Park Road Cafe in St. Helens

Excellent little cafe. Lovely soup with a fresh buttered barm. Yummy. Egg mayonnaise sandwich - fantastic. Only minor negative were the chips. Cooked to perfection, but alas, the oil was burnt, giving them a greasy taste. Will definitely recommend.

Great food and friendly service

Lovely food. Polite staff. Well priced

First time visit definitely go back Nice and airy inside,plenty of space, Bacon 🥓 very tasty,toast v good just how I like it, nice brew, beans could have been bit more hotter thinking of going having Christmas Dinner

It's an ok cafe.A little on the expensive side but clean and decent menu.

I'd recommend this cafe, lots of great dishes, but i would not recommend the eggs benedict I had this morning. Hard yolk on the poached eggs. And still not 100% sure what was wrong with the hollandaise, googled it and turns out it can be made with mayo or marg. Yuk! That would explain it. Ok, I ate it, as far as I had no choice but to eat the hollandaise that was was on the food, I did not mop it all up. Was actually thankfull the yolks were hard so didnt have to mop it all up. Its that grey area of ok and edible but would never order again. Either do it right or take it off the menu. You're good enough without.

Worst food I have been served in a long time! Ordered vegan chilli loaded fries, arrived about 30 mins later. A soup bowl of tasteless watery chilli (splashed all down the side of bowl) consisting of reconstituted soya mince, a few kidney beans and rubbery mushrooms which must have been microwave boiled in the dish. Chips were soft and tasted of oil. My friend had a jacket potato which was hard and undercooked. Really awful experience and won't be going back.

We had a buffet for my sons 21st last night and all I can say is the food was outstanding and will deffinately be going back for any future parties Once again thank you so much PARK ROAD CAFE WELL RECOMMEND 10/ 10 WELL DONE GUYS

To be honest, I have only had breakfast here. But it has always been exceptionally good, staff are very professional and helpful great cafe and keep up the good work 👏

The food could be a bit more value instead of changing for cheaper food

Had breakfast here today at 8:30am service at the table was really good, super polite lady great customer service just how it should be, and the food good quality and arrived fast. All good 👍🏻

We had a lovely waitress, she was so nice and chatty xx

Cafe only half full, loads of tables empty, but as soon as 6 of us walked in they said 1 hour for food. People walking out! REPLY: 3 members of staff, said 45 mins, 50mins and the lady with black hair said 1 hour. So no confusion on my part, just yours! Take outs or not, 1 hour is not acceptable, especially when customers are walking out, with cafe not even half full.

Had a Sunday lunch takeaway. Staff very friendly and the food was really nice. Really enjoyed it.

Gutted because I usually like a breakfast from here. But, Half 11 Sunday morning, cafe half empty and Was told 50 mins wait then told 1 hour wait. Never offered take out so a party of 6 turned away. Which in the end probably worked out for the best because we went to morrisons 1/2 mile away and I would recommend this because quality and price was 💯

Ordered a medium breakfast, very impressive, bacon cooked to perfection and a lovely crispy hash brown, also had an excellent cup of coffee, staff very very pleasant

Excellent breakfast. Very good service

Called in for the first time today after hearing from people who have been. Had a lovely breakfast, and they were not wrong about the food or the service. Will be back to try lunch.

Walking group had summer brekkie. Brilliant food and exceptional service. Very friendly. Will be back at Christmas 👍👍

Good simple food with something for everyone. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and friendly wait staff!

The breakfast is gorgeous definitely recommend. Staff are lovely and the service is spot on. Its a great cafe lovely and clean. With great service by the staff. All the meals looks great 👍

We went today myself, my 85 year old father in law and 17 year old daughter for lunch. It was really busy but we were shown a seat and our order was taken. 2x medium breakfast and 2 mugs of tea. You could not fault anything on the plate, and there was nothing left on the plates once finished. My daughter had a Honey Chili chicken wrap and homemade chips, which she said was absolutely lovely and a caramel frappa. Again, nothing left, and the frappa looked amazing. The cafe is spotless. Parking is easy, and pricing is very reasonable. Lovely afternoon.

