meals are simple and tasty. This place needs a bit of TLC but it's clean and staff are friendly

Brilliant food and drink. Brilliant atmosphere and brilliant staff. Love this pub beat place to be. Not rushed to finish tea.

We booked the Netherton at last minute after being let down by somewhere else 17 people accommodated and the food was excellent and the service by julie and her team was brilliant.all our parties will be at the Netherton from now on

Lovely family friendly pub, staff are always polite and friendly. Went out of their way to fit us in at short notice. Food was lovely as usual. Would highly recommend.

Great place for good food and pleasant atmosphere.

Cannot fault the service or the food, staff very friendly especially Julie, the manager. Great pub.

Lovely family restaurant, good atmosphere, great service

Brilliant, thank you we love coming here for our lunch or tea ❤️

Nice pub, really good atmosphere, good food and drink

Good family pub, had a very pleasant evening

waiting 25 minutes for two drinks? Food came out first

Food was great. Service from Tracy was fantastic. Very friendly and attentive

Terrible service when we come for food didn’t cook the steak to what I asked for had to send it back got asked if I wanted it heated up staff was just talking to other staff when they was not on duty blanking us when we come to the bar

Food was really nice (burger sizzler combo)😋😁

Great family pub. Good selection of food and drinks and the service was quick and friendly, despite it being very busy. Nice atmosphere outside in the back, which was well maintained. Will be visiting again!

The staff are always friendly ---- We normally have something with salad and I don't think many places could do a better salad such a variety of veggies

The food is really good and nice friendly staff

Table 21. Friendly and helpful staff. Jack on the till and the ladies serving the food.

Used to go the netherton drinking when I was younger and first time I’ve been with my family and I’m not one to complain ever but besides the starters the food was shocking my girlfriend had the smothered steak which was chewy and the chips where hard the peas where hard and the onion rings where cold and mine was the quadzilla burger the chicken pieces on it where dry the chips where also cold we left the food on the table barely eaten and the staff didn’t even come over to check if everything was ok and we booked a table on line and got there and someone was sitting on our table just a major let down from start to finish such a nice looking boozer only one of the lads who brought our food out made an effort major let down

Food great as usual and great service Ellie couldnt have done anymore

Went to the Netherton last night having booked a table at our favourite Hungry horse (The nags head who had no chef) we were welcomed by Julie a super helpful and friendly lady and shown to a table, the service we received was more like a top end restaurant and the food prepared by Trish and Ryan was spot on, if you want a cheap but first class meal look no further than the Netherton, big thank you to all the staff, Even Ben the great tall guy collection the glasses was a bundle of fun and all were a credit to the company

Called in with the family for lunch on way to Liverpool. Great value food and very friendly staff. Served by Jordan who couldn’t have been more friendly, really helpful with our choices and a pleasure to be served by. A credit to the pub.

Came in as had Tesco Vouchers, tried the new lunch menu which was lovely. Jordan and Danny where very helpful. Recommend the lamb Kofta

Arrived on a Friday afternoon with my 89 year old dad , my 2 great neices aged 2&4. We found a seat only to be told that the area was reserved although no sign to state this. We happily moved to another part of the pub, decided what we wanted to eat and was then asked to move again due to a large party of teachers arriving . This was unacceptable as again there were no reservations signs in place. Needless to say that’s the last time I will be frequenting this pub. Thanks for your reply but just so you are aware there were no chairs blocking the areas , they only put them up when we were asked to move .

Lindsey was so pleasant and polite when she brought our food over What a lovely girl !

Tracey really good at her job deserves a promotion excellent

Lovely breakfast, really great service, nice atmosphere, loads of parking with EV charging, well worth a visit

We where served by Demi she was lovely and polite. Our food cooked by Leigana and Chris was cooked to perfection (we had steak) We will definitely be back.

I'd highly recommend the burgers! Very tasty.. Danny and the chef Leighanne was very helpful and patient.am looking forward to my next vist

The food was amazing, I’d highly recommend the steaks! Danny was very helpful

Excellent service our server was Beth she is very nice and polite nothing is to much trouble. Our chef was Ryan everything cooked to perfection. Lovely warm atmosphere very welcoming and prices to suit everyone's budget. Excellent selection for children aswell I advise booking before attending as I always do as they get very busy especially on a Sunday for the roasts. There is also a vegetarian option on the Sunday roasts.

Amazing service, good attitude , emily

What you expect from a chain pub, half decent food, half decent pints, and can be slow if there is more than one person in the queue. Not a bad place for a quick pint or to watch the football, but far from anything special either

My food was cold but just ate it...other issues but not for here

Food was amazing!! Recommend coming here for a breakfast! Tracy and jack were amazing servers!

Tracy and Jack were really nice to me and my friends coming for a breakfast. Super kind. 😁

Lovely food Jack and tracey on bar amazing as always xx

Tracey was an absolute pleasure to meet! From the moment we arrived she made us feel welcome and ensured we were always satisfied. Tracey has been an absolute star! So thank you Tracey! We’ll definitely be back.

Great staff, great choice of gluten free options.

Very accommodating for our large group and birthday celebration. Great service from Kay, Linsey and Ben, great family friendly atmosphere.

Lovely food lovely choice. Food was piping hot and front of house staff Kay and Lindsay were fabulous!! Also tasty deserts. Lovely night.

Had a lovely meal for a birthday, food came out hot and staff were very attentive to us kay and linsey and ben were all lovely

Food not very good. Building needs lots of repair. Ceiling near the doors to garden has virtually collapsed

Came here for food today, had a lovely time with my friends. Staff were so helpful and polite got served by a handsome young man named Jack. excellent food will definitely come back.

Nice pub atmosphere, great experience with the staff, amazing garden space at the back of the Pub.

Service from Lindsey and Beth today were fantastic, very helpful and polite

Quick lunch with daughter, as we saw was new management. All will say is based on my toasted wrap and salt n pepper chips, was that dessert of choc fudge cake was gorgeous and wish had just stuck with that and a coffee. Shame, but am sure if was diff time day may have been slightly better main.

Great pub been going here for years on special occasions and it never fails to impress

Went for tea with the family and was lovely our server jack was very helpful

Love this pub. Came in for a few pints after work, was welcomed by the staff on shift, was a good atmosphere after Aintree’s national day. We didn’t eat on this visit but will do next time for sure!! Thanks to the staff Leighanne, Dan and Jordan
