The Paddock in St. Helens

Good atmosphere and splendid pint of staropramen

This is a pub not a restaurant .This plase has been refurbished and is a lovely place to have a drink .Staff very friendly .

Because I never trust online booking processes.....I just phoned the restaurant to confirm my booking for next weekend. Just as well I did. The lady I spoke to said the restaurant closed down 'for good' this last Sunday. Ah well.

First time visitor, ordered Sunday Lunches to take away. Portion sizes didn't look much till transferred on to plates at home food was lovely. Will definitely use again.

We booked the restaurant/room for our Grandson's 21st birthday, with 40 guest's. A good time was had by all. Super food, even catering for the kids, reasonable prices and the staff were all amazing. One of the friendliest venue's we have been to. A big thank you from all our family.

What a fab night we had, there was 40 of us, very well organised, all had our meals served together, the food was lovely and the staff went above & beyond especially Mel.thanks for a night to remember x

Returned here after a break due to the place going from 5 star to zero following a takeover,however, now under a different manager and whilst not yet back to the standard of a few years back everything is cooked fresh and to a good standard, Sunday lunch was very good, we will return to try other food here & update again but is worth a visit.

We went on the of chance, 2 parties were expected but we weren't turned away, the staff were so friendly and made sure we were happy with everything. of cause we were the food was outstanding and the bar staff wonderful. even the main man had time for a chat and a laugh, Try this place for yourselves but would just say phone them first to check if they can fit you in

Went for Father in laws 80th Bithday. Every one of the 12 guests said how fantastic the food was. The service was spot on and girls serving lovely and friendly. Would definitely go back.

Big big thankyou to the paddock. My mum's birthday meal was amazing, staff were spot on, compliments to the chef. Also thanks for going the extra mile with all the decoration 😚😚😚😚😚😚

Amazing food as ever beautiful steak and home made mash tasty vegetables. Stick a fork in me im done😊 .👌

Took mum for Mother’s Day , food was all homemade. Really good value and the service was spot on . (Chloe) . Can’t wait to go back

Food was not up to much . Had scamp there and it was not cooked properly. The mixed grill everything was black on the plate even the chips

I have Heard good things about this place. So I and the misses went for a meal. And wow the service Was excellent they couldn’t do enough they kept checking if everything was ok and that if we need more drinks. Our starters came and this is not like any other place they was amazing it was fresh and the taste was unbelievable. And when we finished our starters they came to clear our Plates and asked was we ready for our mains. We didn’t wait long for our mains at all five mins if that and when to mains came the food looked and tasted amazing. And the peppercorn sauce was the best I have ever tasted. We will definitely be going back soon. Thank you to all the staff who made it a very delightful Experience. We will be seeing you again soon.

Absolutely loved it. Definitely be back A*

We had a family party here and the food was good. Decent pizzas and drinks are reasonably priced . Would visit again .

Went to the Paddock for breakfast last Sunday. Great food at a good price and a drink included. Food cooked to order so not left drying up under heat lamps. A really pleasant and enjoyable experience which will be repeated.

Food was great staff were fantastic definitely be going again

Had a lovely Sunday lunch here today. Plenty of choice of food on the menu. Very clean and the staff very friendly. Good value for money

Extensive menu. Lots of choices for vegetarians as well. Quiet during our midweek lunch visit. Ideal venue for private party. Good value two course option.

Lovely food lovely staff definitely be going back didn’t wait to long for food gutted I couldn’t fit pudding in though but you literally get loads to eat

My sister booked this as a family meal for her hubbys birthday 28 of us 😄 food really good great selection and hot service great but a little cramped would recommend and would deffo go back 😄

I chose to eat here after hearing about the excellent food from friends.

This is the first time I’ve visited this restaurant in quite a few years and I wasn’t disappointed, the steak was gorgeous and the Stilton and port sauce was amazing. The young waitress worked so hard and was very attentive. This place is a little gem and we will definitely visit again soon.

Not very good today. Below average. Visited a couple of times last year and it was really good........nowhere near that standard today

Had a lovely Sunday lunch, Great food and loads of it and the staff very good my wife wanted some cheese sauce what was not on the menu they spoke to the chef no problem we will make you some, Would highly recommend the Paddock ( Lovely)

We went for Sunday Lunch, excellent food & service, nothing was too much trouble. Very reasonably priced, will definitely be going back, thoroughly recommended

Had a lovely meal staff were very helpful after our meal we all sat there having drinks and chatting staff did not hurry us out would go again

Visited for a Baby Shower get together meal. Staff put some decorations up that my mum provided but they did make up some games for free off their own back which I thought was really nice and thoughtful. Food was really nice, and plenty to choose from on the menu. Prices are reasonable and portion sizes ample. Only downfall was the there was no Gluten Free Menu available even after clarification many times and we was told there was one before visiting. A member of my party didn't want to risk being poorly so choose a packet of crisps instead or having a meal. Staff didn't really seem to clued up on the matter, Which put a downer on the night. Overall I would return for food as no complaints.

