Bootle Arms

Welcome to The Bootle Arms in Melling – a warm welcome awaits at our family-friendly pub, housed in a charming old sandstone building set in the heart of Melling, a picturesque village just eight miles north of Liverpool.

At our pub, every visit is a chance to relax, indulge, and enjoy quality time with the people who matter most. Whether you're popping in for a hearty meal, a refreshing drink, or a sunny afternoon our outdoor beer garden, we’ve got something for everyone.



Our food menu is packed with flavour – from our much-loved pub classics, to our hand-stretched stone baked pizzas, lighter bites, daily deals, and indulgent desserts. We cater to all tastes, with vegetarian options, world-inspired dishes, and a dedicated children’s menu to keep even the littlest diners happy.



Bring the whole family – kids can dive into the fun at Woodie’s Den, explore Woodie’s Sweet Factory, or burn off energy in our outdoor play area. Meanwhile, grown-ups can relax with a wide range of ales, beers, wines, spirits, and freshly brewed coffee.

Enjoy friendly service in our cosy indoor spaces or soak up the sunshine in our spacious beer garden and outdoor seating areas. Whether you're here for a family meal, a casual catch-up, or just a quick coffee, we’re here to make every visit feel special.



Come in, get comfortable, and make yourself at home. See you soon!
