The best restaurants serving British food in St. Helens North West

Fancied lunch that wasn't Spoons, and St Helens town isn't known for having a good selection of places to eat at lunch. I'd been here before when it was Vigor. A quick Google told me it was open for lunch so off we went. The food and service were perfect and reasonably priced for the quality. St Helens needs more places like this but we've definitely found our go to place for a nice lunch out.

Fab Taylor Swift cupcakes & birthday cake!

Nipped in for a quick bite whilst waiting for a friend. I opted for the breakfast Bap, and it was lovely. Great filling and nice crusty bread

In need of a major makeover and the food although cooked fresh was very bland and the chips dripping in grease and the 'cod' batter was undercooked and no where near crisp - very disappointed in every aspect unfortunately

Great value, lovely food and attentive staff, especially Antonio and Barbara .

Great food and brilliant service

Beautiful pub. Excellent all round. Wonderful staff. We travel from Manchester to eat here!

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.

So glad we have this local coffee shop! Food 10/10, I had a vegan breakfast, it was a very good sized serving, lovely and hot, you can add on extras if needed. They have a few other vegan options too which is great. The staff are lovely, and the dining area is very clean. Would highly recommend!

Great restaurant serving exceptional Chinese dishes. Never visited before, wanted a restaurant near the train station I was being picked up from and this was on our way home. Ordered crispy duck for two with pancakes and hoi sin, followed by two more dishes and rice. Lots of choice of drinks. Owner came over and chatted to us, very friendly atmosphere, would certainly recommend and if we are in the area again definitely visit.

Amazing food, great service from both bar and restaurant staff - a little on the pricier side, but you fully get what you pay for here.

Great little gem A very old fashioned cafe Food is great Never disappointed us always happy Staff friendly My friend said afternoon tea is great

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.

Well what a complete disgrace of a s¥#t hole this place is. We ordered a per order takeaway. We never got what we ordered with the main items missing, is was cold we ordered a mix grill and we got a bag of slop. I’ve eaten in approximately 30/35 Indian restaurants over the years, and I’ve been in some shocking places. But this one beats them all hands down. I’ve been on the toilet most of the night with horrendous stomach pain. My partner dodged a bullet because she thrown hers straight in the bin. Please if you’re hungry and thinking of using the pink peal Indian restaurant Earlestown,save some money and go and have a look in your neighbour bin to see what you can find. It will be more edible

Great local pub, live music and decent selection of drinks
