The Red Fox in Wirral

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

"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!"

Fabulous food and great ambience

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!!!

Excellent meal and a lovely venue

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!

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

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!

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.

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

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

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 😊

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

Called in for ‘ light bite ‘ lunch on way home from Hospital. Quiet and full of character, excellent choice of food and drinks. Really relaxed and enjoyable visit, a real quality treat . Will be visiting again soon for dinner .

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

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.

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.

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.

16 of us had an excellent family dinner. Lovely setting and great food.

Great, friendly staff and amazing food

Came for a party celebration table of 14 in Sept 2024 we had booked the table in well advance and when we approached the waitress to find out where we were to be seated she was very rude and said go and wait in the bar ok we let that go…. not being here before we didn’t know the rules Then seated and all ordered our dinner, Sunday dinner arrived some dinners had half the stuff missing off the plates so we had to ask for the rest of food that should of been on the plate in the first place Really disappointed with the food the roast potatoes were rock hard you couldn’t even cut into them The setting of the restaurant is lovely shame about service and food I would not return or recommend

Welcoming place, good menu with plenty of choice. Meal well prepared and presented, very tasty. . Good lunch 😋

Nice food attentive staff. Very welcoming.

Great place for a drink. Friendly staff and dog friendly. Reasonably priced and a good selection of drinks. Great outdoor seating and garden area

It wasn't a planned visit but what a treat it was. Amazing place, beautiful interior, great service and delicious food. You won't be disappointed. They also have vegetarian choices. Halloumi fries were to die for. We ordered mushroom soup and it was full of flavour! And the roll was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and still warm. Yummy. I would highly recommend this place.

Attended a charity meet for Cars and Coffee, had some lovely cake stands and coffee whilst looking at some nice cars

We have often visited in the past and been very pleased with all aspects of the Red Fox but were very disappointed on this occasion

Visited today for my Dad's 95th birthday in a party of 9. In general staff were not very welcoming, service was extremely slow and inattentive, placing of the plates on the table (when it came) was then very rushed as was questions regarding sauces that may be required and food quality was underwhelming. Very poor customer attention. Have been previously of an evening and had a much better experience. Today's visit fell way short of that. A 'busy Sunday' is no excuse for poor people skills (not every staff member)

Our 1st but definitely not last visit

Lovely afternoon tea spoiled by a dirty te.pot spout under lid and down the sided obviously hadn't been washed properly we didn't complain because the afternoon tea was lovely

Quality food and for a gastropub top class selection of beer

A favourite with me and my wife. Always excellent food (crispy beef salad, I need say no more), excellent service, and excellent atmosphere.

Absolutely fantastic. Wonderful beer with very knowledgeable, passionate bar people. Amazing food, all 9 of us with different meals and all amazing Lovely grounds with plenty to keep the kids entertained. Definitely worth a visit

Always enjoy going to the Red Fox but had such a good experience last night for our son’s birthday we wanted to leave a review. Whole family loved their food (Korean chicken burger was delicious), always a classy and varied beer selection and the service was perfect. Booked for a birthday meal out and we got a good table, great atmosphere and were made to feel really welcome.

Nice food, good service and very nice layout/decor.

I am a big fan of the Brunning and Price brand, and always know that the food will be good (and sometimes great). The Red Fox didn’t disappoint. The braised beef feather was wonderful, with a rich gravy. I have also worked out that four courses can be managed by ordering a small desert with coffee and a nose of cheese …… with friendly and helpful staff, it was a delightful meal

I've been the Red Fox a few times and have never been disappointed

Exceptional food and service at a wonderful venue.

Nice place, lovely food that is well presented but slightly higher priced than it should be. Worth a visit though.

We went for a party and hired out the little fox next-door. The staff were very nice and the area was amazing, the garden was great and the room was large. The food that we had was very good lots of people raved about the chips.

Food was lovely, but I was a bit disappointed as it said all the roasts come with seasonal veg and roast potatoes. I ordered the nut roast and asked for a yorkshire pudding to go with it. The nut roast come with hassleback potatoes not roastand I was never got my yorkshire pudding. Despite it being put on the bill. There didn't seem to be set staff for set tables as we had several different members of staff serve us. Food was lovely and worth the money. Just a shame the menu wasn't what was given and extras never received.

Really nice venue in pretty surroundings. Food was good, though a little over priced if I'm honest.

Went to the sausage and cider festival, great atmosphere and live music too 😄

5 star all day, and lovely outdoor experience.

Great food even if a bit pricey these days?

Lovely afternoon tea here with a good friend everything was fresh and nicely presented. Had to wait a while for our pot of tea but other than that it was very pleasant. Plenty of parking even though it was extremely busy

Stopped by for a light bite and a drink. Good service in lovely surroundings. Food was lovely.

As per usual, pleasant staff, excellent selection of ale Had a change of dish this time and ordered a chilli crispy beef salad. Slight hint to your kitchen. This dish is common out in the far east, however when you pour chilli sauce over the crispy beef it no longer remains crispy.

Lovely food and not too pricey. Very spacious with inside and outside eating and drinking areas. Have been many times.

Great food,atmosphere and lovely staff.

Great food with LOTS of gluten-free choices. Friendly, pleasant and helpful staff. Gluten-free draft beers. Dog-friendly. Relaxed and classy ambience. Perfect! ... as are all the Brunning & Price pubs I've been to. Highly recommended

Gorgeous food every time, great choice, friendly helpful staff, big car park and dog friendly sections. I had their mixed roast today it was delicious as always. One of my favourite places to go

Had the most fabulous crispy chilli beef salad at the Red Fox today. Best thing I’ve tasted in years. Always a pleasure visiting this place with great staff and an incredible friendly atmosphere.

Beautiful location and excellent service from friendly staff.

Probably the best pub food ive ever had and the location is stunning

Always wonderful, busy in there at the moment, make sure you've booked

Nice ambience and surroundings, afternoon was lovely, really good customer service, staff were attentive but not overly

Lovely food very friendly staff

Excellent food service and staff Highly recommended

Beautiful food and plenty of choice, I always clear my plate and never have any complaints. It is also dog friendly with separate dining areas. Plenty of parking, the staff are always very polite, helpful and friendly A must visit if you are in the area

Vegan roast is beautiful. What a lovely place.

Great food and drinks at the 🦊 highly recommended.
