About The Office Bar & Restaurant

On Anchor St in Southport, The Office Bar & Restaurant serves a bistro-style menu of seasonal dishes alongside cocktails, with patio seating out front. A set menu runs alongside extra-cost specials, and recurring dishes include roast lamb, fish and chips, and salt and pepper chicken to start, plus a steamed steak pudding pie and a dairy free cheesecake among the desserts, with a sharing plate also offered. A pre-theatre menu is available, with a discount given on production of theatre tickets, and tables can be booked in advance for this sitting or general dining, though walk-ins are also welcome. The rear entrance sits just off Anchor Street, behind Sainsbury's.

Customer Review Summary

Roast lamb and fish and chips draw repeated praise, with diners also singling out the steamed steak pudding as one of the best pies they've had, ribeye steak with peppercorn sauce, and a dairy free cheesecake enjoyed before the theatre. Several mention good cocktails and a well stocked bar, and pre-theatre diners note a discount offered when showing tickets. Staff are consistently described as attentive and friendly, with quick drinks and food even when the room filled up, and multiple reviewers say they weren't rushed. One diner had a confirmed online booking lost but was still accommodated without fuss. The only recurring gripe is minor, one reviewer found the 2010s pop soundtrack incongruous though still enjoyed it. Reviewers repeatedly say they'll return, several with friends and family in tow, closing on praise for the pre-ordered birthday spread arriving promptly once a late-arriving group settled in.

    “Booked a table in advance, as it was a pre-theatre meal for 3 of us. We were taken to a lovely bright table, in a very nice area of the restaurant. I have to say that all of the staff were amazing from the outset. We weren't hurried at all, we felt we were well attended to. We didn't wait long for drinks or food, even though the restaurant was filling up quite quickly. The mains we chose were delicious and our desserts were divine. When we asked for the bill, the lady asked if we were going to the theatre, as she would give us discount if we showed her our theatre tickets. All in all we had a brilliant evening. We will definitely be coming back and we will be telling our friends and family how amazing you are. Thank you.”
