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

A great evening for the four of us. Excellent service and food. The ribeye was exceptional. Fair pricing and great atmosphere. So nice to have a place like this locally. Live music on a Friday is such a nice touch. Staff very courteous and helpful and didn’t rush us out, more than happy for us to finish our drinks. Already looking forward to our next visit.

Ordered these cupcakes for my dad’s 80th birthday and they were perfect . Attention to detail is amazing and they taste incredible ! Thanks

We went for a baby shower, We were given afternoon tea. All the food was delicious, served with a choice of teas, coffees and soft drinks. Staff were friendly and helpful. Looking at the menu, there was also plenty of choices for breakfast, lunch and brunch at reasonable prices. Would recommend the cafe.

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

My favourite cafe, I go at least twice a month. The food and drinks are lovely and it's a nice cosy local for us 🥰. Also has a good range of vegan options. Friendly staff, clean cafe and great prices!

Had fish, chips and peas last night, best I've tasted in ages 😋

The restaurant is the best restaurant in St Helens . The service is perfect the food is delicious

Overall, we enjoyed our visit. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with friendly staff and a good menu selection. Quick service adds to the positives. However, parking could be an issue—if you time it wrong, you might end up leaving hungry. Despite that, we’d definitely go again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Service a little slow but otherwise ok.

Popped in on the off chance on the way to a concert. Seated us both very quickly and with a smile. Ordered Dim Sum and 2 duck dishes as a main with salt and pepper chips and noodles to share. Food was excellent, hot and tasty and full of flavour. Speedy and attentive service too. Well worth a visit

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!

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

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.

After passing on our way home we decided to order a takeaway. Fabulous flavours and we will definitely be ordering again Thankyou

Excellent local pub great staff great choice of beers very good for watching sport always a great atmosphere the best pub in Rainhill
