Colours Restaurant in St. Helens

The restaurant is the best restaurant in St Helens . The service is perfect the food is delicious

My wife and I have over the years dined at Colours many times, and, have always enjoyed excellent food and service.

Food was excellent. Presentation first class. The service provided by the young people was exceptional. Lovely surroundings and atmosphere

Excellent value for money. We will be visiting again in the near future.

Quality food, good selection, service, spot on and the price is very affordable

We had a lovely meal for my husbands birthday , last night. Food, service and price we're all excellent, highly recommend.

Another excellent meal at this restaurant. All cooked and served by students on the catering course. Superb value for money please support these student you won't be disappointed. Would highly recommend

The food is amazing and the service is outstanding. Will definitely be coming back

Tried Colours for the first time last night, we were very impressed from start to finish, very attentive staff, superb food, lovely settings and incredible value, will absolutely be back, also a lovely touch at the end when the young chef came out and introduced himself to every table.

Highly recommended for a well priced lunch and a very good range of dishes. Proper restaurant cooked food. Good options for all three courses, well presented, and excellent service from professional and trainee staff. Our waiter, Jonathan, was very attentive but not at all imposing. We will be back!

Just had a lovely meal at Colours, the staff were amazing, considering they are students the service and food was impeccable, would highly recommend a visit.

Lovely meal with friends on a Friday. Lunch. Nothing was rushed and it was not too busy. The meals were delivered very quickly after ordering. One small mistake in the starters was soon rectified. The cost of three courses and coffee at £13 was good value. Would certainly go again even as a couple and would recommend giving it a try if you haven't done already.

Great food and great service. From The moment we got in until we left we felt really well looked after.

Lovely meal excellent service. Surprised it was not packed liked past Christmases. Perhaps more support St Helens community. Thank you Colours team Alison and Andy 👍

Hidden gem, serving quality food, fantastic to see the students learning their roles in a restaurant setting, food was delicious and the atmosphere was lovely and relaxed, we felt very spoilt and well looked after and will definitely be back.

Colours restaurant is an excellent place to eat the food is prepared by the student’s , excellent food and fantastic customer service friendly and professional the food is of exceptional value and plentiful and is value for money. I will return

Absolutely fantastic experience, the food was outstanding and the service given was amazing. Thankyou so much for your wonderful food! You are an asset to St Helens.

Good food, moderately priced, good to see the students fulfilling their coursework promise.

Not great, chicken was dry and had no flavour. Small portion sizes. Service was sub standard.

Best food in St Helens, it might be a limited menu but it is very good value. The presentation of the food really shows of the quality. The opening times are limited but it is worthwhile making the effort.

Reasonably priced. Lovely staff. Easy access for wheelchair users

Ham hock & vegetables were really nice, but very salty. Sticky toffee pudding & toffee sauce was ok. Service was good, only our party of 30 in there on a Thursday night, otherwise it would have been empty with no atmosphere. Place was spotlessly clean. Not enough choice for me with only 4 main meals available, maybe increase this to 6. Personally I struggled for choice as I only tried the ham hock as a last resort.

We have visited this restaurant several times over the years and from the first time we went we have always thought of it as a ‘special’ place. With white linen tablecloths and silver service cutlery it was like eating at a fine dining establishment but without the fine dining prices. We booked a table for 6.30, when we arrived we were the only two diners in there, there is no longer white linen table cloths, just bare brown formica topped tables, so not as grand looking as it used to be but that wasn’t the problem. It was freezing cold inside with no heating on although the ceiling had lots of air con grills. The menu was worded in quite fancy terms and we felt like we were in for a treat, the grilled cod with fricassee peas sounded good so I thought I would give that a try, when it arrived it turned out to be the smallest piece of cod imaginable, very thin and about the thickness and size of say four fifty pence coins swimming on a bed of peas in a cream sauce. The quality of the food was okay but nothing special, and imagine sitting in a restaurant and eating with your overcoat on because its too cold to take it off, not our idea of a comfortable or pleasant environment. No one came to the table to ask us if everything was okay, when we went to pay it was mentioned that it was freezing cold in there, the server apologised and informed us that the air conditioning had not been working for two years and that St Helens college who the restaurant belongs to have refused to have it fixed. Sorry to say that the place has declined over the years and unfortunately we won’t be going there again which is such a shame as it was once an excellent place to eat and had a posh (but not stuffy) atmosphere which is sadly no longer the case.

