Thorn Inn in Warrington

Visit totally ruined by feral kids screaming the place down. Parents totally ignored the ridiculous behaviour and the staff just moved to the other end of the bar. Not a quiet country pub. If you can't control your kids please don't inflict them on other people.

Staff always great food is spot on.

Called in for tea had scampi it was OK my partner had gammon that was lovely

Well where do I start with this place it is a lovely pub but after we found out table then you see the fire door blocked with a child seat and dirty seats not good, Then we were told that they would come and take our order but never turned up so we ordered on the app only to find all sorts of food out of stock our drinks eventually come about 5 mins before our food with the excuse" I am on my own" the place wasn't even busy the food was nice even though there were things missing on the halloumi salad after our mains we ordered some sweets on the green king app only to find out they had none so we ordered 2 coffee's after about 10 mins I had to track a staff member down to find out where they were you could hear them chatting to another staff member instead of making my brew however ever the young man who served us was very polite and helpful could of been left on his own maybe a management fault but not his .

I've rode past the Thorn Inn for many years and lived around the wider area all of my life, but never visited until now, and we are so glad that we did. The pub has a lovely atmosphere, matched by the decor, which brings to life life its character. We received such a warm welcome from the team, they were all very friendly, attentative, and customer focused, nothing was too much trouble for the team. We ordered food & drunks, both of which were great value, the Beef Bourginion was to die for (so my wife said), and my Beyond Burger was just as good, by my account. It really was a great experience all round, a lovely venue, amazing colleagues & great value for money food. Thanks.

Ok if the Village Hall is shut. Has a bit of an identity problem, is it a boozer for locals or a destination for foodies. Can get busy with after works drinks from the local industrial estate or if you are really unlucky family and friend on visits to the local prison......

Came in with a group of friends and received a lovely welcome! Always find it awkward waiting to meet friends when you’re a girl in a pub but was so inviting and was put at ease instantly. Think it was Matt & Pete who I saw they were both a massive credit!

Visited recently, lots of free parking. Drinks served promptly. Lots of choice on the food menu, so it took us a while to choose. It was worth waiting for, not that we waited long. Service by staff was excellent, polite, informative & very welcoming. We will certainly come again if we are in the area. Well done to the staff. Would highly recommend.

Worst sunday roast for a long time, beef Tough to cut and the rest not good. We were refunded for both meals,won't be returning soon.

Never have clean crockery, cutlery available. Offered a tablespoon to eat beef dish as no smaller spoons available. Had to go into kitchen to find a clean cup for my coffee. Charged for full pint of Guinness when only asked and served half. Food does not meet decent quality. Had offer for designated driver drink - none available of brand, had to pay full price for alternative. Such a shame- could be a little 'gold mine'.

Pete the Manager & Katy the Bar Tender were amazing. 5 Stars Service & very patient & attentive. The establishment was warm & cozy after a busy week at work I just wanted to chill. Drinks were brilliant & I hope to come back soon for my Birthday. Thankyou for a lovely experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

nice quiet pub ...forgot to rate sevice and atmosphere ...didnt eat so cannot comment

I have never visited The Thorn Inn before I was impressed on arrival to find it well laid out, tastefully decorated including some nice Christmas decorations! Staff are pleasant, keen and helpful. As a table of 9 including a child needing a high chair, we were seated quickly having reserved our table prior. Drinks and food were quickly ordered and served in a timely manner. I was pleased with our server who was most accommodating to our needs and requests. We all left very satisfied and full! Thank you for a lovely meal and pleasant experience

Very pleasant staff and a great atmosphere Food was absolutely amazing, it was very well presented and not only was the food piping hot so we're the plate's I will definitely visit again when I'm next up North.

Always a warm welcome from Joanne and team.. lovely pub to have right on our doorstep. Great little beer garden in the summer and cosy in the winter. Would thoroughly recommend.

First visit for Friday night meal. Met by a very amiable gentleman (Donald?) who was very polite and accommodating. Two young lads behind the bar were very pleasant. Steaks were nicely cooked. A negative is the toilets. Female cubicles all had fixed double toilet roll holders, yet none of them housed the industrial sized toilet rolls, instead they were left on the floor/cistern and you had to wrestle with them to get the paper! The gents lacked a working hand dyer which resulted in a mountain of paper all over the floor around the over flowing bin. Donald seemed to be having his work cut out for him and probably deserves a raise.....or more staff?!!

Not really a warm welcome. The two bar staff were stood talking about a username on an app on their phone before eventually serving us. Most of the tables needed clearing, yet there was no one in the pub? And the beer tasted off as if the pipes need cleaning. Wouldn’t return.