We chose The Paddock as it is local and has excellent car parking facilities. From the moment we walked in we received a very warm welcome. Despite there being 26 of us who had ordered a variety of different meals (from the the very large variety on their menu) the food was served quickly, efficiently and hot! The starters were a hit. Those who had the Bury Black Pudding were commenting on how delicious it was, there were favourable comments on the vegetable soup, my mushrooms were gorgeous and the mussels were a revelation!! My son who had ordered them said how tasty they were and the portion was so generous he was able to offer them around the table without feeling he'd done without. The mains were next with lots of oohing and ahing from those eating the cock and bull, my son loved his fajitas whilst my husband and I enjoyed a lovely portion of salmon with chilli glaze in white wine sauce. There was just one small hiccup whereby my brother received a well done steak when he had ordered a medium rare but I believe that this was due to another member of the group receiving his steak rather than any error in cooking - they have an excellent Chef. However, as soon as he mentioned it the waitress took it away and it was replaced with exactly what he had asked for quickly and without any fuss. This didn't in any way detract from the evening and my brother commented on how delicious his steak was. Once the mains were cleared the desserts arrived and I don't think I saw any dishes with anything left on/in them. This is a very child friendly restaurant (we had 3 children in high chairs and 3 children of infant school age) and we/they were all made to feel very welcome. In fact, the staff brought out colouring books and crayons after the meal for them. All in all this was a great evening for my son's birthday, all thanks to the staff at The Paddock. We were already talking about our next visit before we left!!

Met friends here for lunch today. Staff very nice and friendly. Dining room clean and tidy. Good fiod at reasonable prices. Would recommend

Lovely lunch today We all had fish &chips All fresh & lovely cooked -lovely local restaurant that well deserves to be supported Staff lovely &friendly -lady's name Kim We will be back

Just been for a little birthday lunch with a friend, the food and staff were both amazing. Very good service. All the food was extremely fresh and the home cut chips and onion rings were to die for! Well done Mags and Kim! Will defo being dining here on a regular basis.

not my first choice i must say .but the staff were helpful and pleasant, the meal was nice but i had set my heart on a carvery so a little bit let down.

Had a lovely meal for my friends 50th food was lovely we're not the easiest people to please Ur we had a good night thank you guys x

Beautiful home cooked food done to perfection. I had the lamb shank which was gorgeous and came with a lovely mint gravy. Partner had steak for £10 as thursday is steak night, it was massive, worth every penny and came with a chosen port and stilton sauce, he loved it.

Excellent staff kim was very welcoming food was lovely will definitely recommend it I had the Sunday lunch and my son had the mix grill

Excellent service kim was lovely

Enjoyed Sunday dinner an soup was lovely defenatetly go again xx

After seeing all the positive reviews on trip advisor, thought we'd give the paddock a go. Bit disappointed as we found the steak and chips very greasy. Wouldn't recommend if you are health conscious.

Thank you Kim and Mags for such a fantastic evening! The food - as always - was absolutely delicious! We were so well looked after by Kim too! Can’t wait to return! Love the new menu and all the veggie choices!

Good food served with a smile...will visit again

This was the first time we have visited and it won't be the last. Good food, lots of choice, nicely presented and great value. We were very well looked after by Kim who was efficient and friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed a lovely evening. Thank you Kim and the team.

We went to the paddock on 27th December with our family to celebrate a 21st birthday the food was fabulous this isn't the first time we've been here to ear we often get take away Sunday roasts and have been to have meals there on various occasions and always have a fantastic service the building is always clean and well presented the menu is good during the week between Christmas and New year the choice was still excellent thank you for ensuring we had a lovely time.

Simply one of the best places to eat in the St Helens area. All the food is cooked fresh and the portion sizes are generousl. The staff are welcoming and friendly. Nothing is too much for them. It's worth coming just to try the amazing Sunday lunches. This place is a hidden gem.

