The Red Fox in Wirral

Love all the Brunning and Price venues, this one is particularly good for a drive out or a walk, lovely part of the world

We do love this place all good apart from the fact that the menu is more or less the same over all the years we’ve been coming Any chance you could refresh it Gill

Beautiful pub inside and out. Made good use of the outdoor seating on a sunny say. Stunning garden.

A nice chilled vibe. Sort of a combination of a local pub and a nice restaurant. The food is typical British dishes for the most part but done to a high standard.

Exceptional all round. Food was perfect 👍, and a fabulous selection of real ales. Add to that, the welcome and service was brilliant.

Beautiful little spot with amazing views, so much choice for comfort food, the chicken and leek pie was stunning.

Waited 40m for food to arrive. No cutlery, and the steaks were of poor quality. The lamb used to be excellent, but since changing the cut to the shoulder of lamb, this is no longer an option. The steak burgers also used to be very good, but quality has fallen here too. Waiting 30m for a drink order on the patio was somewhat annoying. I believe it was the first time in decades when I have not given a tip such was my disappointment.

Absolutely gorgeous place with beautiful gardens. Went with my Mum and daughter for afternoon tea. It was delicious with great service. Will definitely be returning. Have also visited just for a drink when out walking in the local area, fantastic as it is also dog friendly in one of the bars so we were able to sit in when the weather wasn't great.

Went for dinner, friendly staff served us drinks and then a first class meal

Thanks to everyone working yesterday who made our Easter visit perfect. We love coming here as we never have a bad experience and the food and service is always spot on. Will be back again soon!

Family get together for easter. Lovely surroundings, great beer. The beef and lamb were both poor on half a dozen roasts. Very tough. Expect better when paying over the average. Coffee lousy.

We have dined at the Red Fox for 10 years and the meal we had last night was the worst ever. I had fish and chips and after finding bones in the first bite, it left me having to look at every mouthful searching for bones. The chips were not as well cooked as normal. The service was very very slow, which we have experienced before. They need more staff. Would we go again, questionable.

This is our go to place for birthdays, treats, or if we just want the best food around. The biggest selection of gins, whiskies, cask and keg beers you will find. Always an incredible experience.

Fantastic food, setting and service. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Very good apart from a bit of a wait for the main course hence the 4*.

The food is amazing! Every time I visit the Red Fox, it never disappoints. I really like the idea of a small pudding and coffee. Perfect size for me after such large meals 😁

Gorgeous food, Gorgeous place, and highly recommended

lovely place, lovely staff, lively food.

The fish and chips I had was disappointing, I could not identify the thin piece of fish I had. Nothing like a premium piece of cod for instance. The batter was crispy though. The chips, which were probably frozen, were flavourless and the 'mushy' peas were marrrowfats.Poor for £17.50

Fantastic pub with an enormous range of beers (and gin). Great food and fabulous staff

We went for a weekday afternoon tea with a 2:30 booking. It was still quite busy from lunch. The food was lovely (scone was amazing) and the service was good, although they did seem a bit run off their feet (we had a few little waits, but nothing major). My (minor) disappointments were that we sat by a window which was fogged up (obviously not a quick fix) but also we had to request teaspoons for the tea and there were no cake forks. We also had to send back crockery and the server picked up on some too. Given the cost of afternoon tea I would think these things should be spot on. I would think about going again for tea or book for slightly later in the afternoon once lunch is properly over. My mother thoroughly enjoyed it though as did my niece.

Went for afternoon tea to celebrate a birthday, the service was really slow waited 45 mins when finally came the sandwiches were stale and half the fillings were missing, no butter, they did replace when complained which was a lot better, but by this time it had totally spoilt out celebrations we were really disappointed.

Just a drink with my son. Lovely place for afternoon dinner.

We had a Sunday roast and it was excellent, one of the best I've had in a while. It is a little pricey at nearly £22 but good sized portions and the food is well cooked. Service was efficient and well managed Overall, very happy

Amazing place.. 2nd time visiting and this time we were booked in the restaurant where as last time we were in an area near the bar. Food was great once again

Lovely place,great food and staff.

