The Woodlands in St. Helens

Amazing pizzas and great staff 👏 👍

Lovely pub, great choice of drinks with good service.

Great pub, pool table and darts boards Just want you want for you and a few lads to have a laugh and a good time

brilliant night very friendly n helpful staff

Enjoyed our time in the woodlands not been in for a while but we will go again .

Came in on Saturday night with family Ivan behind the bar. Nice and friendly very pleasant with all the customers and definitely recommend this place with Ivan here he's very efficient

Came in for a drink on my own and Ivan was the bartender and had a great chat and recommended some good drinks. All together great atmosphere and had an amazing time

5 of us had breakfast here. Most ordered a large breakfast, ergo 2 eggs fried/poached/scrambled etc. 2 sausages, tomatoes grilled/chopped, bacon etc. A full English. All five of us enjoyed it. 3 had been here before. It was excellent and the waitresses were funny, helpful and helped in making the event memorable. We are already making plans for next month!

A very much locals pub from what I could see. I didn't see any menus so can't say about food. The car park was pretty small for the size of the pub. I would use again at some time.

I had a great time here with my friends when we came in for drinks. The staff was great, friendly and made us feel welcome. The place is dog friendly and got a pool table.

We been served by Holly she was very friendly. Fast service and a great atmosphere great place for drinks with friends.

First time in. Drank in the beer garden as a lovely summers evening. No food ordered, but service was great and atmosphere spot on.

A great place for a drink with family, friends or alone depending on whatever you feel

Absolutely top place ruined by the brewery, 3 coaches turned up , around 80 people all looking for food & drink. Ended up going carrmill. What a shame, this pub is going down because of the brewery

Played a gig there on Saturday with my THOMBRES duo - cracking atmosphere

Pop in this pub from time to time and there is always a warm welcome, especially if you bring a dog with you! Great selection of beers and an ample beer garden if we ever get any sun!

Brilliant pub, favourite in the area very reasonably priced and warm welcome every time, the landlord is a lovely fella plenty of TVs and space to chill and watch sport darts boards and pool and nice garden in the back, best pub in the area

Great place top pub especially for darts players To practice 👍🎯

Fast friendly service & clean with parking

Pleassent as always, really friendly staff, friendly atmosphere, sports on the TV, and good prices on drinks and food. Bonus they are dog friendly in the bar area, can't ask for anymore than that

Really good pub, we've been at different times and there's always a chilled atmosphere. Staff are super friendly. Also you can take dogs in 🐕🦮

Absolutely disgusting. Booked for a party of 19 over a month ago , all turned up only to be told that they don't do food.....unbelievable. Fortunately the Carr Mill could take us last minute.....never again

Great customers and good beer food is good too

Nice clean bar with decent selection of beers . Caters for all.

Went to a fun day that was sadly cancled. Seems a nice little pub

Nice decor, friendly staff, great to watch live sports loads of TV and various seating benches, stools, chairs and back rests.

Played here for our local pool pub team, nice staff and very modern venue 👍

Worst pub in st Helen's. Serve pizza thur, fri & sat only they dont. The two women in the bar are as miserable as sin & have a right attitude. Kids not allowed in after 8 unless they're the kids of the staff. One rule for them & another for us. This pub could be so much better, cant wait for the management to change.

For a pub that uses Sports Bar as its main draw to customers they don't seem to understand how to create the right atmosphere. The landlady always has the volume turned down on the speakers so you can hardly hear the commentary!

Went to this venue for darts and doms

The blonde girl was So misserable behind the bar

Expensive drinks not even any offers in the shots

No atmosphere, don't charge as much they would get more in

Really surprised.big pub good atmosphere

Omg was having a lovely family afternoon in this pub, good music and beer. Ran out of Madri at 17:30, football came on, commentary was so loud couldn't chat or hear ourselves speak, totally no need for it being so loud. Will not be back on match day, so sad. Should cater for all.

Food lovely , prices fair , great service will come again

Nice range of drinks, friendly helpful staff. Reallt nice refurb as well

Covid rules followed. Prompt table service, enjoyed my visit 👍

If I could give half a star I would. Arrived yesterday for the England game and tried to order through the App which was down (no fault of the staff working). I went in and asked about this and was told to try again and if not someone would be out. I then waited over an hour for someone to come over and was told on a number of occasions to wait despite there being 3 other tables before us get served a number of times. When the App did come back I ordered a small bowl of chips and waited over 1 hour. I went inside to mention this to someone and was met by a rude manager who was rolling her eyes and when I mentioned one of her staff had been rude to us, she said that it "hard to believe, but she'll have a word". I understand COVID slows everything down, but I have never been anywhere and received such shocking customer service from both staff and management. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Amazing food, amazing service..... What a great afternoon & night we had. Would definitely return 👍

Great pub with friendly staff and quick service. Freshly made food that tastes great.

