The Bridge Inn

Built in 1900, the Bridge Inn was originally a ‘temperance hotel’ that didn’t serve alcohol. This changed when William Lever put it to a vote and the village’s residents decided they wanted a place to enjoy an alcoholic drink. Today it is a popular Grade II listed pub and hotel, with a friendly restaurant specialising in steak and burgers. The Bridge Inn is managed by Greene King. To book and check opening times, go here.

Please note there is no longer a tea room at Port Sunlight Museum.
