Fort Perch Rock — Attraction in Wirral

We came on Saturday for some lunch and ordered a mix of soup and toasties, scouse, coffees and teas - the staff had done a great job of recreating the hardship of life on the fort in 1829. There was no fire burning, the lights were off, and half the menu was missing due to lack of supplies. No red cabbage for the Scouse for example (isn't that illegal round here?). The customers sat in darkness in their hats and gloves and contemplated their life choices. There was a surreal and intrusive 80's hits playlist blathering away, just loud enough to be truly annoying. Ghostbusters, Private Dancer, The Final Countdown?!?! What else would you play in an old fort? Perhaps we meant to do aerobics to keep warm? Were we in the Escape Room by mistake? Here's a photo of one of us clutching a teapot to keep warm...I'll say no more.

This could be a wonderful place - but it wasn't when we were there. When we left one of the staff turned on a couple of lights and tried to light the fire. Too little, too late.

Went for lunch for the first time since opening at The Mess, a small Cafe located in Fort Perch Rock. Cosy space, great location. Only 9 tables inside, 3 staff in & not very busy on a rainy afternoon 1.30pm. Service? Ordered coffee, tea, panini, scone. Asked if scone came with jam/cream - yes. Settled down for a chat but still no drinks served 30 mins in, had to go to counter to ask. They had put order aside. Drinks to table. 10mins later still no food, so asked & again order put aside. Explanation - I don't know what's going on today. Was served food 45mins after ordering. Panini was not a panini but a bread roll toasted on a panini grill with 1 Sausage & 2 slices of bacon at a cost of £5.50. (Poor). Scone served with butter & jam,no cream £2.50. Coffee/tea - lovely. Need to rethink their menu under trade descriptions act. Was offered no apology or complimentry coffee/tea for long wait (drinks drank by time got food). Do recommend the drinks. Though improvements are certainly required for...
