We were very impressed with the service provided. The menu was comprehensive and the food was amazing. Thanks to Carol who has exceptional customer service skills. Nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely go back and wholeheartedly recommend The wayfarer to anybody who loves their food! Jude & Alan Atherton.

We were placed in the conservatory,from which we could see rubble /broken pieces of wood / metal ( all around the front of the building ) .. needs tidying up & clearing ! Not very nice to look out onto ,especially as we'd taken guests . Staff moving furniture around to accommodate a large group.then moved it back ,then moved it again THEN moved it back again ! all right next to us . Sadly ,we won't be returning ,even tho we have been before & sang your praises to our guests ,prior to our visit . Our serving staff were very professional & courteous ,shame these other areas are letting them down .

Came here for the first time yesterday with family. The food and service were very good. The fish was beautiful. Crispy batter and white inside. My husband liked the real ales on offer. We would have given 5 out of 5 if it hadn’t been for the chocolate tart. It is advertised as a sharing pudding but my husband and son both said it isn’t big enough for a sharer. We will definitely return. Like the fact it is also dog friendly as we had two dogs with us

We attended as a group of three for Sunday Lunch and weren’t left disappointed. My partner and I shared the two person platter and it was fantastic. Plenty to share with a good mixture of meats and vegetables with very generously sized Yorkshire puddings and gravy. The staff were attentive and polite. We were never left waiting long at all for anything that we required. Our food was with us very quickly. Very pleased. We will be back again.

This accessible venue never disappoints. The menu of freshly prepared, local (often from the veg patches adjacent to the pub) food has something to suit everyone. The homebrewed beer is perfection with Rapscallion and Vaccine my favourites. The staff are the ultimate professionals: attentive but unobtrusive.

Never returning!!!! 2years Iv lived over here. I had friends drive 6hours from London to come the beer festival it was planned months in advance. We asked for the restaurant in the back corner, not one other person was in the room everyone was outside for the festival after 6hour drive from London people was hungry. 40mins we was sat talking then we went to go the bar to put in our food order. The manager some women came over and said there had been quite a few complaints off customers over how loud we was. Just 40mins we was there an no one at the time was sat in the back room personally I think the manager doesn’t like scousers!!!! We had a £300 food order to put in after this comment off the manager we left sorry but not giving a place my well earned money where we are made to feel unwelcome. While outside waiting for taxis I only seen 3 other people outside waiting for taxis. They said they was asked to leave for being loud unfortunately these was another 3scousers. It seemed they didn’t want scousers in their pub. I will never return to this pub so christmas dinner is now cancelled. Thank you for a unforgettable experience

I had 10oz Sirloin followed by a Blondie.Dad had Gammon followed by Cheesecake and John had Chicken, bacon and potato pie followed by Cheesecake. Yet again a very good chef who cook a well done steak without cremating, we all enjoy the food and it's definitely worth a visit 😋

Don't even bother with this place,they are ripping people off,myself&my lovely other half visited for my birthday. We ordered the sunday platter for 2 people&what a absolute disgrace,it came out with 3 small pieces of beef cut as thin as wafer ham&was the size of a small biscuit,one small chicken leg&a small piece of cheap pork which was covered in fat,i did complain&it was met with a shocked attitude. Only for my other half booking for my birthday I would of walked out. I don't normally complain but for £38 for the platter I was disgusted!! It's a good job i didnt take any pictures for there sake,anyway we didnt hang around for deserts for further disappointment. I wish we had visited Miller&Carter instead,which we normally do for birthdays,but thought we would try somewhere different. I would recommend this business deal with this issue of portions immediately or they won't have a business food wise!!!

Nice welcome, showed to the table very quickly. The food was very good.

Really lovely setting in a nice location, we dined on a Sunday so opted to have a 3 course menu. Starter & Desert were ok. Sorry to say that they weren’t overly tasty & we wouldn’t have them again (Garlic Mushroom Starter had barely any sauce & the Banoffe Tart / Pie didn’t taste of banana or toffee it tasted more like an egg custard) The actual roast dinner was nice, but it was cold & had barely any veg (Really nice Yorkshire puds & roasties) The pub & restaurant were super busy so this maybe why we didn’t have the best food experience. We will return again mid week as we did like the environment and the staff were really friendly - perhaps next time we will enjoy the food a little more.

