The Wheelbarrow in Liverpool

Great location for brunch near to Park. Staff friendly Food limited menu but well cooked and served

Martha was very pleasant and helpful. A really lovely person. I had the cottage pie that was divine, the only problem was there wasn’t enough of it!! The ambiance and vibe of the place was very cosy and we didn’t feel rushed.

Very friendly, lovely atmosphere. Good food and prompt service. Emily the waitress was very friendly and helpful. Dog friendly.

Lovely spot for brunch - really cute windows and setting. Dog friendly - even gave us a doggy sausage. Had a vegetarian breakfast which was delicious, and our waitress Emily was lovely.

Arrived around 12.30 on a Friday for lunch with my daughter and two grandsons. We were given the breakfast menu and the children’s menu. We selected meals for the children but asked for a lunch menu for ourselves to be told that lunch wouldn’t start until 1.20 pm and so had to order breakfast. After waiting a short while our server came back to tell us that the children’s menu also wasn’t available until the later tome too. If the children hadn’t have been so hungry we would have gone elsewhere. The food was nice enough and the servers were friendly but I would think twice next time before planning a lunch out there again.

Fantástico lugar, siempre acogedor, servicial y amable! comida fabulosa y ambiente encantador. Martha, nuestro servidor de hoy fue tan agradable. He estado aquí muchas veces y sin duda recomendaría

Hermosa ubicación, ambiente y encantadora cálida bienvenida y servicio por parte del personal, una pequeña joya escondida tan hermosa entre el parque Sefton y el parque Greenbank. Nos sirvieron por la encantadora Emily y tuvimos salchicha de puerro y huevo en brioche era hermoso, sin duda volveremos!

We've walked past here many times so thought we would try it out after reading some good reviews. The first thing you see when you get in the place is the great selection of cakes spread across the bar. We had a beer and I ordered the Ploughman's lunch and it was an excellent choice. They had a good combination of ham and cheese and pickles with a beautiful sausage roll. There was so much I couldn't eat it all. They did a nice pint of IPA ale to go along with the meal. It has a nice atmosphere and staff. Well worth a visit.

Great restaurant with excellent food and service!

We didn't eat but the service, coffee, and atmosphere were lovely. I'll certainly visit again

Martha was our waitress, very helpful, patient and professional. Lovely food, great surroundings. Recommend to all! Breakfast is excellent.

Martha was brilliant at serving our big party of 10 including kids and dogs - made our Saturday brunch gathering very relaxed and enjoyable!

Has been great service! Patient and friendly with all of us and toddlers. Lovely food and thorough with allergies. Will come back.

The chefs were late the first day I went so I couldn't even have toast - but I enjoyed cake for breakfast! Went again a few days later (the chefs started at 10am) and had lovely artisan toast.

£6 for a bacon butty and coffee. Cheap bacon and bun. Coffee like coffee flavoured water. Staff too busy chatting to each other than paying attention to customers.

Staff friendly and helpful. Pleasant environment. Would like more choice on the breakfast menu for vegans. Couldn't have anything from the lunch/brunch menu before 1pm.

We are from the small lunch menu and the food was excellent. Nice place to eat. The toilets and car park are shared with the leisure centre. Plenty of on the road parking plus a free car park in Sefton Park just along the road. All on one level, no stairs in or out. Disabled toilets.

Visited today and Emily was absolutely amazing💥she is a credit to the place! Had time to have a chat with us and still served others. Amazing service!

Best breakfast around! Lovely chilled vibe, the full English was amazing. Great service. Emily was great!

We only popped in for a drink after it was recommended to us. We sat in the sun in the garden. The drinks were reasonably priced but what we liked the most was the service we received, the staff were so friendly and helpful.

Lovely place for a chat, coffee & cake

We stumbled on the Wheelbarrow while we are looking for the Watering Can (sister cafe) We are so glad we did Beautiful surroundings, lovely coffee and cake and great service Will definitely be going there again!!

Martha an abbie were Amazing service today for me an my friend we ad a lovely Breakfast. 5 star Service from the two girls Mary an lorna

Great food and atmosphere. Lovely staff.

Absolutely fabulous staff. It was fabulous to see how caring they were with all the customers. We were served by Martha who was great. It's a lovely atmosphere and really dog friendly. My two loved their sausages.

Lovely food on the lunch menu as always. Tried most things and can't fault anything everything is so tasty. The chips are superb and a must with the sandwiches. Not to mention the huge cakes for dessert !

The large garden hedges are plastic - totally unjustifiable. I was asked to pay extra if I wanted any bread for my hummus bowl so I wondered if anyone there has ever eaten hummus. You can't just have spoonfuls of the stuff. That's just weird! Tea was lovely though.