Thanks you so much 7 colors Restaurant and miss Aachal mam is very polite food also very best We are happieeeee with everything

Had Xmas lunch here yesterday as a group of 10, 4 courses for under £20/head and it was excellent. Staff are all from the college and were all very pleasant in learning their trade and all had a great smile on their faces which for youngsters these days is a rear commodity. You’ll not get a better meal or better service anywhere in St Helens for the price. Quality products used and all cooked fantastically well. See you again soon. Already booked in for same day next Xmas.

We had a really nice meal. The place was a little on the quiet side but it was still relaxing and the food was lovely. You can't complain for the prices and experience!

Visited this evening family of 4 the food was so nice Service was excellent . Food & drink great value Will definitely return Thank you all we had a lovely evening .

Brilliant food and excellent service, and all at a very good value for money

It's okay. They could do more for vegan and vegetarians though.

Excellent food all made from scratch love it

My son's review, as part of a school visit :" Lovely meal, very posh, chicken a bit chewy but very nice food. Nice staff"

This was a great meal, a decently wide choice of food, great quality of food, service was good, drinks reasonable and plentiful, and portion size more than acceptable. The only negative was that there was only 8 diners (inc us 6) in a capacity of 40 tables so lacked a bit of atmosphere.

Just had a lovely Thursday birthday lunch at Colours with my wife and 3yr old twins. £9 for two courses or £12 for three really is fantastic value. Staff couldn't do enough for us and food is always great. Thanks

Great food and great service. Highly recommended

We loved every minute from start to finish. Food was excellent and service was lovely. You will not go wrong visiting colours. Well done.

It was our first visit to Colours & we were pleasantly surprised at the high quality of the food. Although the menu choice is limited compared to some restaurants, it offered a varied selection. We enjoyed the 2 course menu (reasonably priced). All was presented beautifully & absolutely delicious with a great balance of flavours. We will definitely return.

Had vouchers from my sons for our sapphire wedding anniversary so we went it was amazing the food and the service was outstanding this was the first time since it had moved it use to be just round the corner so they hadn't moved far it's very nice inside and bigger

Lovely food can't wait to go back

Scrummy food, polite, efficient staff, excellent service. Pork terrine, followed by beef strogonoffy type dish and they were both absolutely gorgeous. Will definitely visit again.

Had lunch today, for the first time, (well dinner) had the 2 coarse £9 each what a loverly meal , starter would have done ne for a meal but I had the roast for main meal, fit for nothing now , staff and trainees where very nice, will visit again, shame only open wed till Friday during college days, well worth a visit,

We visited Colour's last night,we have visited many times before and always had a good meal.When we arrived we were shown to our table by the Manager.he seemed agitated,we asked him was the free glasses of wine on this evening as I thought it was,he told me he had written the offer,and it wasn't available on a Friday night.Our main issues are also on line the steak is Ribeye,in the restaurant it was rump, totally different.The rump took alot of chewing,my partner gave up and half went back.The roll of a Manager should be to create a convivial and relaxed atmosphere Which unfortunately on this occasion,was definitely not the case. The students did an absolutely great job,and we send all at Colours are good wishes.

been for lunch today.treated like royalty staff so pleasant and friendly.food great and prices. would certainly recamend .

Such a lovely place to eat. Friendly service and beautiful food. Will definitely be returning and recommend without hesitation.

Food quality excellent as ever, really good value dining, new intake of students understandably suffering from first night nerves, but Maitre d' Antonio holding it all together, professional to the end.

Delicious food always. Highly recommend.

Myself and my wife and daughter called in at lunch it was excellent,from the service to the food I called in to the restaurant to have some lunch as a treat with my family. We were treated to a 5 star two course meal and service the food was excellent and the young girl and boy was so professional and frendly. Our meal and experience was one of the best I have had for a long time .it is a must to try.......

I called in this restaurant for a afternoon treat with my wife and daughter I would like to thank Antonio and Barbara for a excellent meal the service and food was 5 star

We had a lovely meal in Colours. We hadn't been for a while but nothing had changed. The staff are very friendly and the food is delicious. I just wish they still had the Sunday lunches

Service second to none, food excellent.

