Hanover Street Social — Restaurant in Liverpool

6 of us ate here on 21st August 8pm, 2 of us ordered steak, 1 med rare, 1 medium to well, the waitress told us this will take around 40 minutes due to the med to well done steak!! So when I questioned her about that, and said quite rightly pan frying steak is 2.5 mins per side med rare, an extra minute per side med to well done, not 40 mins! She replied quite rudely, not here it doesn't, and that she doesn't have to explain herself to me! And saw her obviously talking to her manager about us! When the meals came out, they were very nice, we were checked after 5 mins that everything was OK, at that point they were, but then 1 person found a chicken bone in his pie, consequently he didn't eat it but he didn't want any fuss, when the waitress came to clear our plates, we mentioned the bone, a different waitress, not sure if it was the manageress, rudely said, "well you didn't say anything when we asked if everything was OK"! How rude Consequently!! we didn't leave a tip, normally were quite heavy tippers, but on this occasion the sheer rudeness and unprofessional attitude of this part of the team, has not only cost the other staff a tip, but we won't be returning unless they...

Hanover Street Social is a sort of bar/restaurant just up from John Lewis. More restaurant than bar these days I think.

Popular place, especially on a Monday when there is wine for all at discount prices. We booked, so all good there. Everyone inside seemed to be having a good time.

The food here is very nice - the black pudding starter with pfefferkörn sauce is iconic. Main was a chicken pot pie which, I have to say, was bursting with flavour. Surprising. I would have had dessert, but nobody else wanted it, so I demurred but also disapprove of that decision… 😆

The beer was Estrella. As it ever was. Popular beer in this part of the world. They also had the Camden Town lager, but that makes my head hurt… 😆

Lots of big parties in the night we visited. Perfect place for a meal with your work colleagues I guess.

Does this place have anything to do with the Gas Street Social in Birmingham? No idea. Similar names. I’ve noticed places called ‘Social’ springing up all over the place over the last decade. Coincidence, trend or are they all connected? 🤔

See if you can spot the car in the basement. How did it get there? Why is...

Location for my son's graduation afternoon family dinner. On check-in the chap was struggling with his laptop based guest booking system as it had just crashed so we got directed to the bar to wait. We hung around for a bit thinking we'd be seated shortly but as that seemed to not be happening we ordered drinks. The chap behind bar was very friendly and helpful in choosing a beer. Having eventually been seated, the service was excellent and very prompt and the food when it came was delicious 👍

We had 2x Crispy pork belly with red wine jus, 2x Gnocchi, and a Seabass with a nice bottle of wine a couple of beers. 2x shared puddings later and all where suitably stuffed 👍 Despite there reservation website suggesting that you have a 2hr time limit to exit the table, there was never any hint of this whilst we where there despite being well over this time.

It got busier whilst we where there but over all it remained a pretty relaxed atmosphere. In summary, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone, the food is outstanding for the price and I can highly recommended the...
