Great service, maybe a little too quick! Excellent food, would have liked a better choice of cocktails (used a Wowcher) and a lovely atmosphere for a Wednesday evening! Will definitely return

Food was average and restaurant was very noisy. Waitress was pleasant but addressed us as “YOUS” continually! Staff kept wheeling metal carts past us!!! A very large room which would be better boothed off to prevent echo and noise.

Good food and service with a great atmosphere. Emma our waitress was excellent throughout the meal. The hotel caters for hen and stag parties but for us this was plus as the restaurant was fun and lively.

Quite the worst restaurant we have encountered for years. Fighting through the smokers at the door we then approached the tackiest place I have seen purporting to be a restaurant. Dozens of people round a bar, at least two screens showing football (yes I know it's the Shankly Hotel but we went for a meal). Add to that noise a singer as well, too loud. We were shown to a table next to three drunks sat drinking and then left alone. No offer of wine etc. Menu did look inviting but needless to say we left before ordering and eventually the wonderful staff at San Carlo squeezed us in for a lovely meal we should have been having at the Bastion.

Service was absolutely fabulous, the location is ideal and inside of the restaurant was lovely too. Only issue we has was the soup could have been hotter and was more tangy than I expected for a tomato and red pepper soup

The restaurant can be very busy and noisy. The food was very nice, but expensive. It is worth a visit, particularly if staying at the hotel.

Had a lovely afternoon at the Shankly Hotel. Amazing afternoon tea, with a few martinis, and a lounge in the sun afterwards on the rooftop terrace. Had a fussy eater with us and all her requests were readily fulfilled. Will return. I

Can't make its mind up whether it's a restaurant or a sports bar. The football memorabilia I get, but TV screens everywhere with Sky on a loop I don't. It was also full of hen parties. Not my idea of a good dining experience. As for the food. The selection was limited but that's ok. It was the quality that let it down. The scotch egg starter was ok but the salad which sat along side it had definitely seen better days. The lamb main was, again, ok but really too salty - a common complaint from the rest of my party who, between us had the lamb, ox cheek and the chicken breast. In short, I wouldn't recommend it and won't be returning.

Fab food, relaxing atmosphere, great service. Went for Afternoon Tea, when it arrived it didn't look much but there was too much to eat in the end. Very enjoyable and worth the money. Helps you escape the day to day stresses.

Was to noisey, restaurant was not seperate from the bar area. Also the Faberet entertainment was cancelled, I was not informed about this. This was the only reason we booked the meal as it was my Mum's 70th birthday. Food was average. Could not fault service of the staff though

Had Sunday lunch at the bastion, we had a wonderful time, food was delicious, I had the chicken & my husband had the beef, bruschetta & fishcakes to start & I had treacle tart for pudding, there was a Frank Sinatra tribute on & he was very good, only down side & why I scored 5, service was very slow, not every table was taken so not super busy, staff were very pleasant, just a bit slow on drinks service, but I would definitely go again

Lovely,friendly staff. Very clean and relaxed. Lovely starter of scotch egg and main course of chicken. However, the dessert which was strawberry cheesecake really let it down as it wasn't nice at all.