Great, but get some roller blinds, the setting sun is unbearable.

As always the staff are exceptionally good at their job. The food was also delicious. No wonder it is always busy. Well done .

Wonderful venue, lovely food and very good service would highly recommend and also best to book

A really nice pub and restaurant out of the way. I am told it gets busy but it was too busy on a Wednesday night when we went. Food was excellent and great value. Will be visiting again.

Classy pub grub! Great experience

Four of us visited for afternoon tea. Two ladies (97yrs and 86) and their sons. The Red fox is a lovely venue, andwe were looked after by a very attentive member of staff. The food and presentation was very good. Our older guest took ill and one of the staff kindly provided us with wheelchair to get her back to the car. All in all a very nice visit, one I would recommend for afternoon tea.

Lovely meal with friends and their dog. Had a nice table in the dog friendly area behind the main bar. Staff very attentive without being too intrusive. Food very good. A little expensive compared with others options in the area but, at the end of the day, you get what you pay for. Well worth it for the overall experience. Highly recommended.

Lovely Sunday dinner, service was top. Big shout out to Dani who served us, a real treat

Lovely place, nice and relaxing. Good menu. The desert was 👍 & nice coffee ☕

My first time at The Red Fox, booked for a party of 16 and they gave us a fabulous large round table which was perfect for chatting with everyone in the party. Great service from a lovely lady who was funny and patient with us all. Food was fantastic and all came out together and hot which was amazing for such a large party. The atmosphere was fab with lots of others dinning in such a spacious pub. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

The red fox is a lovely restaurant with a large car park. You can walk your dog around the small pond before entering the restaurant. The pond is small but has a seating area that I imagine you can get served from during the summer. The car park has plenty of bays and the entrance is paved very well. I do not believe that there is a height restriction on the entrance The atmosphere is very nice and the lighting is extremely good. The food comes very quickly and is very high quality. The customer service is amazing, all the staff are very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this restaurant to all my friends, it has a beautiful atmosphere.

Good food and pleasant atmosphere at The Red Fox. Not too noisy, very relaxing meal.

I had high hopes for this dining experience, the atmosphere was great and the service was good. However when my pan fried haddock arrived and my friends venison arrived the experience was dampened. The haddock was cooked perfectly however the vegetables it was accompanied by were absolutely dreadful and sauce (that stank) made the food inedible. The venison hotpot was so rich it was practically possible to eat any more than a couple of bites and the accompanying green beans were sad. Could have done with some more vibrant sides and possibly some sort of acid to cut through the richness of the hotpot. Would definitely go back for drinks but would not touch the food with a barge pole.

Always a great meal and great service

Basically another pub/kennel full of wet smelling dogs nice if you like that sort of experience whilst eating/drinking

We called in for morning coffee and enjoyed excellent service and a log fire in the bar .A relaxed and enjoyable visit. Will be visiting again soon for another dining experience .

Used to be great. Menu is now limited and always same old same old no matter which brunning and price. No steak pie, no chicken burger etc etc. Switch up the menu. Hiked prices and made portions smaller

Great for functional meetings.

Really nice meal and a really nice pub/restaurant. Service was exceptional. Food was great. We got a few rounds of drinks plus food prices were great. Seat by an open fire too which was nice.

Loved every minute here. Warm and cosy with great atmosphere with kids and dogs all very well behaved. Food and service was excellent.

Visited just before Christmas and had a lovely meal. I went for the beef salad which was so good. They did forget the extra fries ordered but the lady was apologetic. Service was really good, even though it was very busy we didn’t have to wait a long time. Would definitely return.