Great meal throughly enjoyed our time here! Our server Joanne was brilliant couldn’t do more for us!! Will be returning

Disappointed,was told it was great but didn't really live up to expectations, on considering it was quiet empty , garlic bread was Cold

Walked in.. met by rude lady.. sent to sit down…looked at menu and left.

Lovely country pub, bit pricey for my usual budget, but average for the area.

Where to begin!! I hosted a baby shower here and let me tell you! From the start joe and Amy couldn’t do enough to help… from helping sort the decorations to making the most amazing spread!! I just need an excuse to have another party here now!!

I used to love this pub but everything is now so average and still expensive. I took the dog and the pub itself is still nice to be in but it's not good enough for the cost. I had a mixed grill £18, no better than anything I'd expect in Weatherspoon's for half that price, dry chicken and rubbery meat reminding me of the old little chef's. The beer was over £6 a pint, there's just no point in going into this pub anymore.

Rudest woman behind the bar. Clearly she did not want our business. Avoid like the plague.

A bit on the quiet side for a Sunday afternoon. However, the roast was spectacular! Lovely rib of beef, fab gravy and roasties. It's going to end up my local, so I'm glad it was this good. Got 3 stamps on my real ale card and will definitely be back to get my free pint soon!!

Little gem! V tasty Sunday lunch in a lovely English pub! Puddings to make you weep!! Really nice ☺️ maybe rethink the music it’s too much x

This is a great cosy pub in Thorn Cross village. Staff are very attention. Excellent customer service. I genuinely enjoy coming here. You feel welcomed and appreciated. The value for money of day time meals is excellent. Shout out to the Katsu Curry.

Gorgeous food, lovely atmosphere, spacious, Joanne cannot do enough for you, amazing woman, very kind and accommodating!

Great atmosphere and perfectly poured real ales. Joanne made use feel right at home 10 out of 10. Food was lovely too. We'll definitely be coming back.

Went on a Sunday afternoon, the pub was about a quarter full not much atmosphere the staff were polite and helpful. My partner went for the Sunday dinner not much choice,beef-chicken, I had the steak and ale pie nothing special about them the worst was the waiting time over 30min.did not have a desert has the table next to us ordered while we were waiting for our meal and had to wait at least 20-25 minutes would not like to think how long it would be if it was busy.

Really just like popping in for Saturday lunch here with a cheeky beer or 2. It’s just a lovely place to spend a couple of hours.

This pub is in a great location being a typical country village pub. The interior is rustic and homely. We called in for drinks and sat in the beer garden. You can access the beer garden and the rear of the pub directly from the adjacent car park. Nice selection at the bar and service was very quick and the staff pleasant. Will be calling back to sample the menu!

Very nice pub good atmosphere friendly staff lovely food

Nice looking pub in excellent easy to find location. The staff make this pub special. I would have graded excellent but too many items on menu had run out or just not available. And this was at 2pm. I had the chicken schnitzel with chips and salad. Salad a bit disappointing but rest good. Finished with chocolate fondant, which was very yummy. In all a good experience.

Went for a last minute lunch, Joanne greeted us and took our order she was very friendly and accommodating . Lovely pub. Plenty of choice and deals. Food was delicious and arrived in a timely manner. Would definitely return !

We visited The Thorn Inn today and we really enjoyed our visit. We were served by Joanne who could not do enough to help. We had a disabled member of the family with us and nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We will definitely be returning again next week for another lovely experience

Great service, all staff where lovely great food

Had a lovely meal always welcome by Joanne lovely lady looks after us every time well worth a visit great food and relaxing place

Came here for tea on a Saturday evening with my girlfriend and daughter and it was lovely, the food was great and the staff were friendly and helpful…..oh and there’s Neck Oil on tap.

Food was phenomenal, service by Judy was incredible despite how busy it was. All did well. Thank you very much, will definitely be returning.

Great pub, very cosy and friendly staff! Highly recommended!

Thanks to Jo and Judy for making us feel welcome on Father's Day. Great value for money and we all enjoyed the food, see you soon Hughes family

Great staff.welcoming.nice food

Took over an hour to get our food the got charged twice for it

We'd never been to the Thorn inn but would certainly recommend it for lunch and it's welcoming atmosphere. No idea of the ladies name who took our menu choices but she could not have been more helpful.

Great little pub. Drinks are great and is pretty cheap. Food is fine! Just need to clean the sitting outside otherwise 10/10

Exceptional food, lovely staff can't wait for our next visit.

