Three Stags, Bebingtonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Visited again back in May. Had a pint of Florida Black by Black Wolf at £2.45. I noted two banks of pumps - the bank of 5 had 4 on and were all reasonably unusual ones by Adnams, Siren, etc. The other bank had 2 of 3 pumps on and had the Ember Ale and Brakspear. Polite and quick service.

Visited recently. 9 pumps at the bar plus 2 round the corner which were presumably duplicates. All of the 9 were available - it has the potential for one to be spoilt for choice! A chalk board listed some of the ales but not all of them, so had to have a good nosey at the pump clips.
One was Old Rosie Cider, there was also Ember Inn Ale (by Black Sheep), Tim Taylor Landlord, Hobgoblin, Bombardier(?), Thwaites Original, Doom Bar, Tyneside Blonde, and something else unusual, a pale ale I think. By the time you have eliminated the cider and the "standard" offerings, that left two to choose from, and the Tyneside Blonde did it for me. 3.9% and £3.30 for the pint.
Definitely has a selection of ales, but a shame so many are national brands but still pretty good going for a food focussed place.
It is a large pub with separate areas for dining. Typical pleasant Ember Inn décor.
I was offered a choice of straight or handled glass, which always pleases me. The Tyneside Blonde was very pleasant and I would recommend it.

Went past at the weekend and noticed that as part of the recent refurbishment Ember Inns has painted the outside of the pub a peculiar light green.
The colour resembles that of a dried cow pat. Not an attractive look.

Closed for a major refurb.

Microwaves work really well as long as it's not a Tuesday or Thursday when you can expect an hour wait for your pre-packed ready meal. Beer garden in summer prob the best in north west. Don't expect to be served in a hurry thou.

Still absolutely buzzing on a Friday!

A large landmark pub on a well known crossroads. Pleasant looking building with plenty of parking. Inside it is open plan & very much a gastro pub, but designed for drinkers too. It reminded me of a large, classy hotel lobby with plenty of seating options. Very clean, modern & tasteful decor. Throughout the course of our stay we sat at a standard table & chairs, a corner table by the window, & then to an intimate horseshoe booth. Funny moment (although I shouldn't laugh), an old lady got lost in the labryinth & a member of staff had to be called.
Anyway to the important stuff. 7 handpumps (rotating & imaginative). 5 available on our visit. They offer "tasters" at �1.89 for 3 x third pints. All were well kept & the staff were very obliging. Excellent value, my favourite was Hawkshead Brewery- "Lakeland Gold". Wine (partner was well impressed), cider & cocktail menu as well as hot drinks mean that everyone is catered for. One of the finest pubs in Wirral.
Food was great value & imaginative. Service friendly & speedy
This is an Ember Inns pub, & as soon as you walk in there is a chalkboard with their "Cask Fresh" policy which includes "try before you buy" & they also encourage for your opinions!!! Yes, A Pubco that listens!!!!!
