Gut buster Sunday roast - Edit
The pub itself has seen better days and is in need of a lick of paint. That said the staff were friendly and the portion size was HUGE. We went for a Sunday roast and I've got to say it was amazing. Chickn & mushroom pie, stuffing, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, garden pies, red cabbage and practically half a cauliflower each came covered in gravy. All for £10. Probably only one of a few times I have had to leave some food on a plate uneaten. Can't recommend the Sunday roast enough.

Decent, small and lively - Edit
Went on Thursday jazz evening and ordered the Vietnamese street fries, not bad overall.
Read morePretty busy atmosphere with the live music, loud and not much space but can feel cosy if you like that vibe.
The food was decent, good size portions, not many low fat options though.
They also have board games which is a plus.

Great vegan roast dinner - Edit
A very enjoyable experience at the Caledonia where I ordered the vegan roast. All in all it was very enjoyable! The main part of the roast was the toad in the hole which unfortunately lacked sausage as I only had a small piece and the rest was batter. But other than that it was great, the veg and potatoes were the stars of the show for me. One thing I would also say is that I feel like the staff weren’t completely welcoming unfortunately and was left feeling a little uncomfortable - maybe it was because there were 3 of us and we were the only ones in there about 2 pm on the Sunday. The other people on my table thought the same too. The irish trad music started at 3pm and that was a very enjoyable experience !! Lovely to see a fully vegan pub in Liverpool!

Excellent Pub Grub - Edit
A great looking menu, backed up with a superb burger. The chips may look a bit pale in the picture but they were crispy and fluffy. A genuinely good pub too. Lovely spot

The ckn wings are amazing!! - Edit
So I ordered the ckn wings (with the gravy!) garlic loaded fries and a ckn burger. In most delivery places the portion sizes are not normally big, but the Caledonia really made an effort to provide a great hearty delicious meal! Would definitely recommend. #Veganuary

Vegan pub - Edit
The Caledonia went fully vegan in September 2017. Staff are lovely and a HappyCow sticker is now up on the front door! The burgers are great. Extensive menu plus lots of gluten free options which is always brilliant to see. Dog friendly!

No idea why it’s loved by so many - Edit
I always feel bad giving vegan food places bad reviews because we need more of them! But this place has only a 3 star food hygiene rating (which is ridiculous in today’s standards it’s not difficult to have proper 5* food hygiene) and it’s very apparent inside to the point where I checked the rating whilst waiting for my food. The building itself is cold, the tables were sticky and chairs uncomfortable, we had to wait a while as well for food which just didn’t taste that great to be honest. The employees were nice and friendly but it’s just not the cosy warm vibes with great food I was expecting.
Read morePros: Friendly staff, It’s vegan , Reasonably priced
Cons: Not clean, Cold, Not the best tasting

Decent food, big portions - Edit
Visited Saturday lunchtime, was quiet just us and other couple there. Really friendly staff. Food was really tasty, seitan bit on the hard side but that was fine with me. Decent size portions for decent price, £53 for food and drinks for three. Liked the quirky decor, a bit shabby in places but that adds to its charm. There's book's and board games available. We'll definitely go again

Needs work - Edit
Food was just a bit .. eh. Ordered x2 types of wings (bbq and hot) which were fine but not a lot of flavour. Chip butty was absolutely drenched in butter which was just a bit too sickly. Crispy beef and salt and pepper chips were good.
Read moreFood was a long wait but they warned us in advance so this wasn’t an issue; however it was SO cold inside the building that the wait felt even longer. Everyone in the pub kept their coat on and it just didn’t make for a great experience sadly.

Really really bad food - Edit
The food was served cold. The seitan bricks were extremely chewy and were in every dish we had ordered.
Read moreSourdough bread on the menu is just a plain piece of cheap white bread.
You simply cannot serve food like this to your customers.
Reading the other reviews makes me wonder if we were just very unlucky. But this was the worst food I've had me served in years.
We mentioned the cold fries, that was taken off the bill. Guy was friendly.
Also, there was a fun band playing while we were there.
Will give one extra star for these things.
The food alone deserved no stars at all.
Pros: Staff, Live music venue
Cons: Food was really really bad, Shabby interior

Good portions, tasty burgers - Edit
The seitan chicken is a little chewy and my husband isn't as much of a fan, but I think it makes for some really good wings. I also like the 'beef' burgers, and the portions sizes! The gender neutral toilets are also a big plus. Some good music sometimes, too!
Read morePros: Range, Gender neutral toilets, Portion sizes

Plant-based pub - all respect for that. I had the cheese & bacon burger. It’s a little shabby but very popular & they have an interesting selection of draft larger and ales.

Great food, though half of menu wasn't available - Edit
Went early afternoon on a Saturday, really looking forward to vegan cheesecake. Sadly, the only dessert on offer was ice cream, so we stuck to savoury food. Around half the menu was off. I settled for BBQ seitan wings, plus onion rings. my partner had burger and chips. Can't fault the food - full of flavour. Nice beer and friendly service. Like the gender-neutral toilets, too.
Read moreI felt that 5 x sticky chunks of seitan wasn't a balanced meal though - I would have prefered 4 plus a side salad and mayo. I fed this back to them and they were friendly about it. I'd go back. Would have given 5 stars if the menu options hadn't been so limited on our visit.

Wonderful place. The food was f*cking delicious and just what I wanted and had expected, I only wish I could have had more! I was only there yesterday but f*cking me back already, baybeeee!
Read moreThe overall vibe was just what I look for too. Music wasn't too loud, relaxed atmosphere, good service. Incredibly friendly and welcoming staff, had a lovely chat about food and dogs!
This was my first time in Liverpool and I will absolutely come back just for this. If you are a local then you need to go give it your custom!
Hell yeah.