Gorgeous Lunch Myself and my Son thoughrolly enjoyed our meal. My Grandaughter's also enjoyed there meal Delicious.😋😋👍

a year ago this place was the place to go .but having recently visited for food i was shocked to find 40 mins waiting times .sub standard quality and shocking change of the feel of the place .will not be returning .needs a big shake up

Nice cafe for bike meet Lovely staff and very good value for the money

7 of us met up for coffee/snacks. The cafe wasnt that busy but service was very slow - even to get a coffee. Waitress just banged my coffee on table and walked off - miserable. Too busy chatting to regular customers and mopping floor. We wont be returning

Met up with a group of biker friends there. Very good service and food at reasonable price. I will return

Always a friendly welcome ,nice food etc

This is an update of my previous review. Took nearly an hour for a breakfast to arrive and when it did. The food was Luke warm. how is that even possible. The chef must be Mr bean as Only an idiot can take an hour to cook a breakfast. People leaving due to there wait time. Will never waste my time in this place again. To the chef.. you need a new career as you clearly can not cook or manage simple food tasks. it doesn't take much effort to make breakfasts and it certainly doesn't need to take an hour. Are you Rowan Atkinson or just his character Mr bean.

Wow whatc a fabulous cafe the food is second to one and all the staff are lovley, the food was 100% and he would be back again. 👏👏👏 thank you Park Road Cafe St Helens. Xxxx

Fantastic service quality and value for money could not ask for any more. Thank you.

Lovely restaurant with very friendly staffs!

Everything about the place is brilliant, breakfasts are epic, I would say very reasonably priced for what you get, I ordered 2 bacon sausage and egg on toast, and everything was to perfection, just how you would want it, loads of seating space, they do delivery aswell, but was informed that their would be a 2 hour wait, so popped in instead. Waited about 25 mins for food which wasn't bad at all considering it was very busy, overall brilliant occasion, and worth every penny. Will be my go to place for food and breakfasts in the future. Thanks guys..... keep up the great work. 👍😎😋

Cheap and cheerful, food has always been fine. Never had occasion to complain about the food or service.

Food is normally decent, but they ALWAYS forget atleast one thing. Work in the business myself so I know it happens. Order two meals and people who come in after us get there’s before we’ve had it after 45 minutes. Don’t believe in complaining because you can never judge the circumstances, I’m happy waiting, but not to the extent that people who come in after you get theirs and finish theirs before we have even started!.

Waitress was unaware of teas available.

Friendly staff and atmosphere. Good food although a little disappointed with my salad. I had a lovely omelette with salad. My small salad consisted of Lettuce, Tomato and Cucumber. I like a bit more variety in my salad and a nice dressing. Only had Mayonnaise. I did enjoy the food I had and there was a good car park.

Going the wrong way this cafe. Used to be a decent place. But it was half full, but yet a 45 min wait. No brown bread tiny plates so it looks like you’re getting a lot. Don’t think we’ll be going back here. To many half decent cafes in st Helen’s.

Service was slow and because I didn't have a full breakfast I found it very expensive, the lady that served me said it was because I ordered individual items, 3 x sausages 3 bacon and 2 very small eggs.... total £11, all because I was on a meat only diet. Makes you wonder why at these prices.

Poor, Went with my family saw the staff smoking out of the shop multiple times, Heard some shouting at the back of the shop and mugs are not correctly washed. Avoid!!!

Great family cafe, good food at reasonable prices. Excellent parking on site. Can recommend

Good place for food and a coffee wud use again

Have just had a wonderful afternoon tea a frozen theme with Elsa as a surprise guest my granddaughter who is 3 was amazed as she loves frozen she hasn’t stopped talking about it can’t praise the staff enough you did a fantastic job if you have anymore themed days will be there it was lovely to see children having such an amazing time

Not dog friendly, food is average, not as good as when it first opened

Took my 88 Yr old Mum who has Alzeimers ,staff were amazing ,thank you ,food was fantastic too ,will be definitely be returning !

