About The Shippons Pub & Kitchen
On Thingwall Rd, The Shippons Pub & Kitchen occupies a red-brick building that has been renovated while keeping its original character. The menu runs across a global range of twenty dishes, including chicken pot pie, lasagne and pate, with lemon cheesecake and custard among the desserts. A gin selection sits alongside the drinks list. Televised sport plays in the pub, and the format is walk-in, with no reservations taken. The result is a straightforward setup for dropping in for food or a drink at the counter.
Good to know
“Classic red-brick pub renovated sympathetically and serving an eclectic global menu with TV sport.”

Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly praise the two-course menu at £11.99, with attentive, friendly staff and one describing being moved into a heated marquee that became a highlight. Portions vary, though, one sticky toffee pudding was tiny and a dry burger noted. Complaints include undercooked brisket with bullet-like peas, and one birthday booking soured by being asked to relocate tables.

“We found this place on our way home from somewhere else on the Wirral. It has plenty of tables and it was quite busy on a Sunday afternoon. The staff were friendly and attentive. Worth visiting if you are passing that way.”

“This was this year's annual visit to the Shippons for my Birthday meal while cashing in on the Christmas menu. Today was asked to move the the marque. At first this seemed like a possible ill thought-out choice given the bonkers cold spell, and the temp was borderline cold/warm. But the staff were more than happy to switch on extra heaters and soon the marque became our own private Christmas wonderland. The food as ever was great and the prices you would struggle to beat anywhere else. What really stood out for my tonight was the staff. Don't get me wrong the staff the past years have been good, but tonight they were attentive, funny, friendly, and genuinely the type of staff you would dream to have working for you. A great little team and a real set of assets to the place. Hopefully see you for my birthday next year!”

“Great atmosphere, staff members were all so lovely, attentive and professional! The food was nice and for the price of two courses at £11.99, a bargain in this economy! I ordered a carrot cake for dessert as well and the slice was huge! 😋 Unfortunately my partner ordered a sticky toffee pudding, the portion was about 2 bites and the bacon and cheese burger was a tiny bit dry, apart from that would definitely go again! It's just a bit of a shame I had a different experience compared to the company I was with.”
