The Unicorn Inn — Restaurant in Knowsley

0 Stars really!

Date Of Visit - 30/10/22.

Impromptu visit after calling earlier to reserve to which we received no answer. Seemed like a massive inconvenience when we turned up, even tho the pub was empty. Couldn't believe it to be honest. Pub was freezing cold and half of it in darkness (maybe a sign of things to come), no heating or fires lit, we were seated and told approx 15 mins, (no issue but couldn't see why really) Drinks order was wrong and no attempt to rectify. Approx 30 mins later other tables seated around us and food orders started to be taken. I took my family and left the pub without paying for my erroneous drinks. This is what happens when you let kids on minimum wage run front of house. Absolutely disgusted after frequenting the establishment on and off for the last 20 years. Treat customers like this at your peril. The Unicorn was the place to eat locally years ago. How they have slipped so bad is beyond me.

Really annoyed tbh. Please see my reviews. I always give honest and open feedback. We probably won't return now as this is not the first occasion of either poor service or food quality etc. Plenty of other reviews seem to say the same.

Good luck with the financial downturn ahead.

The management can feel free to contact me regarding this review if u need too. Such a shame and a loss to...

Called in on the off chance last Saturday evening looking for a quick tea because everywhere was packed with long waits and ended up staying for hours. We haven't been for years because it had gone downhill and were delighted to see our favourite waiter Dan was still there. The pub's under new management (a fairly recent change) and Dan now runs the place for them. It felt just like the good old days.

The food was excellent. Starters: delicious black pudding and goat's cheese / two kinds of mushrooms in a lovely sauce on brushetta. Mains: rib eye steak melt in the mouth / rump steak stroganoff sauce to die for, and very clearly freshly cooked to order. Prices were very reasonable. The atmosphere was brilliant; friendly and very welcoming despite it being very busy.

The Unicorn used to be one of our favourite places to call in, especially if we wanted to eat and we've missed it. It is definitely back at the top of our list.

Apparently it is due for a renovation in a few weeks and we can't wait to see what's done. Can't imagine they will do anything to lose...

Me and my family had booked a table for 5.30 pm 4th May we wertold when coming in that the receipt machine was broke so could we go to the bar for a drink, we then spoke to another person explaining we were going to a show and needed our table there were tables empty we were seated then told we can't take your order yet as we're really busy do u want a drink we ordered drinks late were cold so sent them back.
