The Blue Anchor is a decent little Gastro Pub based on the main road that cuts through West Kirby,…read moreMeols and Hoylake. It is quite a cosy little pub and has a food section and a bar area, a pool table and a wide range of characters that regularly drink there. I would say that it's quite a friendly pub and that it caters for everybody including students, adults, OAP's and workers. They have a wide range of draught and bottled beers, a range of house wines, a range of bottled beers and a full bar of spirits. They're food ranges from baked potatoes through to steaks and pies and are served as traditional pub food, i.e., it fills the gap but is nothing A-La-Carte! I wouldn't recommend this place for a rowdy night out, it's more as pub you can go for a chat and a meal and a few games of pool with a mate. The service is friendly and the beer sinks down a treat!

What can I say about this pub that Facebook hasn't already done?…read more I can say for sure that the current management have done a sterling job of running a tight ship, and are always happy to mix with their regular clientele. Live music is always good there, along with the occasional visit from members of the sundowners, who have the odd jam session of a weekend to entertain the locals. Even though the pub is small, (not as small as its neighbours at the plasterers arms), it does have the space for a pool table, dart board, Juke box and double sided bar. Which makes it a comfortable yet cozy place to spend an evening or two, enjoying ales and music until home time rears its sometimes unwanted self. The pub is situated just off the main high street in Hoylake, but is a mere stones throw from the promenade, so you can enjoy a lovely view along with fish and chips, before your evening drink. Hopefully those who see this review can stop on by, and give the place a little try.

As you can imagine the decor is therefore very sophisticated and modern contemporary with the walls adorning art work from various artists local and otherwise. The environment is therefore very inviting but not as inviting as the great service. So it should be they did after all last year they did win 'Most Professional Waiting Team' award. The menu is very much classical and the food is great. I'd recommend you try the chicken breast stuffed with fresh asparagus and panfried to perfection served deliciously on a bed of butternut squash mash. Now that is what I call a mouthwaterful!! At £13.50 it's worth every penny. Once you've fed yourself you can always wash down that fine cuisine with some fresh cocktails at the bar where the mixologist will whip you up a crushed ice treat. This really is a great restaurant bar. It's quite clear that the owners have brought their personality to this part of the wirral, and I love that. Long may that mentality continue and little gems keep appearing on the map...Amen!!

From the people behind the increasingly popular Koi bar in West Kirby came The Portrait House!

You have two options when you eat here, the early doors menu which is three courses for £12.95, or the 'a la carte' menu which has starters ranging from about £6 to £9 and mains from £12 to £16.
