The Victoria in St. Helens

Always loved this pub even from the harry pinner years, rustic with a nice beer garden, good beer selection.

Amazing local venue with a very welcoming atmosphere 😊 lovely community pub with lovely staff and regulars thank you Maria for turning this place around .. you are a absolute star and mean a lot to everyone that comes to your pub 🥹❤️

Left a five star review when I first went in. Unfortunately if the land lady isn't there the beer is terrible. I was served a pint and told that it was going to be flat. Very disappointed.

Maria is the best land lord in the north west absolute legend

What an amazing venue, huge outdoor seating and play area for the children and sporting events... With enough free carparking for about 40 cars Came here to do some work this morning and found another one of Punch Taverns hidden gems Maria was a great host, opened up early for me even after a late finish... Thank you 🤗 Sandra was busy cleaning making everywhere ship shape after a busy night... Doing a fantastic job, as photos show The Victoria is looking bright and clean. The climbing frame and abundance of safe (enclosed) grassy playing areas, along with the covered outside seating and smoking areas, makes this an ideal location to entertain the kids while enjoying the drinks and facilities such as live sports, darts and pool Maria said she is not serving menu food currently (This may change in the future) but still a great looking place for some quality family time. 😎

Fantastic pub, always clean, great staff, fantastic atmosphere 👍🏻 couldn’t ask for more from a local!

The Victoria is the best Pub in the area great entertainment mixed aged groups attend and fair prices on the drinks people go to the Victoria to enjoy the local company and Maria the landlady is a great host with Karen and the team x

The Victoria pub is a hidden gem for families looking for a cosy and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. The kids loved the children's menu and enjoyed playing in the designated family area. Overall, a wonderful experience for the whole family.

A lovely friendly pub with friendly staff and they also make an effort to make everyone feel welcome and put on great events

Landlord very helpful told us to take my bike to the beer garden enjoyed a couple of beers

Best landlandy and staff are excellent need kp nuts and the old plougmans lunches please

Beautiful staff great atmosphere will come back recommended 5* Advice KP nuts behind the bar please 🤞

An absolute blast and a ton of fun for a local pub. 10/10 Highly recommend, great staff and the locals are great to have a chat with or have a game of Pool!

Great staff and even better customers, highly recommended for couples singles and families alike

Sat here now in garden had three different lagers calsberg, Heineken and lastly hoping Stella better but each drink been flat and another chap on next table heard me and said he was the same, won’t be back

Always welcoming and friendly brilliant service

Total dive bar people openly taking drugs even there own bar staff go in to the back and strong smell of cannabis where people are smoking not a very nice place

Beer was good & very reasonable priced, toilets were clean, they have live football on, if you want a quiet drink I wouldn't recommend this pub as there were alot of kids chasing round near to where I was sitting.

This pub holds a really crap atmosphere, was in over christmas and it was so dull i think it’s seen a lot better days. The barmaids have no personality and look miserable as sin, one girl looked like she would rather be anywhere but there and had a face of thunder. I asked for a drink and she just grunted at me and awkwardly poured me a pint. Will defo not be going again.

very bad customer service.. one girl, think she was called Timm was very rude and abrupt and was consistently laughing with her friend instead of serving us. Won’t be visiting again, made to feel very unwelcome and a definite lack of professionalism is visible.

Best pub in newton, staff are brilliant!

amazing pub. maria is brilliant and so lovely. staff is amazing. had the best night! loved my night so much.

Amazing pub. I came here with my family and mrs for the football. We all had an excellent night! Maria is an excellent host

Friendly staff with a good menu. Good Sunday dinner.

Booked a table for 2 at 7pm...received a confirmation. We booked a taxi , got dropped off at the door, went to the bar to be told they stopped serving food at 4pm! I explained I'd booked and recd a confirmation but was told no food. I asked why no one had let me know and was told all bookings go through to landlady's email. So 7pm, no food, no transport and a diabetic who needs to have something to eat...not good at all. We ended up at Newton Grill just down the road and decided to give them our hard earned cash. We will defo go for food again to Newton Grill as it was lovely but won't go back to Victoria for food as I'd rather give my money to a business that cares for its customers.

