The Travellers Rest in Wirral

Went here for the 2 for 1 pizza night tonight with a friend. Lovely home made pizzas with attentive friendly service. Great value too! Thank you!

Ok for drinks. The bar staff are attentive and good. The quiz man however made me uncomfortable. Every week at the quiz he would tell everyone on the microphone how he would smash all the women on the picture round. I just sat there disgusted. He does the quiz with his wife, and other family members and he says things like that? When it came to the tickets. One of them was a pink ticket and he kept saying "i love a pink rim". The man was a creep and looked like one aswell. Also the pub is so old fashioned and is suited to decades ago when everyone was thinner. Now most people are obese or overweight, one huge man was blocking the way out. It was a health and safety hazard to be honest. I put a review on here because the owner takes offence to any constructive criticism, just look at the reviews on google

Food steak pie and cod with chips. Fish was OK but pie was Small and bland and was floating in a sea of Thin gravy. a waste of £30 will not go back.

We regularly visit the travellers rest, they serve lovely home cooked food, the service is grest, good selection of drinks in a cosy classic pub environment.

We booked a Christmas party for 17 of us on Saturday. We were allocated a side room next to the bar. All went really well, food, drinks, table decs and service superb. Good genuine, no nonsense pub. Thoroughly recommend.

Had chillie really feel awful to review but it was tasteless and a very small portion husband had madras curry he said it was a lovely curry but too small a portion for adults

Service excellent. Food excellent and the daughters loved the dogs. Very friendly place. Food not cheap but worth it.

Been here several times for food can't fault the service and the food always friendly staff food also hot when we have visited worth booking a table if going for food also dog friendly will return

Lovely Sunday lunch Excellent portions Yummy Yorkshire pudding Followed by lovely apple pie and ice cream and a delicious sticky toffee pudding ,not home made but Yummy

Lovely staff - Cosy atmosphere. A quirky, small pub on a road to nowhere with an interesting menu from British pub food to Thai green curry.

I’ve been here mid week and it has been great because I can take my dog in. But went today (Saturday) and there appears to be all new staff or at least different to my last few visits. When I sat at my table I noticed it was sticky and dirty. On the table next to me a girl spilled some of her food on the table, she did a quick wipe with her serviette so it didn’t look too bad. When they left, the barman removed their plates and glasses and put some more condiments on the table. Not only did he not spray the table, he didn’t even wipe it. I thought he’d come back to it but no. I watched two further groups of people leave and watched the barman repeat the exact thing, not even a cloth in hand. New customers arrived and sat at these tables and I just wondered to myself if I was being fussy or is it because when we had Covid about, we were concerned about hygiene but now it’s gone, so have the standards.

Excellent traditional pub.. very good beer/lager,food and staff. Also in a location near Storeton Woods, the Wirral countryside and the motorway..

My wife and I (as previously commented) now visit the Travellers Rest on a semi regular basis. Beer is of a high standard, and choice of lagers, etc very good. The food is excellent, and good value. Aside from the usual array of pub favourites, the (boxed) Pizzas are awesome. I have raved about pizzas in several of my reviews, some in the uk, and some overseas. I now find the highest of standards and top 5 pizzas are available on my doorstep (fresh ingredients, home made base). Like pizza? Like the Travellers :)

We came across The travellers Rest after a walk in the woods. The bar staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The food is excellent & value for money. Highly recommend the lasagna or beef pie, large portions and delicious. The pub is very dog friendly, with water bowls and treats available. Beer is well kept. Overall a very good pub with excellent food

Partially refurbished during the Covid lockdown, the Travellers is vastly improved. First and foremost as a pub, the choice and quality of ales is impressive, (likewise all beers, lagers and wine) the food is very good, quality pub grub. Our visits have increased 4X since lockdown, and will continue.

Great in here. We live locally and wander up for a pint or two and some food quite often. Usually get the nachos and there is plenty to keep two people happy. Loads of salsa etc which is usually my gripe with other places. Great atmosphere. Dog friendly too. Tried a pizza the other day and it was lovely, my only tip to improve would be to swap cheddar for mozzarella.

