The best restaurants in Rainford St. Helens North West

Christina could not have been more helpful when we were aranging our wedding reception. The whole event went without a hitch at Raiford URC Church hall and here team liased with caretaking staff on the premises. All dietary requirements were met , including the last minute changes. The charge of about £30 / person was very reasonable for a quality meal - Thanks Ninian & lesley.

We called here yesterday with my partner and grandaughters, I had the Alpine breakfast which I thoroughly enjoyed, I was a little disappointed when I was told there was no pancakes available as I was looking forward to 2-2-2 apart from that we really enjoyed our time there, thanks to the staff for their friendliness and we hope to return soon.

Great steak pies, was greedy and had 2, plus got my daughter a Christmas ginger bread. Really nice for the price and great service by the girls behind the counter.

We had never been before, but had been recommended as we love to eat out. We were made very welcome from the moment we entered. Very friendly and attentive staff, all could ask any questions about the menu. Food for each course when it was served was delicious and even though it is a trek for us to get there, we will definitely be back! Ian, Julie, Jacqui and Keera 😀

went with some friends to this pub, and wow, it was it busy I'm so glad we had booked had a combination of the fish dish,s the curry, and the chicken stroganoff all were very good followed by the cheesecake and the sticky chocolate pudding again, these were also very good prices were a bit on the high side, but you paying for quality

We had the afternoon tea in celebration of my late mother 90 th birthday, she loved going to the houghwood with my late father. As per usual excellent food and service.

Eat here at least one, twice per month. Great food, great staff and reasonable prices.

Fortunately we live close to this fabulous restaurant and have many a family celebration here and also take away. Consistent good service, food quality whether dine in or out. Wouldn't go anywhere else locally

Brilliant little gem hidden away very friendly staff and loverly food

We’ve been dining at The Star Inn for many years, and it never disappoints. The food is always delicious, and the service is consistently outstanding. On our latest visit, my husband and son had the fillet steaks, which were cooked to perfection. My daughter enjoyed the classic fish and chips, while I opted for the chicken curry. We couldn’t resist the chocolate fudge cake for dessert. It’s clear why this place has become a firm favourite for us. The Star Inn always delivers. Safe to say, we’ll be returning again and again!

I booked the room for my dad’s funeral. Joel & the girls waiting on us were friendly & nothing was too much trouble. Even when more people arrived than previously booked for, they brought in more chairs & extra food when asked. The food as everyone commented who attended was delicious. Thank you to all the staff for making such a tough day a little easier.

We have been coming here for 9 years and have never had a bad meal. Staff are so friendly and welcoming and the food is always out of this world! You can’t go wrong with any item on the menu and the staff are always so accommodating with any requests/changes. I recommend to everyone all the time, just the absolute best Indian around by far!

Not worth the price and poor presentation would not return smashed advocado was just under £9 each should be something with it and sat for a while before being serve tables too close together

On what was an incredibly busy Xmas eve, we came here for dinner. The food and service was top notch, especially the ladies who was serving us...I think there names were Zoe and Amy. We were greeted by a lady called Liv who was very polite and professional. I really don't know how they all coped...as stated very busy. We all thoroughly enjoyed our evening. We will be visiting again.

Really lovely caring staff. Nothing was too much trouble for them. An excellent breakfast which was both tasty and value for money. I would have no hesitation in recommending. Thank you, Paul
