Ma Egerton's Stage Door — Restaurant in Liverpool

A legendary pit stop for a last pint before the train leaves. Very handy for the theatre too. Used to be Nellie and Bert’s pub, both epic characters. We used to arrive on a Saturday for the football. We’d get there at quarter to eleven, it didn’t open till 11, but if you banged on the window the cleaner would let you in. “Boys, do you want a pint while we wait to open?”

Will most certainly be back.

Hidden away behind the Empire Theatre and Lime Street Station, Ma Edgerton's has a warm the atmosphere and friendly customers.

They serve very fresh & tasty snack size pizzas, perfect for when you need to soak up some alcohol.

Check it out now and again. We need to support special places like this so that we...

Friends I had from the bars up in Newcastle when I lived there were in Liverpool for Beatles week. Hadent seen them for nearly 5 years so decided to go through to meet them now I live back down here. I thought you carnt come to Liverpool and leave without having a bowl of the trational Scouse. The four of us enjoyed it, beautiful😋😋😋😋Nicely served on a board with toasted bread, butter and red cabbage. A bowl full which was very filling. The staff were very nice. I got wrong for putting salt on before tasting it ✋😞lol. Made to feel very welcome. Shall definitely return when we go through for shopping as its right beside Lime St train station. They also do other food which also looks good. Thank you see...
