Pen Factory

Stunning food, great ambience and friendly staff. Haven't enjoyed a meal like that in a long time! The Spanish chip butty is both amazing and a ridiculous size. The camembert was fabulous and even the salads were divine.

Good service , great food , nice atmosphere The food menu is varied and although the portions are on the small side this is reflected in the price and you can order extra dishes, The quality of the food is great .

Fantastic food and drink. Great informal atmosphere, and the dishes are varied but really tasty. The angry chicken is a particular favourite. Can’t wait to go again.

The Pen Factory is amazing, would recommend to anyone wanting food or drink! Spanish chip butty is a particular favourite, brilliant concept! They also serve excellent coffee.

Lovely venue in a great location. Food was delicious and the staff were really helpful and friendly . I would definitely recommend the Pen Factory.

Lovely food in a nice space. Really recommend. Music was a bit loud, making dinner conversation a challenge, but otherwise, ambience is pleasant. Server was friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.

Great food and ambience with helpful and friendly young staff. With the cold weather the wood burning fire was really welcome! Menu offers many delights.

Very understated and pleasant place to eat. this was my second visit here, and on both occasions have been met with excellent service and really nice, well thought out and prepared food. will definitely be visiting again.

Great place and perfect location. The staff are always friendly. The beers are good too. Love the camenbert - but would like more bread :-)

Just what we have been looking for in Liverpool, a lively place serving good food that can be easily consumed before a concert or show.

Great atmosphere friendly service & great food - fab! Quirky venue in a good location Small plates not tha small good value and really different

It was excellent, food was lovely and the staff friendly and very attentive. We ordered 4 dishes and a dessert, after the waitress advised how large one of the dishes was we dropped one from our initial order, and she was so right. Can’t fault any of it, excellent.

We enjoyed our visit. Good choice of real ales, tasty food - just wished we had ordered a salad with the meat dishes. The bread is delicious!

Second time here, great place for lunch or evening, but book its popular, nice vibe, friendly staff food imaginative, also not tiny portions either. I enjoyed the cider very much.

I can't recommend Pen Factory enough - the small plates are varied and inventive while there's a variety of craft beers on draft and a very decent wine selection. The staff were helpful, swift and cheery and the ambience created by the eclectic crowd of patrons adds to a great experience.

Great place for lunch. Lovely meal and very accomodating for children. We all really enjoyed the chocolate brownie for dessert. This is our third visit and we will definitely be back.

Excellent service, delicious food and really good value for money. Cocktails were lovely with good choice. Will definitely return to sample the other dishes on offer

Great place to go. Good atmosphere and good service. The food is interesting and flavoursome. Small plates are actually good sized portions. I will definetly be returning.

Party of 3 people. It was our first visit and we were delighted with the food and the attentive staff. The food was delicious and portions were generous.

Great food at more than reasonable prices. Fab wine list. And the nicest staff in town. It's a wonderful (albeit different) reminder of happy days in the Bistro next door.

Not a lot of choice on the menu but what was on there was nice. Long wait for drinks although it was a saturday night

Really tasty food, the Mushrooms on Toast was a generous size and delicious. There's not a huge menu but more than enough to find something you like. The cooked is fresh and well cooked and reasonably priced. I would recommend this restaurant.

Always love eating here. The staff and service is always excellent, the food is different than the norm, and the small plate portions are very adequate. First time we went we ordered too many even though we did manage to finish them. We loved the duck chow mein with a fried egg, but unfortunately it wasn’t on the menu last time we went, but loads of other choice.

Friendly staff, good food and drink. Excellent value. It got very busy around five and six and this resulted in slow service. This hadn’t happened on previous visits. Other than that it was a good experience. Definitely return and recommend.

Although a 25 minute walk up hill from the main shopping area it was well worth the hike. The menu I feel is best suited for lunchtime dining. It caters for vegetarians as well and the menu is intestine. It is well worth a visit.

