The Pear Tree Inn - Liverpool

Went last Friday . Got to say I was not impressed. Mostly young staff who although they where very conscientious had no experience . Young girl behind the bar didnt even know how to pour a pint of shandy . (I should of known better and give up at that point). We then ordered food after they finally had something available to order on the 5th attempt of trying. (DEFO SHOULD OF GIVE UP AFTER THAT). Then the food arrived mine was ok the burger was lovely. My husband had a fillet steak which he tried to cut with a normal knife as no steak knife was provided(hmmmm not getting any better)in his own words I dont know what animal that steak was from but it wasn 't a cow full of fat and grissel and impossible to cut with a butter knife. The waiting on staff where so eager they cleared away his sauce before he had finished with it and then cleared rest of plates before I had finished eating. All in all not a pleasant experience and will not be returning. I know new places can sometimes have teething problems but this was a joke.

Together with my wife and a friend we visited this Inn one evening of this week entering via a smoke tunnel by the door which should have perhaps warned us a little of what was to come. Credit where it is due we were served promptly by a pleasant barmaid who, when I enquired about food, said we do food but tonight the fishcakes and burgers are off: the menus are on the tables . I turned around and noticed that neither my wife nor our mutual friend had taken a seat. As I walked towards them I gradually began to smell a distinctive odour of mustiness/body odour. The seats themselves were heavily stained with goodness knows what and the wall-paper had been patterned at one time. People stared at us three as if we came from another planet and in reality it seems like we evidently did!! I am guessing that this place is frequented by guys who want to have a drink before they go home to their partners or whoever. Suffice to say we drank up as soon as possible and left. The only two reasons I have not given this place a terrible rating are that the barmaid was pleasant and we didn 't actually eat here although we genuinely had intended to in the first instance.

We rang up tonight before we went in because we knew everywhere was busy and we were told no it’s fine just come in, the barman was probably the rudest person you could of ever come across he clearly did not want the order so I have no idea why he didn’t just say we are too busy! he said it will be a while and we were fine with that! After paying for our food we had sat down for a while and then the fella who took our order sent a really nice young waiter over to say we haven’t got any nachos we said that’s ok can we have our money back then! Absolute disgraceful service! Rudest man ever

On there Web site shows food from 12 noon today my wife and self showed up at 4.30pm went bar to order food now the joke the bar man stated chef don't come in till 5pm to 5.15pm so said then you'll have to wait ended up walking out thay should state this on there Web site or update it at least.

Booked a table for 2 for our anniversary, they sat us at their most perfect and quiet table in the corner perfect for some privacy on our special night. We shared 2 pizzas and a side on their amazing deal which was perfect! The pollo was to die for and the Honolulu was so different to any Hawaiian I had had before. Thankyou for making my night even more special!
