About Irby Mill
On Mill Ln in Greasby, Irby Mill is a sandstone pub that has stood since 1980, with a dark wood bar and a stone fireplace inside. The menu runs to around 50 dishes, with Crispy Halloumi Fries and a Sausage Platter alongside lighter options like Olives & Bread and the Soup Of The Day.

“★★★★★ Had a fantastic experience at Irby Mill. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing, the service is friendly and attentive, and everything was well presented. A lovely place to visit with great hospitality and a comfortable setting. I’d happily recommend Irby Mill and will definitely be back!”

“I came recently. Starters were lovely. I ordered a steak (cooked blue) with blue cheese sauce. The steak was overcooked. Not massively but more on the medium side/ rare side. Not an issue as it tasted nice anyways. The sauce was a peppercorn sauce. I asked for a blue cheese sauce and got a surprised look. The waitress bought a new jug of sauce out of blue cheese but instead of saying sorry that was a mistake here you go (not that I was asking for her to say anything) proceeded to attempt to gaslight me by telling me that my first sauce was a strong blue cheese sauce made by the chef. Despite it looking like peppercorn sauce, smelling like peppercorn sauce and tasting like peppercorn sauce. Such a shame because if she hadn’t have said all that, this would probably be a 5 star review however that 1 remark showed the lack of customer service and really annoyed me. 2 stars for atmosphere as there wasn’t any aside from tables chatting.”

“We visiting this venue for lunch. Booked a table for 4 When we arrived the place was empty... This was 1pm Waitress too our order When it arrived the order was incorrect. Wrong meal x2 We didn't have the time to change the meals over. Beer was warm. Overall we want be returning. The pub is so beautiful inside Such a shame the service was very poor. The place was empty so there no excuse to get the order wrong . So sorry to leave this review, But this needs to improve for other visitors.”

“A real mixed bag during my visit recently for a family meal. Service was initially good and there wasn't much wait on the food. Two of our meals were absolutely fine, but the steak was overcooked despite asking for it very rare. Also asked for blue cheese sauce but was given CLEARLY peppercorn. Asked for it to be changed and tbf the girl was very apologetic at first. However, when the correct sauce came out we were informed that the 'chef' had mentioned that the original was in fact blue cheese sauce, just a little stronger! This was complete rubbish as it was clearly peppercorn, taste, smell, look. We did not appreciate them trying to pull the wool over our eyes and basically lied to. That is the reason for the low scores, simple as that. Something so small could have easily been sorted without the BS.”

“Very friendly, rural pub in the Wirral. Lovely meal, I had an 8oz burger with chunky chips, washed down with a pint of Timothy Taylor’s Best Golden, which was also great. My wife’s smoky bean chilli was also very tasty, not too smoky and quite mild on the chilli, so not for the afterburner seekers.”

“First opened in 1980 our traditional sandstone pub is located on the site of a former wind mill and holds a lot of fascinating history. Today, you will find a warm cosy atmosphere with lots to offer from our extensive menu of home cooked, real pub food. As an award winning real ale pub, we pride ourselves on our fine selection of 8 carefully kept real ales. The beer garden is the perfect place to relax on a warm summer’s day with friends and family. We also welcome our four-legged friends in the beer garden and the bar area.”
