Lovely country pub with great food and a good selection of cask ales. The staff were really friendly. Could do with some craft beers on keg too but that's a very minor observation just for my taste
Michael Frost
Excellent food and service at a decent price in an atmospheric environment.
Rob Willmore
Excellent experience.
Came back for second night in a row.
High quality pub food. Lovely atmosphere and very good friendly service.
Lots of parking and much better food, experience/service and quality than posh golf hotel around the corner...

We were staying close by for a few days and The sparrowhawk was recommended by one of the locals. We booked dinner on the Saturday evening and were so glad that we did. I rarely eat out and leave feeling that I've received exceptional value but the sparrowhawk certainly did this. The food (cauliflower fritters followed by feathered beef and a raspberry tart) was exceptional, the portions a good size. Despite it being very busy (150 can be seated at any one time) the service was warm, helpful and efficient(without being overly so). The local beer we had before the meal was also a top pint! While not the cheapest, it certainly wasn't expensive for the quality and was great value. It was clear why it was so busy and I highly recommend a meal here. PS I don't know why the beef was listed on the menu as "feathered" but it was melt in the mouth delicious!

Really caring staff who came to our aid after getting a puncture on the way there. A member of staff helped organise a mobile tyre fitting service. Food excellent, service brilliant in a lovely setting. Made a family meal memorable.

Food quality is great. This place deserves the rating it has.
Staff are attentive but not overbearing.
Brought my 92 year old Nan and she can’t stop raving about the food.
Leanne Murray
Always amazing food, plenty to choose from. Nothings to much trouble, staff very helpful, friendly but efficient.
Very clean, dog friendly.
Busy nearly everytime we have been, so would advise to book in advance. You will not be disappointed.

Even though I wasn’t as excited with the food (steak burger and roast were good but not unforgettable) as I was with the ambiance, the Sparrowhawk deserves all 5 stars for the pleasant environment, the attentive service, the decoration and the overall British countryside allure and this warm fuzzy feeling I felt dining here. Chocolate brownie was fantastic too.
Karen Holme
Exceptional place to eat and the food was superb. Thank you.

We enjoyed a fantastic dinner as a large group during the Open week. The pub is set in beautiful grounds with delicious food to match. Karen and Lucas couldn’t have been more lovely & attentive to our party and took the time to tell our American clients about the history of the building. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back!
Tony Sidonio
Nice relaxed atmosphere. Friendly staff and good quality food. Very popular, always busy.
Lovely setting, plenty of free parking space and outdoor eating, weather permitting!
Adam James
I had the Steak Burger & Fries. The food was absolutely fantastic and would recommend the Steak Burger & Fries to anyone! Service was quick and attentive with a lovely atmosphere. Plenty of seating inside and outside with a range of drinks available. Will definitely be returning back to The Sparrowhawk soon

We had a spot of lunch at the Sparrowhawk on a gloriously sunny Sunday. We cycled from Southport and sat down to a selection of tasty starters and a couple of pints. Service was great. The outdoor space is delightful for a leisurely lunch. The courgette and coconut vegan feta was a highlight - so much so we asked the staff for where to buy the tasty vegan cheese!
Chris Cox
Had a great evening out with friends, ordered food and unfortunately had to wait a long time for it which was really annoying, upon arrival food was excellent. Pudding was great .waited a long time for our drinks order, could probably do with a few more staff
Pip Claffey
Turned up on spec no reservation, on Sunday afternoon it was very busy. We were greeted right away and shown to an table 👍 Service was quick and friendly even though they were very busy. We ordered a few starters each as we didn't want a full roast dinner. Everything was tasty. Great visit very enjoyable and a lovely setting and interiors, we will be back 😁
Sandra Cavanagh
We have always had a very good experience. Recently have taken an older relation with poor hearing, the staff have always manage to find us a quiet table, granted weekends are always busy but they do their best to oblige. It's always a treat
Ana Green
Amazing food and venue. Disable friendly, children friendly.
Near the golf club.
Exquisite venue. Lovely atmosphere and great car from the waiters
Alan Denton
had booked to eat Indoors but decided to take advantage of good weather and ate outside close to swings which grandchildren enjoyed immensely as well as the 'woods'. Service and food excellant and will definitely be returning in the near future

Beautiful pub with excellent parking and outdoor seating. I went there after spending a couple of hours in Ainsdale beach and the location is excellent for that. The rump steak sandwich was magnificent, probably the best steak sandwich I've had this side of the Atlantic. The chips were also spot on and the price was very reasonable (17.55 for the sandwich and a pint of Coke).
Josephine Moran
Was there yesterday staff very friendly efficient food was good but I had the cod and for me there was a lot of batter and not enough fish and the tartare sauce was a bit tasteless and a lot of batter on chicken cujons .
Tony Veazey
Wow, lovely place to eat, excellent food cheerful well mannered staff. Even though it was very busy we did not have to wait long for our meals. Thoughly recommend The Sparrowhawk. Thankyou for a marvelous afternoon.

Warm welcoming staff on arrival. Amazing food and lovely customers (& fellow dog lovers). Best breakfast menu we have had for a long time!
Michaela Nelson
Went yesterday as 82nd bday of my mum in law. It took 50 mins for starter to arrive, 20 mins for main meal. Only one waitress in whole of restaurant, she was nice but manic. Another gentleman complained as he had been waiting 45 mins for his main after his starter. Menu ok but a lot of fish which I can't eat. We were there for 2.5 hrs from start to finish, only three of us. Not sure I'd go again, sorry. Need more staff.
Vicky Birrell
Staff lovely, very helpful, friendly and efficient. We went for lunch and loved the food. We also had our 2 dogs who were made very welcome. Would highly recommend.
Karen Spooner
Amazing food every single time we have been here. 5 star service. Beautiful place inside and outside. Love it!
Tina Donovan
It was a lovely meal we live in Cardiff visiting our son. Added bonus we could take our dog too. Great staff great food will be visiting again.
Jan Owens
Lovely setting. The staff were friendly & helpful. We couldn't fault our meals. I had the roast beef dinner. Plenty of roast beef & a large, melt in your mouth yorkshire pud. My husband had sea bass which he said was one of the nicest meals he's tasted
Ann Mulhaney
Had two amazing vegan meals cooked especially by the chef for myself and my daughter on Wednesday night. Thank you so much it was delicious. You should put these both on the menu.
Enid Jones

As an anniversary treat Red and I popped up to the Sparrowhawk, somewhere we hadn't been before, for a celebratory early morning brunch. The two lads, Fidget and Shy, in tow as well. It was very early so nobody around and we were warmly greeted and seated on entry. Drinks of coffee, tea and orange juice ordered we perused the brunch menu. This place isn't the cheapest but you are paying for the lovely location. The dining rooms themselves, as it sprawls through a large house and annexes, are well decorated with 'old' paintings and prints and there is also an extensive outside seating area.<br/><br/>We waited unduly for someone to take our order, a simple slip but not great when we were the only people in the place. Besides that, however, the service was good. I chose the sausage sandwich, Red the bacon sandwich and the boys went for the pancakes, bacon and blueberries. Sadly they had no blueberries.<br/><br/>The food arrived quickly and was very good. Both sandwiches were on toasted brioche buns, the sausages were from Buttercross Farm and very good. The bacon was well cooked and crispy and the pancakes, small but light and fluffy.<br/>Coffee was very good in a cafetiere with timer, tea came in a china teapot and the orange juice was freshly squeezed. £29 all in it is a bit expensive but very enjoyable. They also have a great collection of real ales but 9.30am Sunday morning isn't really the time!
