The Telegraph Inn — Restaurant in Wirral

Immediately on entering it looked, felt, and smelt cleaner than most high-end restaurants, even with a few dogs in the bar area. The staff and few regulars were lovely, friendly, and welcoming, pointing out every section and how it had changed since my last visit pre-COVID.

The whole pub has been refurbished, and looks and feels like it deserves to be the go-to for Mount Pleasant and Telegraph Road area. Now with an outside TV ready for the warmer weather, and tentative talks that music nights might be on the cards again....

Couldn't give a full five stars because we didn't try any food, and it wouldn't be fair to review something without knowing. However, I've heard the new management will be hiring a chef soon, so fingers crossed.

These times are for joining together and helping small businesses not turning people away. If you do not welcome me with my kids you will not get my business without my kids either.

P.s. 3.30pm it was dead and...

Used to have a lovely beer garden, but it's now been replaced with grey gravel, all the trees cut down and the bushes gone. Feels soulless and sad now. Just the sound of cars driving by, no birds or anything.

The staff seem hit and miss, some are lovely and look like fun characters, but can also feel a little cold.

Prices are slightly above average, both for food and drinks.

Hoping the garden situation is temporary as they finish developing, as it kept the other problems in the tolerable section, but now it's...
