Lymewood Farm - Farmhouse Inns in St. Helens

Love the carvery. Friendly chef serving meat. Was very busy and he kept smiling and cheerful.Was looking for broccoli or another green veg as I'd already by passed the leeks!!! Only gripe. 2 of party had starters. 2/3 had ordered carvery but the main course was brought straight after starter, which was impressive considering how busy it was, b ut as we couldn't leave the adult with add needs alone it meant we are in stages. I was going to ask how long a wait for mains after starter , just didn't get chance!

This is my favourite Farmhouse Inn, always a great reception from the front of house staff. We just love Mirelle and Raphael on the carvery too.

Grill not working for 3 days so reduced menu leading to selling out of remaining menu, carvery tough and overcooked, toilets filthy with broken hand dryer. Just not a very good experience.

Went here and never want to go again! Ate carvery here yesterday and woke up this morning throwing up wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who want's to eat out.

Good food, good price. Come here every few weeks. Carvery is fantastic.

Food was very nice, had the mixed grill with cheesy garlic bread as the starter. It was a Sunday and was very busy but the food came out fairly quickly and tasted alright, was nothing out of this world though. Would recommend

Don’t come to this restaurant, it’s disappointing and the staff are rude , dirty cutlery, poor staff , management are shocking. Not worth the bother, it’s a perfect example we’re not to eat in Haydock . The worst place I’ve eaten for a long time , disgusting .

Whoever made this order needs a major raise because it was absolutely perfect I love you xx

Fantastic breakfasts friendly staff

Me an 2 friends go every week an its always a pleasure good food good company ,staff absolutely lovely nothing to much trouble would recommend to everyone .

September 2024 we Had the main menu lovely food Saturday evening Kim was efficient friendly and attentive to all our needs as she always is as we're all the staff who are run off their feet they work tirelessly all evening they really need extra staff to help out for sure come on Greene king

Have been here many times customer service is amazing staff go above and beyond to help you craig and kim so helpfull and nice gill is great with customers and kids bailey brandon jade jamie james danny nathan sienna ellie all so helpfull and nice all make you feel welcome

Carvery was really good, lots of choice. Spencer the chef was friendly and gave us 2 yorkshire puddings each! Would come back!

ignored our request for what we wanted on the carvery. Food arrived late and was freezing cold when it did eventually arrived.

The food here is absolutely delicious, staff were very friendly and helpful. The cake selection is fantastic and there is a kids area inside the pub. I would definitely recommend this pub to anyone.

Went for a lovely carvery Jade took our order such a lovely bubbly girl always smiling and very helpful and served by lewis for the carvery lovely young lad smiling both a good asset to the team

A Meal missing, food that did arrive was good

Nice Sunday carvery at good price

30 minutes late, came fairly cold and we ordered 3 meals, only 2 came! Usually great service from here, today really not.

Honestly as a food critic this is very poor . From hero to zero within 12 months can now tell its greenking owned. Most half cooked veg terrible selection will never return. Even deserts gone down pan. This place used to be magical the food was unreal variety of gravy cajun roast potatoes PEAS not this mess. An something as simple as opening a tab wasted 40 mins trying to sort out an had them telling us to get off table next booking was there b4 they even bothered to serve deserts SHOCKING

Had a carvery the roast potatoes where hard normally spot on the other times I've been in going to give it another go will update my review

Was annoyed when I got there and found people that had booked a table queuing out of the door... however when it was explained to me that the booking system had played up I fully understood the difficulties that staff had faced...less than 10 minutes later we where at our table and I observed the staff working very hard to get things back on track. Basically, you can't beat Lymewood Farm for a good Sunday roast!

Eat in or take out carvary good value for money nice Sunday lunch very pleasing staff good all round

Found a stone / pebble in my dinner

Missing items for the second time! Missing salad and corn on the cob!

did not read order notes cover in food we asked not TO BE on them went in the bin disappointed yet again PLEASE READ ORDER NOTES THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE FOR not the 1st time this has happened plus the meat portions are diabólical tiny thin slither of each is not what we pay for

I was served by Lewis today on the carvery. He is always so nice and polite every time I go in there. Keep up the good work Lewis!

order a few times and most times spot in. however what I asked for in comments wasn't acknowledged. why have a comment box if your not gonna give what the customer wants

This place use to be a firm favourite for a good carvery. Went today after not bring for over a year and the change in standard is veey recognisable. Cold soggy roasts, dry yorkies and limp flavourless veg. Also only 4 vegetables to chose from. Such a shame as now it's just an average carvery place.

Chef Spencer is truly a wizard in the carvery world. His skills are unmatched, and it shows in every slice he serves. The meats were perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful, showcasing his mastery over the craft. Each dish was accompanied by a generous selection of sides, all prepared with the same level of care and attention to detail.

Spencer served us at the carvery very pleasant young man

Cold food. Burnt chicken. Pie with very little filling.