In this world of cororate alcohol dispensaries it has become harder to find a real, traditional British inn but here is a perfect example of that rarity. Wonderful location opposite woodland and countryside walks through lush farmland, dog friendly (another rairty) , great range of...

Me and my sister stopped for a late lunch, unreal sandwhiches, lots of choice and ordered side of chunky chips...best chips I've ever had!!

Had a lovely family tea, few gluten free options all really nice. Great value and very good at all the covid measures.

Rang at 12:30 for 2 beef roast dinners and was told was available to pick up at 12:45. Staff very polite and the food was really nice and tasty. Plenty in tray and was very satisfied with meal

The food is excellent and the service is friendly and helpful. A good selection of real ales and other drinks

We came here to meet up with friends after a muddy walk around the area. We had a great Sunday roast and it was proper, home-cooked food and delicious desserts. Our dog enjoyed the free dog biscuits from behind the bar too and made some...

Another great visit from 8000 miles away to this absolute gem of a traditional English Inn! As usual a warm and friendly welcome from Gill, Keith and all the staff. The customers are friendly too and add to the great atmosphere. The menu is extensive...

I had had many lovely meals here over the last year , but the last time we visited the quality was poor . So much so we have decided to draw a line under it and have switched to new local Indian restaurant instead

I went here with friends for lunch. It’s very hit and miss with the food depending who’s on. I wouldn’t recommend going here, most of the staff are pleasant but the owner Keith does not like anyone giving constructive criticism. If the food is poor...

Went with friends after not been for awhile due to having verbal abuse from the kitchen girl ! Reported it to the manager Keith who was very rude intimidating told me he used to be in the police which was used in a threatening way ! We all felt frightened and upset he told me to never come back ! And the rest of his staff where rude the food is stale all the time and pricey ! Used to be lovely when the last owners had the pub

The mixed grill cannot be faulted, there is a lot of food in this meal and chips, cooked beautifully and enjoyed in a very pleasant atmosphere.

Decoration of this pub is decades overdue but the atmosphere, which gets better the busier it is, usually makes up for it. However, if you don't like dogs this pub is to be avoided, particularly if you want to eat, as there is no area set aside for those who may not be dog lovers, or just like to eat without their smell.

This pub is so good I travel 8000 miles to visit it and believe me it is worth every single yard of the journey! You will be hard pressed to find another pub like it in the area as most of the quainter pubs have been turned into gastro emporiums with prices to match and impersonal service. Here you will find a pub as it should be, great real ales with lots of variety, chilled lagers, fine wine and a fantastic selection of spirits including all the Gins you will ever want. The Travs always had a great reputation for friendliness, good food and a great selection of drinks and Keith and Gill have gone on to develop that further. Importantly too in a world where dog owners are being made to feel like criminals you will find a great welcome here for you and your dog. I cannot wait till my next trip!

We had a lovely walk in Storeton Woods and thought we would call in for a bite to eat. I ordered the ham shank soup (I've eaten this before and it was always delicious) unfortunately, it was terrible this time. There was absolutely no flavour. My husband ordered a ham & cheese toastie. This came out as ham & stilton! He had to send it back. He doesn't like stilton cheese. Our dog was welcome though water bowl and fresh water provided and the beer was excellent. We had Wainwright's. Staff were lovely but when taking away a half eaten bowl of soup, you would think someone might have said, did you not enjoy the soup? We will be back but for drinks only.

Just had the worst Chicken Korma (Special) I’ve ever had. Wife had Sausage and Mash. (Requested Beens, got Peas) sausage bearable but mash terrible, Peas tasteless and the Onion gravy I was told was the case was just Brown water... Left 90% of the meals. Just took them away. Not a mention of “how is your meal” or no comments on the near full meals going back. Not bothered. We will not be darkening their doorstep again.

I was more than delighted to have a very good dining experience with my wife & son in what is our local. Despite drinking in the Travellers for over 30 years, I have rarely dined there (mainly due to the fact that until recently food was only available at lunchtime) and it has been many years since I last ate here. However, that will now changed.

