The Nook Cafe in Wirral

I don't come here often, but am always delighted when I do. The food is so tasty and flavoursome. The service is polite and friendly; and the environment is welcoming and spotlessly clean. Thanks for a lovely lunch!

Service was slow ,ordered the chicken burger which was nice enough but didnt merit the £9 price tag,just some chicken pieces and a bit of lettuce...no chips or sides,wouldnt go back there

Great place for a bite to eat and quality coffee. Staff are helpful, friendly and super efficient. Plenty of choice on the menu, good quality fresh ingredients used throughout too it seems. We'll be back soon.

Lovely brunch but I hate that a service charge is added to the bill so you have to proactively remove it.

I’m not satisfied with the waffle i ordered! It supposed to be crispy on the outside and soft moist on the inside, rather i got a very crispy waffle through and through almost like eating a waffle cone. Vanilla ice cream also very small in scoop. Cost additional £3 for an extra waffle! Not worth it! The lady staff who served was nice and looks like the 1 kitchen staff is struggling with orders as there was 5 tables to be serve with 2 staff. Feel sorry for them

We had the Tapas on Friday. The dishes were all flavoursome and very enjoyable.Owner's recommendations were good! We drank the recommended White Rioja which was good and had a lovely sherry with our puddings.

My partner and I went for breakfast, as we used to go regularly when the venue was Hardys, and was always delicious. We sat in the window seat, and we were welcomed by a sign on the wall informing us the dogs and children's outdoor footwear were not permitted on the window seat, and if the 'polite' request was ignored, we would be evicted. Nice. I decided that the chorizo hash with eggs sounded lovely, but as I struggle with drier foods, I requested a side order of hollandaise. My partner ordered eggs benedict. Our drinks arrived and my partners latte was luke warm. However, the thimble full of milk I received for my pot of tea, was red hot. As we know, heating milk changes its composition by releasing lycopenes and melting the sugars, making it sweet and creamy, great in coffee. Not in tea. Anyway, whilst trying to work out how to stir my pot of tea without a spoon, the short haired cook bounces up to our table, hands on hips (we will call her Karen, as I don't know her name, as she didn't introduce herself) I am abruptly told that I am not permitted to have a side order of hollandaise with the hash, because, 'it is Karen's favourite dish on the menu, and I am not allowed to ruin it by the addition of hollandaise. It is a spanish dish, so I can't have hollandaise.. If I want hollandaise I had to have eggs royal, benedict or florentine.' I am not 17 year old Demi from the Leasowe Karen, I'm a middle aged Nursing Manager. I was so shocked, I was speechless. My Partner argued that it was my choice of what I wanted but she aggressively stared him down until I agreed to forget the sauce. I felt like a child being told off for not doing their homework in a timely manner. Then the food came. My partner had 2 small muffin halves, with one slice of over cooked bacon, one poached egg was completely solid, other not far behind, topped with a small dollop of hollandaise on each. No garnish, and not particularly nice. My ' hash' was, as expected, very dry. Potatoes and onions on the bottom Topped with 2 fried eggs, again 1 yolk solid, with a scattering of chorizo over. A very large dusting of smoked paprika. It was reasonably tasty, but very dry, and I'm sure, would of been delicious with a bit of sauce to moisten it. If, Gordon Ramsey, holder of 16 Michelin stars told me that I would certainly not require additional sauce with one of his dishes, I would take that. But not from Karen, the thoroughly objectionable rude and threatening breakfast cook from a cafe in West Kirby. Needless to say, we won't be going back.

Lovely little cafe. Very friendly. Food was tasty and coffee was excellent.

Excellent food, would definitely recommend a visit

Probably the nicest sandwich I have eaten, amazing service catered for my coleiacs very well, pointed out alternatives, quick friendly service and very informative about allergies, definitely recommend to any one concerned with allergies just let them know.

