We don't live in ormskirk, but try to eat here at least once a month. Never disappointed, all the food we've had, has been lovely. Service is spot on too. Excellent.

Old fashioned in a good way. Was very busy on the afternoon I popped in, but service was quick and professional. Loved my seafood platter, and other food coming out looked great too. I'll definitely be back.

WOW - honestly some of the best food I’ve tasted in a while. Everything was homemade and fresh.

We had afternoon tea here today. As always the food was fresh and delicious served by friendly, efficient staff. Excellent value for money too.

Great food. good price. good staff/service. nice friendly atmosphere. Great venue for party's If I'm in the area I would always call in

Went for afternoon tea with mum and sister. The waitress was quite snotty when my sister said she was celiac and she just pushed menu to her. Quite rudely. We asked for jug of water at beginning and got when we had all finished. Was not very helpful to my sister. Would not go again

Excellent food and service. Highly recommend. Best to book as it is so popular.

Today I joined a few friends in O'Brien's in Ormskirk, where I treated myself to the first Eggs Benedict I've had since before Christmas. And the thickness of their toast was astonishing (not to mention how delicious their poached eggs were). So I'll be doing that more often, I think. I read that the late Michael Mosley once said that a man should find a purpose in life during his Golden Years, or he'll fade away and die. So my purpose now is to get out more, be active, travel, and get back to my old happy extrovert self. Not easy for a grumpy old sod like me, but I'll give it my best shot. Photos by Priscilla, the very kind young lady who waited on me hand and foot and made me feel like it was my special day. God bless her.

Lovely food afternoon tea delicious.

The sasages were under cooked, they looked and tasted bad, the salad wasn’t fresh.

Exceptional, there was 32 of us for afternoon tea celebrations for 1st Holy Communion, finger food was stunning, cakes were sublime and id recommend the cheese and onion quiche, service excellent

Lovely place. Affordable menu with decent portions.

We called in for lunch. Tasty sandwiches and plenty of tea. My only gripe is PLASTIC table clothes. I hate them and made the place feel cheap, which it doesn’t deserve. Would certainly come again.

Stumbled across this and what a place. Gluten free menu 😋 had lasagne with salad and garlic bread. Absolutely delicious. Staff and service outstanding. Thank you.

Just had the best beef hot pot by a country mile.also home cooked chips. Big pot of tea. Heaven 💝. Can't wait to go back. Many thanks to all at O'Brien's tea room's

Visited these lovely tea rooms on a brief visit to Ormskirk. 3 of us were led to a large round table and were quickly served an all day breakfast with the chunkiest bread I’ve ever seen 😂. Breakfast was lovely, and the young blonde haired lady who served us was extremely polite and welcoming Unfortunately we didn’t have room for the amazing cakes we saw! Definitely need to come back!

Fabulous food and really lovely service. The young staff members were bubbly, well organised and helpful. Delicious scones. Well worth a visit.

We often pop in for a bite to eat as it's conveniently closed to good parking and has easy access for wheelchairs, walking frames and prams. The food is always well prepared at reasonable prices and the staff are friendly and efficient. We were also surprised that they were hosting an art exhibition by local artists. It's refreshing to see a local business supporting local artists. Worth a visit for coffee, cake and now culture.

Lovely tea rooms in Ormskirk. The food was delicious and the staff were very polite and friendly. Although a little old fashioned I think this added to the experience. Definitely worth a visit

This is a popular venue in the centre of Ormskirk with a reputation for good food and friendly staff. Highly recommend this establishment.

This is a regular visit for us. The good is lovely. Prepared as it's ordered, not sitting round being kept warm. Generous portions at very reasonable prices. Don't look for airs and graces, but it you enjoy good, home cooked food in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, you can't do better than O'Briens.

Had an excellent Christmas lunch with our Friendship group. Pleasant staff and good value. We will be back.

As usual, excellent service, excellent food and a comfortable relaxed atmosphere. Thankyou

75 Aintree u3a members had our Christmas lunch here again last week. As usual, a wonderful afternoon with exceptional food, great menu choice, fantastic staff who go above and beyond and work so hard. Atmosphere here is so welcoming and you are always sure of a great dining experience. Thank you to all the chefs, waiters and waitresses. Couldn't be beaten.

Christmas lunch today. Excellent as always. Very nice atmosphere, wonderful friendly staff. Meals were served promptly with just enough time between courses.

Amazing value, afternoon tea. We come here often and the food is lovely 😍 The home made scones and quiche were especially delicious. Love O'brien xx

Brilliant Tea Rooms. Varied menu. Great for lunch or afternoon tea or just to drop in for a cuppa. Well worth a visit. Exceptional value for money. Huge portions. I would say the best Tea Rooms in Ormskirk. Staff are polite and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. I would recommend you book a table particularly on Thursday Market Day or you may be disappointed.

Amazing breakfast - such amazing food, great service and fantastic value..we will certainly return!

Very olde worlde. Food lovely and very reasonable. Love the china teapot and cups and saucers.