Went there for something new to try and was well impressed,food great service great from Leanne

My daughter and I enjoyed a great lunch at this lovely place today. We called in without booking, and it was very busy. A very friendly young man offered us a table outside and even though it was quite cool we said yes. But soon after we sat down he came to tell us that a table had become available inside, so that was great. We enjoyed our lunch very much. But the main thing for us today, was the friendliness and attention from all the staff, they are a credit to the company!

Beautiful venue, the food was wonderful and the staff where a delight will absolutely come again

A gem of a place for lunch or a drink and a slice of cake. Relaxed atmosphere, you definitely aren't rushed. The staff are friendly and the food is lovely and good quality. There is parking outside, including a small amount of disabled parking near the door and they can accommodate wheelchair users. There is a nice outside area at the back if the weather allows

First time here and loved it. Sandwiches were huge, lots of filling so worth the price. Decor and atmosphere great, as wers the staff

I haven't been in greenback for years so seeing the wheelbarrow interior for first time.impressed with the interior and although we only stopped for cup of coffee and desert I enjoyed visit and did so the gentleman I was supporting from our resedential home. The staff were very friendly and polite and although bit more expensive than the normal coffee he has out normally he enjoyed it .

First time here today and pleasantly surprised at how friendly it is. Thank you Alex & Reuben👌 Cottage pie - highly recommended👍

A delicious sandwich for lunch along with a taste of the soup of the day, wonderful food and a great cup of coffee too. Easy parking and nice to have the choice between inside and outside. Always attentive staff who are a credit to the restaurant.

Really good full english, everything cooked perfectly with absolutely fantastic hash browns.

A cafe with a beautiful garden by Sefton Park , great service , even better food I had the posh fish finger sandwich and a really beautiful glass of wine in the sun the atmosphere was lovely , great vibes will definitely visit here more often !! One of the nicest cafes in our area

Great atmosphere, friendly staff but quite average corner cafe type food. Sounded good on the menu, Focaccia with roast chicken and bacon and mayonnaise £11+. Pretty tasteless stringy chicken in mayo on salad, not much sign or flavour of any bacon. Just appeared to be a sandwich filler type product.

This is a great pit stop after a walk around the park. Friendly staff. Lots of food available

I’ve often wondered If I’ve accidentally put my invisibility cloak on, invisible is how you feel when you approach the counter at the wheelbarrow to ask for anything to take away. Unfriendly, slow and simply rude.

Service is very slow and quite formal. Sometimes there is a rope you have to stand behind before getting seated which sort of sums up the place. I would expect a cafe based in a sports centre to be interested in attracting sports centre users, but the Wheelbarrow actively discourages sports centre users. At a sport event, my 11 year old daughter tried to buy a drink and was ignored. I waited 45 minutes once for a beer. Recently, they seem unwilling to let any sports centre users park in the sports centre car park. I understand they want spaces for customers, but more sports centre users would also be customers if they were a bit more welcoming. It's a shame.

Gorgeous cafe in South Liverpool

Excellent breakfast, service, location and atmosphere.

Great find. Excellent menu and the food is amazing 🤩 and the option to sit al fresco

Very pleasant enjoyed it very much

Great little venue. Went for lunch. The ploughman's was absolutely delightful. Will go again. Dog friendly too

Food is great, have been getting the veggie breakfast for a long time and was a good amount of halloumi but the portion sizes have more than halved lately, used to be great, will go elsewhere in future for the price

Great spot close to sefton park with lovely staff and lots of space indoors and out. I love that this place is dog friendly and the staff seem to enjoy the additional furry guests. I can't rave about this place enough. Delicious food, good menu overall, and such charm.

Food was lovely and the atmosphere is really nice. We did have some issues with the order not reaching the kitchen and we had to wait awhile for the lunches to come out. Staff were apologetic and offered to bring us free drinks that didn't make it to us either. I would go back again though as the staff were friendly and I'm sure their intentions were customer focused, just a little forgetful about our table.

Lovely breakfast, full for the rest of the day. Great Service.

We booked in advance as we were a family party of 16 for breakfast . Service was quick and all the food arrived piping hot with a good choice to meet the needs of all .

Great breakfast. Friendly staff. Dog friendly. We really enjoyed our food and the coffee was amazing. Will definitely be back.

Well worth a visit, a hidden gem in Liverpool

Excellent customer service and such a welcoming place. Will certainly recommend to friends and family.

Came here for Sunday breakfast, lovely attentive staff and a great veggie brekkie in attractive surroundings. It was busy but service was on point, as was the food. Recommended.

Wheelbarrow cafe amazing food , falafel Buddha bowl , cauliflower hummus , halloumi cubes all delicious !! Staff all amazing and a special mention for Lewis who is a new member to the team excellent service and went above and beyond today !

This venue is excellent for family. The staff are amazing, very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast menu is extensive and the food delicious. Our waitress Leanne was very efficient and pleasant, managing to serve our extensive family order with little fuss.

