The gorgeous scenic venue people travel miles to eat at

Lakeside Bar & Grill offers an extensive menu of delicious food and drinks for customers who also want to enjoy the view.

The gorgeous venue sits on the outskirts of Prescot and has countless regular and loving customers despite its location. Those who've sampled what Lakeside has to offer, whether it's their Asian-inspired dishes, classic home favourites or specially crafted sandwiches, make it a point to return.

Hidden behind the lake in Kings Business Park, it's a small piece of paradise in an otherwise unnotable area. The expansive greenland, fauna and forest, along with the cool waters right on their doorstep, make for an Instagrammable haven that still delivers for those hungry customers.

Danielle Reid, the business' founder, told the Echo she's grateful for such a dedicated clientele who, without their continued support, wouldn't enjoy nearly half as much success.

She said: "We get people coming from the business park but our other customers are coming directly for us. We try to give people the best service we can which is why I think they always come back. It's a great place for social media but because it is out of the way, it's really nice to see familiar faces always coming back.

"We're massive on the community feeling and it's what we all love. It makes my job so much easier if we can build a personal relationship with customers which is what we do. We want to keep giving as much as we can. It's massively rewarding."

Danielle opened the venue in November with the help of her family, who already had their hands on the premises. With a background in hospitality, she dived straight into making Lakeside her own. She said: "I gave it a makeover to put my own spin on it. My family helped me set it up in terms of decor but at the time it was all grey and it felt cold. So my idea was to give it a feminei touch, and I wasn't on a massive budget either, but I had to warm it up."

Taking inspiration from the scenic location, she added: "I wanted the inside to feel as beautiful as the outside. Why not, it's stunning."

The positive reviews from customers over the past few months are enough to keep Danielle in the business for a long time coming. She said: "When people come and they see what we offer and they say how much they love it, it honestly means the world to me.

"I just wanted to make a place were people loved to be, to eat and drink, and when they tell me I've done that, yeah, it just feels amazing."
