Ego in Heswall celebrates tenth birthday

May 20 2009 by Lorna Hughes, Birkenhead News

ONE of Heswall’s best-loved restaurants is celebrating its tenth birthday.

Mediterranean restaurant Ego in Telegraph Road opened back in May 1999.

Regular guests were invited to a birthday part night and everyone eating at the restaurant between May 3 and 11 was offered a free glass of bubbly to celebrate the anniversary.

General manager Lisa Mower, who has been at the restaurant for the majority its successful first decade, said: “Ego always has an energetic buzz about it. Even in today’s climate we’re busy – with local people, businesses and families.

“There have been plenty of highlights over the past ten years, including our popular junior chef schools and healthy eating programmes for primary school children.”

The restaurant has twice been shortlisted for Wirral Chefs Shine.

Lisa added: “Our Saturday live music nights are a real draw and Sundays, in true Mediterranean style, are focused on the whole family.

“We recently introduced monthly theme nights on the first Wednesday of every month which focus on particular areas of the Mediterranean which are proving extremely popular.

“Ego has a wonderful holiday feel about it – a combination of laid back relaxation and freshly prepared food.

“One of our favourite words is “loveliness” and that’s what we’re all about here – lovely place, lovely food, lovely people, and lovely atmosphere.

“We aim to carry on being lovely for many years to come.”