Had Christmas afternoon tea today which included listening to Allerton Brass. Afternoon tea was first class. Lovely fresh choice of sandwiches and really fresh scones with jam and cream and a lovey selection of cakes. Unlimited potd of tea. Allerton Brass added to the occasion who made it a really pre Christmas afternoon out. Friendly and welcomng staff. A very enjoyable afternoon. Thank you.

Beautiful place, breakfast was absolutely delicious

Lovely meal, nice quiet place which was good as 2 of us were deaf. Good gluten free menu. Would go again

Lovely place for relaxed lunch. Enjoyed the falafal salad which was very tasty, fresh but would have preferred the option of real feta in place of vegan feta. Sister had hummus which was delicious but I was surprised it didn't come with anything eg pitta to dip in, not strange to eat hummus by itself? Sides of chunky chips and halloumi were delicious! Good service, nice decor. Toilets in adjoining centre/not in restaurant but still v nearby.

Wheelbarrow was quiet this afternoon, lovely cake and coffee

Delicious food, lovely venue, friendly staff. Looking forward to going back 😋

We have just held a private party at the Wheelbarrow to celebrate our 70th birthdays . Our 60+ guests were very impressed by the lovely space and the quality of the food.The event coordinator Sue, owner Keith and all staff were extremely well organised and we were able to relax and enjoy our party. I can highly recommend this venue.

Love this hidden gem and outdoor space for a relaxing lunch!

Nice environment to have a relaxation

Went for breakfast with my partner and daughter, drinks came first with extra that we hadn't ordered, then the breakfasts arrived with one meal not what we ordered so had to wait, by the time my breakfast arrived the girls had finished theirs, but in spite of this the food was great the staff good also apologetic, I will go back also would recommend.

We came for breakfast,4 adults 1 toddler, thought £7 for a bacon & egg on a bun was expensive, we had 2 of those, shakshuka £10, not much in this 2 eggs and a lot of sauce with peppers and tomatoes served with a piece of toast ( already buttered) and a fruit salad, which I thought was decent, but also expensive for £7.50 for the amount served. 3 teas, 2 coffees ( not the best coffee, weak and not much flavour). Overall the outside area was really nice, inside is great. But, £47 Mmmm I couldn't see it.

Attended family party. Nice atmosphere, service and food was excellent

Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere

Good service from a young lad, nice atmosphere but one of the worst coffees I’ve ever had. Tasted absolutely terrible. Either machine was contaminated with something or it’s very cheap ground coffee.

Such a gem on the edge of the Park, lovely and cool and a nice garden area. Good lunch menu

This is a nice little place but the food is very hit and miss. Cakes and coffee are great but anything else is risky. The fish finger butty and halloumi humous dishes were delicious. The falafel wrap was dry and the Caesar salad was basic. The kids menu is limited and also basic. I’ve had both dry sandwiches and burnt toast served to my kids. The staff are welcoming but don’t check up after serving. Overall verdict is for the price you pay, it’s not worth the risk of a bad meal. Won’t be back for a while.

Sadly no where near the watering can. Slow service and cold breakfast. Unwelcoming/ inattentive staff.

Amazing food! Lovely outdoor seating area.

Very nice as usual. I had coley fish goujons on brioche bun with skinny fries. Delicious.

I come to The wheelbarrow once a week with my client. Lisa and her staff are always helpful and nothing is too much trouble. My client is a wheelchair user and has difficulties with some foods. The staff are aware of this and go out of their way to ensure a smooth and relaxed time.

Booked at 1:30 for a table of seven and were contacted the night before to be told that it would need to be moved to 1:45. Arrived and the place was absolutely dead. We were told we had to wait for the people on the one table which seated more than two to finish before we could sit down. How it was impossible to put two or three smaller tables together I don't know. Service was slow despite being empty, took about half an hour between receiving the bill and actually being able to pay. Food was a mixed bag. The kids' sausage and chips and fish goujons were pretty good, the prawn pasta and Caesar salad looked nice and the halloumi fries looked great. The ham and eggs though? Absolute joke. Half a packet of cold ham and some eggs, frozen peas and some admittedly nice chips were ok, but for fourteen quid that's a joke. I hate to leave negative reviews but compared to the exceptional experience we had at the watering can this is absolutely woeful. Hopefully they can turn it round.

Nicest day of the year so far and the outdoor area was closed 😕

Went on a Friday for brunch with my dog and baby. Staff were extremely friendly and accommodating of all of us. Ordered the Croque Monsieur which was very tasty. Excellent space and lovely atmosphere.

Friendly staff & beautiful cakes!

Earlier this month I had the joy of attending my friend's 50th at The Wheelbarrow. The staff were professional and welcoming. The draught lager was great and the chicken curry was boss. Thank you!

