The best restaurants serving British food in Cressington Liverpool North West

Visited here for the first time with family a couple of weeks ago (July 2024) for a Sunday roast dinner. To be honest, I was not expecting much in the beginning: the venue from the outside is quite unassuming and has a handwritten and photocopied menu. How wrong I was. The food is simply gorgeous. I had fish cakes to start which were really lovely, great taste and just enough so as to not fill you up too much before the main course. Two of our party, myself included, had the chicken option for the main, one beef and one lamb. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food. The Yorkshire pudding, meat, roast potato and mash potato all came on the main plate with a separate bowl with carrot and swede mash, cabbage and peas for people to pick and choose as they wanted. Gravy was served on the main dish as standard however we saw a couple on another table request for theirs to come separately and it came in a jug. For me, the serving of gravy was perfect. So often you go for a roast dinner and the gravy is served like it's being rationed or the opposite and drowns your food, not here, it was just right. I had some ice-cream for dessert whilst other members of the family had some of the desserts of the day. All in all, faultless experience, will definitely return in future and would definitely recommend to others.

Nikki was such a lovely waitress to my friend group and asked us how school was going. She was very quick with clearing up our table.

Went to the bar. Not overly busy. Barmaid acknowledged me but served at least four other people who came to the bar after myself. In the end had no option but to serve me as I was the only one waiting. Got the feeling regulars get priority. Her loss as I always tip having worked in hospitality but not on this occasion.