Over priced, over cooked, 50 pound for 2 full englishs, drinks, and 2 kids breakfasts, although no kids menu, or kids prices, will not be coming back service was friendly thats about it. In response to the owners comments, i stand by what i said, over cooked and over priced. I ate it because i didnt want to waste my money, when asked how it was i said " it was alright" as didnt want to be rude, then when i was told it was £48 odd i honestly felt sick, which led to my negative review. Wont be coming back and won't be recommending 👍 Oh yeah and i ordered 3 extra items as 1 sausage, 1 egg and 2 bacon is tiny for for price so ordered an extra egg, piece of bacon and a sausage which was £2.50 more? Then my girlfriend requested to swap her black pudding for a hash brown, and got told it was going to be 50p extra! How petty. *Also correction * 1 coffee * 1 tea and *2 hot chocolates is not 4 coffees and hot chocolates *

This is a nice place, but struggles due to the flat atmosphere and standard surroundings. The food is good, the service is fine but it isn't competing in terms of character and attraction.

Been numerous times for the tapas on a Friday evening. Always great!

Small but lovely place on the main street in West Kirby. Staff are friendly and they provide really tasty food and excellent coffee. Loved it.

I personally thought a little expensive but l may be out of touch

Gorgeous food. Pricey for portion size. Had a great lunch

First time we've been, chorizo hash was recommended to me (I'm coeliac, so on a gluten-free diet), two words - bloody lovely!! My wife had brie, cranberry and bacon toastie, which she really enjoyed too. Plenty of choice food and drink wise, nice atmosphere, great food knowledge which was very reassuring for us. As Arnie (sort of) says, "we'll be back!"

My wife and I went along for the Friday evening tapas (after we popped in for lunch earier in the week and liked the food). An excellent meal of home cooked, tasty and authentic tapas. Really enjoyable and thoroughly recommended.

Everything was fab, the food, the drinks and the excellent service. We will certainly eat there again. Thank you

We arrived at The Nook by chance having just walked past. We really enjoyed it: great food freshly prepared and good service. Fantastic poached eggs and bacon with toast. Thank you.

Quality fry up, accommodated my low carb requests .. everyone enjoyed their food

First time visit. Nice food and friendly service

The Nook was very cost, immaculately clean and well presented. The young man serving was polite and attentive and made every effort to serve us professionally and warmly. I had the burger with hand cut chunky chips and my wife had a full breakfast, we finished with a scone with butter, cream and jam. The food was all fresh and I think almost all made in the kitchen from scratch. We couldn’t have been happier with it.

Lovely food; good service; good prices

Really nice food, great little cafe.

Watch out for the short haired cook, fly's off the handle very easy, walking past and saw her scream at a postie, because he left the door open for 2 seconds while delivering, very hot tempered

Loved it. Lovely lunch. Quality food at a good price. Lovely staff too 👍.

Best Tapas in West Kirby, delicious flavours, lots of choice, pork especially good with romesco sauce, try it for yourself if you enjoy tapas

Lovely coffee, friendly staff, a real gem

Good food, good price and good vibes.

Food and drinks are amazing. I'd highly recommend The Nook to anyone. You really won't be disappointed! A special shout out to Nancy who is fantastic!!

I decided to take my fiancée their for a change so the skinny hot chocolate is lovely and yummy and the lemon tart was lovely and soft so the lady was helpful in the cafe giving us good services in my life so I shall be back with my mates again

We waited nearly 40 minutes for an all day breakfast. When it arrived it was the smallest plateful of food I've ever seen, it looked like they had used one mushroom between us. Such bad service, a total rip off for nearly £25. Never going back there.

Lovely food and attentive service

Great coffee and tasty food and friendly service.

Asked for a large coffee in a takeaway cup and got the smallest cup I've ever seen. Don't bother going here. Rip off.

Breakfast food was ok, but it was empty when we were there. Service was good though

The Nook was a lovely place to have something to eat, Me and my friend both Loved are Fish finger Sandwich and a Side of Hand cut Chips so Delicious, Atmosphere was lovely and Staff were all so Nice, Will definitely visit again.

Lovely little place with great food and attentive staff, I’m glad it was busy and didn’t mind waiting a little it was worth it and locals should be happy to have a lovely place like this on their doorstep.

