Red Bank Farm Shop and Butchery in St. Helens - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I had heard about the place but never been so decided to take my toddler to have a look. He was delighted with the lovely pumpkins on display outside when we arrived. The farm shop/butchers looked well stocked and everything looked great, we had a cup of tea and a babyccino with a tractor shaped ginger biscuit in the cafe. Before we left we went to say hello to the cows on site, which my little boy loved! Really cute little place and I’ll definitely be back on my own to have a proper browse without a demanding 3 year old telling me off!

Beautiful breakfast in gorgeous surroundings. Staff are lovely. Great little find and really worth a visit. Meat and vegetables looked amazing too.

The fresh meat here is really good quality, it still beat expectations, the selection is good and they do some different flavoured sausages & burgers too. The cafe looks nice but I didn’t stay for a drink I did however treat myself to a lemon muffin on the way out which was also good. Fresh food and homebaked goods from here are much better than any super market could offer. Highly recommended!

Ordered the smoked salmon and scrambled egg on toast which was £8.50 and it came with ONE piece of toast. Absolute rip off. Also kitchen/waiting staff thrash around the place being very very noisy clattering pots and pans. Very unpleasant - avoid.

Always tasty food, great quality and a nice place. 👍🏼 Just wish it didn't sound like a warzone behind the kitchen counter with the staff smashing cupboards, plates, cutlery and coffee scoops about all the time 😂😂

Was staying in the area for a family event and decided to have Sunday breakfast here instead of the hotel buffet option. Definitely a much better choice! It was very busy even though we got there 15 minutes after opening, but we managed to get a table. The staff were friendly, the food was served quickly and it was excellent. We'll be back next time we're in the area.

I was genuinely shocked when I saw the price of drinks in this place. I live locally and was looking forward to finding a local business to make my regular coffee stop among making other purchases. However I really can’t understand why the coffee is so expensive?? ….. I go to a lot of different coffee outlets and these prices are the highest I’ve experienced. Therefore I’m sorry to say this will not be a regular visit for me. It’s a shame as the shop and surroundings are nice enough.

We had a minor issue regarding the order but the staff were first class in the way they dealt with it, you couldn't ask for a better response. The food was excellent, the cafe was immaculate and the pricing was very reasonable. Recommended!

have eaten here many times, all cooked fresh, delicious cakes. the shop is excellent and the butcherers is fab

Lovely little place - I visited the butchers and got 2 packs of chicken, meatballs, burgers, chilli stuffed peppers and salt and pepper cobs for £25. The scouse lady behind the counter was very friendly and very helpful. All lovely meats and can tell the difference from supermarket meat. My only criticism is that there are no Use By dates and no cooking instructions so I was unsure how long everything needed - a cooking novice like me needs that! I definitely think this would help people in the future.

Look at this steak! It is the Lord of the steaks, the Godfather if you will. Odin Lord of beef. Best butcher in the North West, go get yourself a Tomahawk, feel full for a week, save on weekly shopping bills. Taste Valhalla.

Visited the butcher at red bank a number of times and never been disappointed. The meat is excellent we have tried quite a lot of the products and love them all. Service is friendly and quick. Definitely worth a visit

Came as a family for lunch. The food was superb and cooked fresh to order. My wife and I had homemade minted lamb pie with chips. My daughter had a minted lamb baguette full to bursting. Her partner had suckling pig baguette with stuffing and apple sauce. Both served with salad. Our pie was as good as I've had in a long time. We then bought cakes and took these home along with meat from the adjoining butchers. Lovely lunch and lovely staff.

This cosy place is the all-time favourite for our blind granddaughter. The service is friendly and the food well presented and delicious.

I visited with my daughter today. Looked a nice place till we got out of the car. There was a strong 'farm smell' very unpleasant also smelt of butchery and raw meat. It made me feel sick. The food was not good, particularly the cream of mushroom soup my daughter had. I over heard some of the staff speaking disparingly about vegetarians. I found this offensive. Also noticed on leaving cafe right next door they are actively butchering animals. Horrific. One to avoid.

