Pub in Southport

“What a fun unique restaurant! From the moment you walk in Paulo , The chef/owner, welcomes you with open arms. He customized each one of our party of 8 dinners. He wants to know your level of spices , add this or that , what ever flavors you would like he can create. He had a wonderful wine list to complete our meals. It is a fun enjoyable dining experience! We would definitely go back to his restaurant!”

“Called in ivo all the rave reviews of this establishment & found them to ACCURATE! My wife & I called in for an early evening meal midweek Can honestly say that the food was mouthwatering good. Such a large menu to choose from gives room to explore new culinary experiences at a modest cost. Service was excellent. Will be returning soon!”

“First visit to a Hickory's today. We were a little concerned when directions took us to the middle of a housing estate, but that's exactly where we were meant to be. Friendly, helpful, and welcoming staff. The smell of this fabulous smokehouse was promising upon entry. It didn't disappoint. Ample on-site car parking, smoking area outside, garden, dog friendly bar area (water bowls and treats inside the entrance), cinema room for little people, good clean facilities, and you can see and hear the food being cooked. Once seated out waiter introduced themselves and brought popcorn and water for the table. Good menu options. We went with the 3am Mac n Cheese and Earl Grey tea and a half rack of ribs with fries and an alcoholic slushy for grown-ups. We skipped starters and were too full for afters! There is no need to tip. It's included in the bill. So do be mindful. Very enjoyable experience, and we would definitely go again.”

“We came for the first time for the Wednesday Indian Buffet. The place is beautifully furnished clean and tidy. Tricia, the owner was really lovely and welcoming. The food was delicious and good value for money too. Raj on the buffet was very nice and helpful. We'll definitely be back soon. Phil and Claire”

“Great bowling alley, lanes where you sit down could do with being a bit wider, other than that all is great”

“Fantastic, couldn't rate high enough. Food was Amazing, cocktails even better, staff were exceptional James an Steve were brilliant nothing was too much trouble. Only issue is drinks menu far too big. Highly recommend.”

“Lovely little place to have breakfast or lunch. Sussed it out first by myself, then took hubby for his verdict. Loved the food, you can sit and chat whilst waiting for food to be freshly cooked.”

“Husband and I went for an early tea as we had the opportunity of a baby sitter! Food is always fantastic here, I have literally never had a bad meal after visiting for 15+ years. Marc heads up a team of exceptional chefs whilst the waiting-on staff make sure you are well looked after. Michelin star quality food but with better portion sizes. The mix of French classic cuisine with some Asian dishes and top notch Italian pastas never ceases to amaze me. The menu is small (ish) but executed perfectly. There is a reason this place is booked up weeks in advance, but if you're in the local area you simply must visit”

“Popped in for a drink on the way home from the Southport food and drink festival. Was lovely to sit outside and have a drink in the sun so much so we stayed for another one”

“A beautiful venue to have an intimate gathering of friends & family, celebrating love of our beautiful mates. Cannot say anything better about service of the staff and the owner, they were lovely and so kind. Drinks were also delicious!”

“We ate here for the first time, it was beautiful! We ate a variety of things, Steak, Scallops, Cauliflower, Chicken and multiple others. The food was delicious, service nice and all was beautiful, I would highly recommend.”

“My girlfriend found this place on the internet so we tried it out while we were in Southport , the place was quiet due to the fact the Champions league final was on and everyone was in the bars! As soon as we walked in we were made to feel as home by the gaffer, he couldn't do enough for us! The food was good and so was the Turkish beer, we chose different dishes from the Greek, Turkish and Spanish tapas menu and left full to the brim. The bill was a reasonable price too. We were very impressed by the interior of this restaurant and by the lovely painted Murals on the wall of different parts of the med. We had a lovely time and would recommend a visit here!”

“Fantastic local. Just brilliant little pub with proper real ales with something always new added. Andrew and Angie are lovely. Really create a friendly atmosphere. So pleased to be living close to this gem.”

