About us

Ed and Jill Loftus became the new landlords in 2010, and extensively refurbished the pub to ensure that it provides a welcome and restful retreat from the outside world. It's a great place for people to meet up and relax in a friendly atmosphere.

We serve an array of cask-conditioned ales, a great selection of wines and provide a wide range of freshly prepared food everyday.

The Fishermens Rest was originally the Coach House for The Birkdale Palace Hotel, and during the 1930’s and 40’s welcomed stars like Clarke Gable and Frank Sinatra.

We like to think that our style is friendly, relaxed and welcoming. In 2010 we were voted β€˜One of The Famous Grouse Top 100 Famous Pubs in Britain’.

We are proud to be part of the Campaign for Real Ales (CAMRA) and we have been awarded as a Licensee of Excellence 2013 and Best Community Pub 2014.

A local favorite with a long and interesting history. The food was really good and way beyond what you might expect form a local pub. Well done!!!

Went here with a friend and his family. We had it booked for 3PM, but were a bit early (about 15-20 minutes I believe) and were still let in. We ordered our drinks at the bar, and they were quickly ready. After we were shown to our table, where I was told the story of the place, which I recommend looking up if you don't know it yet. Alternatively they've got pictures and writing inside where you can read the story in detail as well. Once picked out, we ordered our food at the bar, and it was brought to us very soon. While waiting it's the perfect time to read said interesting story. But the food didn't just arrive soon, it also tasted wonderfully. They've also got wide variety in both drinks and food. Both of which are also fairly priced, and considering the taste, maybe even cheap. We also got some extra gravy and desserts very quickly after asking for it. The staff were also very kind. All in all, there is a great atmosphere, story, food, and service, and I have no complaints. The only thing one might dislike is the music playing in the background, but it was just my taste and it suited the atmosphere, so the upbeat 80's were just fine with me. My Verdict: 10/10 Perfect (my first 10/10 review).

Whilst enjoying a sunny Saturday, in Southport, we decide to have lunch at The Fishermens Rest. Upon entering the staff were very friendly and the surroundings were nice. We sat outside as it was a lovely sunny 🌞 day. I ordered fish and chips 🍟. The fish tasted fresh, and the portion size was good, and prices are very reasonable. The lasagne my dining partner had was very tasty and a good portion size served with salad πŸ₯— and garlic bread. Overall, the food and service were of a good standard. The toilet 🚻 was very modern and clean. If you're in Southport, Pop in you won't he disappointed πŸ‘
