Turks Head. st Helens in St. Helens

We visited for the first time yesterday. I had the fish and chips, the fish was beautiful in a light and crispy batter with homemade chips and tartar sauce. My daughter had the tower burger which she really enjoyed. I would recommend this lovely pub.

This place is fantastic a lovely little pub, great service and a fantastic atmosphere warm and welcoming. The food is definitely 5⭐ clean fresh and well prepared There is only 1 thing that I myself was not happy with and that was they don't take cash but that is my own personal preference

Great selection of well kept real ales

Only just found this place recently.. excellent range of real ale beautifully kept.. nice looking pub good outside area .. lots of people were eating food looked nice will have to revisit then redo review

Lovely home cooked food, dog friendly, they even do doggie dinners!

Sunday 15th Sept 24, my wife and I have just had Sunday dinner, served cold, very disappointed, staff member says I should have said and they would have warmed it up, I think it should have come warm in the first place.

Always a friendly face and super food/drinks.

Drinks are great, food fabulous, atmosphere brill!! - well worth going & having a good time xx

Great beers and atmosphere. Serving pizzas at the moment which sell well. Tried the garlic bread yes which was nice but maybe a little too much butter.

Not been here for a long time and was disappointed, £23.95 for lamb henry, overdone on the outside, veg and mash lukewarm, overpriced for what it was, wouldn't rush back

Come quite often food and drink very good usually, but had the specials steak pudding chips and peas very dissapointed. Was hungry so ate most before I realised the suet pudding wS as hard as rock. Its a shame staff did not offer any compensation as I had to leave almost all the " suet"

Still as good as ever, large choice of cask ale

Food nice but why the hell is a pub in a working class town card only?

Great food and friendly service

Lived n st helens all my life. Only ever been in this pub for pool and a drink. Lots of people reccomened me and my wife go for food. So today we did. Never again not very friendly. Food is very oily and greasy. Definitely not home cooked. Very disappointed.

Lovely place fantastic food nice staff

One portion of chips completely overdone and the other completely undercooked. Sausages burnt and garlic bread horrendous a waste of £30 will not be returning

Absolute banging food. Nicest pub food around. All the pubs in st helens tend to be green king mostly so it's nice to have this pub sell actual beautiful pub food instead of the rubbish microwaveable rubbish green king sell Absolute asset to st helens this pub.

We went for something to eat, and both the service and food was incredible. A fantastic specials board and decent portions at decent prices. We went to the outdoor area across the road, which was amazing, and there are loads of different events throughout the week in the evening.

Lovely staff very good food can only pay by card ,would recommend this place 👌

amazing food still hot lots of taste 😋

Great real ale and cider selection. Food is fantastic

Had two delicious Sunday Roasts delivered speedily by a nice , young Man 🙏👏 after a difficult morning at the Hospital 🤢 Many thanks to Mandy for sorting it, on the ball as always 🙏 Best around xxxx

Lots of drink variations , lovely staff , dog friendly , nice food , every drink I seen being poured made me want one !

I ordered onion rings and a Diane sauce but didn't receive them

Fabulous place, with great and attentive staff. Huge selection of ales, with friendly and attentive staff. Only thing of note is that it only accepts card at the bar.

Relaxed atmosphere, nice pint, and great food .

Brilliant pub, my absolutely favourite to go. Always a nice atmosphere and welcoming from both staff and customers. Variety of beers, gins, ciders and so on. Food is really hearty and can tell its proper "homemade". Dog friendly so we always take ours in and they can get doggy dinners and dog beer / wine!

Absolutely great for real ales, and good food and atmosphere

A friend had recommended this pub if I ever visited St.Helens again. I'm so glad he did ! What a gem ! Friendly bar staff, really interesting decor, and great real ale . It was a glorious sunny day when we visited and we made use of the beer garden of its sister pub the Cowley Vaults. Great food from both.

I had the minted lamb burger, my friend had the fish and chips, another friend had the Turks Head Tower. All the food was piping hot and delicious. Highly recommend.

Food was lovely and the girl who served us was really pleasant and lovely jess I think

Superb real ale pub. A pub like pubs used to be!!! Friendly, comfortable. Great experience and one I won't hesitate to repeat of in the area.

After years of frequenting The Turks Head, and after a delicious evening meal, it was spoiled by a group of would like to say young females who were very abusive at the bar, told my friend to go home he was drunk plus other aggressive language, which he was clearly not. We were not impressed by the manageress who when spoken to dismissed it. My argument would be, would she have dismissed it if he would have been confrontational and aggressive to females. I think not. Very disapointed.

