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

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.

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.

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

Came in on Christmas eve. Was extremely busy!! However the vibe was amazing. We were served by 2 lovely girls called Josie and Liv. Regardless of the busy night, the pair of them were amazing, making our drinks quickly and really well mannered. The level of professionalism was off the scale. Thankyou for yet another lovely night in the lion.

First time ever been ,best book ahead for a table as we got lucky. Lovely meals and great place to eat,even got a pudding. Will definitely be returning again.

We visited Santa's Grotto recently with our young daughter and she loved it. Excellent value for money and a great experience. We had food in their Cherry Orchard Tearoom afterwards, the festive Yorkshire pudding wrap was unreal, highly recommend a visit!

Amazing food, lovely staff too and reasonable prices.

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.
