My only regret is that I haven't been sooner. Possibly the best roast I've had in my life, let alone eating out. Decided to be a bit of a piggy, and I went for the trio of meat roast dinner. You'd think it was expensive at £21 but when you see the sheer amount of food, and then taste the top notch quality, well, £21 is a bargain. The standout for me was the veg, which was cooked to perfection. Broccoli, spinach, and mange tout made up most of it, but there was a carrot and swede purée that was really truly special. Really nice touch by bringing out three sauces to accompany the meat - mint for the lamb, horseradish for the beef, and apple for the pork. I could wax lyrical about the food all day but finally want to mention the staff. They squeezed us in on a busy Sunday evening without a reservation at peak time, and service was excellent. Everyone was super friendly. Atmosphere was great. This is somewhere you could take your mates, and also take your nan. Maybe at the same time. We will be back.

Our dining experience with a 2-course meal for two people was truly exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting, with soft lighting and a cozy atmosphere. The service was impeccable, as the staff was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. For our first course, we had separate starters. The flavors were well-balanced, and the presentation was impeccable. Each bite was a culinary delight, setting the stage for what was to come. The main course was the highlight of the meal. We chose different dishes, and both were cooked to perfection. The ingredients were fresh, and the chef's expertise shone through in every bite. The portion size was just right, leaving us satisfied but not overly full. Overall, the 2-course meal was a memorable culinary journey. It was a fantastic afternoon, and we left with smiles on our faces. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a special meal out.

I have been here before but it is worth saying again just how delicious the food was! Loads of staff buzzing around and any will help if they can. Honestly one of the nicest dinners I've had whilst eating out, and my mum really enjoyed her scouse!

This is a pub that you probably have never really walked past, as it's at the dead end at the Rock Ferry waterfront. But it always seems to be busy so quite a few people have gone out of their way to find it, and it's well worth finding. The meals they create are superb. The pensioner's special lunch is very good value for money. Today we had Pate and toast starter, chilli for mains and cheese board for dessert. All three courses were excellent and came to well less than £20. They also have a great range of beers and ales. Service is very quick and I've never had to wait long to be served.

Friendly staff, fabulous venue in a wonderful location. Highly recommend the vegan roast which comes with a vegan Yorkie Pud!!! Only downside is the lack of parking.

Stopped off on the way home from the football on Sunday evening. I'd seen the good reviews and thought we'd give it a go. Absolutely brilliant. Really lovely, friendly service from everyone we spoke to. Had the small roast pork ... excellent. Just the right amount of food. Loved the sweet potato mash. Fabulous crisp veggies. Excellent roasties, and melt-in-the-mouth pork. We will definitely make this a regular stop on the way home from games next season!

So we ate at the Refreshment rooms today for the Second time and the standards of food, Service, Ambience, Great pint are still top draw. Me and my Fiancee live in Manchester but my in-laws live in Eastham so we travelled over today for a lovely meal at the Refreshment Rooms and we were warmly greeted by a member of staff who seated us at our table as we had reserved a table for Four of us. Me and my Father in-law had a pint of Guinness and my Fiancee and Mother in-law had bottled water, Fantastic pint of Guinness, Creamy, Smooth. For food my Mrs opted for Salmon Thermodore with greens, Which she absolutely loved, Mother in-law went for a lovely bowl of Scouse with Red cabbage and crusty bread which she really, Really enjoyed, Me and my father in-law opted for Beer battered Fish and Chunky chips with mushy peas, Which was without a doubt the best Fish and Chips I had ever eaten. Me and the Father in-law then had another Guinness(It would of been rude not to), My father in-law then opted for Ice cream for Dessert which came with a Flake and Some strawberries, Which again he devoured with ease. Service was fantastic, Polite and friendly staff, Great setting on the River Mersey, Lovely interior, Fantastic food, Fantastic service, Fantastic setting, Free Parking and a fantastic pint etc. We highly, highly recommend The Refreshment Rooms. 5☆

First time I've ever visited the Refreshment Rooms,after a recommendation from a friend. I was pleasantly surprised. Probably the best pub/restaurant I've been to in years. Nice clean pub with polite helpful staff and unbelievable food. I had the Slow Cooked Belly Pork, which was unbelievable. My wife had Steak and Ale Pie which she really enjoyed also. Loads to choose from on the Menu and all sounds great, so I'll definitely be going back soon. Had a good selection of beers on draught too. I had Peroni and San Miguel. We also had a dessert to share. My new favourite place to eat. I cant wait to go back.

This place was a recommendation by a colleague and I was not disappointed. Local grown veg and home cooking. Reasonably cost and good service. I would recommend to book a table and visit. If I’m in the area again, I will drop in for a meal for sure.