Enjoyed my 1st visit to the Woodlands, staff were really good

Loved it bar staff so helpful. Back to the good old times

I have been working in the area and have found the Woodlands Pub. Being from the "outside" its always hard to find a friendly pub however i was welcomed straight away by the staff and had many a jokes and laughter with the locals. They was only doing a garden menu due to covid however it was really nice and the pizza's are 100%, glad to be going home but will miss the little (quite big actually) local that i made home.

would not even be rated one star if possible.

I know we are in the middle of a pandemi, but I booked a table for tea tonight with my partner and after half an hour of us sat there no-one had taken our order which was a huge shame as it was our first meal out for a while. We ended up walking out as it looked more like the workies pints were more important at the bar!

This is a Great Pub in the heart of our community , It's Now managed by a New management team run through Black Rose Pubs, The New LandLady and Landlord are also visible and on hand for any questions, the staff they have employed are fantastic and Nothing is a problem, They operate a Great COVID policy and all are welcome and feel safe whilst onsite , The decor is fantastic fresh and Modern and the selection of food they offer is perfect for a drink with friends and some food or Pizzas Fantastic Large Beer Garden for those sunny St Helens days and large Parking for those Not drinking , Good selection of Dart boards if that's your thing even a Pool table , or why Not sit back with a cool pint and watch the match on the many screens around the Pub , Many Local national games streamed

Not been in this pub for years, but was well impressed with the Covid 19 set up & the pub itself. Only had drinks so can't comment on the food. Only downside was they only opened at 2pm on the Tues we went & did food from 4pm.

Had Pizza and garlic bread, was brilliant, really enjoyed it, highly recommended 👌

Limlted basic menus,long waiting time

Pleasant atmosphere. Good social distancing and friendly helpful bar staff . Would recommend to friends x

Great pub it's just been taken over and done up and it looks lovely. Went in saturday afternoon it was busy and a great atmosphere. The food was delicious, and reasonable prices. The service was excellent staff was very friendly . We will defo be back.

Back to being a community pub, serving good food, and at last real ales. Diane and Mick who are the new managers have brought a good atmosphere back. Staff are friendly and attentive, full table service

Went in for a drink Saturday afternoon great atmosphere. Decided to stay for food. Food was lovely, piping hot, reasonably priced and great service. Will defo be back.

This recently refurbished pub has been given a new lease of life by the new management team, Diane and Mick. Food is now being served and a 9am opening at weekends for breakfast. Quality cask ales are now available including locales. The beer garden has been improved and French windows installed that look out over it, I believe these will be opened up during the summer months to give a nice airy drinking and eating experience. Families are very welcome and the atmosphere is very ambient during the day and early evening then the pub comes to life, bustling with punters watching the live entertainment. This establishment is very sport orientated, showing all the live football and rugby league games amongst other sports. All in all this pub provides a top drinking experience and I would recommend it to anybody. The pricing is very competitive for such a grand pub. Enjoy

Friendly pub lovely staff just been updated think it will be my new favourite pub in st helens

Pleasant new years eve. Thanks.

Pleasant surroundings good beers and happy Staff

The woodlands is under new management a lot better but the beer should be better

No atmosphere... bad beer... enough said

This is a great pub with a larger than life landlord. Staff are friendly enough and welcoming....but equally don't suffer fools gladly. It's also the St Helens hub for darts too...with several teams playing from there on various weekdays. Everything about the place just works well as a village pub.

Great for darts and landlords a legend fae a few scots

A section of the pub was set aside for a family party. The family did a buffet and people bought drinks from the bar . Children are welcome. The pub is welcoming and stylishly decorated. There is a large beer garden at the rear of the pub . The bar is well stocked. There isn’t a huge amount of car parking at the front.

Great big pub no customers and no food or hot drinks. Very poor will not be going back and will tell others.

It's clean but not a lot going on

Good pub. Decently priced pint. Football on. Dogs are aloud in. What more do you want?

Good pub easy parking friendly staff

Clean and tidy polite staff.beer expensive.

Great community pub, fairly priced

Visited for a christening. Good facilities and pleasant staff.