Great little pub for families, couples or just to have a drink. Would come here again

We attended a 37th birthday party, and we were made so welcome by the locals, staff & those attending the party. It was an amazing atmosphere 👏 thanks

We ordered the big fish fish and chips there was nothing big about the fish you was meant to get a battered sausage no battered sausage it says pickled onion no pickles small portion not good 1st pic menu pic 2nd pic what we got won't be going back

Love this place. Great staff. Great people. Great atmosphere

Good local pub, great selection of beers.

Nice and clean, bar staff lovely and the food is really nice. Went last Friday and the locals there were lovely.

Service was good. The waiters were very pleasant., and helpful. I enjoyed my meal. I shall be going back again.

Fab bunch of people and a good laugh

Attended funeral wake. Staff were fabulous. Pub seats a bit tired but the day was well organised

Very bad language from 1 of the bar maids, constant swearing and getting drunk while on shift and lack of professionalism, i used to go in regular but i wont be spending another penny in there, the majority of the staff nice just the odd ones who just flirt with the punters at the bar while people are waiting to be served. Food took far to long and was cold when i got it. Stay clear

Very nice pub with great choice of drinks. Rear garden really nice and great play area for little peeps. Well worth a visit. Staff really nice too.

Great food, reasonably priced drinks. Fantastic play area in large beer garden.

Very friendly and efficient staff clean pub and toilets

What a lovely lively place.. Say hi to chucky from us..

We booked a table for Saturday night. We got there ordered drinks at the bar. There were 3 girls behind bar none knew what there were doing. It took ages to get drinks. Baileys they had to get from somewhere, took 5 min! We sat down and the 2 drinks with lemonade tasted awfull. Went back to bar to get told that the lemonade is off. So we got new drinks after she went into cellar to put new lemonade on. No apology, nothing. The the food arrived after 50 min. The Beef Chilly looked like pulled Beef with Beans, the Mac/Cheese was cold but the best was the medium Steak. The Chips and Peas were swimming in blood as the Steak was rare. So I went and gave it back to the same girl with the off Lemonade. She said sorry this time and took it back into the kitchen. We waited 15 min as we thought she would come back and offer us something else to eat but nothing happened. So I went to Bar again and asked to speak to Kath the owner. When she came back out the kitchen the Bar girl said that Kath was too busy to come out with food orders and we could have a refund for the Steak ! There was nobody else sitting and ordering any food or even eating in there. Now we know why. The customer service is none existent, the owner couldnt be bothered less … We were gonna book there for Christmas but we will give it a miss. With this terrible attitude and food none of us is going there again. So avoid if you don’t want to waste your time and money

Nice friendly pub with huge beer garden and kids play area

Great nights here locals lovely

Great kids area, the seating could be updated tho

Meet my mate, , who has a 5 year old, he love playing on the play area, very family friendly, good beer not expensive! Good mix of people!

Great place and reasonable prices, great for a night out with plenty entertainment for all, staff are lovely and welcome everyone and sports are on and a great garden if the sun is out

Since it's been taken over it much improved

Went Friday tea time to chill and let the grandkids have a play outside. Ordered our drinks and food and went and sat in the beer garden. Was great and had a very chilled time. I had the mega burger and chips. The food was great and I can recommend what I had. We decided to try it on Sunday afternoon. See my next review.

Had a table booked for 6 then when we arrived the kitchen was closed at 6 lol. Staff were quite impolite about it. A guy ran around with his top off lol.

1 star is generous for this place. Booked a table at 4pm on the 13th March. When we arrived we got told we couldn't have a table in the restaurant (which we had booked) but could sit in the snug which was next to the toilets and smelt and then got told we couldn't even order food until 4:30........so what was the point in me booking a table for 4? Staff didn't seem bothered or offer an apology or free drink, their attitude was we are busy so get on with it. I appreciate thats it's a pub and not a fancy restaurant but if you are going ask people to book a table you should honour that booking and good manners cost nothing.

Great service and good food at reasonable price! Friendly staff Catherine took really good care of us! She introduced us to the nearby attractions after knowing we are new to this area, had a chit chat with us and made sure we are comfortable! Food is delicious, apple pie is yummy! A good place to hangout!

I had a fantastic berger Bacon and cheese amazing

We went to the Victoria on Saturday Night for our Christmas meal. Unfortunately 3 people had to cancel last minute but Manager was really nice about it and did not charge for them. The food and service were excellent. Steaks were cooked spot on and the special made Nut Roast for our Vegetarian was delicious. The drinks are reasonable priced and we had a great Night. Manager and Staff are lovely and we would definitely book there again. Thank you so much x

Good pub food as expected. Nice clean pub areas.

