The best restaurants serving British food in West Kirby and Thurstaston Wirral North West

You guys are the best ! Travelled over from the dark side (Yorkshire) for lunch with family Just the nicest/friendliest cafe to visit If Leeds get promoted, we’ll be over more !!

Lovely cafe in a nice spot with a view and food was lovely BUT no a very warm welcome we reserved a table arrived on time no one welcomed us we had to find our own table with booking reservation name on, a member of staff shouted over the counter that table is reserved so we told her it was ours. Then after waiting several minutes we had to get our own menus staff were unhelpful as we’d never been before so wasn’t sure if it was table service or not. Overall service poor didn’t feel friendly. The noise from the coffee machine was irritating and a lot of banging going on found it hard to hear ourselves speak at times which was annoying. Don’t think I’d go back, oh and the toilet was dirty bin was full and open showing either a dirty nappy or sanitary towel that was unpleasant.

Leaf had untapped potential, but unfortunately, it’s been let down by inconsistent management and a lack of connection with the local community. The food is average for the price, and the atmosphere leans more towards a tea-drinking crowd rather than the lively, inclusive community pub it could be. Social media engagement is minimal, which doesn’t help attract or retain patrons. Repeatedly disappointing experiences have been disheartening, especially for the staff, who are clearly trying their best under challenging circumstances. With such a prime location and a fantastic beer garden, it’s frustrating to see it failed to resonate with locals within walking distance. Hopefully, someone with a better vision and understanding of the community will step in to revive its potential, ideally in time for summer when the outdoor space can shine.

Served by lovely Helen, who made our experience special. Food was delicious, good quality and good price.
