The Poacher Pub in Warrington

What a great meal reasonably priced and lovely staff! Well done!

Premier inn breakfast wasnt great, service was poor and over charged for a 3rd breakfast.

Great to catch up with friends for a couple of hours once a week and sort the world out. Nice to see some new faces drinking there too. Pubs need people ...

Got a takeout, first time I’ve tried Birchwood Spice. Food is as good as anywhere else I’ve been, but the price makes it outstandingly good value for money👍🏾and will be my new eat in or takeout spot from now on 👌🏾. Was very impressed guys thanks. Lee.

Had a pint while waiting for my meal, the food was fantastic as usual, five star ⭐ never disappointed, staff are friendly, and the food is stunning.... In the words of Arnold " I'll be back"

Absolutely amazing food and the staff are so good we had a party of 12 and it was no trouble for the staff everything was hot and served perfect we even had a couple of complimentary sides we will be back

Thank you guys for an excellent evening meal food was amazing will recommend it to my Edinburgh friends and tell them they must visit!!!!

Landlady not the best bit miserable Didn't eat there but the other side of the pub was an Indian restaurant smelt nice and looked lovely food although I never tried it

We love coming here for food. Beautifuly cooked Indian food. You get what you pay for. Staff are very friendly and attentive.

We visited for the Indian restaurant in the pub and the food and service was excellent 👌

Amazing food and staff, always have a great meal here

It's a lovely place to eat. Great food for a very affordable price.

The bar food and atmosphere are great and with live sport also makes The Poacher a great place and having friend's whom love local, you know you will never be disappointed!

Really tasty and the service was great well priced.

1st class food and 1st class staff

We went to birchwood spice which colocates with the pub. Food was amazing. I recommend the salmon

We usually get a takeaway but decided to eat in for a change.... it was quite busy for a midweek but as usual service was great. Food as gorgeous as ever 😋

Great food excellent service love this place.

Excellent Pub. Has Indian restaurant in other half of the building. Very Clean. Good for watching sports

Local pub - staff really nice, clean and indian restaurant great!

Good pub with an excellent Indian curry house attached. The food was superb and plentiful. Superb value for money, and the staff were great. What a find.

Comfortable community local, great Indian food! Sports TV, fantastic staff...well worth a visit 👍

Never had a bad meal & the staff are exceptional! Our first choice restaurant 😋

Amazing pub and staff! If you want a friendly environment come here. I chose to come here over king street xxx

Lovely pub with a nice atmosphere, good food and good prices. Bar staff Kelly and Lewis are very accommodating and kind. Proud to call it my local.

Guinness... Too good so hard to leave ..

Had a fab meal at Birchwood Spice and a couple of IPA's to wash it down with. Great meal, great atmosphere and we will definitely be back

A great little place for a curry. Just a shame the curry bit of the pub is moving.

Staff always attentive. Food always to a high standard. Good value for money👍

Not dog friendly, Indian food only

Ordered a few take aways from birchwood spice and always impressed. Generous portion sizes, great quality with expert service. Looking forward to dining in tonight.

Can't fault this restaurant & its staff excellent service and the food is gorgeous 😀

Birchwood Spice are based here, first class Indian Cuisine and Onion Bhaji that are out of this world. A must for Indian food lovers.

Really good quality and super tasty Indian food. Good selection of beers and bottles and spirits. Always got the footy on. Restaurant is separate to pub but ya can sit in pub and eat. Staff are great, really friendly and good service

Fab food! Fab atmosphere! Staff were very efficient & friendly. Booked again for our last supper through lockdown😂

Always enjoy coming here, the food is lovely and the staff are very welcoming, 1 of my favourite pubs. See you soooon guy's..

Very friendly and service was excellent.

Excellent food and service. The staff are wonderful. I would recommend going with a good appetite as the portion sizes are very generous! I was quite full after the starter. I would recommend Birchwood Spice 100%

Best Indian ive had in a long time both my children loved it too!

This is part of birchwood spice and although it's an very nice I probably wouldn't go there unless eating as it is a bit out of my way but still worth a visit if you are local very nice ale

Food, service and atmosphere were great.

Wining and dining. Quality food.

Went with a friend and her 2 nieces for impromptu meal. Great food and good service. Definitely worth a try.

Brilliant for food and lovely staff

Really good place nice and cozy

Went for a meal with family ,food fantastic and first rate service thanks to all the staff.

there is a new Indian restaurant using part of the Poacher pub, the food and service is excellent it is called ( Birchwood Spice Pub) there is a varied menu and the price is really good, also the quality of a pint is spot on. the staff in the restaurant bring your drinks to your table as order them. considering your bill is comprised of meal and bar bill, this is an extra service.

Had great Indian meal here. This pub makes the most of it's large bar area showing the football and offering sensible prices then have a Fab Indian meal sit in or takeaway. Ample parking great place two mins off motorway.

The Poacher pub in Gorse Covert Warrington has teamed up with a great bunch of Indian guys to become the Birchwood Spice pub and restaurant. My wife and I have now eaten there on 4 occasions and each time the food and service has been fantastic We recommend you give it a try.

Great food presented well. Great service and great price

Great food and HAPPY attentive staff. A full Indian Restaurant inside a pub. Who could ask for more. Thank you

Brilliant atmosphere. Friendly punters and staff. Reasonably priced drinks. Not too crowded but still lively. Has an Indian restaurant attached (!) Which serves really great food to eat in or take away.

Lunch service was good. Lunchtime Menu limited.

