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.

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.

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.

We only booked a few hours in advance of our reservation but as the owner is Vegan herself they were not fazed in the slightest by our dietary requirements and we were given a number of options for each course when we arrived. Starters: We had the tomato tart and soup. Both were lovely and there was a choice of two Vegan soups which came with bread and dairy free spread. Main Course: We had the Thai vegetable green curry with a dhaal side and the pancake. The curry itself and the side of dhaal were great. Both really flavoursome and tasty. The pancake was fantastic and was served as a burrito with mushrooms, spinach, couscous and other delights inside. I had it with rice but you can have chips or rosemary & lemon potatoes instead. Dessert: Not that we had much room for dessert after the excellent starter and main course! We all had the chocolate cake was absolutely wonderful! Moist with lots of tasty chocolate icing on top. Apparently it's always Vegan too. They gave us the option of either whipped soya cream (which we chose) or sorbet to accompany it. There were also lots of Vegan wines marked clearly on the menu. All in all a super meal in a lovely environment, served by great staff. Highly recommended. We will be going back regularly.

However, those brave enough to go down the pokey back road its on will find themselves rewarded with a lovely dining experience, complimented by helpful and friendly waiting staff as well as delicious cooking using locally grown ingredients. As I said, Forge advertise themselves primarily as a fish restaurant, so it's no surprise to find their menu dominated by fish and other seafood dishes. I'm not a big fan of seafood generally but I love fish and have found some of the dishes at Forge are both interesting and tasty, such as the halibut steak and the grilled Dover sole, which although expensive is worth the price. Aside from seafood and fish dishes, their meat menu is similarly impressive as it boasts a good variety of options including roast duck as well as a good range of different steaks. The restaurant may not be in the best location in Southport but it's worth putting that to one side and giving Forge a go, particularly if you're a seafood and fish fan.

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.

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.