A Brunning and Price so you know it’s going to be great decor and yes it was so 10/10 👜 handbag review for that including the service. Lovely and cosy even though there were some rather large rooms. Also everywhere is immaculate so huge thank you to Caroline’s squeaky clean hard work (post on your Instagram & FB page 👏). We tried the steak burger delicious and the chilli beef salad but have to say was quite well done and could just about get my fork into the very crispy beef (was tasty though 😁) Cheeseboard with 4 cheeses again nice for a change but £13.95 crikey (good cheeses are expensive these days) Small waffle was just right thank you for that. So 9/10 👜 handbag food review for today’s lunch. Oh and by the way best toilet rooms we have ‘ever’ seen 👍

Lovely food and a great choice of beers

Fabulous food, very varied menu, excellent service

Lovely atmosphere with open fire. Fabulous food!!

UPDATE on 02 January 2025. We had an excellent meal here in December-see review below-and were told by THREE DIFFERENT MEMBERS OF STAFF that bookings for Christmas Day 2025 opened at 10 am today, the 2nd of January. We arrived at 9.30 am to be told that bookings had actually opened at 9am and there was no longer a table available for our party of 8. A very brief apology from the young lady we spoke to, as in “Sorry about that”. She might just have well added “Now go away “. Very very poor information indeed and not really that much of an apology either, given we’d been falsely informed by 3 members of staff! New review on 16/12/24:- Another EXCELLENT lunch here. First class service, decor, food and drink. Couldn’t fault it! Previous review c. 9 years ago ( although we’ve been quite a few times since!):- Had lunch here a few days ago,a family group of four. The outside and inside look very smart indeed,with lots of hanging baskets and tubs. All the internal walls are full of a fascinating mix of paintings,posters,old cartoons and documents and maps. You could spend a few hours just viewing them! We were sat in a rear window seat with excellent views of the well kept gardens and pleasant countryside beyond. All the tables and decor are solid and smart. Pretty good menu choices and wine list. Food a BIT on the pricey side but nice. Don't mind paying a bit more for the smart and tasteful ambience. You could choose a variety of lighter bites for about £10 or bar snacks for £3 or so each or c. £10 for four snacks,if preferred. Bar area itself v smart but we ate in the conservatory restaurant with pleasant waitress service. One minus point. It was a sunny,warm day and I got a bit too warm. Couldn't see any fans,ventilation grids or air conditioning. On that note,there's also a pleasant,smart outside terrace overlooking the rear gardens. Excellent,apart from my concerns about ventilation.

Lovely food and attentive service

Fabulous food and great ambience

"Visited to celebrate a family birthday, received a warm welcome and although the bar was very busy it was calm and relaxed in the restaurant. The food was excellent, freshly cooked and piping hot. The portions were generous which can't be said of many places these days!"

Decided to go for a last minute anniversary Meal, fortunately a space near the bar/ lounge areas was available we were seen to immediately and with great care by the staff. The atmosphere was great, people sat chatting by the Christmas tree and music playing, but not too loud. Our food was prompt and it was delicious, we had an extremely enjoyable evening.

Excellent service and amazing food. Would highly recommend this place. 👌🏻

Insufficient staff so service very slow, some of the food was cold/ tepid at best and please.....how do you eat consommè with a fork!!!

Came here on recommendation.. Stunning location, friendly staff, dog friendly, and the gents toilets has a really impressive tiled floor 🤣 Boxing Day 3-course festive meal was fabulous and great value! Will be back in the new year!

Excellent meal and a lovely venue

Great food and service, both in the bar and restaurant. Highly recommended.

Beautiful place, great atmosphere and the food is spectacular. The attention is very good too. The place is warm and has a large park around it. It's a little expensive but it's worth it.

Excellent place. Don't think about it... Just book it!!!

We had a fantastic experience at The Red Fox. Very christmassy atmosphere, lovely staff, very attentive and pleasant. Our server Steph was brilliant. Pleasant and professional and made us laugh and feel at ease. Food was lovely too with great flavours and all arrived piping hot and at same time. Well definitely be back!

