I make pub food disappear. What’s your superpower? Was lovely to meet an old school friend at my local @greeneking_official pub the @gravesberieinnwirral a few weeks ago. I can’t resist a scampi or a Sticky toffee pud with custard. All the classics for me.She enjoyed a steak sandwich and a fondue of brownie and blondie…

The Manor, Greasby
So this spot, very close to our new home, we have visited more than once. So this will be a collection of photos from a few different meals we’ve enjoyed here. Firstly, we took my parents for Sunday lunch. It was extremely busy so service was a little slow. The food however, was outstanding. The…
The Grace Arms, Ellesmere Port
I have known The Grace Arms on Stanney Road for most of my life, but have not visited in nearly two decades. Owned by Greene King Pubs, the location closed in November 2022 for refurbishment. After a six figure investment it then reopened as a Flaming Grill, with a brand new food menu, new decor…
Irby Mill, Wirral
This traditional sandstone pub on the Wirral was our choice for lunch this past Sunday. Cosy and inviting, this place is the site of a former windmill but now serves up inviting pub food and real cask ales. Dog friendly throughout and very willing to accommodate Stevens food intolerances, we were ushered through a very…
The Rake Hall, Little Stanney
We had lunch here as a family between Christmas and New Year and it was absolutely heaving with people. Being close to Cheshire Oaks the traffic was pretty awful too, but once in and seated we enjoyed some nice pub grub. The Rake Hall is a Brunning & Price pub though so we had to…
Haighton Manor, Preston
Haighton Manor was the location for a lovely Sunday lunch with friends recently. An old hospital, this now refurbished building sits in lovely green surroundings and has a lovely old pub feel inside. As a Brunning and Price pub, the food is a little pricey and Steve had limited options but we enjoyed ourselves nevertheless….
The Bristol Trader, Haverfordwest
On our recent trip to Pembrokeshire we spent a day in Tenby and Haverfordwest for my birthday. Steve had booked the Bristol Trader online and we ended our day in this pleasant little pub. There has been an Inn here on the Quay since the 1700’s and is so named as traders from Bristol would…
The Goat Inn, Glandwyfach
After a lovely weekend in Porthmadog we stopped, with our two dogs, at The Goat Inn in Glandwyfach. We had previously booked a table which turned out to be a great idea, as with only opening a few hours at lunch and dinner, they were turning people away at the door. We had spoken to…
The Chimneys, Hooton
So named for its impressive roofline, The Chimneys has been in Hooton on the Wirral for as long as I can remember. It’s also changed hands more times than I can recount. After a devastating flood earlier in the year, nobody knew if it’d survive but it has been lovingly restored and modernised and is…
Ring O’ Bells, Daresbury
This pretty little Cheshire pub is steeped in history, owing to the fact is used to be part of Daresburys courthouse in the 19th century. With original features and a plethora of hanging baskets you wouldn’t know you were so close to a busy road. Yes it’s another Chef and Brewer but myself and some…
