The Packet Steamer Beefeater restaurant in Liverpool Here at the Packet Steamer Beefeater, Bootle we're famous for our friendly service and our perfectly grilled classic pub dishes. From our mouth-watering steaks to fresh fish and salads, you'll find plenty of great-value meals on the menu. We’re a great base for trips to Liverpool, and we’re a favourite with the locals too.

Our team We’re lucky to have such a dedicated and passionate team at the Packet Steamer. Some of our team members have been with us for over 30 years! That’s over 30 years of learning how to create a relaxed atmosphere, how to serve food in style and ultimately to deliver the perfect steaks single time.

We love being part of the community in Bootle, and we’re looking to do more charity work soon. We’d also like to start supporting Bootle FC, the local football team.

Our location We’re in a really convenient spot, only a 5-minute walk from the Old Roan train station with great links on to Liverpool and Ormskirk.

Our restaurant has two function rooms for hosting events. Our first room is smaller and holds up to 20 people, great for smaller occasions or gatherings. Our other function room can hold up to 50 people. Our function rooms are in a convenient part of the restaurant and are ideal for having your own space, make sure to book ahead if you’re interested!

We also have a relaxed, chilled out bar area, and we’re always showing the biggest games on BT Sports.

Make sure to take a look at our offers page for all our latest deals and promotions.

Why we love Liverpool Bootle is a scenic town and a great spot for enjoying a slightly slower pace of life, while still being ridiculously close to Liverpool. In fact, we’re only a 20-minute drive or 40-minute train journey away from Liverpool City Centre – you couldn’t pick a better place for a relaxed bite to eat before exploring the city! Bootle is right next to the scenic River Mersey, Crosby Beach and Derby Park – plenty of great places to take the kids after a meal out without driving around for ages.

There’s so much to say about Liverpool, we can’t possibly do it all justice here. It’s the city that brought the world the Beatles, it’s a major dockland hub that was vital during the industrial revolution and it’s also the home of one of the leading UK football teams.

After you’ve enjoyed a delicious meal with us, we’d recommend seeing the Beatles Experience and the Albert Docks, they’re close together and really capture the excitement of the city. Whether you’re stopping by for breakfast, lunch or dinner, after your meal there’s so much to see in Liverpool afterwards. Enjoy a great night out at the Cavern Club, the legendary Beatles venue, catch a Liverpool FC game at Anfield Stadium or lose yourself in the natural history World Museum. There’s great parks and outdoor spaces for walks too like Calderstones Park and Birkenhead Park. And of course, the home of the Grand National, Aintree Racecourse is only 5-minute drive away from our restaurant too.

Had an amazing meal, portion sizes were great couldn't finish what we'd been given, excellent value for money! Staff were warm and welcoming and Cheryl who was looking after us was great, so positive instantly made you feel better, atmosphere was quiet as we'd got there not long after opening time, really cosy place. Only issue I had was when I went to the men's toilet the cubicle was a mess of course I can't really blame the business for this as it was a customer who had left it like that, I couldn't take a star off for that tho as everything else was perfect! Will definitely be returning.

2nd visit : Excellent hospitality from Lisa J . She kept checking up making sure everything was ok and if I needed anything. Bit upset that had to book on. Asking at the desk she said nothing she could do. Never gave me any options eg. Would you like to book for later or come back in a bit just palmed me off. So I left and booked for 8:15pm. Other than that it was good food was nice. Shame about no cookie dough available 2nd time now month apart.

I had an evening meal here as well as breakfast as I was staying in the adjacent hotel. All staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and couldn’t do enough for you which was great. I had the fish and chips with mushy peas for my evening meal which was lovely, really well cooked and very tasty. The breakfast is a buffet style but all good was tasty and hit, with plenty of choice and the coffee was great. A visit is highly recommended

I want to start this review by saying I couldn't recommend this place more. Lovely service and very nice decor and feel to the place. The food was delicious, the staff were the friendliest and so professional!! We originally both ordered the chicken burger, unfortunately it came out quite black and burned although the chicken inside was cooked perfectly. I brought this to the attention of our server and they returned it to the kitchen. 5 mins or so later the floor manager came over to inform us that the chicken burgers had been prepped incorrectly and to share his deepest apologies that they could no longer serve us chicken burgers. Instead we opted to substitute our order with the beef burgers, not much time later we were served with two very delicious double beef burgers, fries and coleslaw. All perfection and very tasty! The sauces are their very own brand and they taste spectacular. Upon paying the bill the floor manager informed me he had knocked the price of a burger off to apologies for the delay in service andbeing unable to provide the chicken burgers. I had to decline and ask that he add it back on as a tip, I couldn't in right mind take a discount for that level of service and quality of food. This is the level of service restaurants aspire to, we'll definitely be back again, and hopefully next time we can have the chicken burgers, I bet they're delicious! Lastly, the speed of service is fantastic, from walking in the front door, all of the above happening and then leaving to catch our cinema film, we were only there for about 70 minutes max! Thank you Packet Steamer staff, you're wonderful!

First time having a breakfast in a Beefeater and at £9.50* per person!! this is an absolute bargain for what IMHO is made with good quality ingredients. *apparently upto 2 under 16 year olds can eat for free with every fee paying Adult . Paula greeted me and took care of everything, and as for the breakfast...Les the breakfast Chef cooked up an absolutely delicious breakfast. Both poaches eggs and soft boiled egg were cooked to absolute perfection - thank you LES you superstar eggspert🥰 . Restaurant and toilets were immaculate, actually smelt mega fresh and hygienic!! Sorry, Toby Carvery...I won't be back again anytime soon to eat your breakfast. Well done to ALL Beefeater staff & management - I can't wait to return!!