This is the third time we have eaten at the Wayfayrer. I was wrong to give it another chance. Poor quality food again. It’s fairly obvious that they need to employ an actual chef. It seems that the food is just catering supplier frozen / reheated rubbish. Don’t risk it, you will regret it.

Staff were brilliant, ensuring everything was correct as serving 14 people including children is not at all easy. Feedback from everyone in attendance was that the food and drink was great, and the staff could not do any more than they did. A massive thank you, and looking forward to returning in the future.

We stopped here on the chance there would be a free table with our puppy as it always seems so busy and we’ve been meaning to go for a while. The staff were friendly and polite and seated us as we walked in which was great, however after 20 minutes wait, no one had come to our table and the place was rather quiet so this didn’t really compute why no one had served us even for drinks. We ended up leaving to go to our local which is a bit disappointing.

We have visited this beautiful pub before many times. Today's visit was to meet family and it was dog friendly which is great. However, the food wasn't as great as it has been before. The steak and ale pie used to be served in ceramic pots with a puff pastry lid, it was beautiful and only thing I will eat on the menu. Its not the same now, albeit still nice, just not as nice. The beer batter on the fish was thick and greasy also. I did want pudding and I wanted sticky toffee pudding but it was served with ice cream and not custard so I didn't have any. Probably won't go again. Staff lovely and pub/brewery great.

I went to The Wayfarer in Parbold on Friday 25th July at 4.30pm for the wake of my very dear friend's husband James. There were 40 guests with a sit down meal of lasagne or steak pie followed by creme caramel or apple strudle. This was over £750.00 The meat was hard and under cooked and not edible and the lasagne was'nt brilliant either. My friend complained about this and the cost, but the propriater told her in no uncertain terms was not she leaving the building without paying the full amount, he was not in the least empathetic in anyway, shape or form. My friend had her last family funeral here and has regularly eaten here every week in the past for many years, she will not be going again and neither will anyone else. They have lost a lot of custom now and I would'nt personally recommend it to anyone now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a really good pub struggling to escape from a below average experience here. At this point I would add that the female bar staff and the beer are excellent. The issues come about in regards to the food and food service. As an...

We had a really nice table, though there were eight of us, you didn't feel squashed. The restaurant was full, but you didn't feel you were shouting at each other. The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The only reason...

Upon entering the restaurant, before we had sat down, we were asked what we would like to drink, without sitting down, let alone seeing a menu. The cocktails were appalling and had absolutely nothing to them. The popping candy was non-existent and the glass to...

Went with friends last night for dinner. Had two large parties in the restaurant. Food was good but staff seem very disorganised. Left without ordering dessert as all the staff were caught up with one party paying separate bills. Disappointing as in the past had...

This is the first time we have visited The Wayfarer having booked it on chance as a Sunday Lunch venue following a walk in the area with a group of friends. The area is new to us so we had no expectations of The Wayfarer....

Easily the best roast in the area - good choice, good execution, decent staff, good atmosphere. Only slight downside is the car park can fill up quickly but I suppose that is also a good sign!

Hadn’t visited for a while and decided to go for a Sunday roast. No Yorkshire puddings left ….. how easy are they to make?? Saw lots of beef dinners come out of the kitchen after mine so it was more than worthwhile to make some...

Have always loved visiting this pub but it definitely wasn’t quite as good as previous visits . The service was good and we enjoyed our meals overall but the menu was more limited and the Thai chicken curry was nothing like a Thai chicken curry...

Arrived early but no problem - greeted by friendly staff and free Prosecco. Great food and perfectly paired wine. Plenty of booze in the cocktails so on for a winner.

No wonder. Over priced coffee, dirty tables, dirty floors, dirty toilets. What more do you want from your local coffee shop. Good luck to the new Managing Director

BE CAREFUL OF PARKING TIME. Only 30 mins parking allowed and signage isnt obviously visible when you enter. fill up, buy some snack and get a coffee and you could well be over the 30mins limit allowed. Not long enough for a coffee to be drunk at a reasonable pace if 'eating in' Won't be using this again as there is no way to 'refund' for genuine visitors if you receive a ticket.

Setting and service was good but food was disappointing. My wife had a sandwich and the bread looked and tasted like cheap sliced bread. I had a steak and ale 'pie' which turned out to be just a crust topping on a dish. Not what I would call a pie! The meat was either poor quality or badly cooked as it was tough
