The Romper has changed hands quite a few times in the last few years. Up until recently, it was a traditional pub which also had a very nice dining area with beams and a coaching house type of feel to it. The food and service at that time were of a very high standard and so it was that in late July 2008, we decided to have an evening out at the Romper again. We booked a table for 7pm and on arrival, we were surprised to note that it had changed hands again, this time becoming the Romper Mediterranean restaurant. Considering that it was a fine Saturday evening, the outside decked area was busy and yet the restaurant inside was almost empty! Nevertheless we took our table and ordered. Whilst waiting, I noted the internal refurbishments which, whilst adequate, i felt detracted from the traditional feel of the place and i much preferred it as it used to be. My starter of Lentil soup arrived and I had the distinct feeling that it might actually be tinned with some garnish added ! Onto the main course, lamb kebabs with rice and salad. No complaints about the lamb, well cooked and tasty. The salad, i think, was from a packet and was limp and not very fresh. The rice was dry and didn't seem to be freshly cooked. I also had a feeling that my glass of cider was somewhat lacking in strength! We paid our bill and left. We shall not return and sadly, i cannot recommend the Romper Mediterranean

Absolutely delicious!!

Dined for lunch in the Brasserie. Lovely building and service was pleasant. The black pudding starter was nice enough, although a little crisp on one edge. The bouillabaisse main course was probably as bad as I could expect. Out of the 6 mussels 4 were closed, the bisque was greasy and bland and the rest looked liked off cuts of old fish, probably not fit for the stock. If the Arkle was open we would have dined there, but if the same staff are cooking there then we probably saved a penny or two. Still £85 for three drinks, 1 starter and no dessert seems a rip off for the quality. We will not return.

Not good, food not freshly cooked, service slow and unhelpful.

Excellent atmosphere between the staff great service also. Very friendly people who work there and i am definitely going to be going again

Friendly staff, inexpensive, lovely pastas, deserts bit of a let down after a lovely main meal, but didn't ruin the evening.

hi, could you please send me your opening times. thank you.

I would recommend "Da Piero" to anybody. The best "Bucatini all'amatriciana" ever! Including the (many!) I had in Italy. The quality of the food is superb! Piero imports everything directly from Italy, even the sea salt! This type of quality and attention to details is unprecedented in North West's Italian Restaurants.

I visited Jabula with my partner a few weeks back, following hearing a radio advert for it. My first impressions were not great, i struggled to find the front door, and was met by a young brunette lady and a young man, who proceeded to stare at me as if i was an alien and clearly not wanting a meal. Following me asking to eat we were seated, and from there it was a a truly fantastic experience. (i later found these were not usual front of house staff). I sat, then when another couple left, was offered their table with a better view. I listened to the small blonde ladies recommendations for a first timer and they were sublime, as was all the food we saw come out. It was tasty, relaxing, and a unforgettable experience. After a shaky start, we didn't want to leave. I really must stress whilst the food was fantastic, A+, the service was in a league of its own, so fast, so helpful, so smiley, I even offered the blonde waitress a job and tried to pinch her! If your on a corporate night out, go somewhere else as its loud and in your face... If your on a birthday, don't even think of going somewhere else! Head to Jabula... Authentic, tasty, friendly.

I went as a surprise for my 50th birthday and I must say it was a night to remember the food was excellent as was the service but i must admit my dessert of Italian ice cream was my fave. Also i enjoyed the lady singing. All in all you made it a night to remember so Thank You

the restaurant was lovely, tasted superb - loved it.

Da Piero is a little gem of a restaurant, in my view one of the best in Wirral/Merseyside/Chester region. We've eaten there several times now. It's an authentic Sicilian restaurant which prides itself on sourcing high quality products both from this country and Sicily. The pasta, fish (the fish wrap is particularly delicious!) and meat dishes are of a consistently high quality - quite unusual for a restaurant in my experience. I recently discovered the reason - Piero, the chef, does all of the cooking himself. You will be warmly welcomed and looked after by Dawn, Piero's wife. I can't recommend Da Piero enough -we're lucky to have such a great local restaurant.

Had a shocker of a meal here.......the food, the decor and the staff all seem to be stuck in a 70's time-warp!!

Just had the Set Sunday Lunch Menu. 4 courses for £9.50. Soup, Appetisers, Choice of Main and Ice cream to follow. Excellent Value. The food and service was very good. Will definitely visit again.

The Blandest most tasteless excuse for a curry I have ever, I would say tasted but that would imply the curry had some flavour.

I think this place is really good. I like it. It's nice. Except the rollercoaster wasn't what I expected and the hotdogs were too big.

We as a family of 3 went to Donatello Pizzeria for fathers day. The restaurant was not fully booked, we was shown to our seats and it took a further 15min before anybody asked us if we wanted drinks, then it was a further 25min before they took our order and from getting the starter it took a further 25min to get the main meal considering the restaurant was not full the service was appalling would not be going again

dis plaice is so amasin! the main gai, paul lindeman, is so camp but gives propa gd serfice lyk. i wud cum here agen and agen and agen, is jst really gud!
