I had an awful fish & chips dinner in London last week so he brought me here to make up for it as he says they're the best he's had so far in the UK. Let me tell you that it lived up to the hype. A beautiful large piece of flaky haddock so lightly fried and it had an audible cracking sound when I put my fork to it. We had started with an octopus starter from the specials menu which had lovely fresh flavors and my husband enjoyed the squid ink risotto which was also delicious. Cute place and nice staff. I look forward to going back and trying more of their dishes, everything sounded great.

All fish is prepared in front of you and the chefs are extremely talented.

The success has come from their commitment to top quality food. I can live with that. They also always have great offers on such as the one they have on at the moment; Dinner and wine for two at £30 from sunday-thursday. That's a two course dinner, and I'd suggest the Scottish smoked haddock and the cold poached salmon. However whatever you chose is likely to be top notch as mentioned. Loch Fyne is what I would consider to be one of those safe bets when you are out dining. The Wirral has one and it is arguably one of the best restaurants in the region.

Fresh, smooth and creamy oysters. The crab meat was lovely sweet, full of flavours. With the shrimp we made some tasty seafood dip. Really a nice place to grab some fresh and tasty seafood.

They're tiny pots of unseasoned boiled and chilled seafood from about 2.5-4£ a pot depending on whether it's prawns, mussels, cockles, whelks, crayfish, etc. Perfectly size for sampling if you can't commit or want to sample them all. There are condiments available for you to season after, but I prefer to eat them as-is, since plain boiled fresh seafood is already have their own briny flavor. Provided are forks, toothpicks, salt, pepper, mayo, Marie Rose sauce (ketchup mayo).

BOOK AHEAD TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT!…read more Right this place is a bugger to find, and when you do you might think ''What... I came all this way for this?'' Situated near the water is this little welsh pub that serves food 12 -2.15 and reopens for 6.30pm. I have been coming here for years and its NEVER let me down. Inside reminds me of my late nans room, pokey and full of brass-ware .. at the far back of the pub lies a more refined dining area with white table cloths. You can sit either in the pub to soak some local welsh atmosphere or retreat to the back. Arriving at 12 on the dot, already there were a couple of locals having a pint. The barman greeted us warmly and offered to bring our drinks over while we browsed the menu. Here you can choose from the seafood specials board, lunch and their everyday menu. I highly recommend anything that has fish in it as it is all locally sourced... After much oomming and ahhing I settled on the seafood linguine and my companions had the crab fishcakes. When the food arrived I was happy. The amount of seafood in my dish was incredible. Small and large prawns, salmon, smoked haddock, scallops and mussels all swimming in a sea of fresh homemade pasta... the sauce was a flavoursome creamy white broth which was not too dense. Everything just tasted so fresh , even the crab fish cakes served with homemade chips. By the time we were half way through our meal the place was full..again if you want to come here you must book to save disappointment. The prices are really reasonable too, our meal came to about £40 for the three of us including drinks!. Overall the fact you have to book no matter what day, says it all,,

To do it justice you have to dine here in the summer, despite what they say at Sheldrakes. Parked…read morenicely in the Dee Estuary with panoramic views of the welsh mountains and the sea, there is some spectacular scenery to be gawked at. It really is a fantastic location. Thankfully the food is just as spectacular as the views they offer made of course from fresh local produce, so I've been told. Have you noticed this has become a bit of a given for alot of the restaurants? It almost seems as if they are repeating it parrot fashion to sound more green. Cynical thoughts aside their pan roasted loin of cod with tarragon and sesame seed crust is simply delightful. There is Mediterranean flair in the air you will notice with Mediterranean seafood featuring as well as antipasti sharing platters. The menu has a Cheshire / Mediterranean mixture which is nice and reflects the owners state of mind perhaps. The summer Sunday barbecue menu however is Sheldrake's crown jewel. At £17 per head and 3 courses awaiting you, there best be some room in them tumtums I tell thee. The options are all equally appealing and for the first time ever in any of my reviews each one of them deserves a special mention. We start off the precedings with 8 oz Cheshire rib eye steak marinated in a chef made barbecue sauce, for all of you who don'like change. For the likes of me who love bit of spice in our lives there is the garlic and mint marinated Welsh lamb rump kebab served with tzatziki dip, yowza!!! For the ladies perhaps the Chargrilled corn fed poussin with garlic and tarragon butter might tickle your fancy. Last but by no means least the vegans amongst us will be more than content with the rumptuous Thai marinated Halloumi kebab. Seriously how can you go wrong? Magnificent innings indeed. Throw into the mix a wide variety of tapas on offer and hey presto you have a Sunday barbecue you will not forget.

I don't know what the architectural version of Botox is but this place has had it in pints. This is a cosy, sub-ground-level pub with a penchant for seafood and humourously insulting banter. The furniture is all glossy and new, but what that loses it in lovable pub grottiness it makes up for in the fact it's really rather pleasant. I imagine when the karaoke gets a-rocking the pub becomes nigh-on hellish but when I visited in the afternoon, I found it to be a tranquil spot of calm away from my role of pretending to be a high-flying lawyer.

This place has been around for donkeys years, this particular donkey is going on to a fair old age…read moreof around 140 years. If you have survived to this ripe old age pulling in the punters on a regular basis with a lot of repeat business. The pub doesn't have its hands tied behind its back by any brewery and thus offer a great choice of ales. It serves good wholesome pub food which tastes great. The Gammon and Rump 8oz steaks both come with modest price tags both below £8. I also tried some of the fish and chips with mushy peas and am delighted to report back that it was very tasty indeed and it didn't feel like I was drinking oil, which is a good sign. I can't wait to go back and try the Galloway oysters. If you go to a pub in Liverpool make it this one, I say.

One of the best, if not the best, restaurant on the island. Started with a Blue Cheese Souffle ( a…read morespecial that day) and it was great. For a main course, I went with another special, a seafood medley. It included wonderful fish, manx scallops (also perfectly cooked) and tempura lobster. The lobster was my favorite, as you could still get the full flavor of the lobster and the tempura added to it rather than just make it feel like it came from a chip shop. Very hard to do classy, AAA, fried food but they pulled it off. The wine list also a big plus, nice selection at quite reasonable prices. Service was stellar, very good pacing between courses and professional without being stuffy. Again, one of my favorite dining experiences on the island (and would be very good almost anywhere).
