About The North Western
The North Western occupies the former Great Western Hotel building inside Lime Street Station, a Wetherspoon pub with high ceilings and grade II listed features, and a station departure board displayed in the restaurant. Breakfast runs until noon, with the full English, eggs Benedict and beans on toast among the regular orders, alongside bottomless coffee. Lunch and dinner bring lighter bites, deli deals, vegetarian options, gourmet burgers and pizzas. Five hand-pulled cask ales are on offer under a Cask Marque, alongside craft beers, gins and soft drinks. Orders are placed at the table via QR code, and the pub is walk-in, with seating upstairs and a covered roof terrace. It is regularly busy during breakfast and lunch, with a steady flow of passengers from the station. Step-free access reaches the building from the adjoining Radisson Red Hotel.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast draws the most mentions here, especially the Full English with bottomless coffee, which one reviewer describes as a large plate with orange juice for under a tenner. Close behind, reviewers praise the real ales, with five on handpump noted more than once, and the table ordering from the seat, which they say keeps service quick even when the pub is packed. Eggs Benedict is called perfect, and others mention a pineapple juice and the extensive menu. Reviewers also like the high ceilings of the old station building, the upstairs seating, the roof terrace and the departure board for catching a train. The recurring caveat is price, with a couple of reviewers calling it one of the more expensive Wetherspoons, and one notes the food is standard fare. One breakfast of beans on toast arrived a bit cold. Several describe the staff as friendly and efficient, and one reviewer praises the free tea or coffee refills with a meal.

“I've been to various Wetherspoons and this one has to be the best one I've been to. The food (Full English Breakfast) was cooked lovely, and I'd ordered a pineapple juice drink. I normally go to one in Chester with a friend before our shifts at Chester Racecourse, but id definitely recommend to her to go to this Wetherspoons before jumping the train or the coach to Chester.”

“Had a lovely breakfast, the food was fast and delicious. I like the restaurant, it's right next to the station and they even have a board showing departure times so you won't miss your train. It's a great place to eat and relax before a major trip.”

“The North Western a modern wetherspoons in the grade ll listed former Great Western Hotel at Lime Street Station. It is usually very busy. There is a good selection of draught drinks including five hand pulled cask conditioned real ales, and the ones we tried were very good. It's the same menu as other Wetherspoons although it is a bit more expensive than the other wetherspoons I have just visited. There is plenty of seating upstairs and a covered roof terrace, the staff are very efficient and the service was quick, despite being very busy. It's definitely worth eating here if you are in Liverpool station.”

“No matter how busy this place gets - food is always good, served quickly (it is qr code ordering system from the table) and very well priced. All this and free tea or coffee for just £10.89, you can’t go wrong.”