Just had a lovely meal at the paddock went with my husband after reading good reviews and it being just around the corner thought we would give it a try firstly this is pub food not restaurant but it is very nice pub food reasonably priced our waitress Kim was very nice and even though she was very busy tried to make sure we had everything we needed the only reason I didn't give it 5 points was my husband's fish batter ( the fish was the size of a whale ) was overdone but everything else was lovely would not stop us from returning and my husband particularly enjoyed his orange aero sundae

I travel around with my 92yrd disabled MUM to different places to eat on a daily basis.We enjoytravelling around.

Been for a meal today, the food was gorgeous, and The service was excellent, nothing was too much for Kim and she made us very welcome, will definitely be eating here again.

Loved our meal and Claire gave absolutely amazing service, we will be back. Lovely food, really good value xx

What a brilliant meal! Great service with a special mention to Claire who made my experience better with a gleaming smile and friendly chat. Would go again if Claire on.

Went in on a pit stop for work .. the food was beautiful all freshly made I think waitress said the chef at time was Clare A1 food you need to try

Went for a meal with my family and the food was great but the service was even better! Claire was very attentive and totally made my day by telling me I reminded her of her favourite song (the Lumineers - flowers in your hair) because I always wear flowers in my hair. She was so lovely and chatty and easy to talk to, and just made the visit really special

Brilliant service by Clare, made sure our enjoyment was upheld, did not feel pressured and she allowed us to enjoy our time here at the Paddock. Will return in line with Clare’s shifts.

Went to the paddock for Christmas dinner there was 8 adults a 10 year old and a 2 year old.

My husband and I went ro the Paddock for our christmas dinner the service was excellent Beth was our waitress and looked after us nothing was too much trouble the food was delicious and fresh we left happy with full tummys would definately recommend it.👌

We came to the paddock on 4th jan for the first time for my husbands birthday, we came with my son and niece, our meals where lovely all fresh home cooked meals, son was very impressed with the pizza and wants to go back for the larger one, , husband had a mixed grill (picture attached)and was defeated and couldnt finish it, the service from kim was brilliant, she couldnt do enough for us and made us feel very welcome, we will definately be returning to try the sunday lunch, thankyou for a very pleasent and enjoyable visit, x

Visited on Saturday 28th December 4 adults for dinner.

Always a warm welcome at the Paddock. Definitely an "arrive as a stranger, leave as a friend" sort of place. Service is always spot on, Mel and Paul are perfect hosts, and nothing is too much troyble. My husband loves the black pudding starter! The seafood starter is also worth a try for couples with a big appetite.

We went to the paddock for our Christmas dinner, this was the first year we decided to eat out and I am so glad we did. Meal was lovely and staff where very helpful and friendly. Thank you!

Lovely food, brilliant staff . Had a great time will be going again. Lots of choice .Lots of parking space

We have tried to find somewhere to have a nice traditional Sunday lunch. Here at last we have succeeded. We have now been 5 times and on each occasion the meals were excellent. We have been twice for mid week meals and again very good. I would recommend the stake.

Really nice and staff brilliant will be going again very soon

Excellent food, reasonably priced and very friendly members of staff. First time eating at The Paddock with family and would definitely recommend it to anyone. A very cosy atmosphere and delicious food that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. The staff members are forever smiling and making sure everyone is enjoying their food. I will definitely visit again.

Went with friends for a meal and was very impressed sevice was quick and the food was delicious, very well presented , well cooked and hot we were not rushed we all really enjoyed the meal and surroundings the bill arrived and was reasonably priced would definitely go again

Exceptional quality food as always

Called in today for a 2 course meal lovley home cooked food piping hot had soup lovley bowl very filling then gammon lovley food.Nice place great staff very attentive will defo go again.

Food very tasty. Vegetarian meal was good. However the homemade pie portion could have been slightly larger. We came with friends and eat quite a lot at various restaurants. Maybe also vegetarian menu could be expanded too. Friendly and helpful staff . Would eat there agsin.

Always great,nothing else to say really.

Lovely catch up with friends. Good food service poor

Fish nice Good veggie options Burgers horrible....not a sign of beef in there. Staff inattentive and barely visible....they seem to be allergic to the seating area. Wont be coming back....

Myself and my hubby go for sunday lunch every week,the food and service is great, the menu prices are very easy on the pocket x

Brilliant atmosphere lively,, lovely food

Ordered med rare filet and my partner had mixed grill. I can honestly say it was the driest piece of steak I’ve ever had. Deffo not med rare! My partners steak was practically incinerated. And he didn’t get the fries he’d asked for either. Nobody checked we were ok so I just ate what I could and left most of it. We told the waitress when she came to collect the plates but she didn’t say much. When we went to pay at the bar, the guy asked what was wrong and we explained that the steak was extremely over cooked. Only to be told that chef had ‘probed’ it and it was the right temp! The website says chef has 27 yrs experience.. but can’t cook steak!!?? Terrible and not even given discount off the meal. Just offered £10 voucher for next time that we refused as there won’t be a next time!

