We tried Wirral's first dessert drive in 'Crush' and were blown away

Dessert lovers can enjoy waffles, brownies and more from the comfort of their car at a drive-in dessert shop in Wirral.

Crush in Heswall opened in August 2021 after owners Natasha and Sophie spotted a gap in the market due to Wirral not having a dessert drive-in.

Customers park up outside then go into the shop and order from the extensive menu of sweet treats and drinks.

You then return to your vehicle and are served the desserts on a huge table that lies across the width of the car from window to window.

We each chose a dessert and a Bubble Tea - a cold drink that contains small popping juice balls that burst in your mouth.

Here’s what we ordered and our thoughts on the sweet treats.

Waffle Pops and Strawberry Bubble Tea

I found it very hard to select a dessert from the menu due to the amazing choice of sweet treats.

In the end I chose the Waffle Pops (£6.49) with Lotus biscuit pieces, Biscoff sauce and white chocolate sauce.

The three warm, soft Waffle Pops were delicious and the Biscoff and white chocolate sauce complimented each other nicely.

I found it a slight struggle to finish all of the dessert due to the large portion size, but I didn't accept defeat and devoured the whole lot!

For my drink, I opted for a Strawberry Bubble Tea with strawberry juice balls (£4.99). It was the first time I'd tried bubble tea and I was very impressed. It was super refreshing and went well with the Waffle Pops.

The juice balls that sit at the bottom of the drink were like nothing I've experienced before in a drink. The small balls pop in your mouth revealing the flavoured juice which was very tasty, but I couldn't quite finish them all.

Special Brownie and Raspberry Bubble Tea

I was blown away with the sheer choice of scrumptious desserts on the Crush menu, but I had to go for the most chocolatey of them all being the chocoholic that I am.

The Special Brownie (£6.49) was a moreish combination of cookie dough, mini Oreo's and a layer of brownie (and is also known as the 'Slutty Brownie' on Just Eat.)

What's even better is that I got to choose a chocolate bar of choice to go on top, as well as a sauce!

I went for the Kinder Bueno and the Bueno white chocolate sauce which was a total dream, and really complemented the freshness of the dessert.

The first thing I noticed about my Special Brownie was the gooeyness, it was made fresh and was still warm, which really impressed me.

Often when going out for dessert, you'll find it's not fresh at all, it can lack favour and be pretty hard to chew, but not at Crush Heswall.

Granted, the portion was pretty big, but It was so delicious that I didn't want it to end, it was a real treat for me and my sweet tooth.

To drink, I opted for the Raspberry Bubble Tea with passion fruit balls (£4.99), which was exciting as I'd never had a bubble tea before.
It was super refreshing and went really well with my dessert, and the passion fruit balls added some extra pizzazz to the drink (not that it needed it.)

Overall, Crush is a fun and quirky concept with delicious sweet treats. It's a bit on the pricey side, but considering the size of the portions, tastiness of the desserts and the fact it's the only Wirral dessert drive-in, we think it's worth it.

Crush is at 9 Village Rd, Heswall, Wirral, CH60 0DX. You can order online for delivery or collection here.