We ordered a takeaway , Sunday lunch the only nice things on the plate was the meats and the Yorkshire pudding it cost £25 for 2 of us , the veg was tasteless the roast potatoes hard , even the dogs wouldn’t eat it , disgusting food and price AVOID

Missed a kids meal from my order, no option on just eat to inform the restaurant so I phoned direct, I left a message on the answer machine, they’ve still not returned my call, it’s not the cost that is the issue, it’s the inconvenience, I understand mistakes can happen, but there should be measures in please to resolve any issues that occur. I resolved myself by sharing the other meals, but you would hope customer satisfaction would be considered, No I wouldn’t recommend.

The food was lovely, really enjoyed it, will be going again soon.

Excellent Carvery and service as always 👍

Had a carvery, all was well except roast potatoes which were frozen and reheated,or at least I presume they were they tasted awful, I cook roasties often,and these where definitely not freshly cooked,my experience was that bad I will not be eating here again.

The staff were lovely and enjoyed the breakfast! Nice cosy place 😊

The smallest serving of meat ive ever seen not even a mouthful. Cold and beetroot covered veg. Horrible

Chips was cold and undercooked. No salad or coleslaw when it’s come with it when previously ordered the same meal

I had to que up to get a seat. Then the manager seen me and instead of getting me a seat walked away 7 minutes later he came and offered me a seat. I ordered a roast dinner (bad idea). For a man who loves a good roaster being in England I thought the yorkie puds would be fantastic but no was burnt. I ask how the heck can you screw up a yorkie pud?. The sausage was worse than an ikea hot dog. And the roasters had a thick crust around them. I'm shocked at how bad the food was. To wash this down I had a pint of guiness that tasted so watered down I would have been better off going to the river Thames and drinking out of a can under water. Will not be back I'm afraid. Having been an avid fan of the dyce farm in Aberdeen I have to say this place is not worth a visit!

Loved the carvery today. Even better cake aways..

Very good food, excellent service a big thank you to Gemma, Megan, Ellie, Callum. Can not forget the Chefs Jimmy, Ralph, Corey and Becky for the very good cakes.

Was visiting family in the area , we called for a carvery , greeted by friendly , down to earth staff very patient wiyh our large drink order , the carvery was amazing , good old fashioned food (likr gran used to make) and VERY good value for the price , had a couple of toddlers with us who really enjoyed of the best play area iv seen in pub for a long time , all in all a fantasic couple of hours was had by all , thank you , we will deffinatley be back .

Disgrace pub virtually empty waited 2 hours in total for meal and dessert .complained to manager pointless just not interested

Fantastic food at very reasonable price. Need to book as gets busy. All the staff were very helpful and friendly but Jack stood out. Definitely recommend a visit.

Stopped off here as had to charge my vehicle. Stopped in for lunch, which was decent. Most of the staff were great. A couple were too busy chatting and walked into me. No apology given which isn't acceptable. Didn't say anything as just wanted my lunch/dinner and away.

Decent chain pub that's more oriented towards food and the family market. Service was fairly slow butthe venue was decently busy. Food was served quite quickly and was exactly as described and expected.

portion size is shocking. 3 meat order and I got a sliver. of beef and one small slice of turkey

Bought 2 meals for delivery, the quality of the food was abysmal, the turkey I ordered seemed to be the scraps that were left on the carving board. This is the 2nd time I have ordered a takeaway from Lymewood farm but in future I will go back to Toby Carvery.

Me and my family are just coming back from Lymewood and we are all furious we have been there about an hour and half and it took nearly an hour just to get two plates . And my mum went to get her food and the queue was outside the door and people was ordering online and getting there food before everyone the staff are all going into the back and coming back out ten minutes later it's ridiculous I would not recommend going

Was ok but not a a great selection of veg, just potatoes. Not a great amount of meat either!

Absolutely shocking! 1, just 1 dry piece of beef and the normal veg. No variety in veg. The lack of meat though is so diabolical though! Just 1! Will be ordering from Toby Carvery next time. At least there you get more meat at variation in veg!

Never tasted anything as disgusting in all my life and I am guessing it was a joke that I paid for three meats and had 1 strip of beef n half a strip of gammon. My advice to anyone would be do not order from there.

The carvery is really nice, easily 4 stars. But today we went for menu meals. Chips had eyes and were overcooked so the outside was transparent with grease. Cheeseburger not much nicer than a street vendor, naan bread on chicken tikka masala was hard and chewy. I will only ever be going back for their carvery.

Solid pub, nice food, good service and pleasant atmosphere. It gets busy here most nights so it's a good idea to book. Their Cake-Aways are very good but they often run out of the better cakes quite quickly. Overall, I'd say give it a go.

Love you lymewood farm. Pls stop forgetting my coke tho

Decent food, husband loved the carvery. Very impressed with the baby station, there was a microwave to heat up food etc, friendly and accommodating staff.

Usually really good but had a bit of trouble when we ordered through Just Eat tonight - not the restaurant’s fault !

Service was poor, attitude of staff was like they were being inconvenienced when we asked for to missing meals . Poor . Food was OK nothing special.

Good food but big wait. Very busy.

