About This Pub

Ah, the Bridge Inn – it's one of those places that really pulls you in with its historic charm and that buzzing village atmosphere in Wirral. I've got to say, when it's good, it's brilliant; the staff can be so attentive and friendly, like hearing about Olivia who made a few visits feel spot on with her warm smiles and efficient service. Plus, with all those wallet-friendly deals on food and drinks, and extras like family-friendly vibes and easy parking, it's a solid choice for a casual get-together or even catching up over breakfast. They're throwing in some fun events too, which adds a nice touch to the experience. But, and I hate to say it, there are times when it falls a bit flat – like when the food doesn't quite hit the mark, with complaints about small portions on the Sunday roast or meals that end up dry and underwhelming. And if it's a busy night, the team might seem a tad stressed, which can make the whole place feel less inviting. Still, with an overall rating hovering around 4 out of 5, it's worth a punt if you're in the area, just go in with realistic expectations and maybe stick to what others rave about. All in all, it's a decent pub that does some things really well, but could do with tightening up on the consistency to make every visit a winner.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff can be absolutely brilliant, like Olivia who comes across as a real gem – friendly, attentive, and making sure you have everything you need without being over the top.
  • It's got a warm and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates or a family outing, especially in that charming Grade II listed building.
  • Great value for money with affordable deals like the £8.99 Sunday roast and some cracking offers on drinks and food that won't break the bank.
  • Loads of handy facilities, such as being family-friendly, disabled access, free WiFi, and a car park, making it easy for everyone to pop in.
  • They've got fun events and specials, like breakfast menus with a twist or even dog walks, which add a bit of excitement to your visit.
Cons
  • Food can be a bit hit or miss; some folks have mentioned portions are on the skimpy side, like that Sunday roast feeling more like a kiddie's meal.
  • Cocktails and dishes sometimes lack flavour – reports of tasteless drinks and dry, even inedible food that doesn't quite live up to expectations.
  • Staff might not always be in the best mood when it's busy, with a few saying they come across as a bit grumpy or not very welcoming, which can dampen the vibe.
  • Overall, it seems like consistency is an issue; what works one day might not the next, leaving you hoping for the best on your visit.

Disappointing Sunday Roast, now I know it's only £8.99 but when I received it I was beginning to think we'd ordered off the childrens menu, there was so little of it. I had the turkey, it's not a carved turkey that is served, it's more like a Bernard Matthews turkey easy roast, the Yorkshire puddings were cold, there wasn't even a slight crisp to them and there were only 4 of the smallest roast potatoes that I've ever seen, I suppose the only bonus is that they were crisp and tasty. My wife had the beef, one of the pieces was mainly fat and impossible to cut with the knife supplied.

Popped into The Bridge Inn on Friday 23rd May and had a great experience. The place had a good vibe, food was solid, and everything ran smoothly. Big shoutout to Olivia who looked after us – she was friendly, on the ball, attentive and made sure we had everything we needed without hovering. Just really good, genuine service that made the visit even better.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently had the pleasure of being served by Olivia at The Bridge Inn and I can confidently say she is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, she greeted us with a warm smile and a friendly attitude, making us feel right at home. Olivia is incredibly attentive, ensuring our drinks were topped up and our meals arrived promptly, all while maintaining an effortless charm and professionalism. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, offering great recommendations that suited our tastes perfectly. She handled every request with grace and efficiency, never missing a beat—even during the busiest hours. It’s rare to find someone who truly enhances the pub experience, but Olivia does just that. If you're lucky enough to be served by Olivia, you’re in for a fantastic experience. She’s a credit to the team and deserves all the praise!

Popped into The Bridge Inn expecting a decent pint and maybe a packet of crisps – left feeling like I'd just been treated like royalty (but the friendly kind, not the awkward wave-from-a-balcony kind). From the get-go, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and exactly what you'd hope for in a proper pub. But the real star of the show? Sophie. Honestly, if there were a league table for hospitality, she’d be top of it, trophy in hand, probably still smiling and checking if your chips are okay. Sophie was an absolute gem – cheerful, helpful, and effortlessly good at making people feel at home. She had that perfect mix of professionalism and personality, managing to be attentive without hovering and funny without forcing it. She even remembered our drink order, which is more than I can say for myself most days. The food? Delicious. The drinks? Cold and well-poured. The vibe? Spot on. The service? Basically Michelin-star level with less tweezers and more personality. If all pub staff were like Sophie, I’d probably never cook at home again. The Bridge Inn is a cracking place, but with Sophie on the team, it’s a proper experience. Go for the food and atmosphere – stay because Sophie’s convinced you to order dessert and honestly, she’s right!!

Honestly this place use to be my go to for a nice tea and a drink. Cocktails are tasteless Food is always dry and 80% of the time inedible. I know it can get hard and frustrating when it gets busy but the staff never smile and always storm round moaning, Not a welcoming feeling. The chef/chef's clearly can't handle the pressure sometimes, come out moaning at other staff and doesn't bother offering alternatives or refunds on food that is poorly cooked and presented properly.