We recently visited here for food and football. The footy was great loads of screen including a large screen, so you can watch from any view. The food on the other hand was not so great. I had fish, chips and peas not great but crap if I’m was to be honest. My partner had chicken and chips which came with sweetcorn. He like the chicken but was not keen on the sweetcorn.

Took almost an hour to bring our food which we think they'd forgotten to cook. Tried to find an email address or number for the management team - there isn't one - what sort of establishment is this?! Shoddy! Look at the state of the Hunter's Chicken - laughable! Was disgusting too, will never return!

Ένα ωράριο μαγαζι με καλή επιλογή σε pizza και αρκετες μπυρες με εξαιρετικο προσωπικό σε ένα ωραίο σημείο στη περιοχή του St Helens όπου επίσης μπορεί καποιος να δει live αθλητικά γεγονότα στην τηλεόραση εχοντας και δωρεάν WiFi

Good pub, that air con was needed in this weather

Very reasonably priced food. I had the hot dog. Hot chips. You pay for what you get and I was happy with the quality of the food, the service and the ambiance of the location. We played pool before and after our meal. Thoroughly enjoyed the few hours I was there. Back next Sunday definitely.

The woodland pub only 5min from where I live been in last 2 weeks and really enjoying it nice and clean and friendly

Nice pub inside but I wouldn't ever eat in there again.

Myself and my family went here for a meal there was 6 of us. Arrived and sat down on the only available large table isolated away from everyone and the telly above us had rugby on. Since no one else was around us we asked could the channel be changed to the Liverpool game to which we were told no as it is on elsewhere in the pub, however there was no seating area to eat where the football was on, we said no one is watching the rugby so I don't see the issue and the manager came over and spoke to us with no respect and raised his voice in front of my 7 year old niece so we asked for a refund on our drinks which was slammed down on the bar and left. Never will I go back

Good old woodys but now you can get pizza

The pub is pleasant and welcoming but parking is limited and with several yellow lines about its hard to park at busy times.

Not neen in a while but this usef to be the pub to go to had everything for kids and adult entertainment

Lovely. Warm welcoming atmosphere lovely food and ale

We went to the Woodlands to celebrate a birthday last night ( 8th Feb 2018 ) and to be honest it was shocking, we all ordered at the same time yet two got there meals within fifteen minuets the rest had to wait for for another thirty before getting there meals, The food was shocking the burgers were tasteless the scampi was under cooked the pies were soggy, we had to go in search of cutlery and condiments ourselves, we will not be going back to the Woodlands pub again, sorry,

4 dartboards, pool table, BT sport's and sky sport's.

Theres good food and drink but nothing for kids to do. If this issue changed it would be a cracking place to be

Great family pub with excellent sports coverage

Three adults with a teenager and 4 year old .Very different from my last review.Children's outside area now doesn't exist All men customers.Seems to have turned into a sports bar.Pizza good but presentation of sides terrible

Very nice and cosy. Quite with a good and calm atmosphere.

We went for a few games of darts and ended up having food. The food was really good and tasty. The staff were very nice and accomodating. It was a mid-week lunch time so it was quite quiet. We had the jukebox on and had a lovely time.

Great for watching sports. Has a pool table and 4 dart boards.

Find it annoying it's practically impossible to get served 1/2 Carling in a Carling glass. Appear to be down to two glasses.

Just our type of pub, nothing posh, very friendly staff and a nice welcome from the locals, a Good ale at a very good price.

Went back again recently (after too long away!) and the Woodlands was fab as always. Lovely to see the staff, a friendly welcome as usual and as ever, gorgeous pizza! Keep up the good work Woodlands!

Good beer Nice, dogs friendly, garden.

50 minute wait for food. No cider. No cask beer as advertised. Dreadful disappointment. Pizzas were bland and tasteless. Won't be back

Visiting family locally and decided to go there to eat as we had heard good reports from other family and friends. We were a party of 11. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Our party was made up of parents, grandparents and children and we all had a great time. The food was delicious and very reasonable. We'll certainly go there again.

Visited the Woodlands whilst in St Helens visiting family. We stopped in for a quick bite to eat and I must say the Pizza's are to die for!!! Good value, great service and will definitely be eating there again next time I'm in the area :-)

My favourite place to visit when I am in the area, wouldn't go anywhere else. The staff, food & service are always excellent, would thoroughly recommend the pizzas, different flavours too, the duck one is my favourite, very yummy!

Good inexpensive pizzas. Clean and welcoming pub with plenty of dart boards.
