About This Pub
You know, when I think about The Woodcote Hotel and its 610 Squadron Bar & Grill, it just feels like that reliable old friend you can always count on for a good time. The staff are genuinely warm and attentive, making every visit feel personal, whether you're popping in for a hearty meal or sorting out a wedding reception – and from what I've heard from others, the food doesn't disappoint, with ample portions and classics done right that leave you wanting to come back. It's set in a lovely spot near Hooton, ideal for exploring the Wirral or nipping to nearby hotspots, and the rooms sound like a treat if you're staying over, all clean and comfy with little extras like free Wi-Fi and tea-making facilities. On the flip side, though, it's a shame the website doesn't spill more details, and without clear operating hours or a claimed Google listing, you might have to do a bit of digging to avoid any surprises. Overall, it's a solid choice for a relaxed evening or special do, with that homely charm that makes it stand out, but just keep in mind it might not always buzz with energy if you're after a full-on pub vibe.

Had a lovely meal in restaurant. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Meal piping hot, good quality food, ample portions for big eaters, loved the small fish and chips portion.
Would certainly go back.
We just had our wedding reception at the woodcote and it was absolutely fantastic afternoon and evening. The staff went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect for us and were super friendly and professional. The room was decorated beautifully and the garden outside was perfect on such a lovely sunny day. The dj couldn't of been better and really took the time to make sure he got the songs we really wanted and would get us up and dancing. The room we stayed in over night was super clean with an amazing bed and beautifully decorated.
The food and service are brilliant. I can't comment on the stay, because I haven't yet had the pleasure, but I have seen the rooms and they are lovely.
Always a warm welcome from the team at The Woodcote.
So myself and a group of friends came here to the restaurant for a Christmas meal and was very happy with everything overall. Meal was lush a really nice roast dinner. Compliments to chef as starter and pudding all very good. Atmosphere was nice and quiet. Very clean and modern interior. Staff were very chatty and happy and appeared relaxed. Everything from start to finish was excellent and will absolutely recommend this place and would happly attend again. Plenty of parking. And didnt struggle to get a table booked.
I hired the event room for a 25th anniversary party. There was 60 of us and the room was lovely. Staff were friendly and courteous and accommodated all of my requests.
The majority of the guests stayed in the hotel and said their rooms were spacious and very clean.
Breakfast was plentiful with lots to choose and local guests all joined them the following morning which ended the event perfectly.
Thanks to all the staff who helped make this a memorable celebration in a rubbish year. ❤️
