The Wellington Inn in Halton

I am reading the Welly reviews over here in America (I saw a sign in the movie Educating Rita, Broadheath Tr is where she lived so I was checking the Google Maps and came across this pub) I have to say it seems like the customers at the Welly either love it or have had a bad experience. Interesting-wonder why? Harry in Michigan, USA (looks like I cant post unless I lie about being there. I will fib a little-food photos look great)

Some good live entertainment on at the weekends. Good atmosphere!

Lovely staff 2 big pizzas and chips fed 5 kids nice atmosphere and beer shall be returning again a great local pub also dog friendly with treats on the bar

staff are good and service is good

I walked into the bar and on two occasions the bar person was eating fast food and messing with their phones, So I walked straight back out again and they probably didn't even notice that I was waiting tobe served,

Had a lovely day out elsewhere then went here!!! I was served with a fly in my drink not even touched the glass and I asked for it to be replaced omg is all I can say. The carry on just to get a fresh drink you would think I had drank half or been outside and put the fly in myself. Customer service is a disgrace. I was offered to have the fly taken out and a new glass. Flies land on you know what and you offer a new glass? Hmm what would it be like to have food there. Perhaps the flies are blended in to your burger etc as the are obviously okay by their standards. I did after much debate and a phone call to the owner by the bar staff get a fresh drink after half hour. I spent many a time in this pub over £200. Each time. I wont be again . Never heard anything like that im my life. Worked many pubs in my life, would never serve a drink with a fly or refuse to replace it when the customer hasn't even taken the glass away. Cctv fly in drink, customer not touched!!! Get a grip, won't be back thanks!!!

My wife and I brought our grandson on a little trip down memory lane , as I lived in this pub from 1959 when I was 7 yrs old until I was about 24. I could hardly recognise the place , I know things change but from being your classic country pub full of charm and serving great food at lunch time , this place looks run down , the gents toilets we’re disgusting 🤮. I got my grandson a cheeseburger with chips , the burger was o.k , the chips weren’t cooked properly…yuk. Needless to say we won’t be going back , and I will press the memory recall button of days gone and happy times.

Nice pub Nice bar staff food very basic

Proper traditional pub, lovely staff, and great to call it our 'local.'

The Wellington is a great place for anyone who wants a nice quiet drink or a lovely pub meal or a great game of pool 🎱 or a Catchup with the days sports, for all you football fans out there. The staff are amazing and very helpful and friendly and always willing to help you with any requirements that you may have. So great experience overall and reasonable prices ££

I went to.a party there the food was bad the bar had hardly and spirts in there the toilets are bad it badley needs decorating if u want food prising

Friendly pub, cheap drinks, lovely Xmas tree and friendly staff. Had mozzarella sticks- crispy and fresh. Good pool table.

Asked the staff what time the kitchen closed! Was told 19:30. Ordered food at 19:10 and money taken, no food by 20:00. Asked when my food was coming, was told the kitchen was closed, I said I ordered before the kitchen closed, staff went to check, staff member came back and shook her head (meaning food wasnt coming). Took 2 more hours to get refunded! Mens toilets half a inch deep (water and/or pee) both hot water taps do not work, hand dryer does not work. It's alright for a quick pint, avoid for food, fun, customer service. Even the locals where saying how bad it has gone and didn't blame me if I didn't come back.

Nice friendly local pub with really friendly staff and atmosphere

waited for 1 and half hour with my friend and then they came up to us there is no more food left!!!

Nice place, Friendly Staff, also have live entertainment on the weekends , was busy on Saturday

Very friendly people... Kitchen lovely and clean... They were preparing a buffet for a funeral and the food looked fantastic A really nice place to relax... Play pool, throw some darts. Lots of locals in enjoying the sports and drinks.

Great staff great food good beer.

Good atmosphere, attentive staff.

Ate here on a Sunday lunchtime, opting for the carvery as I thought it'd be quick (I had my 2 children with me). Despite ordering before it got busy, my meal took 45 minutes to prepare. They only brought the kids meal out slightly earlier when I asked. When I enquired after my food the staff were apologetic but I was told 'there were a lot of people eating' (maybe, but I ordered before the vast majority of them) and each carvery 'was made fresh'. When it finally arrived the chichen was tough and unappetising, it could have been taken out of the oven sooner and the veg was hit and miss - some of the carrots and cauliflower were undercooked. Had I been asked, I would have given feedback about this at the time, but noone did, despite our table being cleared. It would have perhaps shown a bit of goodwill to offer us a free round of drinks (we were only drinking soft drinks!) or maybe a dessert, on the house, but nothing like that was forthcoming. Needless to say we didn't bother ordering desserts and won't be eating here again.

