    I had some tasty junk food at the Lobster Pot yesterday. This was my first visit to their newly opened branch in the city centre as they also have another one currently under refurbishment opposite central station. The take-away is well decorated and now has seating upstairs for about 40-50 customers in a comfortable environment with a TV screen playing satisfying music. Food is always cheap and the workers who serve are friendly and approachable to all your needs and enquiries. The service was efficient and meals where good value for money having bought a double cheeseburger (in a salad bun) accompanied by a tray of hot chips for just £3; this definitely filled me up. The chips weren't the best I've had as some were a little browned but overall, a good place to eat in or take out.

    I'm American so I like ketchup.

    Meh, I don't know what all the hype is. When I arrived it was so hot inside 'I' felt like a fried fish. Their was I only one table inside, two outside and none upstairs. Maybe this location is misleading??? I had to pay 2.50 to park in the garage nearby since no parking can be had nearby. I ordered the lunch special fish and chips. It was only 3.50 and came with a ton of chips. It wasn't very good. The chips were greasy and the fish was soggy-ish. While I ate outside I watched countless construction worker types walk out with big, dripping burgers and other un-pleasantries. Never again.

    The Lobster Pot is a great fish and chip shop right in the centre of Liverpool and it really does deserve its central location. The staff here are great they are always smiling, always working hard and always fast to get you served and fed and on your way again full and happy. This place is great if you fancy a simple cone of chips or something more filling such as a large and delicious fish or even a kebab. The food here is always top notch and not too greasy which is a criticism you could level at most chip shops around the country. The decoration is simple and says everything you need to know about the Lobster Pot it is an honest and simple place which provides fuel for the residents of Mersey side. Job done.

    When you are really hungry food always tastes better but I don't think it was just my appetite, the £1.30 I spent on a large portion of chips at the Lobster Pot was not wasted. They were perfect. A can of pop is 70p. The LP is always busy especially for curry and chips. Presentable polish staff were efficient and served a long queue quickly. There are toilet and seating for about 60 upstairs. A flat screen TV playing music videos provides a little entertainment. They serve kebabs but not pizza. The barbecue chicken was a very bright red and orange. The batter looked good.

    Having moved from its former home opposite Liverpool Central train station Lobster Pot has settled into more upmarket surroundings, just a stone's throw from the trendy and pricey Metquarter. Luckily this hasn't meant a sudden rise in prices and you can still get the delicious greasy goodness that the chip shop is famous for. This is chip shop food done exactly right. Want a big, fat battered fish? Done. Want a portion of crispy-on-the-outside yet fluffy-on-the-inside chips? Done. Want some sweet and sour or BBQ chicken in a hurry? Done and Done. Want a burger or some fried chicken? I'd probably leave it to be honest. The problem with the move is that you can no longer go and pick up a portion of chips and curry for that drunken train journey home. On the plus side it's just around the corner from Mathew Street so that evening of Guinness and jukebox favourites can reach a fitting conclusion with an ill-advised battered sausage.

    Wonderful fish and chips and steak and kidney pie!!!

I don't know what the architectural version of Botox is but this place has had it in pints. This is a cosy, sub-ground-level pub with a penchant for seafood and humourously insulting banter. The furniture is all glossy and new, but what that loses it in lovable pub grottiness it makes up for in the fact it's really rather pleasant. I imagine when the karaoke gets a-rocking the pub becomes nigh-on hellish but when I visited in the afternoon, I found it to be a tranquil spot of calm away from my role of pretending to be a high-flying lawyer.

If you have survived to this ripe old age pulling in the punters on a regular basis with a lot of repeat business. The pub doesn't have its hands tied behind its back by any brewery and thus offer a great choice of ales. It serves good wholesome pub food which tastes great. The Gammon and Rump 8oz steaks both come with modest price tags both below £8. I also tried some of the fish and chips with mushy peas and am delighted to report back that it was very tasty indeed and it didn't feel like I was drinking oil, which is a good sign. I can't wait to go back and try the Galloway oysters. If you go to a pub in Liverpool make it this one, I say.

As for the food, it really is fantastic but I've had better in all honesty. I had the goats cheese with cannelloni, pepper salsa and black olives, and would definitely recommend them. My friend however was not too impressed with the suckling lamb which wasn't quite right. Ironically it was a little too "slowly cooked" yet not quite cooked when it arrived. How could we complain though when surrounded by such visual profundity. The answer is hindsight. While we were there we had no such complaints as you are just immersed the 360 spectacle. Only afterwards when discussing the events of the evening did we recount what our tastebuds had to say at the time. I would imagine a lot of guys will think of proposing here. It just gives you a sense of occasion when you are up there. A must visit for everyone. Although it is pricey and expect to spend in the region of £100+ for a proper meal for two followed by drinks etc etc especially if you plan on proposing.

