The best restaurants in Mersey Halton North West

Best breakfast I’ve ever had and the people who work there are brilliant, proper homely atmosphere. They will cater for anything, best eatery in Runcorn.

Order 8 takeout breakfasts for work. All food hot and tasty, quick service, good price, packaged well for takeout. Nice local business I highly recommend

I booked here for my 60th birthday party. 29/3/25. Dave and his staff, they couldn't do enough for me to ensure I had a great night, I had 2/3 guests who didn't drink, but the lady n gent on the bar, sorted them cups of tea. I wanted the pan of scouse, as a hot dish, as well as the buffet, which i did myself. The amount of people since then who've said the scouse was delicious, so congratulations to the chef who made it. As I've said nothing was too much trouble. Would I book again? Yes maybe when I'm 70, if I live that long. 🤣 Once again Thank you Lockdown. Xx

Ordered food from here for delivery. The lamb chops were superb and the kebabs were simply to die for! Highly recommended restaurant.

I decided today that I want something more exciting for lunch apart from my bland chicken sandwich and 2 apples. I came out of the office and walked across the bus way and saw a colleague of mine standing at the bus stop having some fresh air. He asked where I was going, so I told him that I was looking to go somewhere for a sandwich for lunch. He suggested Co-op or Iceland, but then he said that I should go into Monk's delicatessen. He said he had some great sandwiches from there and their ingredients were very fresh and the manager frequently gave him the end of the ham, saying that it would be too stringy to put through the slicer. I decided to go to Monk's on his recommendation. The staff were very warm znd welcoming and were very attentive when I mentioned my dairy intolerance. They ran me down the ingredients they used to fill the sandwiches and there were many meats, cheeses and extensive salad ingredients too. The staff told me what had milk products in and what didn't. I chose brown bread, 3 types salami, roast ham and all of the salad. I also selected an Oasis summer fruits bottle. It all came to £6.20. My colleague said that the costs would be comparable with Co-op or Iceland sandwiches. I thought on average the price was slightly more expensive. However, the price of the sandwich was only £5 and matched the freshness of ingredients and was very filling. The saltiness of the ham and the spiciness of the chorizo complimented each other with the freshness of the salad ingredients which cut through the smokiness of the meat. It was incredible value compared to the packaged sandwiches of the other local shops. The sandwich was 'fit' and 'to die for' as I described it back to my colleagues in the office. From the first bite to the last, the freshness of ingredients and the smokiness and spiciness of the meats were delightful and certainly did more than fill the void in my stomach that normally my bland chicken sandwich did. Incredibly friendly and attentive staff and beautiful hand made fresh sandwiches which I definitely would return if I needed a tasty sandwich for lunch. Thank you very much and keep on making!

Quality food, happy and very friendly staff the food had taste. Prompt and quality service.

I love Pound Bakery and have been to several. Runcorn one is my favorite! The store is always tidy and the food is consistently delicious! Such a great value, too. I have found the staff in Runcorn to be all friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a stop in! The sausage rolls and mince pies are my favorites, but everything is SOOOOO good!

Absolutely delicious the food is mouth watering it’s left me wanting more the staff are lovely and welcoming and it’s a nice happy environment and as i said the food is 10/10 never had anything like it!!!

Great local pub. Quality beer served every time. Lovely, friendly and efficient local staff. Nice environment and atmosphere to have a drink in.

lovely filling meal, the best of the week, thank you

I've had a few orders from here before and have always enjoyed them I also left a great review 5 months ago . Not sure if there is a new chef now or the cost of living crisis is having an impact but not the same I was shocked at what I got , infact I didn't even eat it Such a shame as its refreshing to have different choices especially in a small town in runcorn but I won't be ordering again . My friend group has also experienced the same loved it then the last delivery gross
