Friendly staff and general atmosphere.
Opted for lamb out of the 3 choices (turkey, beef or lamb).
Roasties were crisp and fluffy, mash was buttery and not overly "riced" (makes the texture like out of a packet), carrot and swede had butter and a touch of white pepper. Cabbage was seasoned well. Lamb was well done (may put some off who prefer it pink), it had a mustard crust originally from the flavour. Yorkshire was crisp and not soggy.
Cons: Main downside was the stuffing, small amount and dry.
Lack of variation (ie a menu), perhaps due to it being Sunday.
No desserts or starters (again, perhaps due to it being a Sunday).
No drinks pricing around it seemed, not even sure if they do cocktails
Sadly the above con's puts them quite far behind the competition, say the Grapes Hotel etc.
Overall however recommended for what they do actually do. If i make it midweek at some point I will update this review.
Nice pub, friendly staff but very quiet, used to be the best pub in ST Helens for food & entertainment, friday, Saturday & sunday was always a full house, still a nice pub but a pale shadow of what it was
Enjoyed a pint while watching the match spoiled a bit with kids running allover the place .
