Back in August I wrote about Cromwells Restaurant, a local restaurant in Wirral that we had visited. We were so bowled over by the food and the service that it didn’t take long before we returned.
After asking on Twitter for local recommendations for a restaurant that sold Lobster (as our previous local restaurant the Lobster Grill has closed down), Kay from Cromwells mentioned that they could do it for us as they do offer it but to order only. After we thought about it for all of five minutes we decided to go out for a swanky meal of Lobster!
We arrived at 7pm, had the first bottle of wine (yes there was more than one!), and shortly after our starters arrived. I had decided to try the warm prawn and ginger salad. It was gorgeous. David had a starter combo for one which consisted of garlic ciabatta bread, scampi, onion rings and potato wedges, all cooked perfect and that looked very nice too!
Then came the Lobster thermidor. Perfectly done and, I must admit, much better than the Lobster Grill used to do it! The meat was perfectly cooked and the cheese sauce was spot on. It was what I’d be thinking about for the past 48 hours and was certainly worth the wait!
Our desserts were again perfect. I had a mud pie cake, and fancied two different types of ice cream and couldn’t decide, so I was given both! (Although David stole half of one of my scoops!!). Plus two further bottles of wine and a latte, our evening was complete.
To give an example of how comfortable we were made to feel, we realised after we left that we’d been there for 4 hours! This wasn’t through being kept waiting for food, far from it. We’d just been so relaxed and chatting with Kay, the general manager, that the time simply flew by! Such a relaxed atmosphere and top notch food and service.
We’ve already booked to take our friends and family here for a meal on the evening before our wedding, to save everyone searching for somewhere to go. Despite not fully knowing the final figures they’ve been happy to accommodate us, offering a special menu, table decorations and a table plan!
When it comes to Cromwells, the food speaks for itself, the service speaks for itself and you’re certain to have a fantastic meal out. They’re currently taking Christmas bookings and they’re open on Christmas day! 
Everything about that meal was top quality. I liked the meatloaf I had the previous time more though, that was fantastic and definitely recommended.