Lunch here with two friends. Great food, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and always willing to stop by and chat. Very laid back and not in a hurry to get you moving on after eating

Fantastic as always, staff are lovely and very helpful. The quality of veg is excellent an the meat is to die for, it just melts in your mouth. Would highly recommend to everyone

Brought myself, my partner and my dog. Ordered the lamb roast, great value for the quality of the food and what definitely tastes like home made gravy. Atmosphere was great, comfortable and homely, just what's needed after a walk in the woods. Would definitely recommend to anyone for a relaxing end to a Sunday.

Went here for lunch and craft beers. Both very good. The home made soup was heavenly. Pub is charming and very old. Service was very friendly. Returning tonight for drinks.

Home cooked food, wide choice of beers and friendly atmosphere. Would recommend this place..it's as good now I'm 60 as it was when I first went when I was old enough to drink!

Great pub with friendly staff and a great atmosphere. The selection of real ales is second to none and the food is also excellent.

Made yet another visit here this time with my youngest daughter. She was peckish and just wanted a ham sandwich. Could not believe her eyes when it arrived! Six lovely sandwiches on really fresh bread and packed full of delicious home cooked ham accompanied by a generous portion of delicious coleslaw and really fresh crispy salad! A meal in itself for only £4.50! No wonder this pub is becoming more and more popular!

Delightful ambience of an old English pub ,friendly staff ,good ale and excellent cooking that has been constant for the last 40 yrs .

Old fashioned pub with a mixed age group of customers. Reasonable drink prices. We haven't eaten there yet but look forward to trying the menu soon.

beautiful little rest food lovely and plentiful drinks not expensive the added bonus beautiful dogs ,we shared our evening with a beautiful well behaved labrador

My husband and I visited here we only live down the road so this is an ideal place to come for a drink, we also ordered food my husband had a burger and I choose the sausage dinner both where delicious, lovely beer (apparently i don't drink it but my husband does) lovely friendly atmosphere staff are all lovely aswel. Would definitely recommend.

First time we’ve eaten here and will certainly return. Plenty of choice and cooked to order with reasonable prices. The Thai red chicken curry was very palatable washed down with a cider !

To my shame, I have lived close to The Travellers Rest for five years but last visited there in my late teens, over thirty years ago! What a shame, the staff were lovely, the beer well kept with plenty of choice, and the food excellent. Both my wife and I opted for the burgers - we were both amazed at how good they were. I have been to trendy burger bars in Liverpool and other towns but little did I know that the best burger was waiting just round the corner - at half the price! They were freshly prepared and properly flame grilled, tasting like they had just come off the BBQ - brilliant. We will be going back soon. We cannot comment on the other food but watch this space. Go and try a burger and a pint early evening - you will not be disappointed .

My wife & I called in for an early lunch. Cosy atmosphere with coal fire lit. We both had ham sandwich & a portion of chips. Ham was gorgeous. Great local.

We've been here a few times over Christmas/New Year as a family and have also been to a family christening party here and each time we've enjoyed our visit. We've also enjoyed the odd spot of lunch here too. Our most recent visit was with my parents on the eve of the Liverpool Half Marathon. The pub looks inviting from the outside and is very traditional in decor. Good range of beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks. The food menu isn't huge but there is something on there for everyone. We'd recommend the steak pie (absolutely crammed with meat!), the gammon, the lasagne and the mixed grill. Very reasonable prices and waiting time is what you'd expect for home cooked food. We would recommend and will be returning!

Our new local. Been here a few times. Always busy, mixed ages and good atmosphere. Some staff seem stern.... a smile would be good. Not eaten here yet but food seems popular with many.

Yep it's good pub grub, not too long to wait and service with a smile we'll be going again menu as you might expect, no surprises but I don't always like surprises

Thought taking my mum with Alzheimer’s and our dog with us for lunch for a nice change of scenery, sadly the staff where very unfriendly, no sign of a hello or smile at all. Most staff appeared to just stand behind the bar talking.

