Restaurant 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!”

“Just had three relaxing nights here and I cant begin to tell you how FANTASTIC this place is. Pauline is an amazing host, friendly and welcoming from booking onwards, nothing is too much trouble. Barford House is ideally situated just the right walking distance from all attractions on the seafront, and perfect for Lord Street and all its shops/cafés and Restaurants. The station is a quick 15/20 min walk away making access to Liverpool easy and not at all expensive. The accommodation itself was immaculately clean, spacious, well equipped and in a quiet area of the town. You'd need to take your own towels and tea towels but that is no hardship at all!! To sum up, if you are wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life then Barford House is the perfect place for you !.”

“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!”

“Food here was top marks, best have had for a long time staff where very attentive always near if you ever needed them. Lovely location coffee and cocktails are the best I had a half breakfast and that filled me and my friend had the eggs Benedict OMG wish I could of eaten more as I would of ordered that as well looked delish.very close to all shops as well so if you are traveling out for the day or weekend would highly recommend going here for your breakfast and dinner as you won't get better.”

“A small, cozy restaurant which I found out of the blue but so glad I went in. The staff were very welcoming and the whole atmosphere was amazing. The food came out faster than I thought and was of high quality. The food was definitely worth the price. I would highly recommend coming here if you are in the area!”

“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.”

“We recently visited one of the most authentic Thai restaurants around, and it was fantastic. The service was very quick, the staff were friendly, and the food was genuinely authentic Thai cuisine. The fish cakes were the proper Asian type, not the usual British ones. The tom yum was full of flavor, and both the pad thai and the cashew chicken were excellent.The portions were amazing. We had the lunch set, which included two starters and a main for only £15/ £16 per person. The portions were very generous, even for us, and we can eat a lot! It's definitely worth your money, the food is authentic, and it's worth trying and coming back to.”

“Really enjoyed our meal. Attended with my niece, daughter and grandchildren. Staff were really friendly and took the time to ask where we were from, and interacted with the grandchildren. Food was good and delivered swiftly. Price very reasonable averaging around £20 a head. Located on main high street so cannot park straight outside, but only a five minute to the car. Well worth a visit.”

“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.”

“Every time we visit Southport (2 or 3 times a year) we make a point of coming to Empire. The quality of the food never fluctuates. It always remains of a high grade and tastes so good every time. The duck is just amazing and the randang curries full of flavour. Treated like individuals every time, even keeping a drink for us that isn't on the menu. Great service from Henry (and Henrys mum) and Lilly as ever. We look forward to coming back again soon. Thank you”

“Just returned from a 2 night stay here with my wife and daughter , family room was perfect for us as our daughter is 6 and loved it being us all together , room was very clean and they added a nice touch with a Easter hunt for a hidden chick to redeem a prize from reception . Started the stay off really well , we stayed in the annex building of the hotel . It was quiet and peaceful in the evening . The restaurant in with the hotel was a beefeater restaurant/pub , we opted for the meal deal . So our daughter got free breakfast , and we got our breakfast and 2 course evening meal and first drink included . Food was great . Freshly cooked , even the hot breakfast . I think it was £5.99 for 2 courses for our daughter to add onto our evening meal . The staff in both the restaurant and the hotel were a credit to the companies . So friendly , welcoming and great at engaging conversation with us . Location was great as we went to formby beach before checking in ( around 20 mins away ) and then to Southport the following day in Uber which only cost £10 each way ! Thank you so much for making our little Easter getaway a happy one”

“Went for lunch and I had chargrilled chicken rigatoni. My wife had pan fried salmon gnocchi and my son had sirloin steak. Not one complaint or critique!!! The food was absolutely gorgeous!! Worth every penny!!!”

“I arrived at this Hotel, without a booking, and it has been one of the most stressful days ever. I was almost in tears; I was so exhausted. The staff there could not have been more helpful, kind and thoughtful. They got to be booked in and settled down with speed and grace. I was extremely grateful. My room was at the back of the hotel, it was quiet. The room was well-equipped and clean. Many thanks to the staff there.”

“Where do I start. First of all reception were very welcoming and even managed to give me a wet room as I am disabled. The lift is very secure and cannot be accessed unless you have a room card. Breakfast is superb with the highest quality produce. Th staff are young, friendly and very happy to help. Dinner is relaxed again with superb food. If you like a whisky the have a fantastic range and I personally have to recommend their cocktails. Rooms are spacious, clean and have very comfortable beds. May I also pass on our thanks to Jim for his hospitality. If you’re looking for a really good hotel then go to the Bliss.”

“Has such a lovely evening at Southport Prezzo Italian. Food was lovely and came out fast. We enjoyed some cocktails and Jo our waiter was lovely to be served by. ***** Thankyou.”

“Amazing food! Couldn't get any better service! Really glad we chose there, definitely will be returning!”

“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.”

“Always bang on, food is always great Good service too Sasha served me and she was very helpful.”

“Absolutely fantastic food nothing was to much trouble I asked for extra onions on kebab that's what I got and the garlic mushrooms were beautiful I will definitely be returning”

“Came here for my 30th birthday as we were staying in the hotel. Food was excellent - Sticky Toffee Pudding was the best I’ve ever had! But the real star was out waiter Liam! He couldn’t have done any more for us if he tried, great asset to the team! Can’t wait to return! :)”

“Lots of Gluten Free cakes available we were spoilt for choice! We had a slice of the Victoria sponge and a slice of the Lemon cake they were amazing!!!! They were able to cater for Dairy Free too…”

“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.”

“We’ve dined here several times now on our recent trips to Southport and we just love it. It’s a very small, intimate restaurant and the menu isn’t huge, but everything is always spot on and delicious. We always have our youngest daughter with us and the staff are just brilliant with her, catering to her any way they can; whether this be letting her order off menu, or making her her very own mocktail. I’d really recommend the Birria beef tacos and if you happen to visit on a themed night (we went for their Halloween one last year) definitively do the set menu; the amount of food you get for the money is amazing.”

“Highly recommended. One of the most delicious food i ever had. My husband order meatballs which he loved it so much ( he said never had anything like it), I ordered chicken liver and garlic bread. The chicken liver took a bit long time to cook. But the restaurant gave us complimentary lovely sausages as an apology which i felt very appreciated because it was my fault ordered chicken liver. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. Love it and will definitely go back again. ( Sorry, i forgot to take a photo of the complimentary sausages! )”

“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”

“Fabulous restaurant. The staff are so helpful with your choices. Any questions answered straight away. The knowledge they have, like the temperatures certain food is cooked to is great. The tastes you experience when you eat are phenomanol. I highly recommend Kalash especially if you havent experienced Indian food before.”
