The New Merton Inn in Sefton

Great Family Pub, food is amazing

Amazing venue for both social and business meeting. Fantastic staff.

Nice local pub, staff very helpful and friendly 🙂

We had breakfast here. The tea was good. Enough said.

The toilets are awful doors missing in the gents it stinks and the prices are too high

Nice little pub, shame about the parking. You cannot pay for parking on card it has to be cash which is a nightmare for most people these days. You have to pay to park and you will 100% get fined if you don’t pay. I think the car park is owned by someone else and it has ANPR cameras. Drinks were well priced though and the staff were really friendly. Toilets were clean.

This is a great pub, good music, friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Seating outside not great views but nice on a hot day.

Rather empty for a Saturday afternoon/early evening.

Music not the best and over loud for time of day

Lovely. Felt very ‘festivaly’ as we were waiting to attend a gif at the local shopping centre/car park . Would definitely recommend the loaded fries 🤌🏻

My Mum always told me, if you got nothing nice to say, Sony say anything at all🤫

Best gaff about in Liverpool no doubt best vibes around the city

I only visited the Merton for a coffee with friends.

It's one of those... Hot day, stressful day... Let's find somewhere for a pint pubs... And it does that very well

New menu is delicious! Highly recommend the pizza or wrap, friendly family atmosphere and reasonably priced with great service. Lovely outdoor space for a drink in the sun.

nice pub, lovely staff, waited abit long to be served but it was busy, but all around good visit, would go again

Met my mate here at lunchtime...beer was good, service ok..

Food only served until 4 menu isn’t as good anymore and prices have gone up! Hardly any shots and no draft coke etc. Staff are really nice. Only other good thing about today was the singer Joshua Johnson who sat outside with his guitar and kept us all entertained, fab voice and lovely guy 🎶🎸

We heard there was a new menu so we went to try and was not disappointed at all the food was excellent Well presented gud value for money would defo recommend you won't be disappointed see you soon 👍

Just had a lovely experience, nice sunny weather and Jonny singing outside. Such a lovely lad. Hopefully they will keep him on and should definitely get him to be singing outside. Bar staff are so lovely too.

Good drinks offer but absolutely freezing inside. Had to sit with hat and coat on indoors

Such a shame, outside filthy and full of rubbish and cigarette buts, even on the step in. The loos need a total make over no loo seat no locks, the tables are sticky and for some odd reason still plastic menu holders on the tables even though no food and definitely not for reservation signs!. Please someone take it over it's such a nice building, unless something is done it will be closed in a few months it can't survive as it is. The only saving grace the bar staff seemed nice.

Horrible place Horrible customers 2 staff girls seemed nice

I came here with my mum and daughter. Mum ordered Gammon with egg chips and peas. Myself and daughter a southern fried chicken wrap. The chicken wraps had no salad or sauce on it only cremated chicken which was so tough it hurt our teeth. The wraps themselves where cremated and tasted of charcoal. The gammon was so hard me mum couldn’t eat it so she just ate the chips. I no it’s cheap but you could tell no care was put into cooking the food everything was bad, girls behind the bar where lovely though.

We have just had a lovely meal an the roast dinner was the best I've had out in a long time all fresh an cooked to perfection.will definitely be back.

Nice place but always an annoying weirdo at the bar

Nice interior. Good beer. They only need to give the outside of the building some attention. Outside seating is well past it's best, and falling to bits. Weeds everywhere, and lettering has fallen off from front. If they cleaned all that up, they would draw in more customers. Just good business sense, I think!

Went here in the morning time qnd ordered a breakfast. It was amazing and the price was also amazing. 2 eggs, 2 sausage, 2 bacon, 2 hash browns, black pudding, beans and tomatoe. And to top it of a tea, coffee or fruit juice all for the fantastic price £6 (something). Staff brilliant service and really friendly. 100% would return

Decent food and a nice pint. Friendly staff

Bootle used to be a scene, the Merton, Yates’s, sullies and the village. There’s nothing left. Back in the day it would be heaving, dj’s on, people would come here rather than town. Now look at it. About 10 people in the Merton on a Saturday night? Bad shame what’s happened everywhere, especially the Merton. Sad times. Bring back the 90’s 😕

The car park is a rip off no wonder the place is always empty

Very loud music but decent overall

Friendly atmosphere nice lady behind the Bar. Toilets poor.

Walked past it did not go inside can't answer this question

Average pub, outside seating area very poor. Used to be a good pub years ago.