Our latest trip to the Travs, which is under new management was absolutely up to the standard it has always been. Polite friendly staff always welcome you in, the people in there are very socialable too. The range of real ale is very good not to mention the range of lagers and other tipples. They have an all day menu (up until 7ish) I think and if you don’t want a meal, they do a good range of crisp, nuts and other snack bites. The quiz on a Monday night is a good challenge. With the music in the background it all makes for a great venue for a pint and a great pub to relax in.

Food is tasty, hot and plentiful. Staff friendly. Pub warm, cosy and welcoming. Not happy that dogs are now allowed inside.

This pub is a real rarity, a true real pub in every way. No corporate eating emporium here, just a real friendly little local that serves fantastic home cooked food, excellent real ales, a variety of chilled lagers, great selection of wines and spirits and a blazing log fire! The staff are very welcoming as are the regulars. Dogs are welcome too, a real rarity these days. Keith and Gill are the most welcoming hosts you will ever find and take a real interest in everyone who comes in. No better way to relax after a lovely walk in the woods across than to sit in the comfortable cosy rooms or at the bar with a drink and enjoy the warm welcome. Best chips you will find anywhere too!

Typical old fashioned pub which could do with freshening up (but still keeping the atmosphere, after all it is an old site). Positives include the surprisingly good food, fairly quick service, good range of beers. Negatives include staff need to come across as welcoming and learn to smile. I don’t think the barmaid smiled once and neither did the man behind the bar. This is quite a cliquey pub and if you aren’t one of the regulars you don’t particularly feel welcomed. Not sure if I would go back which is a shame as it’s on the doorstep for us but who wants to visit somewhere you don’t feel welcome

We were here from Australia visiting relatives. We always used to like coming to this pub, last time was in 2015 and staff were lovely. This time we were greeted by a very miserable bar girl long blonde hair. Very standoffish didn’t smile once. When we left and said thank you, she gave us no eye contact and a half hearted bye. Will return in a couple of years when she’s gone hopefully. Pub was cold also, gone down hill

A very nice experience. The Staff, Food, and beer are very good. This small local pub is pleasant if a little dated. It was a quiet Saturday lunch time and we enjoyed our lunch very much. Fully recommended and I will return.

Cannot recommend this place highly enough staff and management absolutely first class. Very accommodating and understanding, food and service excellent. Special thanks to the landlord for clearly setting out to provide his customers with a first class service even if that means compromising his own profit.

Traditional pub serving good pub grub. Meals are huge and well cooked. They are happy for my kids to share a meal and they have big appitites and its more than enough. Great range of guest ales and friendly staff. Plus always warm on a cold day with its lovely open fire.

Went for lunch on recommendation from friends. This place is in a time warp. Pub was quite full but managed to find a table. Placed order at the bar ordering 1 starter, 2 mains, sides and tea and coffee ( driving). Drinks took 15 minutes to arrive and my coffee was just warm waitress asked did ask if we wanted the starter first or all together with the mains, we asked for the starter to be served first. 10 minutes later all food arrived including the starter, explained that we had asked for this to be served first but it was to late now, sides did not arrive either, but could not be bothered to complain. I had ordered the vegetarian enchiladas this was what I would describe as lasagna sheets with what looked like ratatouille inside, not presented well or tasted well either but the baked potato was nice. My husband chose the ham, peas and chips. Ham was cut from the bone and served in thick slices he enjoyed his meal. Would I visit again, no, there was no choice for vegetarians.

Second visit in two weeks. Friendly polite staff and excellent food for a puband presented well. Highly reccomended.

We must admit we have driven past this place for several years even though it advertises food which is our main reason for visits..Their are a number of other food places within easy distance lower down the road however we decided to try it even though parking very close was a problem and were quite surprised as it seemed nicer inside than its outside appearance. Food menu is good and beer choices even better. Well worth stopping if you want quality food. Again I suggest a booking in advance.

