Ken and I ate our first meal in Liverpool at The Privateer Inn. Before we even ordered, we asked our young waitress about a Privateer. She just laughed and told us that she knew nothing about being a privateer. But she did direct us to a lighthouse, where we could read all about being a privateer. So we did and now I will bore you with lots of information about the days of the Privateer in Liverpool.
The food was good all those years ago and is still good today, which is sometimes not the same. Susan Lane had just taken over the Inn when her father retired. She was young to be running that large place but she has done a good job. When we first dined there, the dining room was at the front of the building, which overlooked the street and a parking lot. Ken and I wondered why they were not using the back of the Inn for dining, because they overlook the Mersey River.
It took awhile but now the dining room is at the back, and there is an extensive patio area so you can dine outside overlooking the lawn and the river. But two years ago Susan sold the Inn. We were fearful that the new owner would change everything. But he has left it alone and is doing well. Today for lunch I enjoyed my meal of haddock cakes. My friend Heather ate a delicious haddock burger. We were both pleased to see the new owners doing well. We do like The Privateer Inn to be alive and well.