Called on our way home after visiting Warrington.. What an unexpected pleasant surprise. Saw the sign and pulled in. First you see this great butchers shop with superb meat selection then you walk into the cafe. First I will say is the staff are lovely, especially the scouse girl. Lovely place and we sat by a nice fire with a good coffee. We shared a most delightful Welsh rarebit which was both large and great tasting with salad and crisps. So reasonable. We took home a piece of key lime pie which was also good. All products are from the farm itself. Will certainly go again.

A nice farm shop with good stock for the locals. The atmosphere was nice. Sadly the food was a let down. The hog roast baguette was disappointing the meat was dry, no crackling and not much flavour. Not worth £7.99. Coffee was more of a latte than a flat white. However there are friendly staff I would visit again for the farm shop but not the lunch.

Delicious food and good selection on the menu,friendly staff and,the butchers looked to have a good selection of meat-worth stocking up if you are self catering.Previous reviews have commented on the smell -the clue is in the title it's a farm! We will stop of again on our way north.

We went for breakfast with friends this morning, our first visit to eat here. A very friendly welcome, great service, fantastic food (especially the Eggs Royale). We will definitely be back again very soon.

Been using this shop for a number of years, even before the cafe and makeover. Last two timesI have gone in to get steak and there hasn’t been enough, or nothing in the back. It’s a shame as I ended up in Bents, and I prefer to shop local and the ribeye when it’s in is very good hence the 3 stars. Get some high end steak in at weekends please.

Whatever time of day there’s always lovely food on offer with good choice staff are friendly and the butchers has a good range too 🤗

The food was brilliant but the customer service was exceptional. I don’t know her name but she was from Liverpool and she was so polite and made us feel at home. Thank you and will be back again soon

I have been to Red Bank Farm a few times recently after hearing great reviews myself and I have to agree. Lovely friendly staff, clean and great choices from breakfasts to light bites and then a good selection of cakes and coffee.

Just ok. Stinks of the butchers. I personally don't like the place. The meat is okay but don't go often.

We pop in whenever possible for a coffee and cake or a spot of lunch. The food is always delicious and fresh. Its not cheap but I think you get what you pay for. The breakfasts are anazing! The shop have lots of foodie treats which are very tempting and of course the meat is the jewel in the crown. The friendly staff are always happy to advise on which cuts are best for certain recipes etc.

Our first visit, why did we leave it so long? We went for breakfast and it did not disappoint. Staff were lovely and I would certainly recommend the full English. The butchery shop is also worth a look and had a steady stream of customers which gave a good indication of the quality of the produce. We will definitely visit on a regular basis in future.

So after reading all the great reviews about this farm shop and myself liking fresh local produce, i decided to travel from Altrincham to take a look.

My wife and i decided to pop in and have a spot of lunch whilst rambling in the local area, on the outside the cafe looked promising, However once on the inside this was a let down, very noisy, cramped and the staff looked at us like we had two heads, sadly we left before ordering anything.

Just a quick rendezvous for coffee, cake and a chat. Quiet, cozy ( we had the arm chairs) and quite delicious. Cappuccino, carrot cake, chocolat chaud and cherry bakewell. A special mention for the attentive staff and warm welcome. I'm looking forward to next time.

I have been to this farm shop many times and I have never been disappointed with the quality of the meat that I have purchased. Although it may be slightly more expensive than the supermarkets it is very much worth it.

what a disgrace . my wife and i and our 3 children visited this place for lunch , Only for the children throwing up all day due to the so called home cooked food .

Went here for lunch with a friend. Very disappointed had a longish wait and the Toasties we ordered were very disappointing - really disliked the bread they used. We spoke to staff about this but they did not seem interested.

Prices extortionate, service slow, staff ignorant, cheap fixtures and fittings and over all ambiance noisy. Will not use again. Such a shame.

We use the farm shop regularly and it’s always great quality. The cafe is a great addition. It’s always busy and the food is lovely. Ideal for a coffee and a catch up with friends.

Hard working family business. A little bit off the beaten track but well worth the visit.Staff where freindly and efficient and the food and coffee very good

If you are looking for a super cafe, value for money, and fabulous service where you're always welcomed back, then this is for you. You also get a roaring log fire in winter and a covered outside seating area suitable for dog walkers needing a break.

We came here for a Sunday breakfast which was very very tasty. The bacon is really good here as are the sausages - which you would expect with it being a butchery!

