As a family we had been here a few times over the years and thoroughly enjoyed our experience each time, however when our party arrived at the restaurant in time for our booking, the doors were shut and lights were off. My mum and I stood in the pouring rain getting soaked while the rest of our party walked around to the front of the building to see if they could see anybody around. The place was closed. I didn’t receive any communication from Sheldrakes to say they would be closed and therefore wouldn’t be able to fulfil the booking, and our group then had to look for somewhere else to eat at very short notices Reading the rest of the recent reviews here it sounds like it was a blessing in disguise! So disappointing as we used to love coming here, however I would now avoid at all costs.

We turned up for our meal to discover the place was completely shut. I had no communication from the restaurant to say there was a problem with the booking or that the restaurant wasn’t open. Really disappointed, would not bother again.

We have tried several times to pop in for drinks/lunch, always closed. I did try phoning and nobody answered, just presumed very busy. Complete waste of time, we went for a walk on beach and had lunch elsewhere in Heswall. Great shame.