Went to the Grinch children’s party last night From driving down the brilliantly lit driveway to the venue, we new it was going to be good Two glasses of bubbles on arrival and soft drinks for children Staff all professional and welcoming The grinch actor was really funny and possibly a little to realistic for some of the younger children as he played the part brilliantly Food wonderful, children’s entertainment (Paul) ?? Great fun with disco and games for all Great night in a brilliant venue. Thank you all for putting it on with children and grandparents enjoying it immensely

Been visiting this place for years - and we'll continue to do so! Food is always excellent, but the atmosphere and friendly staff are what make the place. Highly recommended!

We had a really good time, great atmosphere and great food what more would you want

Simply outstanding in every aspect.

I had the Christmas turkey. Really not good which is disappointing for the red fox. The food is usually top notch 😢

Ambience first class, the Christmas decorations were stunning and very tasteful. Food and service were really excellent.

Best meal out I've had in a long time will definitely be back for more first class

First time visit for my auntie 86th birthday lots of people having birthday very noisy dogs are allowed in the bar which I think is just the best and staff were lovely just the noise that bothered me a bit but it can't be helped lovely pub and restaurant will visit again definitely 😊 thank you red fox 😊

So attended this venue for a,birthday meal with my partner, arrived early as we had booked a table but wanted to suss it out first before we sat down to eat, went to the bar the staff at the bar brilliant could not do enough for us, eventually after about 45mins we asked for our table as we had booked it a week earlier, after sitting down and perusing the menu we quickly decided what we wanted to eat and waited for the table service staff to take our order, on looking around the venue I noticed people arriving sitting down and within 10mins staff arrived to take there order, this did not happen to us, I pushed it as long as I could then 25mins (we apparently only had a 2 hour window) later had to ask for service the young girl immediately responded and came back to take our order, I don't think where we where sitting was her patch if you get what I mean but she was brilliant even tho taken aback as if the area was another member of staff to deal with but she was great never seen her again which kinda proves a point, we made our order and eventually it was served, so finished our main then waited to be attended to again for dessert which again took ages I mean a long time, then I noticed that the woman who's patch/area it was as u could see with your own eyes these tables and others where her patch she dealt with them all in this area seemed to be fawning over and being sycophantic over the "regulars" that sat down about 15mins after we did talking to them for ages making sure they where served and ignoring not just us but other people too in the same area, we only got attention when this woman deemed fit to cut conversations with these "regulars" then serve other customers as well as ourselves it all took so long between the time we sat down till the end of the meal, because of the shoddy service im trying to keep a lid on it that evening and stay calm and relaxed because it was my partners "birthday" luckily I hid it well, it was not relaxing at all I'm sure there are better places to pay over £100 to be ignored, the table service was shoddy at best the fawning over regulars to the detriment or other customers was paramount and obvious, not a comfortable experience not a relaxing experience as soon as we left the bar to sit down....

Just been for a much needed outing for tea (me and hubby) We ordered 2 courses off the Christmas menu. A coke and a beer, I had a glass of wine with my main meal When I got the bill I could not believe we had been charged for drinks in the bar (Which we did not have) Starters (which we did not have) Our waitress rectified the bill But it took the shine off the evening tbh

Afternoon tea.. very very good. Good selection of sandwiches. The quiche was particularly nice. Beef and horseradish was very good with a good hit of horseradish. The scone was still warm and excellant. The dark chocolate ganach was superb although much to sweet for me. We were allowed to swap the prosceco for other drinks as neither of us drink it. The selection of cask and keg beers was excellant and good to see such a great list. All in all, very very good. If i had 1 comment, not a complaint, it would be, the brown bread was a little on the dry side. For our first visit to The Red Fox, I was impressed. We'll be back for an evening meal very soon.

Called on spec for lunch today. Car park was full, & restaurant v busy so only a couple of tables left in the bar - and yet, service was attentive, swift & friendly. We are fairly regular visitors & have always enjoyed our meals here. Today was no exception - food was outstanding, arrived promptly, served with a smile, piping hot coffee to round off with, homemade flapjack on the side….just brilliant. Combine all this with the lovely environment & atmosphere & I can’t recommend this place highly enough. Runs like a well oiled machine & knows how to make its customers happy. Go - you won’t regret it

Excellent pub and restaurant you will not be disappointed.