My daughter treated me to a birthday breakfast. Was just what I ordered. Served with a smile. Staff pleasant. Never been here before but will certainly come again.

Waited a long time for them to take are orders. Then it was ages before they brought it to us and that was after us asking had they forgot us. At one point 3 of the staff where outside on the corner having a smoke. This used to be a good cafe.

This review is on behalf of my Mum and her friends. They visited last Thursday, waited 20 minutes and no staff came to take their order, had to ask staff if someone was taking orders, they then waited another 10 minutes before their order was taken, they were then told it was a 30 minute wait for food even though cafe was not full. A few people who arrived after them were served and received thier meals first. Food arrived and was of a poor standard, warmed up brown chips and rubbery ham on one meal. It appears as mentioned on other reviews that staff seem to serve regulars before anyone else, and this cafe is living on past reputations. Visited this cafe on numerous occasions and food was lovely, standards have certainly declined, and there are better cafes than this in St Helens.

Always good food. Never disappointed!

Good food at decent price.big airy cafe plenty of space.lovel place

Drive past this place all the time we decided to call in. What a lovely friendly place it is. So clean and staff are so nice. We had the breakfast and as I'm a chef myself I couldn't fault the food. Will definitely be going back regularly.

Fantastic cafe with in my opinion the best breakfast st helens has to offer. Really great place with a good menu and changing specials so something for everyone. Amazing staff, great value, pleasant surroundings. A definite favourite of many around town, loads of parking and even have events including classic cars depending on the season. We'll worth trying it out you won't regret it

Used them for a buffet for my wedding reception, worth the cost and there was plenty of food and everyone really enjoyed the food!

But when we arrived , and we sat down and waited for a waitress, nothing. Three ladies followed us in and sat obviously regulars, waitress is on them like a ton brick . Now behind us was three people who had not ordered as well as four people opposite, allwere in before us. The three ladies had ordered and been served and left table cleaned before we got served. Very poor indeed, and I worked in catering 25yrs.

Called in for lunch, 21st Sep. It was packed, ordered Fish, chips n pies X 2. All cooked to perfection. Understandably, had to wait a bit for our food, but, WOW !!! Was it worth the wait, our food was cooked to perfection. Both our fish were massive, infact, never had a fish as big B4. There customer service was 1st rate, and, considering how many customers were in, they handled everything perfectly. The tables were all cleared n cleaned promptly, and everywhere was very clean indeed. Would well recommend PRC, and well deserved 5* ratings. Well done to all the staff.

Went yesterday for the first time with 2 friends food was amazing staff very friendly and helpful very reasonable price we will definitely be going again

Great on bike 🏍 night Wednesday

Nice cafe and nice food. Most of the staff were really friendly. We did think that one of the staff members could have waited until we had actually finished eating before brushing under the table around our feet! 🤔 (And it was over an hour off closing time.) That aside everything else was great 👍

Toast is rock hard, chocolate fudge cake was stale, cheese on omelette was hard. Very disappointed. Ordered from here for a couple of years now and it’s just gone worse each time. Back to your little reply! I asked for delivery you said an hour so I rang back and said will pick up you said half an hour he got there in 25 minutes and he had to sit and wait another 20 minutes before you give him the food because it wasn’t ready. The cheese in the omelette was hard because it had been microwaved! Never have I ever left a bad review on anything and when I do you go and lie about what actually happened 😂

Food was very good and reasonably priced. Had fish, chips and peas and it was far better than any chippy supplies in Haydock. Staff were very helpful

Food is great...staff are fantastic

Below standard s bit price y not go again

Good varied breakfast. Some vegetarian options.. my family when visiting from London have this place as a must go. Good parking facilities and the premises are spotless.. Generous portions ....

Always have a nice breakfast here. Wish they would extend the seating area. Can get very busy, as you’d expect from the best Cafe in Britain 🇬🇧. Loads of parking.

Great place! Shoes by how busy it is. The staff are great and their laughter is infectious 😄

Fantastic place for food and drinks and the staff are always there for you if you need anything. Thank you for your service.

