Southport Eating Out Guide

REDISCOVER... THE EXPERIENCE OF DINING OUT

Welcome to this the 14th edition of the Southport Restaurateurs Association (SRA) ‘Eat Out in Southport’ guide. For those of you who are not familiar with who we are, and even those who are, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about the SRA. The Association was founded in 2006 and now has 26 members all of whom are proud to offer a varied style of restaurant and cuisine for you to enjoy. Our members serve everything from Italian to Indian and Japanese to Chinese – not forgetting traditional British of course. When the SRA was set up it had one simple aim – to promote our businesses to you, our customers. All member restaurants are vetted before being allowed to join and have to make certain guarantees. One of which, I am particularly proud of in this era of fast food and microwave chefs, is that we promise that over 70% of the food we serve is produced freshly on site using as many locally sourced ingredients as possible. Each restaurant is owned by local people who, like yourselves I am sure, take pride in the things that we own. With us you will get that personal touch that only an owner can offer and I know full well that all of us love to meet our customers and get to you know you as friends. When you visit the ‘special offers’ section of visitsouthport.com, you will find many restaurants running some great seasonal promotions. Most of all we pride ourselves on offering real quality at great value, we look forward to welcoming you.

TIME TO GET a round IN! at one of our great bars Feeling Thirsty? If you fancy a pre or post meal drink, Southport has some great bars and pubs. There are speciality bars serving gin or rum, bars serving cocktails or beers from across the world and cosy traditional pubs serving a range of fine cask ales. Remedy is an independent coffee house and gin bar and is a great place for relaxing and meeting up with friends. Enjoy incredible coffee, loose leaf tea or sample over 40 specially selected gins and 45 fine malt whiskies and bourbons. Peaky Blinders ‘BeerMongers’ is a must visit venue at the north end of Lord Street. Its 1920’s theme extends to period wallpaper and lighting, plus sculpted Victorian pillars. With 15 draught beers and a large bottle selection don’t expect to see all the ‘usual’ brands, but instead discover new delights carefully selected for you. Add to this Le Grog rum and cider bar as well as traditional real ale pubs like The Guest House (it’s been said a time-travelling Victorian would not feel out of place here with its tap room and snug) and you can see why Southport is a great place for an evening out.
