The best restaurants in Halton North West

Ok , so I’m here because I’m attending a Union Representative course locally . I’m sat quietly in a corner and hear raised voices at the reception desk . So being the nosy person that I am , I position myself so that I can see what’s happening . Basically the person making demands is shouting and screaming at the designated seater , from nowhere !! Appears the acting manager who is hands on in the kitchen . She is a woman. I was so proud at how she handled this situation that I asked to speak to her . I told her how proud I was of her to make a stand for employee against this adversary , who was vile verbally toward her member of staff !! She handled it so perfectly , no swearing no aggression just firm and fare commands. If I was working within this industry, I’d want her behind me . Just sayin 🤨

Went to this weatherspoons pub one Thursday evening the food was very good and so was the service,just a little shout out for girl who served us,really polite and very friendly think her name was tasha.

Been a regular customer here for years! And I'm talking about 7 years.. I spend around £20-£30 here each time (big family). They used to deliver anywhere between 30-50 minutes. The past 6 times I have ordered I've waited over 1 hour & 40 minutes.. every single time I've had to call them up and obviously get the usual "on the way" or "drivers just left" then it turns up within minutes. I feel like because they know you've made numerous previous orders they don't care about you and send multiple deliveries at once with the most regular customers waiting the longest. I've just waited just under 2 hours for my food (chicken and donner folded calzone and cheesy chips) now this is where I draw the line because not only did I wait nearly 2 hours but the chicken was PINK the cheesy chips was less than half of a normal portion.. MINUS THE CHEESE. I think someone had actually eaten half because they had the garlic mayo on that i requested but literally looked half eaten. The place has become an absolute joke. I've been more than understanding and given plenty of chances of "oh they must be really busy tonight" etc but I draw the line at uncooked food especially after waiting 2 hours.. you'd think it would be well done after 2 hours wouldn't you 🙄 definitely won't be ordering again.

Ordered special chow mein no onions, meal arrived full of onions, phoned and complained, they argued that had no onions, eventually said they send delivery driver to pick up, after picking up they delivered new meal which was full of broccoli and disgusting, will not be using this chippy again and annoyed at them not believing me about onions on meal 😡😡😡

McDonald’s Widnes (The Hive): Where Dreams are Microwaved and Nostalgia is Deep-Fried There was a time when McDonald’s had a sense of magic. When Ronald McDonald still smiled from the walls with his sinister clown grin, and that weird Hamburglar bloke lurked in the background, like a French mime with unresolved issues and a compulsive need to nick burgers. Where are they now? Probably buried with the truth on Epstein’s island. Now, McDonald’s Widnes at The Hive is more like a polished dystopia. A place where the food arrives faster than thought, the joy is artificial, and the ketchup-covered iPads have become the true rulers of the restaurant. The kids race for them like Black Friday shoppers in the early 2000s, elbows flying, screens smeared with more sauce than sense. The screens aren’t just sticky—they’re biohazards in touchscreen form, and if the Chinese government had seen the sheer microbial warfare going on, they’d have spun a PR campaign so good we’d all be blaming a Happy Meal toy for starting the pandemic. Luckily, Widnes folk—raised on a diet of industrial runoff and asbestos-adjacent playgrounds—possess a Teflon-coated immune system. You could lick the floor of this McDonald’s and still make it to bingo that evening. I had the veggie wrap, which wasn’t bad. Not amazing. Not identifiable. The “veg” inside could’ve been a blend of peas, regret, and damp fibreboard, but it was wrapped tightly like a hot yoga instructor’s self-esteem, and the sauces did the heavy lifting. The chicken nuggets, cooked to golden oblivion in breadcrumbs and what felt like a mild clingfilm undercoat, went down suspiciously well. McDonald’s food doesn’t taste like anything in the wild, but it tastes like it always has—which is comforting in the way instant mash or a Sunday evening argument about the bins is comforting. A heartfelt shout out to the Deliveroo and Just Eat drivers, who mill about near the back like a warm-up squad for the Widnes Vikings, jostling for orders in what can only be described as a high-stakes domestic rugby scrum. Their hustle is admirable, if slightly terrifying. The staff? They try their best, trapped in a loop of buzzing screens and milkshake machine trauma. The toilets? Locked behind a system so secure you’d think the Colonel was hiding in there. As I sipped my Coke and gazed out toward the glow of the retail park lights bouncing off the murky waters of Spike Island, I missed the simpler times. Times when burgers were happy, Ronald was weird but present, and a trip to McDonald’s didn’t feel like a Black Mirror special written by Alan Bleasdale. Still, the wrap filled a hole. The nostalgia left a bigger one.

Horried order wrong never again revolting uselessness salalard what he'll going down hill concrt

Just experienced one of the worst chinese I've ever had. Crispy kung po had zero and I mean zero flavour.. with peas 🤣 Salt and pepper chips had no salt just warm up chips with garlic. Curry sauce was horrendous, just tasted of flour and looked like baby food was disgusting. The fish was covered in grease it was shocking. Hang your heads in here ffs

We have been going to this chippy for years it was always really good but the last few meals we have had have been absolutely disgusting .. Rice was like rice pudding Meal had no taste Chips were awful It was all cold and it wasn’t cheap I’ve given it 4 goes recently and it was all rubbish Won’t be going back sorry

Treated my friend and I to an apple Charlotte each. Returned home, one cake in the box and the other side of the box stuffed with paper. The girl only heard me ask for one which turned out to be £3.30 for one little cake!! If she had given me 2 then I would have queried £6.60.

When on earth is Pizza Pantry now open? Have they waved the white flag due to the pandemic? Tried to order 4 times including a Bank Holiday but each time got the voicemail “closed”.

Ordered food online at 7pm and didn't receive it until 9.30pm and phoned twice in-between asking where it was. My daughter had to go to bed without any as she was too tired and it ruined my mother's day tea. When we finally got it the crispy duck was chewy, worst I've ever had. Salt and pepper chips and squid were actually salt and chilli flavour. And special fried rice had about 3 prawns in it and didn't taste like what I have had before. Overall a very bad take away so won't be using again.

Food was served to us spilled all over the bag. Restaurant was generally unclean and had food and waste on the floor and the bins were overflowing. Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't return.

Went in to watch the horse racing at Cheltenham. But the volume on all the telly's wernt on. I asked the barmaid could she hire it up.but she was to busy giving some fella a wank and eating spaghetti Bolognese

DO NOT ORDER ONLINE ! It’s a scam…it’s no longer open but they will still take your money. SCAM ALERT !!! Please do not use this service !

Went to an amazing wedding here years ago but is now being used as immigrant accommodation .
