The Marine View - Sefton

After the long lockdown, we were so happy for Sunday dinner in the royal. they used to make a small or bigger Sunday dinner, but they don't do that now. the meal came and it was huge. there were five different veg and lots of meat. should not complain, but it was just too big for me and pull me out. there was a lot of rosmarin and thymian that tasted everything on the dish. the personal was very attentive and the service was sufficient.

I phone forward to ask if they still served the breakfast as it was near midday and was recommended to no, but there was an all-day breakfast on the menu, so we go to the hotel. when I was going to order our food, I was recommended that the day breakfast was not on Sunday menu, but he would ask the cook who kindly agreed to make an breakfast. I also ordered a blt on a baguette. when the food arrived, the sausage was on the breakfast cheap tasting a d tough and the pot tee was all tasteless, no matter how often we stirred the pot, there was no strength in it, and when it poured out the teapot, it went over the table and my hand. the blt was full of fat (foto attached) the chips were not cooked I sent them back and when they came back not cooked yet, so I asked for a refund that was given. the total experience for the calculated prices was therefore not acceptable. it is such a scandal that the environment and the opposite are beautiful, must be addressed.

I booked a table for 5 in the restaurant on a Thursday evening. Both my sister and I order the black pudding with poached egg. The starters were cold. the poached eggs like a bullet. The dishes had to be sent back. New starter were offered. I ordered roast beef and specifically asked if it was cooked fresh. When it arrived the meat was thin pre sliced beef, the potatoes cooked from frozen, Yorkshire pudding dry and inedible. Overall a disgrace. The venue is one that we often attend for Sunday lunch and is usually okay. On this occasion was far from acceptable and for the price not reasonable at all. The ‘manager’ did listen to my complaint but insisted the meat was freshly sliced from a joint. I challenged her several times to allow me to see the chef cutting the meat, she declined. We were not charged for the starters or my main. We will never eat here again. If food can not be of a fresh and reasonable standard do not offer it. Our family get together for my mums 91st birthday was spoilt. Be aware before you book here.

Got to be the best roast dinner in Crosby. Mine was a vegetarian nut roast (definitely home made and was so tasty . My friend loved the roast dinner too (meat choices . The staff as always are professional and polite. Love this place fabulous restaurant

We went to the Royal for dinner on Saturday at 530 ish. My husband ordered the Balti and I opted for pie of the day. While he was ordering a lady came up complaining about her burger being hard. Then when our meals came my pie was chicken and mushroom, the chicken pieces were really hard, it reminded me of the awful frozen stuff they sell in Iceland. I couldn’t eat it. We also saw another diner complaining at the bar about her dessert. I’m not sure what was going on with the chef, I usually love going there, all I ate were the chips and gravy. We didn’t bother staying for another drink. Didn’t get a chance to complain while we were there as I had only just started my meal when we were asked if everything was ok. Sorry to say it’s put me off returning
