If the weather cooperates then sitting outside is the better option surrounded by old established trees and a very relaxing atmosphere. There's also outdoor speakers which give a decent sound. Service was great despite a limited menu, which was outside their control. Food was pretty good, but not great. The olives are decent stone in ones, but in a plain oil which with nocerella olives means only a very mild flavour. The Moroccan chicken wrap was similar, a nice amount of chicken which was warm and moist, but only a scrape of hummus to provide the Moroccan element, it needed the chicken itself to be spiced or another element to make it great. I had the Eton mess for desert and they kindly subbed the passion fruit sorbet for vanilla ice cream. That's just my preference that Eton mess is strawberrys only. The bill was £66 for two appetizers 2 mains, 2 deserts 2 cocktails and 2 drinks. Toilets very clean and a super little spot, and not to far from the beaten track.

The service is second to none. I don't think I've ever eaten at a friendlier restaurant. Check out the offer deals on their website and download a menu. They are so compelling that it's difficult not to go. The gluten free menu covers most of the a la carte menu. You'll have to look closely to spot the substitute items Check out the photos of my gambis pol pil and the iberian pork with black pudding, chorizo, spinach and fancy mash. It was simply divine. The pork crackling was crispy and the pork was simply juicy and melt in the mouth. Fantastic standard of cooking for this price. Great chefs, really great chefs So book and enjoy a lovely meal in convivial surroundings and finish your beautiful bottle of wine in the lovely garden like we did especially if its a warm summer evening. 10/10 easily. Thankyou Ego's

Definatly Style over Substance Food looked nice but wasn't actually very good. Wanted a mixed kebab but without Lamb and was told no as they were too busy to just have the chicken and Chorizo one not very helpful. Chorizo was chewy almost rubbery & chicken was hard and over cooked don't get me wrong the kebab looked great on the plate just didn't really taste of anything well apart from cucumber there were loads of them. Starters weren't very good either prawns were quite bland and I had the chorizo but sent that back (wish I'd have been quick enough to change my kebab to just chicken) and got the haloumi fries which were ok. Wouldn't return even the deserts were bland its a nice place but £5.45 a pint is just ridiclious and everything simply looked better than it was. Edit - Unable to comment on your reply so adding it here. We did inform a member of staff at the time and she was quite obnoxious and unhelpful.

With Wednesday being a ‘meal deal’ event I’d definitely choose a less busy time for a quiet celebration meal out. I really enjoyed the prawn piri piri starter but the main meal was just ok, with luke warm chips and fatty lamb rump. We ordered a bottle of wine on arrival, which we had to remind them about after the starters arrived. The wine was placed on the table without being opened or taste sampled. To finish we had a small rhubarb crumble and cappuccino. The whole idea being to eat together, we had to wait at least 8mins until the second crumble arrived and even then they forgot the custard. To sum up, the only attraction is the birthday meal deal ‘buy one get one free’. The food was a pub average standard and the service not so good, probably due to it being a very busy Wednesday.

Not bad place. It used to be a typical pub called the Punchbowl with a typical pub menu. Now it's called EGO. It's a popular place with plenty of free parking in a quaint village setting. Reception on arrival is quick and friendly. Took us to our clean table straight away. Jugs of water appeared. No glasses and we had to goto the bar to get our own drinks. The bar staff are really helpful, chatty and engaging. I ordered the ribeye £26 medium. When the food arrived the steak was well done but really tasty. Can't fault it. The jugs of water are still there. Great place, great food. Just the jugs of water with no glasses and getting our own drinks knocked a star off

Visited 1 week ago with husband and father in law for a brunch, and it was really nice, between the relaxed atmosphere, friendly waiters, decor and even good music being played in the background, we had a wonderful time there and we will go back in the future when we visit Liverpool again! Plenty of parking space right outside the door! Among ourselves we had a yummy and creamy beetroot soup with warm bread and butter, my husband and his father both had steaks and beer, and I had coffee which was surprisingly good, being from Brazil, I am a bit hard to please when it comes to my coffee, but it was a good one!