The food is amazing, service is brillant, staff couldnt be more friendly, will deffo be back DOG FRIENDLY !!! 👍

A good, local neighbourhood cafe. There is lots of competition and sometimes people might not get to The Nook. It serves a mixed menu of sandwiches and all day breakfasts. Have had lunch and brekkie here and both have been good. Staff are friendly and whilst not the cheapest of places the food is always good quality.

Nice little place. Went for a breakfast on a Sunday morning staff very polite and food was great 👍

Nice food and excellent service

Called in for lunch after a bracing walk on the beach. We had built up quite an appetite! Greeted warmly. Ordered two flat whites, then chose our food. Coffees arrived promptly, were hot and tasty. I had chips, eggs and chorizo, it was absolutely delicious, I didn't leave a scrap, in fact I even pinched a bit of toast from my Husband's breakfast to mop up my plate! My Husband ordered a full english and everything was cooked just to his liking. Will definitely go back.

Great welcome food great and well priced.

Lovely cosy cafe! Banana loaf and coconut loaf are to die for! The honey butter served with them is lovely

Best breakfast in West Kirby, great lunches and Friday Tapas!! Friendly service, great music and atmosphere. Very reasonable prices, would highly recommend!!

Disappointed with breakfast. Very long wait. Bacon way too salty. Other customers’ dogs barking at each other. Staff not over friendly. Actually told us how to pay for service when paying on card machine. Won’t be back.

Great cafe good food and friendly staff

Good coffee and friendly service

Had the full English brekkie and very good it was too!

Enjoyed a nice lunch here . Good menu and food is hot .

Went today for a little late lunch And whilst we got what we ordered I wouldn’t rate this establishment much higher than average Ordered a BLT and got literally a BLT on an oval plate no side salad no crisps nothing And a chicken burger on a side plate The side order order Of chips for £4 was ??????????? Totally Embarrassing Got about 12 Chips in a peanut size bowl (small chips at that) Tea for two was tea for two usually get more than two cups out of a teapot But not this teapot literally got 3 small cups out of it and at the price of it (feel robbed) Would I come back is always something I ask myself (look at previous reviews) Well this Is categorically a BIG no In todays modern society They need to up their game and provide a good service and better food There’s better, much better places to eat in WK In fact so much better this place would rank low At a reasonable price £23.50 for not a lot wasn’t good value Seriously up,your game I hate to knock local business because in todays world it’s hard but please take a look at local competitors and up your game don’t rip off your customers with average cuisine Parkgate tea rooms is so much better and cheaper Sadly didn’t go there today Lesson learnt

A warm welcome, good menu and excellent food. A pity the place is so small as there are many people looking in and not able to dine.

Lovely little cafe. Reasonably priced. Tasty food and friendly staff.

Had the full English breakfast. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and the food was great. A little on the expensive side though but the excellent coffee made up for that.

Lunch with friends as always lovely food - generous helpings.

Peaceful and the staff welcomes you with a friendly smile. I'll go back there for a coffee.

Hmm not much on the plate for the money charged.

Came here for a catch up with a friend with my 4 month old baby. It didn’t feel too small to accommodate my pram despite it being a small establishment. The staff were great - they took our drinks orders and were happy to wait for food orders whilst I fed my daughter. I ordered the coronation chicken salad which was delicious! Even tasted nice cold which tends to be the case with a baby! They have baby changing facilities when I asked, the woman even offered to help set up the nappy changing station. I would recommend this cafe for it’s beautiful food and kind hospitality, well will definitely be going back! Thank you x

Food good but major ongoing argument in the kitchen, including offensive language, ruined the experience.

First time I have been there and it was brilliant. I look forward to trying other things on the menu in the future.

Good selection of food and drinks. Happy to adapt things for you if you don't like everything that's in a meal. Good portions, delicious food. Staff lovely too, definitely on my list to visit again.

We called in here looking for something light, as neither of us was really hungry - ahem! The place was light, bright and very clean, and extra points from me for having paper towels in the loo. So my ‘something light’ was egg and chips and my husband had the full English breakfast, all breakfast items being available until 4pm. The lady in charge could not have been more friendly and attentive and the food, freshly made, was delicious. And do you know what else was delicious? The tea! Sounds silly maybe, but it’s the first pot of tea I think I’ve ever enjoyed with a meal out. Would highly recommend.

