I felt that the price for the meals was fantastic and to be honest I have been other places where the food is more expensive and not of the same quality. Having a family of 5 we are always on a budget so tea out at the Royal Oak is very reasonable. The landlord and landlady as well as staff are well mannered and nothing is to much effort for them. Barry and Donna are always welcoming to their pub and it is a lovely end of the day..a home from home I should say.

This little beauty of a restaurant came to the fore almost a decade ago. Now the story behind Marsh cat is an intriguing but strange one. Legend has it or the marketing people at the restaurant would have it that the spirit of a cat owned by a landlord long long ago roams free. Hmmmm fair enough at least they didn't name the restaurant after the address, like, 60 hope street!!!! Marsh cat has during its existence picked up a great reputation for quality of food. People who eat out in the Wirral know this place very well, and for those of you visiting....for whatever reason...should thus follow the local crowd indeed. Deep deep breath takingly fresh is how I'd describe the menu at this place. Mainly because I am a big fan of Glocalization....yes I did say glocal and not global. Bring all things global to the locality of your humble abode wherever it may be, and it makes me smile. Thus on the starters you will find Chicken tikka lusciously marinated in ginger, garlic, yogurt, lime juice and chilli, chompingly skewered, char grilled and served with minted yogurt dip to take off the edge. Contrastingly your neighbour is free to order the lamb kidneys au poivre, which are sauteed in all its glory avec mushrooms shallots, cracked peppercorns and cream..mmmmmm For the main course as I'm not a big fan of steak, don't do pigs, and am a sucker for fingerlickin goood chicken, Coconut chicken salsa was definitely the way forward. Sautéed with sesame oil, mint leaves, chilli, garlic ginger coriander, lime juice, spring onion and coconut milk, the ingredients created an infusion complimented by the noodles. It definitely stirred up a storm of activity inside that mouthly void I kept filling. Bosh!!!!!!!! So all you ghostbusters out there, looking for something strange in this neighbourhood. Don't waste your time looking for no ghosts, just sit back and enjoy a bite or two to eat at the Marsh cat.

This is an excellent restaurant overlooking the marshes of the beautiful coastal area of Wirral…read moreknown as Parkgate. Parkgate is a well known spot of local wealth and beauty; it gets incredibly busy on sunny days and is famed locally for its excellent homemade ice cream. The Marsh Cat is highly regarded as one of the most popular restaurants in Parkgate, it's always busy, the service is great and the home made food is excellent. I've eaten here a few times over the years and can highly recommend paying this restaurant a visit. It's ideal because you can take a walk along the front afterwards or even end up in one of many local pubs that line the coastal parade. I can't recommend any food in particular as I'm aware that the menu changes frequently and I haven't eaten there in a while!

Well, you can't get more authentic than a thatched roof and a bunch of friendly locals now can you? Sigh, even at the tender age of 26 I'm thinking this is the sort of place I could happily retire. In wintertime I imagine this pub would feel especially cosy, with a roaring fire and snug little corners. The drink prices are pretty normal really, rather reasonable and food-wise it actually has an award-winning chef at the helm. The restaurant is kind of separate but it's still perfectly acceptable to grab a few beverages and take them through with you. There's plenty of choice and everyone is well catered for, including vegetarians, plus the desserts are really something else and everything is truly homemade. Lunchtime special offers also come much appreciated.

But inside it's quite a 'local' place; it's the kind of place that doesn't seem overly friendly with strangers. This behaviour always baffles me with a pub. When I used to manage a wine bar, you welcomed new blood around the bar because you'd get fed up talking to the same old people! No messing around in this place either, as it's well known as the watering hole of all the local police! But nevertheless, the beers good, the views are great, they have a full bar and plenty of comfortable seats. It's the kind of pub you can quite easily relax in and enjoy the crossword of a good book. It's not a party place!