Good open air seats and karaoke inside the pub plus free skysport

Good all round good service good staff good prices good beer nice and friendly

The pitchers of cocktails are ok but the food is awful

Not been here for ages but popped in for one last week. Pub inside was very dark. I guess they were saving on the electricity bill. Beer garden ok if you like watching traffic.

Despite no other customers eating my friend waited 40 minutes for her jacket potato...and this was after asking the bored looking staff twice. There wasn't exactly many other customers and the whole place is dark and depressing. Looks to be on it's last legs.

Not really a place I'd recommend unless the sun is out.

Decent outdoor dining experience. It looks like they revamped the menu from when I was last there. The menu is small but accomodating to most tastes

Sadly this once lovely pub , appears, to have lost its way. Visited , during the week , and only six customers. Drinks priced reasonable, and , the outdoor seating is a big plus , when , the weather is nice.

Nice pub. A really good car boot every Sunday

Ordered chili con carne. Said it came with rice and sour cream. Received a bowl of poor quality chili con carne with no rice or sour cream. Instead it came with a few soggy chips, salad and dry garlic bread. It all came with a single tablespoon...to eat chips.

OK for a quick pint and a chill.

Good food. Good prices. Good drinks & good company. What more could you want?

Vile...food cold...stunk in there ..

Very nice pint lovely staff enjoyable after noon all round

Beer ok very rundown sad .many years a go! Very nice boozer never mind ..

Popped for a glass of wine with work friends, place was empty ,and soulless. Dirty and run down , such a shame as really enjoyed this place with friends. SHAME

Nice cup of coffee ☕️ with the husband . Enjoyed

Like going back in time to the 90s when it was probably cleaned last

Very dark inside and had a funny smell inside

Miserable grotty place it's too dark and decoration is dismall . Outside was full of cig ends and some needles I won't visit again .

Place is a dive, needs a complete refurb, the food was yummy tho. I had small brekky. Daughter had chicken wrap 😁

Absolutely shocking how bad this pub is now ...so run down..all mouldy on the walls inside and fithy outside with litter everywhere...my mates ordered the breakfast and was awful.bacon was 2 strips of streaky bacon...the type you normally wrap around stuff...there was a lil pot of beans with about 20 beans in .....and cheap frozen sausages....avoid

It was a very suited pub and had lovely staff the only thing that I think they could improve is the weird placing of the toilets (2 women 1 male it's just me but is a tab wired)

Was OK friendly staff. But needs a good refurbishment

Decent little boozer, a little on the expensive side but it's a place to chill after work.

Will never go again , staff not very helpful Dont pass for a one off drink you need to pay for carpark :(

Going for a few drinks? Good!! food? I wouldn't get ever again. Nachos came out like a brick stuck together and the Steak was very chewy.

Steak very chewy so wouldn't come here again for a steak, but the chocolate fudge cake was nice

Great little pub, plenty of choice, friendly staff, they also serve food

Food was not up to scratch and the service wasnt much better

Visited on Saturday afternoon. Obviously with restrictions still in place, everyone was either standing or sitting on a bench. There were four of us in total. Arrived at five. At five to six we still hadn't managed to order one drink!! Regardless of how many times we tried asking the waitresses. In the end we got fed up and left. Very poor service. Seemed very understaffed. Although 3 waitresses were present only two seemed to be working taking orders. Not been out in a while and kind of spoilt our evening.

Staff were great,very polite and helpful

Beer good price excellent service leaves a lot to be desired

Top draw staff excellent service

Nice meal but people are buying meals and not eating them, just leaving them on the table and drinking beer.

Drinks very expensive compared to other pubs.

Cos it's jus the dark old met on innit.

The pubs clientele, lets it down

Not the place it once was, won't rush back

Since the change of management they don't seem to care. The food took ages to arrive, and was not hot. I will not be going there again !!!

The Merton Inn is a great pub that I always look forward to visiting whenever I am in this district of Liverpool. A huge pub,a landmark building, the interior is superb, multi roomed,a great looking serving bar, superb decor and furnishings and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub both inside and outside looking out onto the busy and bustling Stanley Road. We were here on a Tuesday afternoon, greeted warmly by a very pleasant member of the staff, we gave our details of name, phone number or email address to assist with the governments track and trace system and then sanitised our hands and ordered a real ale each, we chose Wychwood Brewery " hobgoblin gold " these were served in excellent condition and at about £2.40p a pint great value for money. We got a table were we just kicked back, chilled out and took in the great pub we were in. My real ale was exceptional, a pale ale style real ale bursting with taste and very easy to drink, a real ale style both myself and my twin brother Stephen are particularly fond of. We both really enjoyed our real ale's in here before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to here we had a great time. The New Merton Inn is easy to locate along Merton Road. Opening hours are; Monday to Thursday, 8am till 11pm. Friday & Saturday, 8am till 2am. Sunday, 8am till 11pm. A great pub,if your in the area most definitely well worth a visit.

