Situated on the Wirral peninsula, near the border of Cheshire and Merseyside, The Chimneys can be found within the small village of Hooton. The character of the pub comes from its high ceilings and open fires. Our name comes from our roof line, which is festooned with over a dozen chimneys giving the building its distinctive appearance.
A country pub oozing rural charm and rustic character, our picturesque surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for savouring the hearty, seasonal pub-food on our menu, and the carefully nurtured cask ales and fine wines gracing our bar.
Whether you are planning dinner with friends or Sunday lunch with family, book a table online and enjoy some quality time with those you love the most.

I can’t recommend this place enough, we’ve been there for breakfast and we’ve got the full English breakfast. It was absolutely delicious, the best I’ve had in years! The mushrooms were cooked perfectly, the hash browns were crispy outside and soft inside. A perfect party for our mouths.
Superb food and service. Beth was very helpful and attentive. We had the turkey festive menu which was hot and delicious. The cheesecake with profiteroles for dessert were very tasty. Have eaten here numerous occasions and always had nice food. Would definitely recommend.
We visited for drinks about 12 months ago, when The Chimneys first reopened following a very extensive and attractive refurb. At the time, we were somewhat dismayed: the spaces felt hugely over-lit and lacking in atmosphere, despite tasteful furnishings and finishes etc. So we never returned, despite fully intending to come back for a weekend brunch. Today, we popped in for lunch on a whim and were delightfully surprised. There was a buzz for a midweek session (they offer a set lunch that’s good value), service was v professional and our food was rather good (certainly by Wirral pub food standards, eg. I preferred the menu to The Red Fox). Glad to see decent vegetarian and vegan options. We are coming back when they have the cosy fires lit (everybody round here seems to be waiting for Ian the sweep!). Thank you.
Good for vegans, accessible, comfortable and friendly. Several vegan options on the restaurant's menu, including the butternut squash and chickpea burger I had - lovely! They have soya and oatmilk, so hot drinks are no problem. The staff are very friendly and helpful, service was very fast. There are four steps up to the main entrance and a number of sets of steps internally, but also three ramp entrances, so it may well be possible to do the whole visit on the flat. Toilets are pleasant, very clean, with an accessible toilet, again on the flat. Prices are very reasonable. Surroundings are generally classy and comfortable (with the exception of an unpleasant display of antelope skulls high on one wall!) in a wonderfully Gothic building. We will definitely be returning, highly recommended.
Picked this place at random as we were traveling from Manchester to Birkenhead for a gig at the future yard ( The lottery Winners ). It’s not very often I say this, the staff were very pleasant the pub itself is very nice, now to the food, four of us all dined and none of us could fault it. It’s no doubt one of the best pub meals I’ve had in a long long time and I’ll be back to try the skewers 😋😋well done 👍👍👍
