The Farmers Arms — Restaurant in Wirral

Really disappointed.

We chose to eat at the farmers arms because they have a decent park for the kids. We have a two year old so wanted to stay close to the park to keep an eye on her. We picked a table and I went in to get menus. I was told they only serve the tables under the awning and to order food at the inside bar and drinks from the outside bar.

My wife and I picked our food and back in I went to order. I was then told by the lady behind the bar that I had to go and find a server to place my order with. I don’t know if she was able to take my order on the till behind the bar or not, but the other till was 10 foot away and there were no customers waiting at the bar (if it had been busy, I totally understand not being able to leave her post).

So I went out to find someone and could t, so ended up coming back in and gave my order to a waitress who’d arrived. She was very pleasant and checked for allergies etc. my wife order drinks from the outside bar as instructed, but had to go back inside to order a cup of tea. She gave up on they and shared my drink.

The food arrived quickly and and was a really tasty, although not the cheapest (we just got starters and split a side because of the cost) We took it near the park, so we could keep an eye on the kids.

As we’re we’re finishing the waitress who told me to order at the bar came over and told us we couldn’t eat at that table and we had to relocate. I felt a little bit like I was getting a slap on the legs. I explained that we wanted to stay near our kids in the park because I’d already escorted one child back to her mum who fell down the slide and was in tears. Her mum had had to sit soar away that she’d missed it. If only there had been some seat right next to the park, for people to be close. Anyway, we wrapped up the rest of the food and left to go to a bear park.

Pros Good quality food Food arrived quickly Has a decent park for kids

Cons You can’t sit next to the park if you want to eat (still don’t know why?!) I wasn’t impressed with the tone of the waitress who came to tell us off. It just felt messy and hard work. Not the relaxing lunch...

I booked a table for 9 today and was given the worst table in the pub, sun beaming in our eyes and all cramped together. When ordering they said it would be a 45 minute to an hour wait on food we wasn’t told this when we booked the table 50 minutes before hand. We had 3 separate orders for the same table, the man who took our order said he would make sure our meals all came together. After waiting 45 mins our food came well should I say 2 adult meals came then we waited another 30 minutes for the other 4 adult meals and a child’s meal then waited another 15 minutes after forgetting 2 child’s meals which at this time the kids was absolutely starving waiting an hour and a half just for their food. The roast dinners was terrible, the veg was hard, we had 2 small spuds on a roast that was rock hard, not enough gravy and the carrot and turnip was for some reason spicy which meant the child’s roast dinner we ordered and mashed together for a baby ended up not getting eaten as we didn’t realise it would be spicy before mashing it together. Not once did a member of staff ask how our meals was and nobody came to tidy our table so we ended up doing that ourselves. No thanks and no apologies from any staff members !! They just seemed rushed off their feet and more bothered about the guests to the christening that they had on. I noticed a lot of other people had left a lot of food mainly the roast dinner so surely they mustn’t of been happy with their meal either. Would not recommend for food so definitely won’t be returning !! Was going to say the only thing they got right was the drinks but then I’d be lying they even got one of...

Mothers day 25

I really enjoyed our visit on Sunday however there was a situation with our food which I feel I'd like to voice as I dont think it was handled very well. Due to inside being fully booked we arrived early to grab a table outside. There was 8 of us all together and managed to get two benches that had already been pushed together. As we were ordering the person taking our order said our food will come all together which we thought they meant as a group. The menu was either two or three courses. So we chose two courses each. Adults had a starter and main and kids had main dessert so when our mains came out before our starters we were surprised. Also the kids icecream came out before their mains which as you can imagine with a 3 and a 4 year old it didn't go down very well. We asked if it could be brought out when we are ready for it but we're told that they don't offer this service outside. We asked if the kids icecream could at least be put in the freezer to keep it cokd and were were told no. We even spoke to the manager which she said no too. This is a bit unfair as we are paying the same as the customers inside but yet we get a different service. Surely offer a different menu for people eating outside if that's the case. My family had 2 adults and 1 toddler which we paid £130 for our meals and drinks that day. My little one didn't have his icecream in the end because it had melted and our mains were cold by the time we got to them. It's an awful shame too as the food was lovely and the staff running the food were...
