Nostalgia Tea Rooms - Sefton

During our annual friends and family gathering in Southport, we decided to celebrate a member of our party turning 80 with afternoon tea at The Nostalgic. We made a reservation in advance and were thrilled with our choice. Despite it being Christmas time, the staff went above and beyond by decorating the serving platter with a birthday message in chocolate and putting up birthday banners. The afternoon tea was delicious and a great value for the money. To top it off, they even surprised us with some warm chips at no extra charge due to the cold weather. The service was outstanding, with friendly and efficient staff who made the birthday girl feel truly special. Comparing our experience to a visit to a nearby tearoom, which was not as welcoming and chilly due to the open shop door, we were extremely happy with choosing The Nostalgic for our celebration. I would highly recommend this establishment and look forward to returning on our next trip to Southport. Thank you to everyone at The Nostalgic for making our afternoon truly memorable.

Whenever we come across a new restaurant, we like to browse their menus online through their website. In December 2023, we were surprised to see that the restaurant was still promoting the "Eat Out to Help Out" initiative from August 2020 on their website. It gave us the impression that the restaurant was outdated and lacked motivation. The food was decent and the service was above average, but it felt like the restaurant was struggling to stay afloat. The management often responds to TripAdvisor reviews, so it will be interesting to see their explanation for the outdated promotion on their website.

The tearooms are absolutely stunning, and I had a wonderful Sunday Roast that was cooked perfectly. The staff were incredibly professional and attentive. I brought my 3-year-old with me, and it was heartwarming to see how the staff interacted with her - she had a great time. Keep up the fantastic work, and we will definitely be returning soon.

Absolutely gorgeous Christmas lunch , massive portion size all home cooked . Could not recommend anywhere else for a lovely Christmas meal , staff very helpful really impressed and will definitely be going back..

Food plentiful, excellent quality, staff attentive great experience all round, the venue itself is like stepping back into time, love the dresses that are worn, it’s upstairs and downstairs era, Fab! Nostalgia is the right name for these tea rooms