Dropped in for snack and coffee, really friendly, really nice food, pancake was to die for, reasonably priced too 😋☕👌

Lovely little place. I had the veggie breakfast bap. So tasty. Friendly service, love visiting when coming to west kirby

Not the best cafe in West kirby. Service a bit slow even though wasn't terribly busy. Coffee was nice enough. Good that dogs are allowed. But just not my favourite cafe sorry

We had an amazing Tapas here for our friends birthday. The food was awesome, and both the vegetarian and the gluten-free person in our group were very well catered for. This place is a little gem.

Absolutely amazing Tapas. We had a brilliant birthday celebration for our friend. Every dish that came out impressed everyone, and our gluten-free and vegetarian friends were very well catered for. Very highly recommended!

The Friday night tapas is awesome. Friendly staff

Warm welcome, delicious food and the best coffee I've ever had.

The food here is delicious! So fresh and such good quality. The portions are very generous too. Varied menu selection, lots to suit.

Great toasted bacon n sausage brekki and coffee. Recommended. Nice

Tapas delicious, good variety. Owner explained all the dishes and they were so tasty. Good fun with friends. Really simple but good.

Staff friendly, had a beautiful Brie with Cranbury Sauce and bacon toasty. Place was nice & clean. Would go again. 😊

Cosy, nice service and brilliant food xx

Excellent service , great food , what more can I say ?

Well - that was what my husband said as he enjoyed his full English! I had egg and chips - a simple dish, but it was one of the best I've had in ages. Oh - and a hot chocolate with all the triimngs - and that was jolly good as well! Lovely people - excellent service.

Great cup of tea and lovely spicy cheese on toast.

Lovely food and great staff. Felt like home

Nice sandwiches but Luxury Belgian hot chocolate was just like hot milk and a bit tasteless

Went here for breakfast on Saturday morning. Friendly lady. Good selection of breakfasts to have. Went for a full english which was delicious and I always appreciate the effort to send it on a hot plate. had a homemade banana milkshake as well on a whim rather than coffee which was also delicious. Been in many of the West Kirby Cafes and this one didn't disappoint.

Lovely food and lovely staff too

The nicest chicken burger and sweet potato fries I’ve ever had.

Great choice of dishes on the menu, good service, well cooked food and great coffee.

Nice bright location, plenty of room, food great, coffee ☕ spot on. Recommended

Excellent service. Very good coffee and tea. Well worth a visit. We will be going back!

Nice enough food but not a lot of it for the money

Nice food, quick service, friendly atmosphere

Best ever banana bread.. warm with salted honey butter.. delicious. Lovely coffee.

Menu outside, lots of tempting choices, well priced. Licenced, with a little courtyard at the back as well as pavement tables at the front. Food and service excellent, staff pleasant and could not do enough for us. Delicious food!! Will definitely be paying a visit again soon!

Great coffee's, had Americano&Capuchino, wholemeal toast.

Beautiful decor, friendly team and above all excellent food. We had tapas in the evening and would highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic breakfast / lunch. The Onion bhaji burger is amazingly tasty. All four of enjoyed our meals. Very friendly staff. Definitely recommend

Fantastic host. Great food. Love it.

What a pleasure to be around Nancy and the team at the Nook. Wonderful service and food and drink that make you want to visit every day. Perfect location, great experience every time. Thanks 😊

Nice to sit outside. But kitchen fan not good enough to clear the smells inside.

Waited ten mins before getting menu. Then told there would be a 25 min wait for food even though there were only two full tables. Won't be returning.

We really enjoyed the food and service here; the courtyard hidden at the back was a nice shaded area out of the sun and pleasant to sit in. The staff were friendly and a good atmosphere (great place to bring our three year old). Also appears dog friendly.

Lovely place. We stopped for breakfast in the COVID compliant courtyard. Good quality food, well cooked and great coffee too.