Wow visited for the first time today, outstanding food and the staff are brilliant, better than most restaurants in st Helens 👍🏻

Good choice of drinks food is very good staff very good

Great pub with good food. Excellent selection of real ales and deservedly highly rated by CAMRA.

Brilliant place! Fourteen real ales!!! Staff really helpful and tasters available. Lovely pub. Didn't eat but food looked good too. Visited again April 2024, just as good as last time - had excellent bar food. Well worth a visit - real ales were outstanding

Always eat in the Turks but have out done themselves, absolutely amazing food

I ordered a sunday roast from the Turks head. it was amazing fantastic portion size and quality. it was very hot and was enough in my opinion to feed 2 people. it did arrive earlier than expected. but that was just a bonus. would highly recommend people to try it. I will certainly be ordering again

Great pub with a large variety of drinks on offer

Great local pub great beer fantastic food

gorgeous meal plenty of roast beef lots o gravy

Far too expensive for a pub in St Helens and they don't accept cash. Went once and won't be going back

What a pub should be. Fantastic

Probably the nicest take away I’ve ever had . Arrived early , Hot and very well presented . It was delicious :-)

Good food. Good atmosphere. Great assortment of craft beers and ciders. Open fire. What more could you ask for.

Classic pub with great food. Good range of ales also

Food very tasty, a tad too spicy for my likeing but tasty

Double Gin promo taken off pint of lager and double gin that was £11 something now £15.30 dont think so will eat and drink elsewhere used my loyalty points up tonight to use up can you imagine if they doubled the price of real ale dont think so. see you when prices are comparible to the rest of town and not London. Actually paid less in London for same round not a back street pub in St Helens

polite driver. excellent food, everything really tasty, well wrapped and despite the distance was still warm on arrival

Food was amazing but did need warming up a bit. I’d have preferred gravy in a pot separately rather than poured over but no big deal. Once again, did not disappoint. I love the food here.

First time today at the Turks head. First impressions seemed well. Unfortunately rude staff and long waits let it down. Not to mention the chefs carrying food over the road form the neighbouring pub! I would advise anyone to consider going here!

Gets rated one of the best pubs in St Helens for a reason. Some say could be cheaper but, also, u get what u pay for! Good food and good beer. Great place 👌

One of the nicest pubs I've been in for a very long time. The food, atmosphere and service were second to none In my humble opinion, Well done!!!

Good choice of alse at very reasonable prices

##Updated review## Not been for a good while and was again warmly welcomed as soon as I walked in. Upon bar managers recommendations Had the sirloin steak and with peppercorn sauce. Absolutely cooked too perfection and staff were extremely attentive checking both you and food was good. And it was! Went in with stress levels around ten...came out and they were about 2.. Great food, great atmosphere lovely staff 10/10 from me Thanks guys Oz ___________________________ Hands down best pub I've been too in St Helen's for food and staff are super friendly.. Great Home cooked food and generous portions.. Steak kebab was massive!!! Big thank you to the young chap with the pony tail who made us feel extremely welcome.. Will be back soon.. Cheers OZ 😁😁😁👌👌👌

Great food as usual. Delivered on time. Excellent service.

Food is always excellent . Salt and pepper chicken is great

Food was lovely, large positions, had the mix grill, the young lady behind the bar was very friendly and very grateful of the tip i left, will definitely eat there again

Excellent real ale pub with a great selection, loved it

Great pub, it’s not local to me but me & wife go in every Saturday, food lovely, staff are fantastic, plus the people who go in are all friendly.

Met up with Family between Christmas & New Year. Lovely, Friendly pub. Was very busy but stil got served quickly by Friendly, professional & knowledgeable staff.

Great place for beer and a kebab

Good vibes nice food great draft ale. Better than Cricketers

Went on a Tuesday when it was quiz night. Really nice food and great atmosphere

I love love this pub but for me the last 18mths the food has gone so down for prices. 22.95 for a shared platter tiny tiny tiny crock pot of stew (very nice) just so. Tiny for a shared platter. Frozen hard roast meant to be salted potatoes. And to finish off the platter was stale bread. This pub is amazing very friendly girls. However my disabled nice fell up the few stairs as couldn't manage them with her single drink. Not one offer to replace her drink for no charge, and they could see she struggled and had only just walked in. For a pub I love that is aways so busy thought that was a tad wrong one as she was so embarrassed. So for this feel you like taking the money but could go a bit above the standered service. They win awards for. The food is no longer wooow and bit 😝 for the prices your charging. People will cont to still go as you have the neash on the market of the town. This is possibly third time I have eaten and thought sorry no portions have so shrunk and not as nice food. Few years ago food was exceptional. Now I feel hit and miss. Tonight just on me and my niece you got about 100 between us for restaurant prices not even take away quality and size. So so sorry aways leave you 5 stars but this is third time it's been well below prices charged

Great pub for a pint. Haven't eaten here but ai believe the food is great.

