The best restaurants in West Lancashire North West

Such a shame one of the best pubs has dramatically taken a turn for the worse since being taken over. We had to wait 25 mins for drinks and almost 2 hours for food on a quiet Thursday evening, the table wasn’t cleared of empty glasses and plates. The menu is limited and 3 choices had sold out, the prices are high but quality low. The staff were very pleasant and tried their best but clearly the management, and manager on the day, have a big issue to address if they are to retain repeat customers. Sadly, I’ll not be going back

Friday 18th April 2025 Today, I had a pint in this architectural gem of a pub, lots of rooms with old-fashioned feel to the place bar staff. Really pleasant music was the decor to the pub, good clientele, and it was a cosy place to drink in Would have got 5 stars if there were 3 hand pumped ales on tonight

Another visit to Sweeps did not disappoint, I took all the family . Great food , great service in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. I really don’t know why a bother trying out other local eateries , they are never as good as the Sweeps experience and we always end up going back there .

More then 35 waiting at shop for food not happy

Is it just me or have the size off the meals gone smaller

Visited today for Sunday roast and our whole table loved every second, the food was amazing and the staff were lover and super attentive. We will definitely be back soon! :)

We had lunch here today and once again it was really good. We do tend to support this local business and it’s not unusual for us to be in here two or three times per month. Food is always very good, tasty and freshly cooked.

Food was very nice. Coffee excellent when I asked for another shot of coffee to add to my flat white.unfoetunatrly the seat coverings were filthy. So it makes me wonder how clean yhe kitchen is.

Been calling here for many years when coming back from Southport love this little pub it’s a pity I don’t live closer

Food was reasonable. However ridiculously overpriced

Brilliant place, which serves the best Guinness around. Great staff too. -- John Guinness.

I ordered a portion of nachos with my pizza. Supposed to feed two people but it was just a handful although we couldn’t test that theory because what was delivered was a charred pile of garbage. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Had a few drinks at the cock. Great service! Thanks for recommending it Darius

This pub is set in such pretty settings. We didn't eat here but it's on our to do list .

We went on a busy Christmas holiday Monday Lunch. The place was booming and Had a lovely bright atmosphere put out by the staff. It was my work Christmas lunch and we had a wonderful time. The food was amazing, recommended the steak pie and the shepherds pie by the waitress and it was well worth it. The wait for the food even though it was very busy was reasonable for both starters and mian meals and the staff were very attentive. We highly recommend this sweet country pub with its lovely array of food and beers it has a lot of potential to be a good local for drinkers and eaters in the future.
