The Bastion Bar & Restaurant

Three of us ate here on a Sunday evening. We had booked and when we arrived two tables were paying at the restaurant reception. We had to wait several minutes before being shown to our table. Other than that the service was good, as was the food. We booked because our aparthotel gave us a voucher for 50% off food at the Bastion , so our £120 bill (incl drinks) was reduced to £80. Excellent value.

The Bastion Restaurant and bar is based inside of the Shankly Hotel so is easy to find and is a great place to eat. We couldn't decide where to go for an evening meal so as we were staying at the Shankly decided to eat there, the prices were average for the restaurants in the area and it smelt great. When we went downstairs we were seated immediately and given a drinks menu, and an early bird menu as well as the main one, so we both chose from the early bird. The food came quickly, as did the drinks, and was cooked to perfection, we even managed to get to the sweet section which we don't normally and enjoyed every morsel. So when we went to pay for 2 starters, 2 mains, 1 sweet a large wine and a pint of lemonade and orange juice it came to less than £40 as you get 20% discount if staying in the hotel, wow what an absolute bargain. As is the hotel the decor is football related and quirky but not in your face and was an absolute joy. 10/10. Ps just loved the toilets 😍

First of all, I am in no way shape or form a football fan! I came here with my 76 year old mother purely for somewhere to eat close to where we are staying. That being said, the atmosphere is lovely, the memorabilia is actually subtle, tasteful and interesting even for me! The food, well that's another story! Nothing subtle about fantastic food at amazingly good prices. £25 pp for the set menu was more than worth the money. The only mild downside for me personally was the TV screen showing sky sports in the restaurant. I totally get that this is a football themed establishment and the sound was turned down, just a distraction in my own humble opinion, I'm sure most patrons would be perfectly happy. All in all a huge thumbs up from me and mum!

Me and my party had afternoon tea at the bastion bar today and it was lovely great variety and quantity. One staff member stood out in particular to us his name was James he really couldn't do enough for us. He really was amazing at what he does and is a great asset to any employer. Would definitely recommend afternoon tea here and then drinks on the roof top as it really is fabulous

I had lunch here with family members, the table was very well prepared and the food was excellent. The service was also good. One small criticism saw two women sat near to us , one of whom was doing the others nails. As you could imagine the smell was not pleasant , particularly while we were eating. I found it incredible anyone would think this was acceptable behaviour! The staff dealt with it promptly and courteously . Other than that incident a very enjoyable visit.