A really nice pub with a real friendly vibe & great beer at great prices

Made very welcome. Nice and clean.

Fabulous food, very attentive staff. Thank you 🥰. We were truly thankful to all staff on what was a sad occasion (funeral) but we were thankful for all the attention to detail re the ambience - thank you all staff xxx

I seriously cannot say a bad word about this place kath and her team absolutely go above and beyond on every visit! I'm not a pub person but I do love coming here nice food nice drinks amazing events! Had a blast tonight at the charity bingo can't wait for the next one!

Used to be my local but hadn't been in since moving to Devon 21years ago. Has under gone a refurbishment at some point and improved an already excellent local hostelry, one member of staff recognised me after that long. The service is as good as ever, will definitely pop in again when in the area.

Lovely staff, food good quality for the price. Nice beer garden with play area for children

Been with my son and a friend we all had meals they were delicious great service and friendly service

Great place, fab staff. I ordered a cheese and bacon burger. It was served with chips and burger sauce. Everything was really good, but there was no offer of salt and vinegar other than that highly recommended.

Safe ,great service ,food great and child friendly with kids play area.

Really nice place, the staff are lovely. Decent pint and reasonable. We didnt eat but the food coming out looked nice.

Love the Victoria. The staff are great and the food was good.

Pulled back from brink of desaster 2yr ago managers seem to have finally got it right drinks still a tad expensive for area but you never know with new estates opening all the time. Food not sure too dear for me but a pleasant atmosphere in all.

Family friendly place Would recommend

Excellent place for a few beers with friends or family, or out with the kids, the play area is fabulous. Love this pub and the new managers & team are brilliant. Well done!

Friendly local community-focused pub

We were told that there would be half hour wait for food, which is ok. During that time we saw others being served great looking food that they obviously enjoyed. I saw the chef come out to speak to a customers about their allergies and how she could do special batter for their fish. This was great and made me look forward to our meals arriving. All looked great. Then ours arrived ! Not impressed ! Only 1 small sausage, burnt half tomato then burnt black bacon hidden underneath the egg!! Both of our breakfasts were the same. Wish we had chosen different meal as they looked much better.

Went the Victoria for our works do. Turkey dinner was delicious. Plenty of Turkey side of mixed veg and proper roast potatoes and proper gravy. All served nice and hot and Christmas pud. Staff was lovely very friendly couldn't do enough for us. Disco was very good and a girl got up to sing she had a beautiful voice. Catherine the manager is lovely made us very welcome.very enjoyable party.

Been to eat at the Victoria a couple of times now and have not been disappointed. Great value for money,food was really good and my son had a lot of fun in the out door play area. Thanks you all the friendly staff for hosting...

Extremely good value. However the gravy was congealed and poured over the meal and not very hot. Would have been better served in a gravy boat

Loads of fun, good bar service.

Friendly staff with a good atmosphere

Recently refurbished, has a friendly atmosphere. This is a family friendly environment with play area outside. It offers good food at reasonable prices. A good ace to pop in and have a drink.

Nice friendly local pub. Clean eating area inside and out. Great menu with deals every day

Came here for the first time today. The food was amazing, massive portions, 3 starters for £6.95 & I made the mistake of getting a main meal as well & couldn’t eat it all. The salt & pepper chips are better than any Chinese I’ve...

Nice hot meals well worth the price

My good friend took me for lunch at the The Victoria Inn, Newton le Willows recently, this was my first time going there; I must say that I was very impressed with how friendly and helpful all the staff were, they food was presented very well and tasted delicious, the proportions were excellent and wonderful value for money. The ambience and interior decor was very clean and welcoming, and the outside was very impressive especially the play area for children was a brilliant layout and looks very safe too; the lawn area was very green and lush and all the abundant table seating areas were well spaced out! I will certainly be calling to visit again in the near future! :)

First time visit since its been done up and very pleasantly surprised. Very tastefully decorated and efficient staff.

First time in many yrs at victoria. Food was lovely. Waitress friendly. But had run out of gin...

Great place for a good meal and drink

Ace beer garden food ok just missing the welcoming feel.

Mainly went for the kids play area but the food and service were excellent. Very friendly staff and steak cooked perfectly. Lovely decor and excellent value - will definitely return