Just popped in for breakfast and had a lovely time. I’ve been a fan of the sister restaurant The Watering Can for a while and so thought I’d see if this was as good. Really lovely staff, food and location. I had the shaksuka and a coffee - I was pleased to see them serving 92 Degrees coffee which is super nice! I’ll be back again soon x

Lunch with my mum and daughter yesterday. Asked on entering if my mum who is late 70s with dementia, and very fussy with food, only eating limited things and small amounts if she could have the children's menu. The nice guy said of course gave us a menu for her and sat us down at a table. Girl came to take our order, when i was ordering for mum the girl said no to child's meal as mum was over 10 the chef doesn't allow it., she even checked he said no but can have a Childs ham sandwich what difference does this make, so he could make exception for sandwich but not for fish and chips? Explained that she wont eat certain foods and only small amounts. I take mum out every week for a hot lunch, normally fish and chips, never have i had this before any where we have been. Normally they are happy for her to have to children's menu, but given i was ordering for her due to dementia i was furious. I did order her a fish finger roll and a side of chips which had to be taken apart. To be honest, if my daughter had not of been with us who was hungry we would of walked out. Food was nice enough, although this experience has put me off.

The blond woman has a bad attitude and unwelcoming communication. Told me I was standing in the wrong place to wait for my food- very standoffish when I asked where I should go. Ordered a sandwich for take away here, waited 20 mins. In itself not an issue, but when I asked one of the (lovely) younger serving staff if I could cancel my order as I needed to go, the older blond woman told the staff (not me) ‘there is only one chef on’. If this is being used as a reason for a wait, it should be said when ordering. I actually asked politely to cancel, not how long the food would be. Listening is important. Bad vibes from her and I felt like a burden, not a customer. Won’t be going back sadly. Wrap was super soggy when received.

Loved the ambience in here. Still think over priced. But paying for the staff. Garden will be an asset when opened to the public soon. Staff very friendly

Only popped in for coffee. Good atmosphere, friendly service and acceptable coffee

Went here for an afternoon tea this Mother’s Day and it was delightful! Lots of food! Home made scones and tarts were delicious! The entertainment was amazing and got everyone involved. The staff where lovely and made sure you had the best experience! Will definitely be back

Wow! Was completely blown away by the quality of the food drinks and service at this place today. Amazing 😍

Spacious, clean, really friendly staff.

Fantastic food and very friendly staff

£10 for a take away sandwich is ridiculous. It was lovely but I don't live in London. Essentially it is two pieces of bread with some filling

Came in the morning for breakfast and it was excellent. Nice friendly staff, hot tasty food, good selection of drinks.

What a gorgeous find. This place looks quality, and serves quality. THE best posh fish finger sandwich. And special thanks to the owner (Phil, if I remember correctly), who made the effort to come and chat, and made us feel very welcome.

Well I must say am a bit shocked at this place .Its a cafe / restaurant sort of place .A tad miss match but clean and tidy .Its inside greenbank sports centre in a very nice location not far from a big park .This sport centre came about with disability very much in mind . I knew that chap that put a lot of effort in to getting the funding for greenbnk sports centre and his vission was for a modern sports facility that all people with a disabilities would be able to access all areas of this place easly. This sports centre is popular in merseyside with disabled groups and clubs . My son and his disability and has been doing the 5 a side there for years . All his group bye things in wheelbarrow week in week out but last week when they where there the was a privet do on in the wheelbarrow and where refused entry even though they use the place place week in week out . Today I popped with my son and wife as there was a health thing on in the main hall with different people on each table giving advice .Besides getting advice it was a plesent surprise to be given a ticket for a free coffee on the way out .We where told just go in the wheelbarrow and hand your ticket in . We did this and got are tea and coffee and sat down only for the manager to come over and say you have to take your coffee out side ,you can not drink it in here although they had give us it . Normaly I would have said somthing but due to there now being with a few of my sons friend that had a disability I left along with them . I feel it's a very bad attitude and it seem the manager has some sort of dislike for people with a disability and little or no understanding . All this bad attitude inside what is without question the most disabitly focused sports centre in merseyside . 2 time in 2 weeks I have witnessed this .It can only make you think there like this all the time with a chip on there shoulder regards disabilities I have in the pasted booked this place for my sons 18th and 21 party but I will in future not step foot in the place from now on .

Wonderful place with a lovely atmosphere. Staff are friendly and food is top notch as is the coffee :)

Food tastes good, waiter are very nice and quick sevice.Thank you.10/10, 5 stars.

Ridiculous price for a saucer of “scouse” 2 minuscule pieces of lamb the size of a 10p piece and few slices potato and carrot. Rock hard bread we couldn’t bite into. £13 !!!!!! 125 mil house wine nearly £5. Total bill with coffee £22. Rude bar maid too. We will not return.

had a great time at the wheelbarrow, lovely staff and food

Just had coffee so far. Great americano