I was passing through the North West and stumbled across this gem of an establishment in St Helens. We were greeted with a warm and professional manner and there was a great ambience around the restaurant. The food was impeccable and some great variety on the menu. One of our group was a vegan and this was totally accommodated by the team. Will be back next time we’re in town!

Good service, good food and nice ambience. The training students were very good, and it's great that they get to learn on the job. Nice vegetarian options, and good for meat eaters too!

Had our Christmas dinner and can honestly say that it was perfect absolutely delicious

My mum who is 84 and her friends save up all year to go for a Christmas meal. My mum and her friends were ill after the meal. The food was awful. The sprouts were very hard the potatoes were also solid. The soup had no taste. The meat was chewy. What a waste of their money. My mum was really sick after. Will not be going again or recommending it to anyone

Family Christmas meal - not good. Food just warm especially the soup turkey a little over cooked and Christmas pudding warm but brandy sauce cold.Ordered a Gin & tonic came in a half pint larger glass no ice or lemon slice not ideal.Feel standards have slipped a little

ok , a rare occasion. normally 5.

Great value, lovely food and attentive staff,

We had a lovely relaxing meal food was lovely and the staff were very friendly and welcoming and we weren’t rushed

Really good experience. Had a meal tonight for partners birthday and the young trainees are good but we could tell the difference to the 1st time we went in March this year. The academic year began a few weeks ago whereas it was 3/4 of the way through in March and the trainees were more experienced. Would definitely go again

I trust the food, the hygiene etc. Never had a bad experience. It’s a shame other local restaurants don’t have the same standards.

We had a lovely relaxed meal. The food was lovely and the service was friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much.

The restaurant itself is stylish and modern and spotlessly clean. The quality of the fine dining food is exceptional and very well presented. The restaurant offers a great wine list too - all at affordable prices. You’ll get a warm welcome from Antonio and the staff and students from St Helens college. Highly recommend a visit including for any special occasions to this little gem of a place.

Just returned from Colours restaurant after enjoying one of the best 3 course meals i've ever experienced. I can't believe that more people aren't taking advantage of the superb deals that are being offered by this very capable establishment. For a limited period, 3 course lunch with coffee and bottle of wine per table is unbelievable value for money at £9 per person!. Service was impeccable and food was plentiful and delicious. As a very discerning frequenter of restaurants, I can highly recommend Colours restaurant and have already booked my next meal here before it sadly closes for the summer.

thank you for an amazing night Antonio and his lovely staff, the starter was beautiful, I had goats cheese, my friends had mushroom soup and salmon all top standard. my main course was the best duck I have ever had and my friends was loving the lamb. dessert yummy toffee fudge cake and cheese and biscuits. all so good. thanks again. will definitely come again 😁😁😁🤩❤

Very good food with three or four choices. Very spacious restaurant with a relaxing atmosphere. The students are all learning their trade under the watchful eyes of excellent tutors. The students are very helpful and love to have feedback. We have eaten here many times and never ever been disappointed. Extensive wine list on offer.

My wife took me my birthday on Valentines day. We were not very impressed with the food and service. Nearly al of the food was spicy and and I do not do spicy food. Would not go again.

Colours restaurant is such a lovely place to dine. The staff are very attentive, great service and wonderful food. Highly recommend!

Food standards kept high prices reasonable, well worth a visit.

Never normally review restaurants but this place totally deserves a review and a good one at that! Took family for mother’s day - the food, the service, the ambience, the value - everything was perfect. Couldn’t fault it. We’ll be back without a doubt!

Excellent food and service really enjoyed

Went today for the first time an all I can say is “WOW” absolutley lovely tasty well cooked food and presentation was excellent 👌 the service was also fabulous very proffessional and very attentive it was an amazing fine dining experience 🍽.

Yet another visit to colours and once again we were well impressed.A couple of starters , soup of the day plus Crispy crab very nice. Moved on to mains , wife had Pork fillet with savoury farc , the pork was excellent, well cooked and very tasty but she was not that impressed with the savoury farc. I tried the pan fried chicken and onion & fennel bhaji with a mild spiced sauce, the chicken was excellent , very tasty and juicy the bhaji was quite spicy but was offset by the mild spiced sauce, one of the best chicken dishes I have had for a long time.

