The Fairway Grill and Bar @ Formby Hall

Right, The Fairway Grill and Bar at Formby Hall. It's handy if you're already at the Hall for a spa day or a round of golf. Open every day 12 noon till 9pm, so pretty flexible. You'll find it just on the edge of Southport, still in Merseyside though, don't worry!

It's got a 3.8 rating from 44 Google reviews, so it's not blowing anyone away, but it's solid enough if you want something reliable. It's got that hotel restaurant vibe, so works well for both families and couples looking for a relaxed meal.

I'd say it's a safe bet if you're staying at Formby Hall, or if you need somewhere easy to take the kids after a day out. Food is decent enough, not pushing any boundaries. It's got that golf club atmosphere, so don't expect it to be super romantic.

If you're thinking of going on a Saturday or Sunday, it's probably best to ring ahead on 01704 875699 to book a table, especially if you are a big group.
