The best restaurants serving Default food in Meols Sefton North West

Having heard many good thing about this place over the years but never visiting I decided to rectify that over the bank holiday weekend. The menu options looked pretty good and we ordered starters and mains; both the mains being "pie of the day", something which we are both big fans of. The starters, seafood croquille and pate, were both really tasty albeit the portion size of the pate was a little small. However, when the pies arrived, they looked suspiciously mass manufactured and not what you might expect for a "pie of the die". We carried on and cut into them and were pleasantly surprised by the extremely high meat content of the filling. Unfortunately, both pies were cold in the middle having clearly been reheated. We sent them back and were asked if we wanted a different main or two new pies; we wanted the pies. When they came back there was little doubt that they would be hot, as the crusts were a very dark brown. So much so that it was extremely difficult to cut through the crust at all. The filling was quite tasty but the overall it was a poor pie. Our orders also came with chips for one and mash for the other. Although there were more chips served second time around, there was less mash and it had clearly just been replated from the original serving. The waiting staff were apologetic and offered us a complimentary round of drinks, which we declined as we were not ready for a refill. When the bill arrived, one soft drink had been removed from the total but given the paucity of the food and experience, not to mention the fairly high cost, I would have expected a more significant financial gesture, especially of a supposedly top class establishment. A disappointing experience all round and we won't be returning.

Very busy but worth the wait. Staff friendly and have a good system for ordering. Cod and chips were excellent. Cash only.

the best pub meal I have had for some time. Staff are very friendly - especially Jo. I had asked for a variation of the menu option which was accommodated without any issue. Always treated like a long lost friend and always enjoy what I eat

Food was ok and varied. Service was poor. Sometimes you had to ask what was for tea at near 8.30pm and take your own plates to the kitchen! Plenty of room for improvement. Will go back there though!

Awful, food was luke warm and very greasy and so unhappy as in the past its been great and tonight most the food ended in the bin.

Pizzas always taste of sugar. Far too sweet. Take it easy chef. Overpriced for what you get even with the special deals they have.

Collected 3 Steak pies (they had no steak slices left) and 2 Eccles cakes yesterday, young lady was very nice and helpful behind the counter. We have been buying from Latham's for years, but OMG have you let yourselves down guys. T he steak pies where dry, very little meat and as for flavour do you not taste them when being made as they where just full of salt, all 3 people eating them put them in the bin, me included. The Eccles cakes had hardly any fruit and to be honest where tasteless. Also your prices have shot up, what's happening in your business. After years of being loyal customers we shan't be coming back sorry, it was disgusting and over £13, where is the value in that, it was just awful.

Toilets filthy and loads of cobwebs. Barmaid looked in fridge for the Merlot and then said she didn't have a clue about wine. Husbands pint not nice. First and last time
