The Cleveland Arms in Bebington

Ah, The Cleveland Arms – it's one of those hidden gems that just hits the spot when you're in the mood for a proper pub experience. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the staff are an absolute delight, always ready with a smile and a bit of banter, which really makes the place feel like a second home. The beer selection is spot on, with a great range of real ales that taste fantastic and won't set you back too much, and it's brilliant that they've kept things dog-friendly for those of us who like to bring the family along, furry members included. The cosy log fire and a recently spruced-up interior add to that traditional charm, paired with a jukebox for some tunes to liven up the evening. On the flip side, it's a shame there's no website to easily check out what's on offer or the full schedule, so you might have to rely on a quick visit or word of mouth. And being on the smaller side, it can fill up nicely, which is great for atmosphere but might feel a tad cramped if you're not keen on crowds. All in all, it's a cracking spot for a relaxed pint or catch-up, and I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're exploring the area – just go with an open mind and you'll likely leave with a smile.