The Merton Inn On Merton Road Is A Huge Pub That Offers A Fantastic Range Of Real Ales Which Are Well Priced.This Pub Is Big And Was Once A Hotel In The 1930s' After Two Villas Were Knocked Into One.Then In WW11 Was Converted Into A Hospital And Then In 1970 Into A Pub.The Last Time We Came Here This Was A Wetherspoons Pub And On Entry To The Pub It Still Retained A Certain Wetherspoons Look Bar For There Menus And Advertising.The Interior Of The Merton Inn Is Multi-Roomed With Excellent Seating Options Throughout The Pub.They Have Many Interesting Features On All The Walls And Throughout The Pub And There Is A Huge Beergarden.We Came Here On A Hot Afternoon'Most People Were Outside In The Beergarden'We Gave Our Track And Trace Details And Then Sat inside The Pub And Ordered Our Beers.The Beers We Had Were Wynchwood Brewery Hobgoblin Ale A Superb Ale Well Served And At £02.40 A Pint Well Priced.This Is A Fine Pub Not As Good As The Wetherspoons Pub That Was Here Before This One But Still Good And I Would Visit Again If Ever I'am In This Area Of Liverpool Again.Very Easy To Find From Oriel Road Train Station Take A Right Onto Oriel Road Then Left Onto Trinity Road You Then Turn Left On Stanley Road And Cross The Street.(This Is My First Review Of The Merton Inn). Opening Hours. Monday-Thursday-08.00-23.00. Friday-Saturday-08.00-02.00. Sunday-08.00-23.00. Hours May Differ From Above.

Best pub in Bootle staff a great food very good Recommend

Place needs a good clean. Staff very helpful. Food ok as well

Shortage of decent beer reeks of bleach

The merton has just changed the catering for food which is a good thing otherwise this review would be different. Finally good food, good prices and good staff.

We spent yesterday afternoon in The Merton, there was about 15 of us, the Merton is a very friendly place where we were made to feel welcome, the staff were all lovely, friendly and happy to be of service

The food was awful cold not properly cooked and tasteless

Doesn't even deserve 1 star, food caked in salt, lips were burning. Asked for my steak to not be burnt and no blood. came burnt and with blood. ribs were rock solid too couldn't even eat them. also found a snake skin shedding on the floor! No idea if there is a snake on the loose in there or not. but 100% will not be returning. absolute waste of money. place is miserable looking and dull.

The staff were very friendly and helpful and the good was hot and tasty

The staff were fantastic, good humoured, remembered my order for each refill, cheap quality drink!!

Food amazing and very nice staff

Only had 1 real ale and wasn't nice. Toilets need cleaning.

Not as good as it used to be. But still ok

Advertised as a wetherspoons but it doesn't do food anymore

The pub is fine bar staff pleasent

Ambience The place was dirty old metal showing on radiator in ladies toilet. The food We ordered a pizza amd ravoli. The pizza was served on cardboard on to a dirty table. The ravolis were fried and cold. The only thing that made the food bearable was the chips and could have been the sauce but there was not enough of it

Went there for breakfast took so long that I've just got a parking ticket cos it exceeded the Time limit won't be going back there again

Good pub, has its ups and downs like every other pub! Apart from that it's a great place to sit out in the sunshine with a nice cold drink

Another great pub friendly busy

Service to slow and there were 3 staff on.

Great Sunday lunch 2 Roasts 2 deserts and a bottle of wine £25

Went in for a cup of tea mum and I. Asked if we wanted food too this was around 11.30 am we were killing a bit if time. Lovely place lovely staff n all friendly

Dirty glasses behind the bar . Toilets disgusting.

Fish, chips & peas x 2. Peas stone cold, chips and fish undercooked with raw batter inside. When I returned our almost full plates to the 3 bar staff and stated that our meals were barely edible they just stood and gaped and said absolutely nothing. No apology, nothing. Won't be returning.