Great pub, always very lively, great service, excellent range of beer, non-alcoholic options, and a really decent cup of tea!!

Legendary gaff, christmas spirit in full flow. Vanilla & Cherry Kraken is the one

Roast dinners was spot on both me and the wife really enjoyed them really good food big portions.

Great food delvery on time just !

Nice food,great service and plenty of choice of beers.

Roast was nice loads of meat, ordered soup of the day not sure what it was but the taste was awfull it was literally like a bowl of water and onions couldn’t eat it

Absolutely gorgeous Sunday dinner. Was the first but certainly won’t be the last!

Excellent food and good size portions

Absolutely delicious will definitely order again and visit pub for a meal .

We live 2 minutes away from Turks. Followed driver on map he went all round the world, didn't seem to have a clue where he was going. On arrival he kept showing his phone to husband, kept him waiting before handing food over. This meant our food was cold, totally blame Just Eat for this.

Lovely traditional pub. Jess is so friendly and looks after the customers well and goes the extra mile to help out. Portions are very generous- we have suggested doing a " Senior/ OAP " menu, as my parents feel awful returning food and are quick to point out the food was lovely, there is just too much. They are frequent visitors and love it !

By far the best takeaway I've ever ordered! Will definitely be ordering again.

Good choice of beers nice friendly staff

Food was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be going back.

Great selection of cask ales - the best around. Food was of an excellent quality - especially the curry! Wide choice of food on the menu

Very nice and friendly pub.voted one of top pub by camera.😁🍷🥃.

everything cooked to perfection delivery spot on time I know where I will be getting Sunday lunch, first time i have ben but wont be the last 5 stars for everything

Brilliant pub, loads of real ale! Staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. Aways a nice atmosphere! The food is lovely especially the Sunday Roast 😋

Smashing place to celebrate birthdays

The mix grill was Ok much prefer the hungry horse to it. 3 stars as The steak was actually cooked to rare as stated. But the rest wasn't nice the onion ring was the worse literally couldn't eat them. The others didn't enjoy there meal either the fish was terrible I'll return again only to try the roast dinner as that is supposed to be a great meal

Lovely food , portion could have been slightly bigger

Had a bad time on Monday!...Beer was horrible (returned it 3 pints..) ..dog yapping and then had a pee...returned the following day to see if the Harvest Pale was better...Na, could not drink it! I think I need to find another pub... However, the bar staff (especially Jess) are wonderful. 31/10/23. Went back a couple of weeks ago and was disappointed again...First pint could not drink, then retuned it for another diffrent brand, this pint was just about drinkable...can't understand such HIGH CAMRA rating....Been going back to the Cricks for a decent pint.

My local pub and the best around. Real ales and sport on the TV. My favourite place to drink.

Went for sunday lunch today , waited about an hour and 15 minutes for the food to arrive which wasn't a problem, but wasn't asked if we wanted any sauces , had to go to the bar to ask for salt and pepper. Would have given the roast beef dinner a 10 /10 but for the fact it wasn't hot , just warm . No one came to ask if everything was ok so didn't bother to say anything as we'd waited so long for the food already .

We use the Turks as we have a dog,they are always friendly and they know us.We enjoy the atmosphere and the bar staff.The craft beer choices are very good.

Pretty decent but doesn’t except cash for some reason which was very inconvenient so won’t be back im afraid. Amazing in these difficult times for the hospitality sector that cash payments not taken

A proper pub. 1st time whilst in the area. I will visit again. ☺️

Went to Turks head for Sunday lunch, Great food at reasonable price and the staff was very friendly. Would definitely go back and recommend to family and friends.

As always an excellent pub and great range of beer

Firm local favourite for a Sunday dinner, im fond of the brisket. Cracking staff, decent pint, definitely the brisket dinner 🍺❤️

The Turks is a great place to eat and the food is fantastic. It is more of a local's pub and has great real ales and cider etc. Dogs are allowed. Staff are lovely and always work hard to get people served.

Spot on, thoroughly enjoyed it.
