Black Sheep was the cask beer, well kept and served by friendly bar staff. A glance at the locally inspired menu convinced me that we'll back soon to try the food. Starters include Bury black pudding & Chorizo with poached egg, hollandaise sauce and rocket and chorizo salad; Goosnargh Chicken Liver and Port Pate; and Morecambe Bay shrimps. Mains include 28 day hung Rib Eye steak, Lancashire Hotpot and Home made Beef and Guinness pie. Quiz night on Thursdays and live music on Fridays. Years ago this pub was truly awful but a complete refurbishment and new ownership a couple of years ago (ish) has completely transformed it. Lucky Elswick!

They range from starters and large main meals to smaller 'soup and sandwich' options. The game pie I tried was amazing - juicy and tender meats with a lovely crisp pastry on top. The chips, outstanding too!

It hostes a selection of guest ales including my personal favourite german larger Warsteiner and various other real ales all worth a try.

The staff are as warm and friendly as the surroundings making it the ideal place for a pint and a bag of nuts after a hard days graft.

Really quaint and some lovely features and touches (real fire, piano,seperate bar and lounge) Think the staff said they do 25 draught beers and real ale and cider, one was erdinger a german wheat beer..unusual. Amazing prices too on beer and food cheaper than weatherspoons. A place for couples or friends but they dont allow children (which is fine with me as its a cozy small place) If you havent tried it do give it a go, I will be back for sure in fact going tomorrow

Happy to Have as My Local…read more Just a short walk from home, this is part of the Wetherspoon's chain, soreasonable prices, reliable food (if a bit predictable) and lots of very reasonably priced lagers. Very friendly - it's definitely a gathering spot for locals. Can be a bit busy later in the evening on Fridays or Saturdays, so come a bit earlier if you want to be guaranteed a table. Friendly wait staff - great service - fun crowd. Highly recommended. Good fish & chips (as to be expected) and a nice chicken tikka. There are food and drink specials daily.

The public house sits on the famous Anfield Road and is in spitting distance of the home of The Reds, meaning on home match days throughout the season the venue is packed full of Liverpool supporters. This said, the great atmosphere means away supporters are welcomed - not with opened arms but more a nod of awareness. Dotted around the venue are a number of plazma televisions that screen match after match after match and when there aren't any matches on, are usually tuned, predictably, to Liverpool TV. The staff are friendly and talkative and make your visit to what is billed as 'The World Famous Arkles' a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

The vegan menu is mostly pub grub favourites but fantastically prepared with real attention to detail. Lasagna; burgers; lentil fritters etc. You can also choose from a variety of faux cheeses and can have such rare treats as vegan cheesey chips; cheesey garlic bread; bespoke vegan pizzas and so on. From memory they also have vegan beers. Highly recommended but make sure you book well in advance as it's (deservedly) popular. ****** SADLY THE WHEATSHEAF HAS NOW CLOSED ******