Half the things were missing from one of the dinners

The food is always great but it’s 50/50 if you’ll get extras you’ve ordered like the drinks

Had a fabulous time. Food and atmosphere was amazing but the special part was the service and attention we got from our waitress Gill and for that reason we will be returning. Food and atmosphere 8/10 Gill 10/10 🤩

Lovely place to dine with family and friends. Gill served us and she was so lovely and friendly with the kids :)

Jill was a great host, lots of fun 😁

Gill was brilliant and very attentive during our visit.

not as good as it used to be the fish supper had sausage, scampi bread and butter this didn't even have any sauces .

Carvery not as nice to what it use to be. Was also disappointed in the cakeaway, 3 of us had lemon cheesecake, was very plain and sickly. Don't think we will be returning.

I was recommend to have a carvery from Lyme Wood Farm. I decided to have a extra large plate to have more meat as I was told when paying you receive more meat, but I was served the thinnest pieces of meat you have ever seen and roast potatoes that were good the day before, please stay at home and cook for your self don't waist your time, they have a good sweet choice. Good luck

Food was cold and burnt and hardly any meat

Ok not the best tide dacor too needs a update n a park

lovely place, fast service and kind friendly staff. tasty carvery everything tastes fresh. cakes were amazing

Great food Great drinks Great prices Great

This is the only the second time we have been here but it will not be the last. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is absolutely delicious and great portions. Also the place is spotless.

No carrots&turnips roast potatoes not done no peas no Air conditioner on and too dear not be coming again in a hurry it as gone down the nick. Thank you

Food and table staff were great. Was soured a little by the manager having the hump that we used our Blue Light Card through the Greene King app and got a 15% discount. Something he needs to take up with Greene King and not with the customer in front of everyone 😒

£6 a pint. Utterly disgraceful. Cheaper in London

Typical of this type of chain of restaurants, good basic food and a decent carvery which is what we go for. But as is usual with any carvery the food is never very hot because it’s on display under heat lamps.

Food was fine. Would have been a better experience and review, but I ordered 2 ultimate diet cokes, one with ice and without ice. The picture was what we received. When I questioned why I'd received half a glass of diet coke I was told it was because of the ice and it wouldn't be filled up. I've just never known this be the case in any other restaurant.

Very friendly greeting in our way in. Easy to order and the carvery was great. We will be going back.

Always get a good service and the carvery is always fresh never been disappointed

Served by James and Brandon was the floor cleaning these 2 members of staff are a credit to your team fantastic customer service esp Brandon food as always amazing thanks

After being told place was amazing was really disappointed food wasn’t good and had better elsewhere

was all good till we ordered ice creams waited 1 hour for them to come food only took 30 mins. kind of ruined are meal tbh

Often go here for a carvery lunch. Lots of pub grub on main menu. Also do Breakfasts & takeaways. I'm able to use my BLUE LIGHT DISCOUNT CODE HERE. Choice of 3 meats (Ham, Turkey and Beef), yorky pud, lots of vegs, sauces, gravy. Great desserts/cakes if you have room. Or Cake away! Usually not too crowded. Order at till or on appany special requests catered for. I always ask to sit in the booths. and queue at carvery. Large car park.

In absolute love with the carvery got a large and it was everything so sad I couldn’t finish my last Yorkshire 💔 wanted to try the cake to they look mouth-wateringly delicious however I’m that full I’m ready to be wheeeled out of the entrance instead of walking money well spent

Feels like a little better customer service implemented now ... thats a good thing. The food was not bad today !!!

Come here for the cakeaway so gutted they do the funfetti cake anymore that was my fave. But other cakes are just as nice

The fries were horrible, but the rest of the food was acceptable and the atmosphere is pleasant.

Clearly can't handle when it gets busy. Had a kids disco on which is great for kids yet waited 50 mins for the food which was missing items. Said the missing items would be coming in the next 10 mins 25 mins later still never arrived. Just gave up waiting. Asked server about it just went to ask then never come back. Shame this used to be a perfect place. The meat cutting aswell is beyond joke. 3 tiny cuts off meat from huge joints of meat. Which looked fresh so why hold so much back at 7pm? Why make fresh Yorkshire puds and make them so big there uneatable. Won't be returning sadly.

Stop by whe charging the car. The carvery was faultless.

asked for just mash and no boiled potatoes,didn't mention veg situation and arrived with none.. got no veg at all, disappointed!. lesson learned

The food was cold. The potatoes was very hard and the veg you couldn't eat it the only good part was 3 very small pieces of meat. I would never order from them again. A lot of money for food that should have been put in the bin.

Good reasonable priced food. Friendly service

Only got a takeaway from here but the meat was burnt which was a real shame as the rest was tasty. Just spoilt the meal and won't be rushing back for a takeaway from there.

Rude and unfriendly staff. Utterly disgraceful.

The food used to be really nice especially in the carvery but now they have removed done of the vegetables and the crispy season roasted potatoes that used to be the best from there.

Unknown fish, swimming in grease in the box. Lukewarm when it arrived.

Ordered 3 childs meals for delivery paid for 2 pigs in blankets recieved 1 asked for no stuffing 2 meals full of stuffing only 2 small half full pots of gravy nowere near enough pigs in blankets had no bacon round and the meals were cold nevervorder for delivery again
