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

Service a little slow but otherwise ok.

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!

Been to this pub many times over the years and it has been excellent. However in expecting the same service ( which was very good) was not match by the meal we had. Beef and ale pie was horrible, the meat was very tender But spoilt by the whole dish being far too unreasonable salty. Offered a quiet complaint to a waitress, who naturally apologised and said she would tell the chief. I do not think this was done nor did any of the management come to explain what the chief 'thought'. So if any meal is not immediately to your liking - make a complaint after the first mouthful, do not wait for the forth / sixth time of teasting to be convinced the meal is bad. One might assume the management has a different opinion, to deal with a disappointing meal. This may have been a one off experience but I'd be more cautious; I know people's individual teast differ but try taking spoons full of salt half dozen times and enjoy, most unlikely.

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

We love it here great atmosphere, great for family's and more than anything some amazing food!!! I have been here for all different occasions though out the year. I have celebrated my little boys christening and my little girls birthday meal here also and I can't thank the staff for everything they did from start to finish to let us make our day/night Speail. We love Sam, she's amazing every time we are here she puts her self out of her way help others and nothing is too much trouble for her. All the staff are amazing and just make each experience so much better!!

Ordered sirloin steak medium rare. Steak arrived massively overcooked with a few insipid chips and a hideous salad - won’t go again

Had a lovely evening to celebrate 2 birthdays, the food was great and the staff were amazing the lady waiting on us was great couldn't do enough for us ,would highly recommend

Shocked at how much my total was for 2 "pots of tea for two" £11.80 The pot of tea isn't that big and between us got 3.5 cups between us out of each pot. I'm a big tea drinker and been to many lovely cafe settings and had bigger pots for cheaper. Disappointed

We recently had a fantastic meal at the Colliers Arms. The steak was cooked to perfection, the fish and chips were crispy and delicious, and the cock and bull was a hearty and satisfying meal. The food was all incredibly tasty and reasonably priced. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

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. 😱

Credit where credit is emphatically due! We popped in for breakfast the other morning, only to be met by what can only be described as a phalanx of the friendliest staff you could ever wish to encounter. And, my word, what a breakfast it was! A truly resplendent English spread, in a pub that exuded charm and individuality. None of this soulless, microwave 'ping' malarkey you get with the dreary chain establishments. No, no, this was the real McCoy—proper British hospitality, by Jove! An absolute triumph and a welcome respite from the mundane. Bravo!

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.