The Travellers Rest is an olde worlde pub providing modern comforts and first rate meals. We called here hoping to be able to get a table; our luck was in! Our party of three was easily accommodated in the deceptively spacious interior. The menu consists of mainly classic pub meals. One of our group had Mixed Grill, a lovely array of meats accompanied by chips and the usual trimmings. The second member of our group opted for Lasagne with salad. I elected to try the steak pie with a small quantity of chips. When this arrived the chips were as requested but the quantities of carrots and peas were, to say the least, generous!

Fuimos para un largo paseo perro y estuvimos aquí para rápido pinta y refrescarse. Muy amable, simpático y gran perro menú (muchas opciones) los vegetarianos. No nos quedamos para la comida, sin embargo esta vez sin duda volveremos.

Noté que había empezado a hacer la comida un domingo así que pensé dar id el lugar.

Spent around 4 hours in this pub today , had a brilliant time , it's right opposite storeton woods , so you can actually take your dog for a walk between rounds . Staff are very friendly , loads of real ales and 2 ciders , thatchers , and something pig ha ha , had too many of them so forgot the name.

4 of us took my mum for her 67th birthday in early Feb. We're not "locals" but we live local and the Travs has always been good for lunch so we thought we'd try an evening meal. Small-ish menu but there was a nice sounding mixed grill on there. We were told it wasn't available so we ordered 3 steaks and a Thai chicken curry. Can't complain about the steaks but we ordered 3 x posh sauces which didn't arrive. When we asked about them, we were brought 1 very small pot of weird gravy-granules-mustard sauce and told "that's 3 portions!". Ok, it's not the end of the world. Until our friend eating the Thai curry bit into a piece of tough wrapping plastic in his meal. We mentioned it all to the nice girl who was serving and she just said "I'm so sorry". That was it. Genuine review from a genuine Bebington resident. I brought my old Mum there for a nice time and they let us down. Sorry.

This pub boasts the best of everything, woods and fields across the road but shops, buses and rail within an easy distance. Add to that superb food in huge portions, great range of hand pulled beers, ice cold lagers, wines, spirits and liquors, friendly welcoming staff and a cosy interior and you cannot possibly go wrong. Such a refreshing change from the usual corporate eating houses, but the food does not cost the earth. Now in the hands of the second generation of the same family the Trav's looks set to keep its standards high way into this century. Whether a quiet pint, cosy meal or family celebration, you will enjoy your stay here and be back for more.

The choice was pork or beef so we went with one of each. Both were excellent. They both came with a large jug of Gravy which was clearly different for each of the meats- very tasty. A good selection of vegetables which were not over cooked. Roasties were crispy. There's always a great selection of beer for us real ale lovers, but lager and cider fans are equally well catered for. Service was friendly and quick. Fully recommended

Friendly pub with traditional beers, but the food is the nicest on the wirral.I would recommend very highly.

Really enjoyed our meal last Monday lunchtime. Staff were really helpful and friendly. We didn't have to wait long at all.

Enjoy poping inn. Great now food times extended. Great range of beers. Layout great for couples and small groups

Having lived in the area all our lives and having passed it hundreds of times, we decided to go for a midday meal at the the Travellers Rest, once just a pub but now serving meals as well. A good decision. Very friendly host. Lovely atmosphere. A typical olde worlde place. Food was great for us all with no complaints. I enjoyed my homemade apple pie. I wanted to try a new beer, and without hesitation the host offered me a sample in a glass to see if I would like a full pint. Prices are also very good. We will certainly go back..

Great food but make sure you don't eat all day as the portion are big .All home made food . Had steak pie served with chips and veg it was to big to eat . Well worth the money the team and customer serves is brilliant can not fault them . The range of cask ale is also good .

to small terrible place ..old mans pub. in the worst spot also , u step out right by a really busy road.AVOID THIS PLACE.. to busy for a small pub and was told to leave for nithin just after id been served

Really good food at great prices. Excellent place to eat. Cannot think of any time I have been disappointed here

This place never fails to please .Great atmosphere in cosy surroundings .Food choice lovely always fresh and well presented . We had sandwiches salad and coleslaw with a side order of chips .Very enjoyable and would continue to visit this venue .

