Netherton — Restaurant in Sefton

A quick edit on my review. We called today for our Sunday dinner, up to now we've just had the regular beef roasts but today the wife pushed the boat out and ordered me a large meal. No problem with the quality of the meal but there was with the quantity. The only difference between the two meals was that the large meal had 3 Yorkshire puddings and the regular had one. Absent difference otherwise. I did mention it to the waitress but she just said that that was the way the large portion was, she said that she would mention it to the manager but no one bothered to come over before we finished and left. Big tip.....don't order a large meal unless you want to overdose on Yorkshire pudding.

I've had some pretty awful meals in the Nethy in the past and as a result haven't been in there for a couple of years. I reluctantly went on Friday for my daughter's birthday and what a turn around. I ordered 6 different meals and they were all served within 10 minutes of ordering. Each meal was cooked perfectly and of a reasonable size. The staff were friendly and attentive. The bar staff were also on the ball with the service being quick. I've only got two negative comments, It wasn't very warm in the pub but to mitigate that it was an exceptionally cold night, they did have extra fan heaters on but even so it was a bit uncomfortable. The table that we were allocated, (table 20) doesn't allow much room between the table and the bench seats but then maybe that's an incentive to lose a bit of weight. Would I go back?...

My friend and I meet up for lunch about 3 or 4 times a year and this is usually where we go. This time was extremely disappointing, though.

For 1pm on a weekday afternoon, the place was surprisingly empty and very quiet.

The food here has been consistently good in the past, with decent sized portions but was a total let down on this occasion.

The lasagne was very sloppy and very, very, greasy. The meat was of very low quality and contained a lot of gristle. It was so disgusting that I left a fair amount. Usually, a member of staff visits the table during your meal to see if everything is ok. This time, this did not happen. When the dishes were collected, we were then asked if everything was ok. I said about the lasagne being dreadful and pointed out the gristle I'd left at the side. I was told that I should've said something earlier. I don't even recall an apology. Usually, I'd be asked if I wanted something else instead, but that didn't happen either.

I decided to try a lovely sounding and looking dessert. Now, I know that you don't usually get huge portions, but over £5 for a tiny sliver?! It also tasted decidedly underwhelming.

As I said, this was our usual haunt for our lunch meets, but if the next time is as bad as this time, we'll be looking for...

I have been visiting here all my life as I live local, I have noticed a decline over the last couple of months. Waited 25 mins for drink ordered on app before I had to go bar and was told she dosent look up at orders she only serves the bar. visited lastnight and the food was disgusting, I ordered the sizzler and was told by the waitress to be carefull the plate was hot which was far from the case the food was luke warm and the chicken was mushy with cold fries. My parter ordered the mixed grill the sausages were hard like they had been from the morning breakfast and the chicken was also mushy, onion rings unedible and the chips also cold. He has spent the morning visiting the toilet due to this meal. We have been frequent visitors to the nethy but have now decided to go elsewhere till the quality of food improves and also the service. This has been happening multiple times latley it's really gone downhill. Really hope you sort this out as it used to be our favourite pub but unfortunately this is not the...
