The staff were really friendly and made us feel welcome. My partner&#39;s chicken burger was the best he&#39;s ever had.

The mini matcha cake was a lovely little treat. The sponge had a good flavour, and the fresh fruit was a nice addition.

The burgers are really good, but I did find the side of fries a bit on the small side. The staff were lovely and suggested the large portion next time, which was a nice touch.

Been coming here for years. It&rsquo;s always a bit dark and loud, but honestly, that&rsquo;s part of the charm for me. Feels lived-in. The free street parking after 6pm is a lifesaver, makes popping in easy.

Right by Lime Street station, so popped in before my train. Used the app to order, which was dead easy. Food came out quick - just a decent burger and chips, nothing fancy. Did the job for a rushed meal.

The steak frites were spot on, honestly. The peppercorn sauce had just the right kick. It&#39;s a quiet, cosy spot for a proper meal.

It&#39;s like stepping into a different era. All the original features are still there, just as they were. A proper slice of old Liverpool.

Popped in before the match. The steak and ale pie was solid, proper comfort food. What really stood out was the house red - a surprisingly decent Merlot that paired perfectly with the rich gravy. Drinks are fairly priced for the location, which is a bonus around here.

Stopped in for a quick slice, the margarita. Crust was spot on, really good. Usually get the meat feast, but this was solid. Way better than it looks in pics.

Service was spot-on even when packed. Our waiter knew the wine list well and steered us to a great pairing for the spicy lamb.

The fish was fresh and the batter so light and crisp. Proper chippy-style chips, too. Just the right kind of simple, satisfying meal.

The set menu was a steal at &pound;16, and the wine list had some nice, affordable options that paired well with the food.

Stopped by for a quick drink. Ended up staying for the karaoke - good system, decent song list. Service was prompt and friendly, which kept us there. Prices are fair for the area. Would consider for a casual after-work thing.

Louise and the bar team are lovely. They remember your name and what you drink, which makes it feel like your local. A friendly spot for a quiet pint after work.

Been ordering their takeout pizzas for years now. They always arrive piping hot, and the cheese has that same stretchy pull my kids go crazy for. It&#39;s the consistency that keeps me coming back.

Great spot for a quick lunch. The staff were super friendly and even brought a water bowl for my dog while we sat outside. Food came out fast and tasted fresh. Perfect for a quick bite.

Got lucky with a table on a Friday, only waited 5 mins. The queue stayed long all night though. Four pasta dishes and drinks came to just over &pound;80. Food was fresh and tasty. Enjoyed watching the pizzas being made in the open kitchen.

First time trying their Sunday roast. The beef was so tender, and the crispy kale on top was a nice surprise. Portions are huge for what you pay. Will be back for that beef!

Loved the feel of this place. It&#39;s got that proper pub atmosphere, warm and buzzing but not too loud. The interior is surprisingly spacious, which is a nice change. Found a cosy corner by the window and just enjoyed the vibe.

Popped in for a real ale. The bar staff really know their beers, helped me pick one. Lovely spot, good range of cask ales.

Been here a few times. The food and service are always good. Had a couple of billing mix-ups, but Cosmos sorted it out quickly.

Free parking is a huge plus. The walk into Chester along the river is pleasant and easy. It meant we could relax and not worry about the car, which made the whole outing feel much more straightforward.