Really nice meal lovely friendly staff. Good parking.

Warm welcome and initially prompt service But once menus provided service was slow even though pub was not that busy Pity because food and atmosphere were excellent

This place is a bit special . It looks like a Manor House from the outside, but when you get inside, it's an enormous beautiful real ale pub ! The best pint of Bitter I have had this year.

Overrated and overpriced. Service is slow 🐌 albeit waiting on staff busy. There is nothing worse than having babies squawking when you are trying to eat a meal. Never again.

Very impressive location and building.. a must for a special occasion. Sunday roast beef is very good.

Food disappointing. Sunday lunch all served on plate. Meat was advertised as beef served pink. Was not.

Excellent food beer and service.

Lovely pub, great food but a tad pricey...

Superb place, well looked after, food great and reasonable as can be these days!!

I have been here twice recently for an evening meal and lunch with friends. The staff are very friendly I highly recommend the leek and potato soup, which was recommended to me by a staff member. It's nice and cosy especially with the fires lit. And a bonus that dogs are welcome in the bar area.

4 adults 1 child 1 disabled elder standing at the door waiting not welcomed by them even booked, waitresses just standing there nothing to do but never come to you to service you! You need to go to ask them otherwise you will never get them to talk to you on your arrival!! One dish was lamb shoulder we just had a little and told waitress we want to take away, in the end they said they didn't hear so threw the expensive dish away. Very rude and don't know what their people are doing, they don't care customers at all! Service and price are not matching, been there couple of times but not going again!!

Went for Sunday roast .was disappointed we had been previously and really enjoyed it .this time the food was not so good ,one small carrot half is not what I'd call veg !!! The roast potatoes were also very hard ,I've had better at the Toby carvery for much cheaper

The B&P magic succeeded once more 😍Online table booking a doddle, always great food & beer selections.

there was a lady with her right hand who had 2 sore fingers I didn't catch her name and a tall lady with dark hair, both were immaculately dressed, never stopped smiling and made the whole evening very pleasant with their impeccable service skills, even my mum commented and that is very unusual. great evening well done

3rd time been here and booked for my wife’s birthday. First time was when it opened we had been out on a walk and thought we would pop in for a drink. Board at bar advertised pie and pint. As I enjoy a pie I ordered it. Was so disappointed it was half a mini pie what a joke. Never went back until 2 years ago one of our friends booked 11 of us for our Christmas get together we were all disappointed but put it down to be busy at Christmas. So as I said on 21st October booked for my wife’s birthday. We were shown to our table which was in a nice position I thought this looks promising. But when it came to ordering our meals the young man informed the main course my wife ordered was not available.So she chose another one again to be told that was not available. Ordered another then the young man returned to say that all so was not available.he informed us that we should have been informed when we gave our booking name. At that point I would have been tempted to leave but really could do nothing at that point in time so accepted a very disappointing evening spoiling my wife’s birthday. Never again.

Ordered the fried Brie as starter. Coating overcooked, hard and dark very disappointing. Had the mushroom tagliatelle asked for parmasan cheese as pasta meal bland and tasteless. Informed that they did not have parmasan. Reported to waitress that pasta dish was bland and tasteless she said that other customers had said the same thing and she would pass it onto the kitchen. Most of the main meal I left. Dessert was delicious. Previously have always been very happy with food this time it was beyond disappointment.

Lovely food. Reasonable prices. Great selection of drinks. Attentive staff.

Amazing quality. Warm and homely open fires

Fabulous food. Beautiful surroundings. Would absolutely recommend

Food was ok, was expecting it to be spectaculat.

Love this place so much. My wife had had a tough time in work last week and I booked this to raise her spirits and it's worked, thank you! I have never had a bad meal here or experience. Kind regards

The waiter staff were brilliant, great service, food was abit cold but overall a lovely place for a family gathering

Excellent service. Fantastic atmosphere.
