Traditional pub restaurant in the centre of Heswall: great food, great beer, fine wine & friendly atmosphere!
The Jug & Bottle, a traditional pub nestled away in the heart of Heswall on the Wirral peninsula.
The Jug as its affectionately called by our regulars is a stones throw from the ‘hustle & bustle’ of Heswall, hidden up behind the village hall & library. Our bar has a buzzy feel to it with a few of Heswall’s great and good popping in for a pint. We’ve also got a quieter side for a more relaxed or intimate meal. Whilst she might not be prettiest of pubs from outside once you’re in you’ll feel right at home. The Jug is full of character with open fires and different cosy areas to hide away in.
In the summer we have a lovely terrace over-looking the surrounding gardens with glimpses of the Dee estuary & North Wales through the trees.
Our bar serves a great selection of local beers and some really good wines from slightly further afield. Our award-winning menu is a good mix of British cuisine, some familiar classics and some slightly more interesting dishes, all sourced as locally as we can without compromising quality.
The pub has six en-suite guest bedrooms upstairs, so should you over indulge or are visiting the Wirral for business or pleasure, the Jug offers an ideal base. We’re within half an hour of both Liverpool & Chester and just 5 minutes off the M53.

Nice location and efficient table service from waiting staff. Bar service questionable, 2 staff cleaning lines, 1 staff bottling up and no sevice? Not entirely impressed with the food, which was quite standard, contrary to other reviews and website description.
All departments of this delightful small hotel/pub were excellent. The Bar service, Kitchen, Housekeeping, The rooms, Cleaning services, Reception, Restaurant staff & Management all were 100% on the ball. The décor despite it being Christmas is extremely tasteful. The down side to our visit was that we were only there for 1 night. Heswall is in a perfect location for visiting The Wirral. I fully recommend it.
I've liked this place since last century when I first went! I had haddock and chips which should be standard fare anywhere but this one managed to be the best. Fish was perfect, batter was crisp and not too thick, chips were good right to the end, no soggy ones and the peas were garden peas mashed with mint. Also tasty tartare sauce.
Lovely little pub. The rooms were a little dated and corridor carpets certainly need a good shampoo. Beds were comfortable if pillows were a little watery. The restaurant was very good. If I was local, I would be a regular customer! Service was excellent. If I was ranking for just breakfast or dinner, I would give an easy 5 stars.
Tucked away in the posh bit of the Wirral, Sunday lunch here was generous and tasty with plenty of options and super helpful staff. Good value for money too. We didn't stay over so don't know what the rooms were like but the bar and restaurant were really well maintained and comfortable. Roast beef recommended!