As always delicious and well presented meals. Excellent service and friendly staff.

Visited Colours with a party of friends last week. Food was very good and most importantly was hot, as was the plates. Nothing worse than cold plates when having a hot meal.The staff were very pleasant and efficient, obviously well trained. Tables nicely set up and a very pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant. Overall a very pleasant experience

Great food on the whole, especially when you consider the prices for the menus. Definitely worth booking.

Amazing food, lovely staff and a great price

Not a great choice but fabulous food and good value. Front of house staff worked really hard. Look forward to going again

Food amazing service very good and so affordable would definitely recommend x

Excellent as ever. Reasonably price for food that would be far more expensive elsewhere,while the students hone their craft.The arancini starter was a delight.

What a fantastic afternoon our family experienced today at this lovely restaurant run with training chefs and waiters.....certainly some bright stars for the future hospitality industry. Led by top professionals who guide and inspire the students to provide top class food and excellent service.

Just eaten at this restaurant and had a lovely evening. Fine dining in a relaxed environment. The food is sublime and the service excellent. Cannot recommend Colours enough, will be eating here again.

Second visit and really enjoyed it lovely food and great service will be back

Visited Saturday 12 Jan 19 - excellent food and service

I visited this restaurant for the first time as a guest at a family members 80th birthday meal. The food was very well prepared and the staff, although training, were very pleasant.

TRIPADVISOR..award of excellence 2018 winner..restaurant RUN n managed by catering students n staff of sthelenscollege..bravo..wonderful cuisine..English.. French.. Mediterranean..all affectionate smiles services..ALL PROCEEDS TO STUDENTS FUNDS..

A Great Christmas Lunch experience, catering for a party of 42 across 3 tables. Served with courtesy and no mistakes on orders. Food was hot and well prepared. We were not rushed. All left content and full-up!! We think we will book again for next Christmas, we were so impressed.

Absolutely beautiful Xmas Lunch on Friday.The food was as good if not better than some so called top notch restaurants. Service was spot on and as I have said previously you would not think they were students.Top marks to everyone for value, service, food, presentation and an all round great day.

Came here for a family celebration. Great Sunday lunch menu and excellent value for money. It is a training restaurant attached to the college but you would never guess. The service food and attention to detail are second to none.

WOW! Was extremely impressed by the service and high standards set by this restaurant. We were a party of 12 all the food was exquisite. I had the soup which was tomato and red pepper, main course chicken breast and amazing sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Excellent value for money, will not hesitate to return. Also thankyou to the young gentleman waiter who took pictures of our group for us at the end of the meal, shame I cant remeber his name.

Went for lunch with some work colleagues, warmly greeted on arrival and offered complimentary wine or soft drinks , seated by bar and given menus , ordered our meals shown to our table and introduced to our server.the food was excellent, service was brilliant and price even better. Will definitely be returning

I had a lovely Dinner here tonight with my Husband, we got a friendly warm welcome on arrival & a complimentary drink. The food was delicious & we where treated like royalty.

Top quality food at great prices first time I will be back.

Lovely meal, lovely staff nice cosy atmosphere

Four of us decided to go out for a Sunday lunch and have t9 say it was a great choice of venue -

As a group of 8 of us had come to visit Liverpool for a museum exhibition, and we were staying in the area, finding somewhere to eat early evening was tricky on a Saturday night, without previously booking.... but with TripAdvisor in hand, we thought we’d give colours a try.

Fabulous food at unbelievable prices

Fabulous Food 🥗 Great Service and Wonderful Atmosphere 😊 . If your looking for somewhere to eat in St Helens you could go to anywhere better.

Despite one of the staff accidentally spilling a glass of wine over our feet & floor while we were waiting for our table, no harm done, another great dining experience at what must be one of St Helens best restaurants. We just keep looking forward to the new college terms and new menus and once again we were not disappointed, not a extensive menu but more than enough to satisfy us and it makes for a easier selection process.

What can I say fantastic service fantastic food would defo recommend we will be back thank you so much

Colours is quite easily the best restaurant in St Helens. Excellent food and really great service every time.

Good food and brilliant service, staff very friendly
