The Wayfarer - Carta

We held a wake for my father at The Wayfarer and we would just like to say that from making the booking to finally leaving the management and staff were absolutely superb. We have had so many complimentary comments regarding the food and service from...our friends and guests. Thank you all at The Wayfarer for helping to make it a special day.

Recently visited with family and booked in for Sunday Lunch which was very good indeed. Nice warm welcome, lots of friendly staff. Nice interior and a good menu. The roast beef was very good indeed and great value. I had the sirloin steak which was...cooked to perfection. Great choice of beers and wines and they even have Pauliner on draught. We will be returning soon, fully recommended!

On booking, I was told we could have a table for at for lunch in the dining room, but no later, as they had a party coming in and would need the table back for Fine, but, although we arrived on...time at almost we still had no food. DO NOT HAVE THE DUCK my friend had it and it was inedible. Couldn't even cut through it. At no apology I'll mention it to the chef. Hello,,,,,. don't bother, we won't be coming again. for Friday lunch come on and we were frozen stiff and glad get back in our car to get warm on the way back to Southport. Warning all pensioners.

Visited Saturday evening as a group of Drinks orders took an age to arrive .Had to continuously try to get staffs attention to order drinks , water that we ordered before meal still hadn't arrived by the time we had finished our meal and...after asking for the time. When ordering our meals asked if the pate was smooth with the response of it's no bits in it if that's what you mean . I would expect any server to have at least basic knowledge of the menu. That said the food was amazing but unfortunately due to the poor customer service wouldn't visit again.

If I could give it minus I would Told to arrive prompt at allocated time Which we arrived mins early kept waiting in a tent minutes after start time the kids were told a story of birth of Jesus and the three...scientists, not allowed to say wise men shown a door (supposed be the inn) And a barn but's it a shed. Then children were guided to seating area to wait for Santa's wife to call their name after mins they were called Came out with gifts? Which were a book for the year old Now on sale at your local poundworld The year old fared worse he got one inch candy stick and pieces of Lego Which light up ,but they do not, how can Anyone give a child two tiny pieces of Lego is beyond me Also they...

Been coming here for years and always thoroughly enjoyed both drink and food. Since recent lockdown menu has remained standard, boring and uninventive. Can’t believe a classic dish of fish and chips could not be accompanied with tartare sauce! The reason given was the chef...didn’t have enough time to make it! Unbelievable! If you come to my house, I have tartare sauce, horseradish, ketchup, English French mustard, balsamic vinegar and even more staple kitchen cupboard ingredients. Food was average in taste, cost above average compared with other local establishments in the area. Would I return? No. Would I recommend? No. Would I try The Stocks in Parbold? Yes Would I try Windmill in Parbold... Ver carta

The Wayfarer is hosting special Santa weekends, advertised with Christmas Market ,Ice Rink etc. Sounded very festive so my daughter booked for little grandson to visit Santa followed by Sunday lunch for rest of family. What a DISAPPOINTMENT !! BEWARE, Overflow car park is a...very muddy field, the Christmas Market is a handful of craft stalls, the ice-rink WAS NOT BUILT. Waited OVER AN HOUR past pre-booked time to see Santa. Gift from Santa was a small thick card type baby book for a three year old So then into the pub for lunch ! The place was absolutely packed Covid safety We were taken through the pub and taken to a tatty tent outside !! the heaters were not even on . When I queried why w...

We went on Friday night to see Father Christmas. We knew it wasnt just a run in a grab a present type thing we wanted this to be an experience and we most definitely got it. The children were asked to complete a form...about whether they'd be good, what they were thankful for and what they would like for Christmas. On completion they were guided around and told the nativity story. They met the wise men, saw an Inn keepers door and were led to a stable where the baby was lying. They were given gold chocolate coins (which they were delighted with and finally led into a huge tent to sit and wait for their turn to see Santa. The tent gave me all the feels of Christmas. Music was playing, drinks...

Very disappointed to have to compose this review feeling like we have given The Wayfarer chance after chance but now enough is enough and I hope this review helps them to reevaluate their staffing and operating procedures. I would describe my friends and I as...regulars of this establishment and this is the last disappointing experience that we will be encountering. Our experiences are a catalogue of poor management, inadequate management training and generally poor customer service and a complete lack of gratitude for patrons that are supporting their business especially following such turbulent times as we have all experienced recently. To list a few examples: We were left sitting at the b... Ver carta
