"Re-think!. Right. A stern correction to my glowing review below, as we've now had a couple of duds. The first was a dinner on New Year's Eve Eve which seemed very much B Team eg the lardons in a salad were just thin strips of anaemic supermarket bacon. Not horrendous, but not exactly covering themselves in honour. Then another dinner last Saturday, when, despite booking and arriving on time, we were left standing for almost twenty minutes whilst waiting staff ignored us, the owner assured us she'd be a minute, but then just hovered round other waiters serving a large table. Pressure to sit in the bar area and order drinks (presumably to aid the margin) and then a grace-less seating at our dining table.My son's rabbit terrine with ham hock had multiple small rabbit bones in it. Not good. We complained and were promised something compliementary, which never materialised, and it was left on the bill. His red snapper was then woefully overcooked.My sea bass with textures of rhubarb' and salad was an OK cooked fillet with slices of cooked rhubarb and a supermarket, undressed salad. My venison was MUCH better, thankfully. They also messed up my son's wine order.But the thing which now sticks in my throat a bit about this place is learning that the owner advertises for staff in Eastern Europe. All the waiters have been transplanted. That makes me worry a) how much/little they're paid and b) just seems a bit wrong on the Wirral, given it's had the stuffing kicked out of it with the demise of industry, to such an extent the biggest employers in the county are Tesco and Aldi.It's had chances now to follow up on its early promise, so won't be back.Destination Dining. Sheldrakes is an old converted sailing club/beach shack overlooking the marshes of the Dee Estuary and the North Wales coast.The interior was utterly unexpected opulent, funky, cocktail lounge type without being up itself. And the menu was moderately ambitious which, again, was a surprise for somewhere mins walk from our front door and, tbh, in the middle of nowhere.Prosecco to start served in proper champagne glasses, then wonderfully cooked HUGE scallops for me, on morcilla, with a swoosh of pureed salsify and pumpkin dust, and braised pigs cheek for himself with a Scotch quail's egg (never one to say no to slow cooked porky products).A lamb rack, again perfectly cooked to a blush, with a fennel and potato rosti and truffle sauce for me, and seared snapper (skin was so crisp) and a crabby parmentier potato base with a pear cider and mussel sauce for him.All really, really good. There's clearly a dab hand in the kitchen as everything was cooked to the teetering on the brink of undercooked point (which I love), and the (oddly, entirely Romanian, apparently the restaurant advertised there so loads of people came over and live locally) waiting staff were charming and efficient.We were on the for courses Autumn special, but were actually too full for pudding, alas, but will be back. Again and again.Other intriguing highlights on the menu include: home roasted smoked salmon with a lobster cake and vodka chantilly, Autumn mushrooms on gingerbread toast, pan fried turbot with a salsify and port reduction, peppered venison with an aniseed and parsnip puree and a beetroot and potato dauphinoise, lime panacotta with a G&T sorbet and olive caviar...I will enjoy our menu exploration! They do a sounds-a-bit-better-than-Toby Sunday carvery, and bistro dishes at lunch. Only word of warning, which came from the waiter, is that they make their money by hosting weddings at the weekend (we were one of only tables last night). They actually have three this wet-and-wild October Wirral weekend. So call ahead as, with the best will in the world, I think you might get a bit ignored if they have wedding guests to look after too.But thoroughly recommended. For once, food to match a view."

presumably, the now closed restaurant will not be opened again. the website of the wirral council planning shows a planning request for the talk of sheldrakes in a private house (drawings look fabulous sad. end of a ära.

Lovely setting with good servuce.however the food didnt live up to expectations.both the starter main course were luke warm at best.starters...scallops were gritty,duck breast cold.mains...lamb cutlets were either well done or still breathing.there are much better restaurants giving much better value.very overpriced for the quality.not to be repeated.

Shabby building, consistently poor service and really terrible food. such a scandal as the situation is good and with a better administration this could be a big goal. Also, as I understand it, the tips do not go to the personal, but go directly to the owners. what if it is true is all wrong. Also, quite suspicious, many of the excellent reviews here have been done by people who have never done other TA reviews. Hmmm... to avoid! Ver carta

very friendly and welcoming, couples, families, formal dinning and walker alike. eating and drinking is always very good and the view on no, terrace in sunshine, open fire in the winter months, more than for the light...ad-hoc furniture and service. a place to relax and enjoy the day! the restaurant is currently due to the kovid / winter, but still open for functions and due to the fully opened in the March 2022 according to their Facebook page.

We made a reservation at this restaurant for Saturday, November 13th a week in advance. We traveled 150 miles to get to the restaurant, only to find it closed. When we called the number, a lady informed us that it had been closed for a few weeks. Another lady then spoke to us and said it had only been closed for a few days and that they had notified all reservations. We were disappointed with the lack of communication and professionalism. However, we were saved by a restaurant called Sunlight at the last minute and had an amazing evening with delicious food.

Appauling, took 25 minutes to bring drinks (only about 20 other people in), took food order I double checked the manageres had 6 starters and 6 mains, starters came out in good time and were excellant. Main course came out but they completley forgot one...main dish after 20 minutes it still hadnt come out. The rest of the dishes that came out were cold. To make matters worse all the staff then avoided coming over to check on us. It cost us alot of money in a taxi to get there and back, ruined the entire evening. Would never go back. I know the industry has been hit hard so you would expect them to try harder. Ver carta

The good part I could not fault my meal of King Prawns starter and Fillet Steak apart from being served on cold plates. Absolutely delicious. The less good part We were seated in the side room where there were tables for larger groups;...ours had two boards overlaid giving an uneven join in the middle and covered with a paper cover. I found the room unappealing and cold. The bad part An mistake with the order at our table was dealt with very poorly by the (inexperienced manager and could easily have ruined what was a special event. The restaurant has lovely views and the potential to be so much better. I wish I could have given a better review.

Having never been to sheldrakes I risked our date night off a Facebook feed of the view and thought this would be an idea date night with my other half as these are precious. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT we were greeted at the door by...a pretty you girl and made to feel welcome from the start. My husband and I both love steak and it was cooked to perfection which seems so hard for restaurants to get right, but not a problem here. The girl also came back during our meal to check everything was ok, I’m sorry I didn’t catch your name but I remember you were new to the company so I’m sure you will go far. We enjoyed coffee and dessert and felt this was one of the best night we have had for a long time...