Lovely pub nice people good atmosphere

What a waste of money will never be eating here again like eating an old boot. The food was unbelievably bad.

Welly Wednesday. Always a good night.

Nice food but a limited menu. Traditional boozer

Great pub, nice atmosphere. Excellent open mic night every Wednesday run by the very talented Jenny Colquitt. Highly recommended!

Nice pub, food atomsphere, good food

11 of us come and ordered food. The worst food I have ever been served in my life. Ordered loaded fries, raw frozen chips served on blue paper: the cheese then melted and stuck to the paper leaving blue dye on the food. My son refused to eat the chicken nuggets and said they were still frozen in side. Disgusting.

Very friendly pub very good food and pool and darts bonus 😁

Food was tasteless. Starter arrived with the meal.

It was a very good meal and it was very clean

Good staff,enjoyed the karaoke,have also eaten here the food is above other average pubs,late bar Fridays are good 😊

home from home delicious food fabulous and attentive staff x

Very nice pub outdoor seating and carpark

Went here for my daughters birthday, even though it was very busy the staff were very friendly and no queues

Real nice pub if you wanna go for a quiet drink

needs a good clean out side service was good

Very welcoming decent pub.will go again

Take their licence away, do they even know about covid, never again. ☹️☹️, gave it a 2nd chance but they failed miserably, still stick to carpet when walking through, surely if you've got pets in these premises you should keep them away from food and drink, basic hygiene.

Good service and nice welcome Reccomend

Great food great staff what more could you ask for

What a hole, seen cat walking out of kitchen, says it all. Wipe your feet on the way out. Disgraceful

these are the only proper venue i have found to be sticking to covid rules thank you for an enjoyable visit to owners and staff

Was really sceptical about going to a pub (this is my local) in this climate. I shouldn't have worried. All the safety measures were adhered to by staff who were impeccable and efficient. Well done Welly staff 👏

Poor standards, dinghy and in need of a refurb, atmosphere lacking. Bar service was quick and friendly, but food took over an hour and was as poor as the choice on the menu. No communication and topped off by waiting another 15 minutes wait before being told they had none of the desserts for kids that they'd taken the order for, surely it only takes 1 minute to look in the freezer

The Wellington inn has been a local favourite for many years and I have had the pleasure of watching it evolve with the times. Upon todays visit we where greeted by friendly staff and shown to our table. All social distancing measures had been put in place to ensure customers safety. Our group ordered starters and a main course each. The food was served promptly and was very well presented. The foods portion size was more than ample and very tasty. We will definitely be eating there again.

Went in to see what it was like, not too good the carpet hasn't been cleaned for a while as you could follow the slug trails across the floor and that put the wife off straight away, food was mediocre nothing to write home about, don't think we'll be going back there again...

Great pub can't say no more staff friendly and never any drama 5 stars

Food is excellent Berger & chips the best

Was probably 5 Star when first built, but has been left in the 70s. Wonderful staff an rooms cleaned daily, that's why I think it gets a 3 Star rating.

Lovely meal. Reasonably priced. Good atmosphere

Excellent food, service and overall lovely pub.

Fab food great service and insane price on a Monday... Have visited pub few times over last few weeks different days and times, not had a bad meal, compliments to the chef... Mad Monday is £5 a meal... Can also recommend fish Friday... Can upgrade to chippy meal which as well as fish n chips also includes battered sausage gravy and bread & butter all for 6.50, new chef has taken over I would say within last 6 month or so definitely an improvement would definitely recommend a visit :)

Nice food and beer always spot on

Not been for a while, younger generation place. Noticeable broken glass around the area from broken bottles on both sides of prescot road around this pub, Which is not good for people walking dogs in area. Use to be a bit noisy on Friday and Saturday with live groups on in past. I would not use it as my local.

It's ok the foods lovely can bring kids and a pool table

Didn't enjoy the food here today. Very kid friendly thou my boys had fun. Will maybe give it one more go

I don't live too far from the Welly but its just far enough away that it's awkward to walk to. However coming back from town we decided to call in today. Drinks are cheap and although we didn't eat the food looked good and was reasonably priced. I will have something to eat next time.