My wife and I decided to pop in to visit the butcher's one morning, which has an amazing selection of meats. Much better than any supermarket. We decided to nip into the cafe too, and we sat and had a wonderful breakfast. Service is very friendly and fast, it's very clean and the cakes look delicious as well. This place is not going to be good for my waistline!!

This is a top quality farm shop with accompanying cafe. All produce comes from the farm and is really good quality, especially the wide selection of meats and cuts of meat. The range of in-season veg is as fresh as you like and again, perfect quality. That's what you get with this sort of place, high quality! You might pay a bit more than at the local supermarket but it's so worth it. We tried the cafe and were taken aback at the range of food on offer. All cooked on site and again, sourced at the farm. Really good portions and served well by the staff. We'll definitely make this a regular place.

The sandwiches were delicious, as was the cake for afterwards. Only downside was that the coffee was a little bitty (need to press down more on the ground beans) and a little slow to clear the tables. Well worth a visit though.

We went to this little cafe yesterday, it was amazing. The staff where are friendly and very accomadating. The cafe has a great atmosphere with fantastic food. Myself and my sister had sandwichs with cake and tea to follow . I would highly reccomend this little place a visit, it also had it's own farmshop/butchers attached with many unusual items for sale. There are goats & horses in the area around the carpark. A brilliant place for Afternoon tea. We will be returning. :-)

Food in the cafe and shop of an extremely high quality. Recently purchased lamb shanks - a little pricy but as it was for a dinner party I was happy to pay as I could guarantee the quality would be outstanding. Never been disappointed with anything purchased in the shop or cafe.

Just off the main road it would be easy to miss this great place but that would be a shame , with the best meat in the area by far and now a wonderful cafe serving good coffee ☕️, breakfast and cakes plus a lot more too this place is really worth a visit

Have visited here a few times now and every time the food has been excellent. The place is cosy and beautiful and the atmosphere is always lovely. The only thing that lets it down is the service is a little slow and the kitchen can sometimes be a bit noisy. But if you don’t mind waiting a little longer, this is a lovely place for breakfast or lunch- especially at Christmas.

Had a lovely cup of tea and cake sat outside watching the goats! A nice place to sit and relax right around the corner

Went here today for lunch. Three of us had the hot beef and gravy sandwich and all agreed it was delicious. My 5 year old didn't want a sandwich but just wanted a bowl of tuna, which they had no problem making for her with a bit of salad. Finally we all got cake to take away. 2 pavlovas, a lemon meringue cake and a high chocolate cupcake. Highly recommended

Visited here "off the cuff" recently with my wife whilst working in the area. We both had lovely cooked breakfasts and good coffee. Staff were friendly and the place was clean, quiet and tidy. What more can I say...would I go back, most definitely.

Nice fresh food and a decent menu. The coffee is good too. You don’t need to book, just turn up. Then you can nip to the farm shop for great meats.

Had a delightful breakfast here! Also the cakes are delicious! Nice atmosphere and a lovely stop after a long walk!

I want to tell everyone how much my mother and I enjoyed our lunch here today but at the same time don’t want to so we can keep it to ourselves! The food was delicious! My mum had the hot beef sub roll which she said was lovely and I had ham and cherry tree onion chutney sub roll which was really nice. The salad dressing was nice too and served with spicy crisps. We also had banana milkshakes which looked and tasted yummy.

Visited here for Sunday brunch - it didn’t disappoint.

Good farm shop with quality meats a bit dearer than supermarkets but well worth it. The cafe is the same as all other farm shop cafés but with limited choice. Nice cakes and tray bakes.

We stopped here for a cuppa as we were passing and what a great find it was! My partner had probably the best hot chocolate EVER and I have a lovely cup of tea! We also had a couple of sub sandwiches. Everything was really fresh with plenty of fillings, very fresh salad and kettle crisps. The surroundings in the coffee shop were lovely too. We'll try to get back at some point as it was amazing!

Tucked away off the main road you may just ride right past it. But turn on in and enjoy a sit in the cafe. Reasonable prices in all departments. Great choice in the cafe, worth a trip on its own.trouble is it doesn't look much from the road. Having said that it does give you a quiet space.

Been on here a couple of times it’s a lovely little cafe with a great little shop and butchers. The food is lovely

Fabulous coffee great service good food good menu. Linked with a fabulous farm shop. Open Wednesday to Sunday.

