Sorry but this place seems to be going from bad to worse. I went in last November with a group of ten of us and the food was dire. I was told by another hightown resident that most of the food is now bought in from brake brothers and heated up but thought I would check it out for myself. In the past I have had all day breakfasts, fish and chips and beautiful curries but now the menu seems to of slimmed down drastically. Back in November I had fish and chips as did three others but all of of fish and chips came out either burnt or the oil needed changing as the batter and the chips were dark brown and pouring with oil. This time I go in again with a few friends and I went for the soup to start and it wasn't what it says on the menu but thats OK. It came with these two tiny bread rolls that were like raw dough or rubber. I could hardly cut them open as they were like tough rubber. They didn't come with butter so I asked for some. The soup was poor and the rolls virtually inedible. One of my friends had cauliflower with buffalo sauce but these fried cauliflower came out luke warm and pretty dire with buffalo sauce only covering one third of the cauliflower. I then seen some of the fish chips and minted peas coming out and it looked burnt so I ended up going for the club sandwich with fries. I was asked if I wanted fries or chips and said fries. My club sandwich wasn't that bad but it came with these huge steak chips that were dark brown and pouring with oil and very soggy. So no fries and soggy chips either burnt or cooked too low temperature in oil that needs changing. One of my friends had the chicken Thai curry or something of that description. His meal came out were the chicken pieces in batter looked like they were just heated up in the microwave having just been defrosted and covered in freezer burn. They were almost cold as tough as leather and looked anaemic they came with a little tiny jug of curry sauce and my friend assured me it was absolutely dire. Needless to say we won't be eating here again unless we hear good food reviews in the future but I suspect that maybe in a few years time if it happens. I might call in for an odd drink as the barstaff were excellent checking to glasses were spotless before pouring and very happy to help. But not food. I'd be better getting a gorgeous sandwich or pie at the newsagents over the road which really are excellent SADLY THE HIGHTOWN PUB & KITCHEN CLOSED ITS DOORS FOR GOOD ON FRIDAY 8TH MARCH AT 7PM. IM NOT REALLY SURPRISED AFTER THE POOR QUALITY FOOD THATS BEEN COMING OUT LATELY. WHEN THIS PLACE FIRST OPENED AFTER NEW OWNERS AND A £600,000 REFURB IT WAS FANTASTIC. SADLY THE MENU SLIMMED DOWN AND A LOT OF THE FOOD WAS BOUGHT IN PRECOOKED IN VACCUM BAGS AND REHEATED IN MICROWAVES OR THE FRYER. MY LAST VISIT WAS ABSOLUTELY DIRE. IVE HEARD OF WOMENS GROUPS BOOKING A TABLE FOR LUNCH IN ADVANCE FOR 9 POEOPLE AND 15 MINUTES AFTER ORDERING A SERVER COMES BACK SAYING THEY ONLY HAVE ONE PORTION OF SOUP LEFT AND 5 HAD ORDERED IT. THEN THEY SAID THEY COULDNT DO THE THREE OMELETTES AS THEY HAD NO EGGS WHEN THERE IS A SHOP OVER THE ROAD. FINALLY THE FISH AND CHIPS COME OUT AND THE PREPACKED CHIPS WHICH ARE LIKE DOOR WEDGES CAME OUT DARK BROWN AND ALMOST RAW IN THE MIDDLE. Hopefully the brewery will find someone new to take over and get fresh food back on the go and hopefully people will give this place another go so to overcome its recently poor reputation

Can't fault the Grapes. Food is lovely and Andrew and Mark are absolutely wonderful. We had such a laugh doing the Halloween Bingo. My husband and I definitely use this as our local. They're also very welcoming to dogs too.

Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch in Sam Thai, service outstanding and all the food was well presented & delicious. We opted for the set lunch, which was 2 starters and a main for £15.95 and a pot of Jasmine tea. Will definitely call in again next time we visit Southport. Thank You!

Lovely food and relatively cheap. Will definately be back here again. The woman serving was full of smiles and very obliging. One of the meals was a fish dinner at £6, my god you wouldn't believe the size of the fish it was huge and lovely thin golden batter
