What a lovely place to eat. Fabulous food and very good value. We came for an 80th birthday gathering and all needs were catered for. Will certainly be back. Thanks for fine food and kind staff

Lovely food and great service

Even tho stated on the website for this venue that dogs where allowed greater at the door by the manager to be told they are not and with a attitude kept saying but Widnes does even tho we have a large booking for my brothers birthday at this venue. The manager then said just leave the dog in the car… it’s fucking 27c outside is she smoking crack?! When my mum turned up she then moaned that we was meant to arrive at 3:30 we only called up at 3:30 to book a table this woman needs to give her fucking head a wobble. Useless ball bag.

Food and staff were lovely. You will not be disappointed! My other half is so fussy with food and loved the starter and main he ordered.

We had a lovely time at the cafe, lots of kitties running around and being very friendly. The coffee and cake were top notch and the Cat Carers who work there are knowledgeable about the cats, and give great customer service. It's lovely to know this place benefits such a good cause.

Excellent service and very good food. Highly recommended.

great night food great staff and service top marks

As a household of cat lovers this place was an ideal birthday treat for myself. From the warm welcome we got from both staff and cats it was a wonderful experience, all the staff was so knowledgable about each cat and took the time to talk to us, we didn’t eat on the day but enjoyed a lovely hot chocolate. And to learn the place is staffed my volunteers and clearly cat lovers. Is a credit to the charity.Each and every cat looked in perr-fect health and happy in there surroundings. Thank you

The restaurant was very busy. We had made a reservation for 4.30 with ample time as we were going to the arena. Our drinks and food order was taken quickly and the staff were very pleasant. We waited for almost 45 minutes when we thought it was taking too long . People around us were getting served. There then seemed to be a big issue in the kitchen We asked the floor staff about this and they really didn't know what was going on With no time scale as to when we would get served . We eventually got our food..lots of people complained. The food was bring taken off the bill. Food was at best decidedly average... We will not return. Although the staff were lovely and there was clearly a bit of an issue.

Went for food on a Saturday evening lovely restaurant lovely staff . and you could not fault the food at a very reasonable price Will definitely be back.

First time diner; food was amazing, portions really big. Staff were so friendly and couldn’t be more helpful & there was a lovely atmosphere. Definitely eat there again

We had a meal last Saturday and the food was delicious as always You know that you can sit back and be pampered and enjoy a lovely visit

This was around our 10th visit to What's Cooking, we usually visit Liverpool a couple of times each year and booking What's Cooking is our first job. Had to say, this visit very disappointed. Quality of food - starters very good, main meals average. Service - very poor, waited around 1.5 hours for starters, we appreciated the restaurant was busy but they didn't do food orders in the order they were taken it was just pot luck if your ticket was chosen, we saw guests walking out who had been waiting over 2 hours for food, but some guests were leaving after 2 hours having a 3 course meal. We chased our food, some staff rushed off their feet. They said could not let us know when we would get food because it was chaos in the kitchen. Waiting staff very apologetic, management not so. We chased again our main meals and these arrived a little quicker but some of the food was anemic. We are not complainers and we felt for our waiting member of staff, so paid bill and left, maybe a future visit will be left for a while. Thank You

Amazing food, amazing friendly service!!

Great Scouse as always - packed so glad we booked a table in advance !