Tucked away just off the A49 this is a lovely little cafe with a quaint farm shop. Staff are very friendly and the food very enjoyable, nice change from lunch in a pub. Cafe is clean, a special nice touch having nappies & wipes in the toilets for us frantic mums who forget things! We will be going back to try the breakfasts. Did buy meat from the shop, not the cheapest but definitely excellent quality and very tasty.

Dropped in here when out on a walk. Lovely coffee & selection of teas. Gorgeous gluten free brownie & bakewell slice.

Sandwiches, cakes, and coffee all fresh and tasty. Helpful staff and friendly service. Small inside so there are a limited number of tables but some tables also outside and very pleasant to sit outside on a nice day. Meat sold from the butchers shop also very good quality. Well worth a visit. It is good to support such a well run local business.

We ate here on Sunday morning and enjoyed a gorgeous breakfast and excellent, friendly service. The cafe is cute and quirky and the candles were a nice touch. The food was lovely - hot, well cooked and freshly prepare, in fact the best full English I've had in a long time and with excellent coffee. The adjacent farm shop had some great quality meat and again, friendly service and great value,

Surprise lunch out, for the 3 of us. The little cafe is lovely, spotless, and so cosy. The two young ladies serving were warm, friendly, and very helpful. Our lunches were very good , and we all enjoyed. The butchery and farm shop were also well stocked with fresh meats , breads and pastries, a first visit, but definitely will visit again.

My wife and I visited this Farm Shop and attached coffee shop which is apparently not open on Monday and Tuesday. It closes at 3.00pm on Sundays. There are a couple of small goats to entertain young children and a good variety of foods in the Butchery as well as the lean meats

We've been coming here for years for good quality meat and fresh eggs. Best place locally! The cafe is a great addition too. Not very atmosphere and good service, we like coming here for a coffee.

Best pork pie I've ever tasted, great butchers and produce with an excellent cafe also, all you need after a lovely local walk on a sunny day - a smashing hidden gem

Have had breakfast there on a number of occasions including today. Ambience and service pretty good. Only a small number of tables inside but at the same time you don't feel shoe horned into the place. Nice use of blackboard bistro type fixtures and fittings. The smoked salmon is really nice on bagels. Car parking is much better now the bird enclosures have been removed. Little home produce farm shop you walk through to get to the cafe which has a few nice little touches and unusual items to buy. Pity it only usually opens at 1000hrs, prefer my breakfast a little earlier.

Found this hidden gem about six months ago and since then we use it as a foodie drop in regularly. The breakfast is of a good quality for the price, though a bit of black pudding on it wouldn't go miss, the toasties and sandwiches are also of a similar high quality as is the coffee.

We've been calling for a while now, we've enjoyed seeing the shop then cafe develop. The meat and choices have always been good, we use it for BBQ ideas all the time. To be able to walk down and have coffee and a snack is great. After the recent wind damage to the goat and bird area, along with the subsequent clearance you can see more development potential. We've never had anything but a pleasant greeting, great meat and nice snacks for the last 3-4 years. Locals can continue to support the effort they are putting in.

Found this by chance whilst passing in the car. Lovely coffee shop and reasonably priced. Food looked delicious.

The meat is gorgeous they sell all kinds of meat and is all locally sourced. Wouldn't buy my meat from anywhere else. There is a coffee shop to. The fillet steaks are to die for.

Butchery meat is well presented, particularly at weekends but it has become increasingly expensive and have recently given it a miss. Choices not always available mid week. Cakes and groceries are also expensive. The cafe is good and a nice place for a coffee and a cake.

Had a lovely breakfast here all made with fresh ingredients. The cafe is on the smaller side so can get busy quite quickly. There is a nice shop and butchers on site. There were some animals outside for children to look at. Nice visit

This appears to be a former barn which has been renovated to include a butchers shop and a small tea/coffee shop.

Really lovely high quality breakfasts, lunches just a bit simple for the price. Nice e little cafe though.

This is a hidden gem. A small cosy cafe with only about 6 tables but with excellent food. Sandwiches, breakfast and toasties which are freshly prepared. Great coffee, cracking playlist for the music and free wifi. I cannot praise this place enough. By the way they do a fabulous full english breakfast with sausages which are made on the premises.