Great social hub. Great for couples, groups and families, great food excellent value. Specials every day as well as standard menu

Food is delicious. I had salad, my friends had pie and chips, which were massive. Big pot of tea, what more could you want, fantastic. First time I have been and will definitely be going back.

Our food was outstanding as usual poached eggs perfect .. service with a smile an chat as always .. lovely atmosphere an pleasant happy cheerful staff as always .. never ever disappointed no matter what we order breakfast or dinner .. even down to hot drinks it's all made to perfection xxx

Arrived at the venue for a 12.30 booking, table was dirty and wet from previous customers, asked for the table to be cleaned handed a piece of blue catering roll, so we cleaned our own table, sat for nearly 20 mins without being asked what we what to drink no menu’s given to us, waitress came over to get our order she then realised that we hadn’t had a menu or ordered drinks, she took our drinks order and got us some menus she duly brought the drinks, a short time later she came and took the order, then we waited and waited for the food after being in there for nearly an hour, the food came out, food was fine home cooked chips and homemade coleslaw. We then asked for the bill twice before it was brought over. Will be a while before I return due to the very poor service.

Great food. Been to Ormskirk loads of times and passed this by to go to other cafes, wish I hadn't. Food was really nice and good value for money. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.

Charming, friendly and great value for money. You certainly won't leave here peckish. Big portions all round. Good old fashioned British food. A lovely cafe all round.

We went for an afternoon tea not worth it the staff was very lovely but afternoon tea not worth it not recommended

O'briens is a lovely tearoom in Ormskirk, West Lancashire. I have been there many times, both with my husband and a friend. They do breakfasts and lunches. They cater for large groups, couples and just individuals. Their menu is varied and they cater for vegan and gluten free.

Fantastic food, very tasty, big portions, value for money, great service. We try to go at least once a week it's that good.

Lovely staff fantastic service and food always eat here no better place

It was a great afternoon tea for everyone we did enjoy it and the Staff were great also the tea 🍵

Visited for a private party. Reasonable bar prices. Food was delicious.

I have had 4 meals here in Ormskirk's gem and the food is delicious. Every time the plate has been put before me, I have gasped out loud at the quantity and presentation. I tried the cakes twice, but for me they looked better than they tasted. So I'll just stick to the fantastic savoury food! It's a popular place and you can reserve a table. Right opposite Morrison's, so handy for car parking too.

Great experience from start to finish. Took the mums out for afternoon tea. Would highly recommend

Excellent lunch very nice staff

Went with my wife and two girls for my birthday. I had the large breakfast, my wife had poached eggs my girls had eggs benedict and waffles with banana and crispy bacon. Every thing was delicious. The staff are very friendly. Very reasonable price's, I can highly recommend.

Always enjoy visiting this timeless venue

They have lovely bread, bacon and eggs. The sausages were not as good as quality, but for a fiver you can't really complain. Looks like they do a good eggs Benedict. Edit: On my last visit, we went for lunch and sweets. Had some very nice sandwiches, chips and sundaes. 2nd Edit: Had some lovely eggs Benedict

Reasonable price and food was great

Good old fashioned tea rooms food looked good and plentiful

A good party of 20 odd people and the staff dealt with it admirably.

Luckily our friends had prebooked a table, as folk were queuing at the door to get in! Prompt, efficient, service and an excellent meal. Only regret being that we were too full to be able to get a slice of the wonderful cakes on offer. I was completely spoiled for choice, anyway. Will definitely be going again.

Went for an Ormskirk lions club Sunday lunchtime and had a super meal and the service was great.

The best place I have ever eaten at. You get the best of everything, nothing is to much trouble from the staff, it's what you need when you go out for a lovely meal. Getting treated as you expect.

Delicious fresh food. Iv seen comments about the decor being dated ect but it works and honestly it doesn’t matter. The food is delicious for such a price. It’s a really great little place

Nice clean place and good value and service.

Our first visit yesterday and will definitely be back. Excellent service on a very busy day, food was freshly prepared and extremely tasty and good value, didn’t need anything to eat for rest of day! Staff very pleasant and welcoming. Can’t wait to go back and sample some more delights from their varied menu.

Fantastic food, great staff. My favorite place in the whole world to eat!

Our Ramblers Xmas Dinner. Great.

Excellent service and good food. Can not fault.

The price of the food is good, and tastes amazing. Service was a little slow today but as every table was taken when we entered that is ok. There is a really good choice on the menu and sure there is something for everyone.

Lovely cafe and the food is amazing.

Food excellent for the price,staff friendly and knowledgeable about what is on the menu. I have eaten out there on several occasions, afternoon teas well worth the money.

Lovely food, atmosphere & friendly & helpful staff. Very reasonable prices.

Fabulously fresh food with a beautiful coffee aroma. Service was great and price was competitive. Ill visit this restaurant again on my next visit to Lancashire.

Wasn't very child friendly we felt out of place and very awkward

First time there with my wife on a visit to Ormskirk,what a nice experience the staff were brilliant and the food was all fresh,took me back before fast food was popular.

