During our annual friends and family gathering in Southport, we decided to celebrate a member of our party turning 80 with afternoon tea at The Nostalgic. We made a reservation in advance and were thrilled with our choice. Despite it being Christmas time, the staff went above and beyond by decorating the serving platter with a birthday message in chocolate and putting up birthday banners. The afternoon tea was delicious and a great value for the money. To top it off, they even surprised us with some warm chips at no extra charge due to the cold weather. The service was outstanding, with friendly and efficient staff who made the birthday girl feel truly special. Comparing our experience to a...
Whenever we come across a new restaurant, we like to browse their menus online through their website. In December 2023, we were surprised to see that the restaurant was still promoting the "Eat Out to Help Out" initiative from August 2020 on their website. It gave us the impression that the restaurant was outdated and lacked motivation. The food was decent and the service was above average, but it felt like the restaurant was struggling to stay afloat. The management often responds to TripAdvisor reviews, so it will be interesting to see their explanation for the outdated promotion on their website.
Booked afternoon tea for two and it was delicious. I always think there is never enough savoury food so was pleased to see a portion of chips and a bite size vegetable lasagne included along with the usual sandwiches. Plenty of different cakes (bakewell tart, swiss roll, brownie topped with strawberry dipped in chocolate etc and a lovely scone served with butter, jam and cream. All very fresh and tasty. Hopefully it won't be too long before we go again.

The tearooms are absolutely stunning, and I had a wonderful Sunday Roast that was cooked perfectly. The staff were incredibly professional and attentive. I brought my 3-year-old with me, and it was heartwarming to see how the staff interacted with her - she had a great time. Keep up the fantastic work, and we will definitely be returning soon.
It was a spookey welcome this morning to Nostalgia with the goules and ghosts who greet you as the restaurant is set up for Halloween. They even have a Halloween tree. The food was exceptional with quality products and I couldn't fault it. There is lots to look at and if you look forward to Halloween this is a must try restaurant.
Food plentiful, excellent quality, staff attentive great experience all round, the venue itself is like stepping back into time, love the dresses that are worn, it’s upstairs and downstairs era, Fab! Nostalgia is the right name for these tea rooms
Absolutely gorgeous Christmas lunch , massive portion size all home cooked . Could not recommend anywhere else for a lovely Christmas meal , staff very helpful really impressed and will definitely be going back..

We had lunch today at this lovely tea room. Great service and a lovely lunch of prawn sandwiches, fruit scones with clotted cream and jam and a cup of coffee. Will definitely return next time we are in Southport.
Not as great as people said. Some friendly staff. Bit tired looking and not disabled friendly as upstairs. Not cheap for what you get.