The staff welcome you with a smile very polite nice friendly inn you can take dogs there as well

1st time visit , but will be visiting again,

Joe, Amy and Team have really turned this place around and about time! Lovely country feel pub but now finally with a warm welcoming vibe. Nice balance of sports, dining and dog friendly zones all clearly observed and managed if you want a quiet decent meal without dogs, kids and any loud sports commentary. Well done and keep it up! Shout out to big Sam and Lucas for their great service. Sunday roasts are highly recommended.

Lovely little pub and the food is great

Just the best pub for miles very dog friendly and super staff 👍

Good value tasty food, friendly staff

Had lunch there today. Food was very good. Service from Amy and Sam was brilliant. Great experience from start to finish

Been here a few times now and is always great food, atmosphere and service. A big thanks for Judy for looking after us so well today especially with me being so fussy! 😀

Went for mother's day and it was absolutely an amazing meal, the service was fantastic 😊. The food was phenomenal so delicious and very highly recommended to anyone going alone, as a couple, family gatherings or even with friends. You need to go down and taste the brilliant food that is served fresh from here! Will be coming back very soon! 😁

Lovely Mother’s Day meal. Good portions. Great value. Excellent food. Great service. The whole family enjoyed it. Will definitely return. Thank you Joe and team!

Very nice pub and friendly staff and good food

My favourite thing about this pub/restaurant is that it has reasonably-priced side dishes on the menu so it is a good place to eat if you don't have much money with you or don't want a full meal. I ordered a jacket potato after a job interview while I was waiting for a bus but I would order food and drink from here if I was in the area. The atmosphere is nice and the staff were friendly. There is a beer garden at the back of the pub.

Friendly staff and chef food lovely atmosphere good worth the money and going back again

An absolutely fantastic 1st meal and drinks at the thorn inn after recently moving to the area. The new manager Joe is a fine host, the food is amazing ! very tasty with well balanced flavours and a varied menu. The prawn, chorizo risotto was very fresh and the breaded katsu curry had amazing flavour and texture. The apple and blackberry crumble with custard is delicious. The staff were all very approachable and helpful. We will definitely be back soon, highly recommended popping in and trying this lovely venue.

Popped in here for some lunch with family after visiting Totally Roarsome. Very child friendly, children's books and colouring sheets. Staff were so friendly and welcoming, we had the lunchtime special, very good value for money. Lovely atmosphere

What a lovely place food was amazing atmosphere lovely and relax. Chef Emma well what can we say. She knows how to cook a steak and fish and chips. All staff so friendly, I love it here. Would highly recommend this place. Don’t just take my word for it. You need to try it out, thank you Judy and staff for looking after us 🥰

Lovely food and drink, pleasant atmosphere. Friendly staff

Called into the Thorn Inn early evening having had to go and collect some forgotten items left at Park Royal Hotel earlier in the day, have never been here before. Very quiet though was early on Thursday evening, had two lovely meals, my wife had steak (Steak Thursday) and I had the gammon off the main menu. Both beautifully cooked, piping hot & looked after wonderfully by Izzy and Sam - thanks to all for a lovely meal.

Good food and good service. Attentive but not over bearing staff (Izzy and Sam). A very friendly atmosphere. Would recommend a visit

We came in for Valentine’s Day, the food was great and served quickly, and Izzy and Sam were very attentive and made our visit enjoyable.

We have just eaten here tonight. I had their signature burger, and my partner had a cheese and bacon burger. Both came with a generous helping of chips and a couple of onion rings. The price was good because we were on a Groupon deal. The service was very attentive. We would definitely eat here again, even though it's not our local.

Had the veggie sunday roast and most enjoyable. Hubby had hunters chicken with trimmings. Lovely friendly staff and really efficient service from michelle and guys. Highly recommend as good value. Jenni & Bob x

Thank you for looking after us Michelle, you made us feel very welcome & nothing was too much trouble. The atmosphere was family friendly, with a warming fire keeping us toasty.

Excellent meals prices & service with a smile we will be returning 😊

Great food and great service. We encountered a website booking issue and they called to resolve it straight away. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and the food was cooked to perfection.

We took our grand children to have breakfast with Santa, a great experience for them. Great service, only us in the pub so was quite personalised, staff couldnt be more attentive. Would recommend others to try this, even Santa was chatty.

Friendly Staff, really polite and pleasant. The food was exceptional I had the lamb shank and mash which was amazing in flavor. The menu is really good with a good list of food, however the menu font could be made a little bigger. However I would really recommend anyone to visit this establishment as I believe you won't be disappointed. Will be going back again in the near future!!!

Lovely pub beautiful inside very friendly staff and fast service the food was very good would definitely recommend a visit

"Ran out" of a lot of items on lunch menu and the replacements offered (for vegetarian) was, basically, stale bread. A very nice barman though who was clearly embarrassed.