Nice very clean cafe food was OK staff really lovely

The first time I have been to this restaurant, even though it was busy, the food came very quickly, I got a big fry and it was very good

Staff very friendly and helpful, top cafe 👍

Went to bike night food was great but atmosphere was a bit dull

Popped in when visiting from Australia. Great little cafe with a huge Gluten Free selection on the menu. Very clean and modern.

Nice clean modern cafe with loads of parking. Went on a busy Sunday (also fathers day). Food took a while to arrive but the place was very busy. Had a large breakfast. Food was quite good and the staff were very freindly

Lovely Sunday breakfast, gorgeous food fast service and excellent price 👌

Been on very busy bike nights and staff always great and have a smile food great parking great 👍

We went for some breakfast just sat down looking at meau lady come over and asked are we ready to order Not yet as just sat down after deciding we waited for someone to take are order after 10mins my wife went to the counter and asked one of the four members of staff can we order she was told someone will come and take are order . Are breakfast arived the sausage looked sad with know taste and the big Bob Bar#### beans had know colour in them or taste and the mushrooms were not cooked on a plus the bacon was nice and toast We won't be back

Great value & friendly staff. 👍 Plenty parking space as well.

Not even from St. Helens but always come up here just for Park Road Cafe. It honestly exceeds my expectations every single visit. From the quick, warming customer service to the wide range of comforting food they offer. No cafe can compete! I went away to the lakes recently and found myself comparing every cafe I visited to park road… Lovely staff, very hard workers. Nice to see a local business thriving so much.

Wonderful food really friendly staff will be going in again

I would recommend this cafe to anyone every time me and my partner have visited the food never disappoints and the staff are very friendly absolutely love it 5 stars from us👍

Every time we go fantastic food fantastic service and friendly staff.

Had the biggest breakfast with my mum spending some time with her don't get to see her much with living in manchester

Spotlessly clean great food at reasonable prices. 👍

Ideal spot for a quick bite. Recommended

A bit of a wait for food to come but food was good, coffee good, price good and they are motorbike friendly. Worth a visit. Updated review: waiting time is no better, waited upto 1hr after ordering food for it to be brought out. A couple of people, complained about the wait and a couple left before ordering after they seen how long you had to wait. Food was still good but I had a normal coffee today and it was very weak/watery, so wouldn't recommend just a normal coffee. The price has gone up slightly since I last visited but so has the cost of living. I've marked it down 1 star since my last visit as today's visit was worse than my last visit. I will try again in the future to see if it improves.

Can't comment did not stay long enuf

Amazing lovely staff all home made food Sunday dinners worth waiting for never had anything bad and been coming ere since opened xxx

Clean, good food and great prices. Staff are welcoming and good amount of parking.

The best poached egg I've ever had.

Good food as always. Unfortunately they gave me someone else's order at first but I noticed before driving away (take out). Soon rectified and these things happen. I'll 100% be going back again.

Collected 4 platters of sandwiches ,pies, pasta etc on Sunday, absolutely superb nice and fresh and lots of it ,excellent value for money and really great food

Excellent definitely go back again. 👌

Very good excellent food would go again staff are friendly recommend to people

Food bland wrong order brought Bad stomach Not recommended

Disappointed with the food not very hot but service was friendly enough,bit pricey for the breakfast won't bother going again

Really clean Food was fresh The bike nights Are great fun

Very nice and clean and very busy so we obviously had to wait a while, but will definitely recommend this cafe,lovely food.

Great cafe with excellent variety of food and drink

I ordered 2 fish and chips and a tea and a coffee when I visited today. I was presented with the bill before the food arrived which came to £18 something. I handed the lady 2 £10 notes one of which was Scottish, which is legal tender in the UK. The lady said she couldn't except that as the owner doesn't like them. After I questioned her she then contradicted herself and said if she did take it, it would end up in her wages. In disbelief I politely said, you can leave the food and drink and we left. I found this whole experience baffling. She or the owner obviously have issues with the Scottish people and their perfectly legal Pound Sterling tender. I will never eat there again and I will advise everyone I know to do the same.

Food and service is always spot on - best cafe in town