Always enjoy the ambience here-relaxed and friendly. Good value for money-we enjoy the 2 small plates-sometimes depends on what you choose to the size of portions-I never feel really full when I leave but always enjoy what I have! The sourdough bread is delicious and there are some unusual dishes to enjoy.

Staff a bit inattentive at first. Seated ourselves got the menus myself and ordered after a few more minutes. Food was good, smallish potions, glad we ordered fries too.

Big open space but with a relaxed cosy atmosphere with very friendly and efficient staff. The food was excellent with a wide range of small plates for sharing. The garden looks lovely too for when the weather gets warmer!

Good atmosphere, delicious food, friendly service, perfect location for the Everyman Theatre. This is the second time I have been to this restaurant and I would definitely go back again.

Lovely salad, soup and meat and fish small dishes. Sourdough bread was delicious. Overall nice food and friendly service, will go back again. Lamb dish was a bit bland though.

The food was absolutely first rate. However, the service was poor in relation to taking our orders and when ordering drinks getting this wrong. This has happen quite a few times on our repeated visits and is something that lets down what could have been an enjoyable experience.

lovely food and great atmosphere. I have only give a score of 5 because the bill was wrong but it was quickly sorted without a problem. Overall great night out.

Lovely food, great atmosphere, marvellous cocktails, splendid choice of cheese. Really nice venue, fire roaring in the winter and a good outdoor space in the summer.

The Pen factory has a Brilliant atmosphere. It has a Great choice of beers ciders and wine plenty of choices on the menu. We had tapas which was lovely

Food good but i had to wait considerable time for Soup and 2 plate menu dishes served too close together so 2nd dish cold before 1st finished.

Great food. Ordered a selection for a group of us. All of them were very good. Great selection of beers too. Would have scored higher but we found it cold as we were on a table near the draft from the door. Also, toilets looked they were half way through being improved and were quite scruffy compared to the rest of the bar.

Great food cheap prices great atmosphere ! Staff very friendly and attentive the service was fast yet relaxed I’m going back in a couple of days !!

The Pen Factory is actually a restaurant and NOT a pen factory so don’t go if you want to buy a pen! DO go if you want some great food!!

A very friendly, lively place serving small plates. The food was excellent, and nicely presented, and the beer was superb too. This is a place that does all the important things very well, and with a bit of creativity.

Went for a pre concert dinner service excellent food superb this restaurant is in a basement with relatively low ceilings hence a fair degree of ambient noise is to be expected however this did not detract from the overall experience

Lovely staff, amazing food which is so flavoursome, warm and cosy atmosphere and great price! It was my second time visiting and will definitely be returning.

Great food, good atmosphere. The only thing that could be improved was more bread with the baked camembert. The risotto was lovely. Will try veggie tapas next time.

Went on saturday for lunch with our 2 boys. Great menu our children really enjoyed the chippy tea special and the meatballs. The chocolate brownie dessert was a real hit too.

Great venue, good choice of beers & wine and lovely food. More of a tapas style so order a few plates. Great atmosphere & really friendly staff.

Great place lovely staff varied food would recommend busy but in a lively way. I would book in advance mainly couples and groups good vibe.

Lovely delicious food and an interesting menu. The service was fast and efficient with friendly and polite waiting staff. I would highly recommend this restaurant

We enjoyed our time at the Pen Factory. We went for pre-theatre drinks and snacks. The service was prompt; the food was tasty and there was a good choice of beers.

Great meal for a bargain price. We went for the 50% off tues-weds after 8pm deal. The food was delicious and I would recommend to anyone wants a cheap midweek meal. They had live music as well which added to the ambience.

Lunch with my daughter and we had a great time. Lovely food and friendly prompt service. We were very well looked after by all the waiting staff.

Eight of us visited the Pen Factory all bar me where from out of town. All of us were impressed (though not my first time there). The food was great and excellent value for money. We all went for the 2 small plates for £10. though the plates weer not as small as they can be, which obviously was nothing to complain about. Finally the staff wwre friendly and helpful. Recommended
