The Frank Hornby - J D Wetherspoon — Restaurant in Sefton

Ordered a 14 oz Angus steak with jacket potato with no butter flat mushroom and a tomato.... Well as for the steak I asked for medium that was gorgeous couldn't fault it... Flat mushroom am telling ye!! Looked like it had been ran over and put in the dryer was the size of a 5p no flavour was horrid!!... As for the jacket potato it was moldy and the potato was brown told the waiter he said that's disgusting sorry about that said he would bring another one out didn't even have a pea left on me plate when he came with another one 10 minutes later!! this time it wasn't even cut because they knew it was the same I said am not having this n he still said do you want another? R you taking the piss mate no thanks!! He said can I get you anything else like a potion of chips!!! he brought chips out well I say chips They were just batter didn't see no potato in them! Which is good could of been like my sweaty mouldy potato! they were discussing dripping wet with grease wouldn't feed them the dog only been there once and would never go again!! Oh and the girl behind the bar could of cracked a smile!,,, there was another couple next to us who had pie and chips n the fellas pie was stone cold they took it and said they doing a fresh one yet more like put it together again and banged it in the microwave seriously wouldn't go there not if you fancy getting food poisoning would love the Heath inspectors go in...

If you like Macao or Hornby trains then this is the pub for you. There are lots of bits of McCone on display and also several niches with older Hornby models in them

Frank Hornby formerly known as the Everest hotel is a decent JD Wetherspoons Just off the M58 junction for maghull/kirkby and it’s my local. 🙂

Very small car park less than 10 or 12 spaces and difficult to turn . You can park on the nearby roads but again limited space and quite narrow. This pub is on the 31 bus route from Maghull station.

The food is okay generally and the beer range is absolutely top-notch . Seems to specialise in decently kept real Ale and there are usually five six or even eight real ales on the pumps including ciders and stouts.

The bar is delightful to look at and has a large range of premium spirits also canned and bottled specialty brands.

Staff are friendly and service prompt

On the Wetherspoon scale, I give it a 4 out of 5. But if you are used to proper restaurant food the food probably rates at 2 out of 4 although you might get lucky and get a decent standard Wetherspoons stock meal.

Before 9 pm, it’s very family friendly and there is no swearing in the establishment that I’ve ever heard.

Go and visit, enjoy your meal and have...

Food was lovely and the majority of the staff where delightful. The only complaint I have is that one of the waiters in particular did nothing but hassle my girlfriend and attempt to patronise me by flirting with her and trying to rub it in my face, after speaking to the manager who was very helpful and couldn't have been any nicer, he then had a word with him explaining under no circumstances was he to serve us or infact be anywhere near our table because of the severity of his behaviour and how uncomfortable he was making my girlfriend, the waiter then proceeded to wait until I had left to go to the bathroom or out for a cigarette to then target my girlfriend once again knowing that she was on her own and started to purposely go out of his way to make her uncomfortable and disrespect her. I wouldn't say this is a reflection on all whetherspoons staff because they couldn't have been any politer and helpful, but I don't think this waiter should be working with the public and I think he should've been taken off the floor as soon as he was reported. Once again, lovely food and the majority of the staff where delightful but unfortunately my experience was...
