The best restaurants in Rainford St. Helens North West

Disappointing visit. First drink (scotch) provided in an extremely well worn, scratched, dull glass. Main course was very good and up to expected standard. Dessert was supposed to be ‘cheesecake’. It was a square of slightly stiff, soggy bottomed mousse! Inedible, the waitress said ‘sorry, about that’. It should have been refunded or an alternative offered. Final drink ordered, never arrived and wasn’t on the bill either.. so it had been overlooked completely! Overall a disappointing experience.

Best boozer . Staff fab and sausages on bar on a Friday fab

Great family pub. Brilliant service.we were a large party with 5 children. Food was great service was even better. Prices were family friendly too.

Brilliant place for food an service too

Great steak! Good service. Lovely staff

We went to Inglenook farm in Rainford today A little disappointed that the lavender was not in bloom Also found it was more than 40 mins from Manchester and not really worth the visit The cafe was nice but had only cake and drinks available after 3 pm Didn’t really see any artisan shops either

Nice old pub but food came in the wrong order starters after mains? Portion sizes not the best tasty food but who serves 1/2 a chicken fillet. We had heard great reviews about the places but I do not think we will be returning, bit disappointing.

Went for tea on a Saturday. No booking, just turn up. Staff very helpful and a great service. Photos on next visit.

Not very impressed with the Barn today. They have really let it go. It opened at 10am, we got there at 10.30am. It was freezing!!! Warmer outside!!! Ordered 2x toasted tea cake and coffees. It was cold and over cooked, butter frozen. How can you mess such an easy order up??? ☹️ The toilet had a full bin, come on. 😱

I had a full English breakfast here on Tuesday 22 April 2025. The service was great and the food was amazing. The best cooked breakfast I've had in ages. Would eat here again if I'm ever in the area.

A bit mean with the food , what was served was delicious but not enough, brilliant dog treats and the staff are so lovely and friendly

This is my local Chippy, always a go to! Very tasty food would highly recommend. Ken is a great fry cook.

Little Gem of a place,sat under covering outside,very very friendly staff,food lovely,can sit in with dog if you coose. Thankyou for lovely lunce

Now called the village end. Ordered 2 large lamb kebabs, chips, chicken strips and fudge cake. Pre ordered on the website and all the food came piping hot and my kebab was beautiful on a naan. Got some free garlic bread and my 15 year ate the lot. Good price, well worth Friday takeaway if living in the Rainford area.

This was for years the best Chinese takeaway in the whole St. Helens area in my opinion. In recent years, it has really changed for the worse, the food is so salty and probably full of msg. The only way to describe it are that standards have slipped from being really good to below par, which is a shame for all.