    Hello Yelp! It's been a while I've been super busy over the past few months moving house!…read more I'm back! Visited here today for my birthday! Wow you've got to try this place, we had afternoon tea (my first, yes, my first) and it was beautiful, I've a new found love for macaroons, from the minute we walked in to the second we walked out we had fantastic service from all members of staff. The views are fantastic. The food is lovely and who doesn't like scones? I would love to go back and try the evening menus as it looks exquisite. If you have an occasion, like fine dining and wonderful surroundings this is the place to try. You must book well in advance as it gets fully booked!

    Wheeler's of St James Liverpool is one of two restaurants owned by Marco Pierre White in the city,…read moreit is one of two "Wheeler's", with the other being in London. After a great experience at the MPW Steakhouse, also in Liverpool, I have wanted to try this place since it first opened recently. The overall feel of Wheeler's is nice, it is inside the new Pullman Hotel in overall it has a nice, modern, new feel to it, with Marco Pierre White inspired decors, such as the "sofa", and various pictures of him and his career around the restaurant. The service here was also very good, the staff were friendly and had a great knowledge of gluten-free, albeit there was no gluten-free menu made available online, but they did have a self-written menu which shows what items could be made gluten-free from the festive menu, examples included the Christmas Turkey dinner, excluding the pigs in blankets and stuffing, or the pumpkin soup which could come with gluten-free bread on request. I ordered three courses from the lunch menu which came to £22, this is a price per person yet it is increased after 5pm to a "dinner" menu at the price of £30, remembering, of course, this price is subject to a 10% service charge so ends up going to £24.20 and £33 respectively. I dislike the idea of service charges, as I feel it should be the customer's choice whether to leave one or not, and it is just adding price to the menu which I can't understand, if they want the prices higher why not charge 10% more rather than adding it at the end? The feel of this place was also nice in the sense that, there was a huge open-kitchen, meaning during lunch service, you can see and smell and even hear the kitchen and the food cooking, from the flames used in the cooking process. The location of this place also is good, it is quite central and within walking distance of the city centre and Liverpool One, as well as being under a mile away from the train station, and part of the ACC Liverpool complex which includes the Echo Arena, Convention Centre and Car parking. Starter: For my starter, I ordered the pumpkin soup with mushrooms and parmesan, this was also made available with gluten-free bread on request, the gluten-free bread was unlike any other bread I've tasted which is gluten-free (GF), It tasted and looked fresh, and it didn't even have any holes in which one normally associates with Gluten-free bread The soup its-self was reasonable quality, however, I found the mushrooms to be a little slimy and the soup on its own didn't taste great, perhaps it was the flavour combination of pumpkin, some parts of the soup, in my opinion, were too thick, hence I had to spit it out, yet still the soup was edible and nice to dip my bread in, but not really for anything more. The choice of starters wasn't fantastic from the festive menu, there was a choice of 4 and the pumpkin soup was one of three which was gluten-free, the other one which contained gluten being the Haddock Chowder, my friend ordered this and appeared to enjoy it, she commented "I rarely eat chowder and the thought of it would normally turn my stomach, but the taste and quality of the fish was good." Main: The best selections for GF were the mains, again I could eat 3/4 items as long as they were modified, the only item which wasn't suitable was the vegetarian option, the pasta. I decided to order Traditional roasted turkey breast and leg, chestnut stuffing, roast parsnip, duck fat potatoes, sprouts, Chantenay carrots, this was made gluten-free by removing the stuffing and "pigs in blankets" which came with it. The quality of the food overall was good, the turkey quality was good and it was seasoned well, however, I only tended to like the bits of turkey breast, the other parts were a little chewy and fatty. The duck-fat potatoes were a good dish, they were flavoured well with the duck-fat, the portions of potatoes were good, but also offering mashed potatoes would have made it better. The carrots were a bit hit and miss for me, on one hand, the flavours were great with the Chantenay, but overall I found them to be a little hard. On the same topic of the veg, the parsnips were decent. Dessert: For my dessert, I had the Chocolate Mousse with Peppermint Marshmallows, made gluten-free by having no Graham Crackers, the mouse very rich, and although fresh and good quality, I feel the mouse could have done with some a flavour such as orange or peppermint inside, rather than just the small layer of marshmallow on the top, which did, however, taste good. My friend ordered the chestnut and white chocolate pannacotta, I also tried this, we found it to be too creamy and it didn't burst out with flavour, it was one panna cotta on a base of white cream. This is briefer than what I would have liked due to 5000 character limit; this, however, is a good restaurant and warrants a four-star rating.

My friend loved her fajitas and they were totally cool with swapping her guacamole for extra sour cream. My friend is a member so it was good value at around £22 for two mains, a side and a drink each. Without the 40% off I think it is a little pricey. Service was pretty good although watch out if you are here for lunch with limited time, it took us quite a while to get the bill so my friend ran late for getting back to work.