We have been into the Travellers on several occasions. We always receive a very warm welcome from the staff and the patrons. Great ales for my hubby and an excellent G&T for me. Lunch is wonderful....great value for money. The chips are soooo good, and there are loads of them! It's clean on the inside and the recent fresh exterior paint shows the importance of appearance to its customers. Such a lovely pub, my only wish is that there was a little bit better wine selection--but for now, I will be very happy with my gin and tonic, and my hubby is THRILLED with the Timothy Taylor beer as well as other selections.

Excellent ales and high quality food. Service is with a smile by people that appreciate your custom.See you next Friday.

met an old friend for lunch and catch up at this pub. Atmosphere always lovely and staff pleasant and professional .We had sandwiches served with salad and coleslaw and a side order of chips . Food well presented and tasty plenty of filling in the sandwich and a good portion of chips . In all a great character pub to meet friends as has an intimate atmosphere.

A nice local pub, good staff and beer is always well kept and pleasant. Best pub in local area for beer and service.

Great little local pub with food food at lunch time and great range of drinks all the timeTry it you will not be disappointed.The staff are brilliant.

One of the few Wirral pubs that I have no hesitation in recommending to friends and relations. The beers, lagers and ciders are well kept and the food is good and reasonably priced. Why this pub is not in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide is a mystery.

Had a mid week lunch with a mate. Both had a curry and a pint. Mine (Thai green) was very good, served with well sized portions of rice and chips with a nann bread. Good choice of beers and friendly staff. Will be calling again.

Had a lovely meal food was hot and fresh. The cod and chips were great real home cooked chips which was a nice change to frozen ones. Good service and warm welcome. Good prices.

This is a great pup if you want a top lunch the the staff are fantastic and the place is spotless the food is is fresh and plenty of it starter soup ten out of ten main meal recommend the fish and chips out of this world cooked to perfection good selection of beer and wine etc highly recommend

Great local drinking house with good food at lunch time, real ale and superb staff.Great meeting place for lads or couples. Plenty of character and characters

Without shadow of a doubt the best quality and fairest priced meals on the Wirral - as a family we have been to a great many and believe me some long overdue reviews will follow shortly.The Travellers is quality, prompt service, done with a smile and an all round pleasant experience.A little more expensive at the bar than some other local pubs that offer quality real ale but always a good selection and the nice atmosphere more than compensates any extra outlay.

We have visited the Travellers in the past and have always enjoyed our visit with extremely friendly and helpful staff. food is excellent and service was quick. Our recent visit was again, spot on, as was the Guinness.

In love with this little pub, we go for a drink regularly and the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming and the staff are always friendly. I love the old look of the place and the history. Would recommend this pub to anyone!

Love this little pub and its traditional interior, plenty of laughs had here with the family, even better with no phone ignore so there is no distraction! Really can't complain about prices, absolutely cheap as heck for most, and the quiz nights are a laugh...we get pretty competitive in the corner, especially since you can't google! Just a good old nice chilled pub you can wind down in. Its a great catch up place for our family and has been for a year and a half now.

called in with the wife for a quick drink. Big widescreen telly and a range of guest beers and lagers. Food served but limited times. O,K for a pint after work but not on date night!

Met friends there for a birthday meal. Ordered the mixed grill and asked for steak rare to medium. When it arrived everything was ovecooked and saw the "chef " leave almost immediately. Was going up to complain but my friend said enjoy my treat so that compromised me. Used to be a good meal there but I won't waste time or money going again.

I agree with the eternaloptimist14 this pub has lost it's way. Very popular and highly rated at one time. The Trappers Hat can be very up and down ... considering it's only brewed down the road ..... not a good advert for Brimstage Brewery. Reckon a new licensee could breathe new life into The Travis.

This is a nice pub that has lost its way. It feels neglected and on busy nights appears understaffed. As a pub with a past reputation for decent beers the expensive lagers were flat and served in glasses straight out of the dishwasher without a moment to cool down. It appears that nobody really cares anymore but I would hope that with a little tic and regained enthusiasm it could return to the popular, busy local fondly remembered by absent regulars.
