The Pageant - Sefton

Relaxed atmosphere and pleasant staff. food was good and we were all served at same time even though big group and pub was busy. enjoyable few hours. staff friendly and helpful..impressed. Busiest i have seen it but didnt feel rushed or forgotten about.

We hadn't visited this pub since before it was refurbished. Pleasantly surprised at the amount of work that had been done. Food and service was ok. It's obvious they are trying their hardest to make the pub succeed this time. Good luck.

The food was very good and was faultless to our taste, we had the mushroom soup which was spot on as were the shredded chicken bon bons for starters which arrived quickly and was more than enough. For main courses we had the chicken supreme which far exceeded expectation and the duck breast the only criticism with the duck dish was that the sauce would perhaps be best served on the side as there was a bit too much on the plate for my liking. The TV booth idea is modern and innovative and allows for an intimate experience whilst watching the football with good table spacing meaning you weren't sat immediately behind someone but not so far away that you felt isolated. Service was quick and efficient and there was a good amount of time in between each course. The décor could perhaps use with some warm lighting just to give it a more homely feel however I didn't feel this took anything in particular away from our over all experience. The 50% off main courses on a Monday meant for excellent value for the food and felt that it was far greater than the price I paid. I would definitely recommend the restaurant to family and friends and in particular on a Monday. Both members of waiting staff were very helpful and couldn't do enough for us, in particular assistant manager Daniel.My overall experience was an excellent one and I feel as though that reflected in the tip I gave and look forward already to my next visit.

Three of us arrived about 19:00 hrs on a Friday. Found a table easily and went to the bar to order drinks. Waited some 10 minutes to have menus given to us and were told that there was about a 20 minutes wait for food to be cooked as there was only one chef on duty. Had to ask for the menu of the day and then waited some 15 minutes for it to be given to us as people were using them on other tables . Waited 15 minutes for somebody to take our order. So by now it had taken about 40 minutes for us to place our order. The estimated 20 minutes wait for the food to be cooked was a bit of a joke. After 40 minutes asked the waitress where our food was. It will literally be the next meal to be served we were told. Two more tables were served before our meals arrived after another 10 minutes.The strange thing was that there were not a lot of people dining there that evening. Heavens only knows how long it would have taken if the place was busy.Food was OK but nothing more.I 'm certain I will never eat there again.

We went to the parade, for a change. We only made a reservation just in case, but it wasn't really necessary.
