Castle St Townhouse - Liverpool

We visited the restaurant on a Sunday morning in search of a much-needed full English breakfast after a night out. Although we initially had a minor issue with getting seated, it was quickly resolved and we were offered complimentary drinks. Three of us ordered the full English breakfast with high hopes after seeing other dishes being served. Unfortunately, when our food arrived, everything was lukewarm except for the hash brown, which was hot. The sausages seemed cheap and tasted as such, the bacon was not of good quality, and the black pudding was extremely unpleasant. The baked beans were overcooked and the scrambled eggs lacked flavor. The only saving grace was the bread. At £14.50, I expected better quality for the breakfast. I was disappointed by the use of cheap ingredients and the cold temperature of the food. It's a shame because I had higher expectations. There are many other nearby options with better quality food at reasonable prices. Despite already voicing my concerns once, I didn't feel like complaining further as I needed to eat and leave the car park.

The drinks were good, but it took 45 minutes for our food to arrive. Our mains were served cold and we received our starters halfway through. There weren't enough staff to handle the Saturday night rush. The food was not up to the standard we expected. We won't be returning to this restaurant anytime soon.

Jess T provided excellent and personable service. After a tiring day exploring England and Wales, we were grateful for the attentive service. I ordered the Penne Arrabbiata with chicken and it was absolutely delicious! There was plenty of sauce and the chicken was tender. My companions also enjoyed their meals. The live music added a wonderful touch to our dining experience.

Service was great, food was tasty, great options to choose from. Lovely atmosphere, live music starter as were leaving. Recommend to all

Jess S. was friendly, engaging and all round an excellent waitress. She took her time in explaining orders and size, very helpful for foreign visitors (U.S. North Carolina). Additionally, the food, ale, cleanliness and environment were second to none. Wil recommend to family and friends in both UK and U.S. … and recommend they ask for Jess S.
