Wavertree Town Hall — Restaurant in Liverpool

Well, we have eaten at many better places. The evening did not go well. We - six of us - were put in a dark room at the back although we would have preferred to sit in the front room that has windows but were told all the tables were reserved (nobody ever came to sit at them though while we were there). Eventually more guests arrived in the back room with us. We weren't told that the usual Tapas were no longer on offer until we had ordered our drinks so only had roast dinners as an option, which would be fine except that we went specially for the tapas. The other tables received their drinks, then their dinners, long before we did, and were actually already leaving when we were told - two whole hours after we had arrived! - that there were no Yorkshire puddings left. This seemed very rude, we had ordered them almost two hours ago, surely they could have told us before, or served our dinner on time and then the later arrivals would have had to do without. They offered to reduce the bill somewhat, and finally we received our dinner. None of the food was worth the wait. The "roast" potatoes were pale, and raw and cold in the middle, the lamb overdone and mainly gristle (almost ALL gristle), the chicken dry, the spare ribs dry and hard ("falling off the bone tender" in the menue) with an inedible sauce, asking for some bread resulted in two slices of baguette with a terrible rancid garlic butter (how on earth can you spoil garlic butter?) which cost five pounds. I could go on. None of my guests enjoyed their starters or their dinner, the highest praise from a very polite guest was, "Well, it was all right I suppose." The whole fiasco cost us almost 200 pounds, and that was with the reduction. The place should not offer food if they don't know how to cook and serve it properly. We will definitely never be...

I was appalled at my experience at this establishment yesterday. I have spent a lot of time and £ in this bar and restaurant over the last 3 & a half years. Have recommended it to so many people. I will be doing the opposite now and will never step over the threshold again as was made to feel so uncomfortable by the manager. Especially as a woman on your own, please be warned as I felt so unsafe. Like a common criminal when I am a local resident and well known to other business owners. I am setting up my own business in the locality and I will never host an event there. I actually got a refund on an event I’d previously booked. Disgusting behaviour that will be reported to the police. Do not allow your daughters to go especially on their own. I asked for a safe space and was told to leave. Absolutely appalled at this apparent female owned and ran place. Not surprised it’s changed hands. The owners sister in particular made me feel threatened and intimidated. I walked out without finishing my overpriced drink cos she made me feel so unwelcome and uncomfortable. Avoid at all cost. Nicer places a...

We visited this venue for a family members funeral in June 2021 and I must say I was impressed; the function room upstairs is fantastic; the room is modern; spacious and really comfortable. The room was well done out for us; the service provided by the staff was absolutely second to none; we had our own bar and their was always a waiter/waitress ready to take your order; it was so efficient.

I was also really impressed by the great selection of alcohol on offer; lots of different gins, champagne and even the very best cocktails - I was in my element. The food was provided in the package and we got the curry; chicken drumsticks and sandwiches; all made/cooked to perfection. Overall, I can’t thank the staff for the amazing service they provided to us and I am just so happy we have found...