When to the paddock on Sunday 14/10/2018 had a great time food was delish the waitress was very good and friendly nothing was to much trouble good place to go for a Sunday treat and no washing up

Went tonight to celebrate our daughters 9th birthday ( her choice of restaurant) and again the food was outstanding. The carrot and coriander soup was lovely and thick with plenty of flavour. The 8oz rump steaks were much bigger than expected and cooked to perfection, just as requested. All home cooked food, delicious , wasn’t disappointed . Will most definitely be returning as food is fantastic and well worth the money .

As a family we visited The Paddock for my Granddaughter's birthday. We were seated quickly having booked earlier in the week.

The food is amazing, homecooked and fresh. Lovely staff, warm welcoming atmosphere, Ideal for any occassion

Can't wait to come back again soon , all food was lovely ( 7 people all 3 courses each) and the steak on stones are excellent! Child's chocolate sundae with the meal was huge well worth it

Lovely food and lovely atmosphere The cajun chicken was delicious generous portion aswell 🙂 my partner had the paddock burger and it was " the nicest burger he has tasted " Will definitely be returning.

Have been here quite a few times and have never been disappointed. The food and portions are to be seen. I can't eat a lot so order the child's roast, believe me if that was a child's portion I would hate to see the adults, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, the gravy is to die for. Would highly recommend

We called in yesterday late afternoon (07/10/18) on the off chance of a table I am so glad we did From the welcome of the staff to the brilliant menu couldn't fault it I stuck with the Sunday Lunch menu brilliant hot and tasty my hubby had the mixed grill was informed that they had run out of one of the components but was offered extra on other items really enjoyed it and will be back again

Came here tonight for the first time the food was beautiful friendly staff and considering there was a large party in as well as us we didn't have to wait long to.be served defiantly will be going here again thank you

Me and my wife have be many many times and very had a bad meal. The sunday dinner is lush and the steak stone a must have. We have taken family and friends for birthdays, nights out etc and never been disappointed. The staff are great and nothing is ever to much trouble. Would go back every week if I could .

Amazing food, friendly staff, excellent service, compliments to the chef. We was even able to meet the chef and she checked if our food was okay.

We went to the paddock for a date night . Fabulous food and very friendly. My partner had the steak on a stone which he loved , new favourite place

I can’t recommend this lovely restaurant enough. Such a relaxing atmosphere and the food couldn’t be faulted. 2 of our group attempted the burger challenge and although both of them failed it they couldn’t believe how delicious all the food actually was. I had the fillet steak on the cooking stone which was lovely too and came with home cooked chips.

Saw the steak stones advertised on Facebook and decided to give it a go, really enjoyed it , mussels to start were fab and the the steak stones Homemade chips where great . My friend had the large cod special . And we finished with sticky pudding. Lovely little place

Had a lovely meal on Greek night really tasty. Been several times now also on steak night which was cooked to perfection.

Went to sample the greek menu for a change as we usually have the delicious sunday lunch, went with my hubby really tasty food lovely staff will deffo be going again 👍

Enjoyed the food staff pleasant polite and professional

Even though there was a delay (which we were informed about) this did not detract from our first experience at The Paddock. The staff were friendly and the food was great. Definitely the best steak we'd had in ages, and my first try at steak on hot rocks. The mustard had a lovely flavour, the skin on chips were delicious and great portion sizes. Definitely somewhere we'd return to.

Myself and my friend went for afternoon lunch and this place was brilliant. Friendly staff who couldn't do enough for us and attention to detail to make sure we were happy with everything. we had the steak on hot rocks and we both commented that they were the best steaks we had in a long time. Well done to all the staff at the Paddock. We had a lovely afternoon with lovely food and friendly service. We will definitely recommend this place and we will return.

Had a lovely meal at the paddock this evening Home cooked fresh very friendly. Normally keep to Restaurants I know but Hurd very good reviews about it couldn’t fault a thing definitely be going back.

Great home made food along with friendly helpful staff.

Myself and my husband went for a evening meal both had steak etc everything was cold apart from the chips and the plate was cold, when we were asked if everything was OK we told the waitress it was cold so she took it away and after about ten minutes brought us a fresh meal which was a little better but my husbands steak which he asked for medium rare was rare and loads of grizzle don't think we will return