“Brilliant Birthday meal. Thank you The only negative is with the duck leg, the presentation looks really nice but the pancakes split when they are then rolled”

“What a great night out food amazing service outstanding Linda and her team are great we keep going back time and time again ! Recently we went for my aunties birthday it was lots of Xmas parties and we cannot all recommend Southport’s hidden gem enough ! Thank you for making her birthday night out so memorable !”

“We went on a Saturday night, it was extremely busy and the restaurant was quite noisy. We waited some time for our main courses but the food was faultless when it did arrive. My partner waited over 10 minutes for a second drink. We will be back but we will probably get takeaway or visit on a less busy evening next time.”

“The cocktails here are absolutely amazing. Great service from Katie. She will personalise cocktails to your taste and has a real passion for mixology. Would highly recommend”

“Excellent food, great drinks and the service received was fantastic. Would highly recommend and can't wait to go again”

“Had a private party here over the weekend which was amazing! I can’t thank fadi and the team enough for everything, they were super accommodating and we couldn’t have had it in a better place! The food was amazing and the drinks perfect as always! Thank you!!!”

“Excellent experience, last minute booking, the staff couldn't do more for us, even though the restaurant was full, they really looked after us, the food was exceptional, real authentic Turkish food. Will definitely return in the future. A must if your ever in Southport.”

“We had a fantastic family lunch today for my Dads 88th birthday. All the staff from start to finish were fantastic. It was well set up and organised (Thankyou Anna), the coffee was hot and the food was lovely. My Dad said he had a great time. (That is a big compliment !!!). So a big thankyou to Alex and the team. Mary Steve and family”

“My boyfriend and I go here very often, it’s our favourite restaurant. We first went here a year ago and found it because we turned vegan and they have a whole vegan menu which is just fantastic for us. The food is of such high quality, we’ve never had better Italian food. And we couldn’t believe how great the vegan cheese was. We’ve tried vegan pizza’s at other restaurants, but they were almost inedible because of the awful vegan chemical cheese that doesn’t even melt properly and taste of nachos. But the vegan cheese in this restaurant is just superior, I like it even more than real cheese and it leaves us amazed everytime. Going to this restaurant has become a little ritual of ours, and we’d be truly heartbroken if it ever was to close! This restaurant is perfect for us and we love it dearly. The only thing it could improve on in my opinion is if they would add a few vegan desserts to the menu, at least one so vegan people have the option of getting a vegan dessert after their meal, too. I heard other vegan people in the restauarnt asking about it before, I think it would be really good. But this is only a little thing that could simply make it even more perfect for us!”

“Fantastic meal . Food is delicious.Bar prices reasonable. Bar staff friendly. Nice family atmospher. Will definitely return.”

“Good selection of beers attentive staff warm pub with a good crowd in will go again. What more can I say its my local now”

“The staff were very nice and friendly, we had the sharing Greek platter which came with pitta bread, rice, chips and 2 dips. Everything had amazing flavours, we was pleased with everything, and are looking for to returning soon.”

“Amazing bar to enjoy the night, staff is the best. Always good music”

“Stayed with a friend and really didn't want to check out! Everything is done to a high standard the staff were lovely both on reception and in the restaurant .Great breakfast. All in all a lovely stay very comfy rooms and beds too! Highly recommended”

“My twin sister and I stayed last night for 1 night for our birthday. We hadvbeef stroganoff with rice and green beans for our dinner, it was lovely. 2 lovely young girls afterwards came out with a lovely cheese cake for us, a lovely surprise. Room was comfy place was lovely. Just had to ask for an extra glass for the room, and would have wanted more milk that’s all , but Lisa and myself colette had a lovely stay. Continental breakfast was free, if you wanted a cooked breakfast it was £6 , think this should be free. All the staff were lovely and friendly. Their is no parking at the hotel , but free parking just across the road”

“Excellent establishment for food, drinks, service, atmosphere and entertainment. The staff are the gems of this place, friendly, calm, as well as professional . Good food and portions. Plenty to choose for vegetarian and vegans. I guess it is a good venue for any occasion . Great decor (in and out), especially for those with a short attention span to practice active listening while your eyes wonder (admiring that picture frame) and not look bored with the conversation you are enduring. Good value for money for the quality and quantity of the food. Clean toilets and throughout. I would highly recommend.”
