Booking

Service & Table Timings

Breakfast is served from 9am, with last orders at 12pm. Lunch begins around 1pm (sometimes a little later at weekends if breakfast has been especially busy). We usually allow 1.5 hours per table so everyone can enjoy a relaxed visit.

Our Sunday roasts are taking a little break for the summer, but they’ll be back late October 2025. Join our mailing list to find out more.

Large Bookings

We’ve recently partnered with ResDiary for online bookings. Tables for up to 4 guests can be booked online. For groups of 5 or more, please call us on 0151 319 2366 or email bookings@thewateringcanliverpool.com with your details, and we’ll be happy to help.

If you’ve booked for 4 guests, but arrive with more – without confirming the guest numbers with us, we may not be able to seat you – so please do get in touch in advance.

Allergies & Intolerances

Your safety matters to us. While our team is fully trained and careful, we do work in an environment where all major allergens are present, and we can’t guarantee that food or drink will be completely allergen-free due to the small risk of cross-contamination or supplier changes. If you have a severe allergy, please consider this carefully before ordering.

You’ll find information about allergens on our website, our menus, our allergen book, and on a notice board in the restaurant.

When you order, our team will always ask if you have any allergies or intolerances. If you inform us, we’ll ask you to complete a short form, then notify our manager and kitchen team. You’ll also be shown the allergen book to help you make your choice. For audit purposes, your details (and what you ordered) are recorded for 14 days only.

Private Hire / Private Dining

For special events or private bookings, please email us at info@thewateringcanliverpool.com and we’ll be delighted to discuss your plans.

Accessibility

We are wheelchair-friendly and also accessible for those using walking aids. If you’ll be visiting with a wheelchair, please give us a quick call so we can make sure an accessible table is reserved for you.

Prams

We know dining out with little ones can be a challenge, and we’re happy to accommodate prams where possible.

For everyone’s safety and comfort, prams need to be kept in designated areas. Our team will happily help you find the best spot. We kindly ask that aisles and exits remain clear at all times.

We have three tables in the main room that can accommodate an uncollapsed pram. If these are taken, we may ask you to fold your pram or store it nearby. High chairs are also available.

Please note that prams are not permitted in the garden room (conservatory) or outdoor gazebo area. Thank you for your understanding in helping us keep the space safe and comfortable for all.

Dog Friendly

We love welcoming dogs (and other pets)! We just ask that your dog is kept on a short lead, paws remain on the floor, and pets aren’t fed inside the building. While we can’t provide water bowls indoors, there’s a free water point just outside by the ice cream kiosk.
