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
Reviewers most often praise the service, describing staff as friendly and attentive, with drinks and food arriving without a long wait even when the restaurant filled up. Close behind are the mains, with the roast lamb, fish and chips, beef roast, ribeye with peppercorn sauce and a steamed steak pudding all singled out as tasty and well presented. Starters and desserts also earn mentions, including salt and pepper chicken, a sharing dessert plate and a dairy free cheesecake, while house wines and cocktails are called good. Several diners came for a pre-theatre meal or a group birthday and say they were not hurried. One reviewer found the 2010s pop music incongruous, though they enjoyed it anyway. Another had lost their online booking and was still accommodated without fuss. One pre-theatre party was offered a discount when the bill came after the server saw their theatre tickets.

“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.”
