The Bootle Oyster

If this is not the definition of a hidden gem, then I don't know what is. It takes a bit to reach it from the center but I would say it is well worth it. As far as I understand, every 6 months the businesses in there change for others so you will get new experiences always in terms of food and drinks. It is an amazing place to come with a friend to catch up. I paid 15 GBP for what you see in the picture and oh boy.. I did not had such a good stake in a looong time.

I love the Hatch! The venue has plenty of space so grabbing a table is never a problem. However, the option to reserve a table is easily done through their website. It attracts a wide variety of people from hipsters to students, and hosts a variety of live music performers which change weekly. Perfect for dates, friend meet ups or just a social drink among strangers in a beer garden style setting. There’s a wide variety of food and drink to choose from which is easily ordered via a QR code and bought directly to your table. Prices are a little high considering food/drink quantity and quality, but this can be easily overlooked. Now we are approaching the warmer weather, I’ll be sure to keep returning!

Very casual atmosphere, very lively and friendly. There are loads of places to get food and drinks so there is something for everyone. You can pick a table, scan the QR code next to the table number and order food and or drinks from any of the places here. They will be delivered to your table. If you're with friends you can order different types of food from all these different places. Most of the places are specialised in few dishes so they are really good.

Love the variety of places, the great atmosphere, the heaters (I've been a couple of times this winter and they're a lifesaver) and the amazing food. Pics are from my recent visit of some delicious loaded nachos and really lovely churros with chocolate custard. I really enjoyed the music too - great selection and not too loud as well. Can't wait to visit more over the rest of the year!

I've been here several times with large groups and always had a great time. I'd say this venue is ideal for group outings. You get a table, and everyone can order whatever kind of food/drinks they like delivered to the table. There is a varied choice of vendors, definitely something for everyone. In my experience, the food has always arrived promptly but is still fresh and hot.

so much choice, when I went there was QR code ordering from all the bars/restaurants so it was really easy to see what everything had to offer, there’s clothing shops to browse as well as dj’s playing music in the evening! I’ve ate here a few times and I loved everything I had, and the cocktails are brilliant!!
