I have personally attended every year for the last 5 years and have never been anything less that completely satisfied with the welcome, the service and above all else the food.

I have also had the occasional meal with family and again never a complaint to be made.

Southport, being a traditional sleepy seaside town most of the year, is not the sort of place you'd…read moreassociate with Mediterranean food and tapas, so imagine my surprise when I stumbled across Bistro Bar Med on Coronation Walk. Sat amongst various kebab shops and local bars, Bistro Bar Med is a lovely little restaurant that offers a range of delicious tapas dishes in a cosy and casual dining environment. Their menu isn't quite as impressive as other tapas bars near the area in Liverpool and Crosby, but the selection on offer is still pretty good, and it's the only place I know of in Southport that offers this kind of dining experience. They offer both Spanish and Turkish tapas on their menu, giving the usual tapas menu an interesting twist. This means you can enjoy Spanish meatballs and chorizo alongside dishes of melted halloumi and vine leaves, giving you plenty of variety all in one meal. I've always thought of Southport as somewhat dated and stuck in the past, but I guess with tapas bars and sushi restaurants opening up maybe I should rethink this. A nice place to go if you fancy something different from the usual Italian, Chinese or Indian cuisine on offer locally.

All in all it was a great bonding experience for all the tables around us. We felt especially sorry for the table beside us who were waiting longer than we did and then when the food came it was the wrong food. Wow. I'm amazed that this restaurant is still in business. They should be tarred feathered and run out of town. £168.00 for terrible service, cold food that tasted so so at best.

If there's one type of cuisine/restaurant that you could definitely call the 'flavour of the month'…read more(no pun intended), then it's tapas. It used to be that tapas bars were fairly rare but these days they're everywhere, popping up in many towns close to me (although not in Formby quite yet) and O'Este is Ormskirk's offering. Situated slightly away from the main village area, O'Este offers its diners a fine selection of tapas as well as main meals and a table d'hote menu offering 2 courses for thirteen pounds or 3 courses for seventeen pounds. The tapas menu is quite varied and slightly more unusual and sophisticated than your usual tapas bar, offering sardines, mussels and swordfish alongside the usual favourites like chorizo and patatas bravas, all of which are fairly reasonably priced. The a la carte menu has a modest selection of dishes on it, including hanging beef and pork skewers as well as roast monkfish. This menu is a bit more expensive but all the dishes are well-cooked and delicious. The restaurant itself is bright and comfortable and the waiting on staff are both friendly and attentive at all times, ensuring any visit to O'Este is an enjoyable one.

Some special offer deals early in the week (Monday 2 for 1) are great value for money. Tapas also features, but can be more variable, with some dishes being held in the kitchen waiting rather than being served immediately each is ready. So I would go for the main menu.