Bar staff taken our drinks without telling us it was last orders and then kicked us out without letting us finish our drink that we paid for. This was all whilst swearing and showing no manners towards customers

Nice pub, big pub . no my local so don't know any more

Really nice place after a game of football which they put some really nice food on for both teams and it was greatly priced and great atmoshere

Excellent place Staff outstanding. Food superior. Recommend highly.

christmas 3 course meal was delicious lovely friendly staff

We love the welly my dog who's been going there since she was a pup thinks she owns the gaff we love the staff an the manager food good as well

Not very nice to be honest needs updating

Arrived with friends to have a bite to eat and found the staff very pleasant On a Monday anything on the menu £5 Ordered two mixed grills And found them great value for the mouny Highly recommend

Not in the Wellington in the United services club next door great ale which is cheaper than the Wellington pub plus live entertainment, and a sports bar.

Very friendly and a calm place to relax

Went with a friend for a coffee, not the best white coffee I've had.

Mixed grill.. normally £10.95 is only £5.00 on a monday... I haven't seen anyone finish one so far, they are huge!

came with a family of 10 people sat in the beer garden (the car park). ordered food asked for it all to come out together, as there was three different orders. To much to ask as they all came out at different times, the 1st lot had finished b4 the 2nd lot arrived and so on.Meals wrong and missing took 45mins to get the childrens meals, they were the last to arrive so everyone had finished before the childrens had arrived.On a good note it was cheap for the beer.

Fantastic pub great staff great food fun and exciting atmosphere

Asked bar person for Disabled toilets answer not got one . Had to leave early

Classic local pub. Always seems to be busy. Shows live sport where available, such as football champions league. Not a massive selection of drinks and unsure about food as I've never eaten there/planned to eat so didn't check out if they did food. A bit rough and ready but what more do you want from a local

poor staff attitude and ridiculously loud music box

Full of slags who think they are all it and guys that will make you feel bad about yourself. Nice beer garden I love when jenny or issac sing on a welly wednesday They told me to put the cat down I did not want to put the cat down Mood

Just a pub, sells food. Sometimes you get served, sometimes you wait a while. Luck of the draw. Pool tables and some benches outside too. Big screen. Interesting picture wall.

The food is delicious, the menu has a great selection and it is fantastic value for money , the 2 for £10 offer is marvellous

Nice cosy atmosphere staff very friendly the menu looks quite reasonable

Top landlady that runs the place and nice food.

Great atmosphere, brilliant staff and great music Would be 5* but the toilets are a kinda dirty

Very good great for family 👪 time ⌚

As the pub was recently refurbished its now a much nicer place. I can't comment on the food as I was there to watch football.

Only driving by and get a ping asking for feedback ....well looks ok from the road

Went here today passing through Widnes, ordered meatball sub hubby ordered the hot one burger. Well what can I say!!!!! Vile is all, meatballs microwaved to the extreme that the went so hard I couldn't cut them. Hubby's burger was also very overcooked and hard to eat. Don't waste you money going here, Macdonalds is better!!!!

Went for a meal on Saturday 5th August the food was terrible they ran out of chicken. If I had not asked the staff were my meal was I think I would still be sat there now waiting for it . The staff were very unhelpful and they need to crack a smile .

Great food ( had the foot long philly cheese steak )

On a main road and plenty of parking space to rear of pub.

Spent some time today at the Wellington and can't stress how dirty the kitchen and toilets are 5 stars no chance think EHO needs a revisit as the kitchen had food from the night before just lay out and the floor in the pub still had bottle caps and chips on it and please don't get me started on the toilets the place is a punch tavern a big group looks like this manager is totally taking the piss please drive passed and go somewhere else

Nice enough pub, reasonable food and everything fairly priced.

Terrible service, terrible food, worst place I have ever had the misfortune to go to . WHAT A WASTED MOTHERS DAY avoid eating there as it's a complete waste of money and time not only had I sat there for 45mins before being told they did not have what I wanted then to order a medium rare steak and to be given an extremely well done steak overall the experience was awful

A real pubby pub. If you look up the word 'pubby' - there's a pic of the Wellie. Good beer never had the food. Did I mention it was a pub???

Had a really interesting evening here. A few drunk people ruining the atmosphere. Will certainly try it again though.

Waited an hour and 10 mins for food and when it came It wasn't up to standard. If I could rate it -5 I would