Staff are exceptional lovely friendly can't do enough and care so much for the customers A good choice on the menu we changed our minds so often then noticed all day breakfasts which was excellent 👌 even the lovely butter spread easily over the thick cut brown bread all ingredients were spot on and cooked just right there was a lovely ambience in the room so relaxing even a little girls birthday cake arrived everyone joined in so good we booked for the excellent afternoon tea which we are very much looking forward to five stars easy thank you all for a lovely afternoon

4 of us ate here today. All 4 meals were served quickly, the staff were so nice and the food was amazing for the price. We will definately return x

Lovely place to dine, very quick service clean and bright surroundings. Would come hear again very reasonably priced food and drink.

Absolutely delicious! Everything I had was tasty. I highly recommend.

Excellent food at very reasonable price, Pleasant staff.

Totally first class,staff superb with great selection of foods and cakes to die for

Excellent as always it is the best food and value for money in Ormskirk

Food is excellent, good quality and well prepared, friendly staff and very clean eateries.

Superior breakfast and service. I will be back.

Had lunch with friend great food all freshly prepared and excellent quality and value. Big portions and daily specials give good choice. Friendly staff. Will be back. Best booking a table as very busy.

The breakfast was fantastic. The staff were wonderful and made us feel very welcome. I would absolutely recommend this place

Staff were friendly and on arriving - about 1pm - took us to a table straight away, but we were waiting 20 minutes for someone to take our order. Ordered 2 drinks and 1 slice of cake, cake arrived but drinks were another 10 minutes later. I ordered carrot cake, which the sponge was nice but the icing tasted slightly of garlic? Not sure why. The restaurant wasn't overly busy even though it was lunch time, so I'm not sure why the long wait to order? Would perhaps return at a different time to see if this was just a one off, and maybe try a different cake.

Great food at a very realistic price. Staff superb. Definitely go again.

Went with a friend for Hugh tea which was very yummy. Went into toilets which had an advert for weight watchers. Not a message I wanted to see at that time after a lovely treatv

Had Sunday Lunch. Food was excellent and Staff were so helpful Thoroughly enjoyed by my wife and I.

No disputing the food and service is good, but salad and coleslaw with breakfast!!!! What's that all about?

Lovely freshly made food at a good price.

Food was lovely really, although this place may be aimed at an older clientel we had a lovely dining experience and prices were extremely reasonable

Had a club sandwich was best i have had you get lovely side salad also best coleslaw..also had lemon drizzle cake was nice but over priced for cake

Fabulous place staff great, food great could not ask for a better place

Best bacon on toast.Roast sirloin bef sandwich today. Delicious. Children's menu is great too. Food is excellent. Quality at great price. Staff are brilliant. Efficient and friendly. Always visit here if in Ormskirk.

Couldn't believe how large the restaurant was very clean and a lot of choices on the menu at reasonably prices.

O'Brien's tea room feels like a relic of the past in many ways, which is why I find this review hard to write, as I'm clearly not the audience catered to. Despite this, the atmosphere feels drab, and extremely outdated. The service felt sluggish and quite sad at times, with very few people even providing service with a smile. The food was extremely diverse in terms of selection, even providing a katsu curry, which was interesting to see for a tea room. However, upon ordering it's clear to me that this diversity may be too far in some aspects. The katsu part of the curry was great, the chicken was well cooked, and the breadcrumbs were a nice golden brown, but the curry itself was not that of a typical katsu curry sauce, and upon requesting why this was the case, I was informed the chef had done it since college. Odd for sure. My partner also ordered a chicken & chorizo skewer, which had undercooked chicken, but the chefs fixed this as soon as they could, and removed it from the bill to apologise. The cake was fantastic, although for the price I was paying it felt like it was rationed out to me with quite a thin slice, which only made me feel like the place was stuck in a time warp even more. Overall, my experience here was not the best, and from what I've seen from other reviewers it could just be that either I'm not the audience catered to, or I came on an off day.

Proper portions, delicious food and great prices. The place is also very quiet and the staff are very helpful.

Went here before Xmas last year to have lunch with my ,cousin and Aunty absolutely a dream To go to …..food was absolutely cooked to perfection. Lovely staff and excellent table service we like trying various locations for lunch in Ormskirk and this is now in my top 10 of ideal places to go to

Lovely going there food is amazing and not expensive

Wonderful food and service, all at very reasonable prices, will definitely call again

My favourite place .. Breakfast ..Afternoon tea ... omg everything is amazing.. even had our xmas night there 3 course perfect ...staff are so friendly 😊

I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Four family members enjoyed a delicious Christmas Dinner last weekend, two courses of top class food. Our starters were exquisite followed by the best Christmas dinner I've ever tasted- crispy roasted potatoes, a large serving of turkey with all the trimmings, excellent portions, we didn't have room for dessert. Staff are friendly, attentive and the whole experience put us in the mood for Christmas. Thank you O'Briens we will definitely be returning.

I usually go every week with a group of friends for breakfast or lunch. We booked for Christmas dinner it was amazing. The food was excellent cooked to perfection and the service was fantastic, staff where friendly and could not do enough for us. Would highly recommend
