Arthurs of Hoylake is an independent wine bar and eatery in the Wirral, serving Mediterranean-inspired dishes, quality wines and cocktails in a relaxed setting. Open for lunch and dinner, the restaurant is a popular choice for everything from casual lunches and drinks with friends to date nights, birthday celebrations and leisurely Sunday roasts.
The light-filled dining room is centred around large bay windows that flood the space with natural light. Wooden wall panelling, brown leather booth seating and deep green leather chairs create a warm atmosphere, while artwork and decorative patterned walls add character throughout. Statement lighting hangs overhead, lending a contemporary feel to the space. For private celebrations and special occasions, guests can also make use of the venue’s dedicated function room. Outdoor seating is available during warmer months.
The menu combines Mediterranean influences with crowd-pleasing classics. Bar bites include olives and salt and pepper cashew nuts, while small plates range from salt and pepper chicken and teriyaki beef to homemade Moroccan hummus with toasted focaccia, whipped feta with hot honey and tempura halloumi. Lunchtime options include sandwiches such as chicken, bacon and avocado, Reubens and salmon and cream cheese bagels, alongside a selection of salads.
Larger dishes include tuna steak, penne arrabbiata and an 8oz fillet steak, while pizzas, burgers and antipasti sharing boards provide plenty of choice for groups. Vegetarian diners are well catered for, and an allergen menu is available to support a range of dietary requirements. Sundays bring traditional roasts served with all the trimmings. Desserts include Arthur’s sundae with fruit and whipped cream, pistachio cannolis and seasonal fruit gateau.
As befits an independent wine bar, drinks play a central role. Guests can choose from sparkling wines, Champagne, rose, orange, white and red wines, alongside signature cocktails such as strawberry and rhubarb negronis, mango coladas and espresso martinis, as well as beers, spirits, soft drinks, teas and coffees.
