The interactions we had with the staff were all very pleasant and they were very helpful. It was surprising to me how much food and drink was available here.

If you want any changes you technically need to order at the bar but items will still come out the way they are listed on the menu even if you ask for a change. The fish and chips is good, as are the burgers although they come out your regular chips (not the large ones which come with fish). By the item my food came out my family was just about finished eating. They have a sign touting their toilets which are nothing special to be honest. Good food and nice ambiance as long as you are okay with no modifications to the food and ordering via a website or at the bar.

Not exactly the type of pub that I feel is relaxed enough for me to just duck into for a quiet pint…read moreand certainly not somewhere to go with mates for more than a few, The James Munro is a modern, elegant kind of place that is better for a casual date or business lunch as the main thing here is the food. The interior really is classy, being a modern polished version of the traditional British public house as you expect from todays gastropubs. Big comfy, wooden framed booths line the side near the bar while the floor is taken up with dining tables. This is a good place to come for lunch especially with the 2 course special, as you get the benefit of good food without the fine dining faffing. The food is good so it seems a pity that The James Munro is situated in such a quiet part of town for an evening dining experience.

The staff are excellent and you feel relaxed and at home inside even though the decor can make a scruffy student feel out of place slightly. The drinks are expensive but you realise this from the moment you enter and it can come as no shock at all that there is no change from a fiver for two pints. The food is The James Monros real shining light, the menu would hold up in many gourmet restaurants and the service is exceptional I took my girlfriend here early on in our relationship trying to impress and was shocked to find that even with a two for one offer on steaks the cost was still over twenty five pounds, not too say it wasnt worth the price as the food was unbelieveable, All in all a proper pub which transitions beautifully into gourmet restaurant and doesnt let you down in either field even if it is a bit out of the student price range. So if youve got a bit of spare cash and you feel like an upmarket pint then put on a nice jumper and head to The James Monro

Wednesday is Steak night and I would definitely try it out in here. They have a really pretty outdoor seating area which is decorated with twinkly little fairy lights, it's just a little off-putting that it's next to lots of dead space used as a carpark which is quite common in the surrounding areas.

I will always remember this pub fondly as the first place I bought my first pint (legally) and I am…read moresure I am not alone in sharing this landmark with the Cross House. I guess this little story sums up the Cross House's status as a pub for special occasions for me, but never considered as a viable option for my local. The interior is interestingly decorated and the variety of different seating available is excellent, offering many comfortable areas to converse over a few pints. The food served there is nothing special - standard pub fare and priced accordingly - but whenever I have visited the atmosphere has always been warm and inviting, perfect for a birthday or other special occasion. That's the thing though; although it's a very pleasant pub, it just doesn't have the 'feel' of a local. Maybe it's something to do with the distinct lack of odd, drunken regulars (they always seem a respectable lot in there) which I see as a staple of establishments to be considered as my 'local' (is this normal for someone my age? Let's not go there). They also have a weekly quiz night, although it is probably one of the more difficult ones in Formby (only beaten by the Bay Horse) and a lovely outdoor area, perfect for a not-so-warm summer's night with a few bottles of cider.

It's a nice pub too, smokefree before it became the law (strange to think there was ever a time when you might come home from a pub stinking of tobacco) and with a gastopub-leaning menu before gastropub really existed (a pub with asparagus on the menu, even if it was a Formby specialty, was unheard of) It has the sort of unpracticed sort of charm, with mismatched furniture and low beams, that only an authentic pub really does, the sort of authentic pub-charm that various branches of Wetherspoons and Slug & Lettuce try to emulate. They have old speckled hen on tap occasional live music and the pub quiz is easily the best to be found in Formby. It's a shame that we hardly seem to go anymore, I'll have to start reliving my eighteenth birthday.

The Lime Kiln, which is located in one of the main clubbing areas of Liverpool (Concert Square), is…read moreanother of many Wetherspoon branches to be found in the city centre. This gastropub is different from the other branches because it is combined with a clubbing section, which really comes alive at night. The last time I went was on Halloween night and I could remember the atmosphere which was electric. There were a few jolly drunken folks around, no harm done but all a bit of fun! It was really jam packed and I found it hard to manouvre. Upstairs is probably your best bet if you want a nice sit down on a comfy sofa, away from the rowdier clubbers! Other than that, the Lime kiln operates as normal during the day time as a gastropub, where of course you can tuck into some good breakfast and brunch with a bit of booze (why not?!) - all at reasonable prices.

The only reason this place isn't getting 5 stars from me is because something is holding me back. I remember when I went there on a date the meal lasted for about 2 hours, but I can't remember whether that's because I was enjoying my date or the service was slow. The food was very good, although I didn't have anything that was oh-my-god-fantastic. The decor is what put me off most I think. I had the feeling of being cramped, even though I wasn't, and the lighting and general feel of the place was dull. Having said that, I'm looking for someone to take me back, and am especially interested in their pudding nights, where once a month you get to order 3 (yes THREE) puddings after your main meal.
