Pebbles Bar and Taverna

If you're looking for a decent bite in Ainsdale, and fancy something a bit different from the usual pub grub, give Pebbles Bar and Taverna a go. It's got a solid 4.6 stars on Google from 92 reviews, so they must be doing something right. It's not massive, so it has a cosy, intimate feel that's probably better suited for couples or smaller families rather than huge groups.

They do a mix of Mediterranean bits and bobs – think tapas, pizzas, that kind of thing. The website shows a few sharing platters that look pretty good if you're with someone who likes to share! I've heard good things about their cocktails too, so maybe one for a date night. It's open from 4pm until 11pm every day of the week, so it's more of a late afternoon or evening place.

It's on Station Road, so pretty easy to find. I'd say if you're planning on going on a Friday or Saturday, especially later on, it's probably worth giving them a ring on 01704 576845 to book a table. It can get busy.
