"They offer a good selection of vegetarian dishes, and the menu is family-friendly, ideal for those dining with young children. We tried one of their specials, which they happily adapted for us to be vegetarian. It was a goat cheese pizza topped with rocket and Parma ham, with the ham substituted for cherry tomatoes—absolutely delicious! We also sampled another pizza from the daily menu called "Summertime," which included pine nuts, figs, and honey, but notably without a tomato base. While it was beautifully crafted, we found it a bit too sweet, which we should have expected given the ingredients. Alongside our pizzas, we ordered a side of chips. They were nice but a bit on the greasy side. Additionally, we tried some amazing olives with chili; if you love spicy flavors, these are a must-try! Overall, this is a fantastic little find, perfect for families looking for freshly made pizzas at fair prices."

"My friend is disabled at the moment, due to illness, when we looked for somewhere that had allergy friendly as my friend is gluten free. We asked the young lady if there was anything available gluten free for lunch which was around 1.15pm.she said no nothing oh we have a chocolate brownie, as my friend had struggled to get in she didn’t want to try anywhere else so sat with a cake for her lunch, I asked if it was possible to have a salad, told no we don’t do salads. I asked for a side salad with my sandwich to be told it had to be In sandwich.very dissatisfied with today I was taking my lovely friend out and also she was trying to cheer me up from my husband’s bereavement."

"Lovely atmosphere. Tasty starters, both Ox cheek and Lamb tender and the beer battered onion rings are the best I have EVER had!!! Deffo recommend you try these! All food well seasoned. The prices very reasonable. The only downside was when listening to the specials at another table, it became apparent our first waitress had missed out one of them. If I am in Rainhill again I would like to come back and try something different."

"After being recommended vigour by an friend, I popped in for lunch. On arrival, I was greeted by a friendly staff member who made me feel welcome. Going through the extensive menu full of delicious delights and delicacies, I opted for shredded pork tortillas and pork bao bao for starters, and steak (medium rare and eggs (soft poached. For mains with a refreshing cola with ice, and a creamy coffee for after. The atmosphere in there is really quite nice. The rustic vibe, of exposed bricks, rot iron fixtures and neon signs gave it plenty of character. While the ability to see into the kitchen gave you a good sense of connection to where the action truly takes place. Their shredded pork tortillas came as a trio with a lovely dip. Being a starter, they were small but flavorful. The bao bao which i can only describe as tortillas but in a softer and thicker wrap with a slightly sweet note to them were lovely, and made for a pleasant new experience. They were quite accommodating when I asked for peppercorn sauce for my steak, and managed to do a flat ironed steak to perfect medium rare. With creamy yolk gently glazing it, every mouthful was a joy. I will also note their coffee was particularly creamy and frothy which I really liked. Now, the one potential down side for some is the prices. While the food I had was lovely, and I don't at all regret going. I will say it's not somewhere you go to eat on a tight budget. You pay for the atmosphere, and the food quality is above many typical cookie cutter restaurants. My meal came to just over £34 drinks included, and while I can't make it a regular, I surely will be making it a spot my son and I go to treat ourselves. I will say that if I had my son with me at the time, I could have split the starters and just added chips to the mains to feed both of us quite happily for not much more. Should you be in a position to go regularly, take advantage of their loyalty scheme and get some tasty perks."

"--- We had a wonderful dining experience that I want to share honestly and in detail. On Friday, July 15th, we celebrated my partner's birthday at this beautiful restaurant, and I was truly impressed by both the quality of the food and the service provided by the staff. Upon arrival, we were quickly shown to our table, which was stunningly decorated. Shortly after being seated, our drink orders were taken, followed by our food orders. The staff informed us that there was a large party in the café area, which might result in a slight delay compared to their normal service. Despite this heads-up, it didn't take long for our appetizers to arrive. We had ordered three starters to share, but only two were initially brought to the table. When the server asked if we needed anything else, I mentioned the missing third starter. There had been a mix-up, and it hadn't been prepared, but I appreciated their attentiveness. Mistakes can happen anywhere, and it's how they handle them that reflects the quality of a restaurant. We enjoyed the two appetizers we received, and the third one arrived shortly after, with the waitress sincerely apologizing for the error and informing us that we wouldn’t be charged for the delayed dish. I thought this was a lovely gesture and demonstrated how committed they are to keeping their customers happy, especially since we hadn’t expressed any dissatisfaction. All three starters were delicious, and the staff promptly cleared our plates. We were informed that there would be a 10-minute wait for our main courses, as the chefs were completing orders for the large party. I appreciated the communication again, which added to our positive experience. When the main courses arrived, they were absolutely delightful and served in generous portions! I’ve seen some negative comments about the dessert situation at this restaurant, which I think is a bit unfair. While there may not be a printed dessert menu, the waitstaff are more than happy to inform you about the available options. We chose to skip dessert, as we were already quite full from the main courses, but the desserts we did see being served looked incredible. Overall, we had a lovely visit, spending about two hours in the restaurant. We will definitely be returning in the future!"