Nice relaxed welcoming atmosphere , decent food , jobs a gooden !

Really good food with the new Birchwood Spice now located here

Very friendly place to go. Great bunch of people. Good selection of beers wines and spirits. I'll definitely visit it again soon. (November) Since my last review, the Poacher has seen a transformation, it is now incorporating a fine Indian restaurant, which also has a takeaway facility. Just when you think it can't get better.!

Forget what you know about the poacher. The bar is split into traditional pub and Indian restaurant and OMG the chef is amazing. I challenge you to not like the food.

Birchwood Spice is a fantastic Indian Restaurant that has taken over part of the pub and is open daily. The food and service is excellent.

There is now an Indian Restaurant based at the Poacher called " Birchwood Spice ". The food was excellent, as was the service. Reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Great to see Birchwood Spice opening in the Poacher - unfortunately maybe a bit too handy Food looks great, will be there soon.

What an absolute dive! Despite being in a lovely area of Warrington this is one of the worst looking pubs exterior and interior wise. Also despite advertising on website and all over the outside of the pub that they do food they actually don't! A complete and utter waste of time! Avoid!

A decent local pub. A little off the beaten track thought. Good food and a friendly atmosphere.

Nothing wrong with it. Went for a pint so can't really comment on anything else.

Quite during the day but had a very nice all day breakfast, would definitely pop in again

I was here today for my friend's baby shower. Haven't been for a while, the pub has been totally refurbished and is really welcoming. The staff are super friendly and accommodating! Will definitely be returning soon and highly recommend.

Lovely friendly pub. Food good as well.

First time visit with family ,food very good,friendly and welcoming would Recommend ..

Very slow service from the kitchen (over an hour), poor communication regarding sold out items. We sent the nachos back to be retopped and it took another 20mins.. Bar staff were pleasant and helpful.

Went to watch the last day of the football season. Bought two pints. A random toddler spills entire pint all over my jeans. Family in question offer some baby wipes, but no apology. Stating “the table Is wonky “. Bar girl offers fresh pint and baby wipes. Manager cancels this as it would drain his beer stocks. Does diddly squat rudely and smugly , offers me nothing in my soaking wet Levi’s and walks off. Been a customer here for 30 years. Will never enter again. Crucifixion is too good for you.

Brilliant atmosphere,very friendly staff Highly recommended

Nice local pub. Food is standard pub food, but what they do is presented well and tastes good. It's not an ale/CAMRA pub, but you should find something you like. Nicely decorated and furniture following the recent refurbushment.

Friendly pub friendly staff, food not brilliant

Went twice recently and enjoyed it. Landlord a character. Food catered but exceptional value and served promptly. A mixed grill was huge and cooked well.

It's good but could be cleaned more often. Small kid's area could be larger as 3 years old may get bored quite easily and want to go to the large part which isn't suitable for smaller ones.

Ran out of 2 types of beer in 1 night

Friendly, clean, good food, nice little pub. There is a large parking facility at the rear of the premises and a small shop about ten yards away. Enjoy your day ☺

1st experience of this pub, very warm a friendly staff

Good snacks one staff that's working tonight good lol

No real ale. This is supposed to be a pub!

Got locked in a toilet covered in sick on the piss up well ayeee m8

The football was on so it was a bit rowdy. Nice refurb though. The menu does not have many vegetarian or vegan options.

Live round the corner but not been in here for about 20 years! Great refurb, lovely atmosphere...families , couples, friends ...quiet tables if you want, tv if you want, good service at the bar, great prices and excellent selection of beer. Good looking simple menu. A good pub we can walk to...happy days!

Good wheelchair access and disabled toilet. Food basic pub grub but hot and presented ok. Service a little slow but an apology was given and we weren't in any rush.

Nothing special like all pubs in the area.

Amazing food, steak was cooked to perfection, everything was lovely, and service was fab. Definitely be coming again.

Ok for an everyday meal. Good place of you want to watch sport on TV.

Great food at Poacher Friday - Patrick's salt & pepper chicken was gorgeous....would highly recommend...

Pleasantly surprised food was excellent service fantastic lovely and clean will definitely visit again

Nothing special ! No atmosphere at all ! Food just ok . Wouldn't go back

Fairly average local pub. Good sized portions of food.

It was fine. My wife enjoyed her steak and I had the battered halloumi which was nice. The menu is a bit limited.

Nice pub has bands on, watched a brilliant band there called "TheTones." Amazing group, really good music.

Not a very big menu. Went on a Sunday for the past and was told they weren't doing them because it was too hot!

Had a few nights there recently. very friendly staff and a late bar. food was good quality and served very quickly. all round very nice pub.

Nice friendly atmosphere food basic but very nice at a reasonable price staff friendly service was very good but it wasn't a busy time I will definitely call again.

Ignorant bar staff that completely ignore you when you’re stood at the bar to serve locals first even though they have been waiting longer. Service is poor at the best of times even when there aren’t many people in. In nearly 30 years of visiting this pub I can honestly say service has never been so bad!

We decided to make the most of the nice evening and went for a couple of drinks sat outside the pub. We then decided to stay and have our meal. We went inside to eat. The food was lovely can recommend the chicken burger and the gammon . Service was great will be going back again soon.

Excellent pub nothing is to much trouble

Its 30 years since I have been in here. Could be another 30 before I go in again. Food not as described. Salad was missing of the burger. Had to ask for it. Bread and butter was bread and some sort of spread, not butter.

Great service, lovely food. Looks lovely since the much needed refurb. Keep up with the great work and it'll be a great place to go
