The Turks Head — Restaurant in St Helens

I love love this pub but for me the last 18mths the food has gone so down for prices. 22.95 for a shared platter tiny tiny tiny crock pot of stew (very nice) just so. Tiny for a shared platter. Frozen hard roast meant to be salted potatoes. And to finish off the platter was stale bread. This pub is amazing very friendly girls. However my disabled nice fell up the few stairs as couldn't manage them with her single drink. Not one offer to replace her drink for no charge, and they could see she struggled and had only just walked in. For a pub I love that is aways so busy thought that was a tad wrong one as she was so embarrassed. So for this feel you like taking the money but could go a bit above the standered service. They win awards for. The food is no longer wooow and bit 😝 for the prices your charging. People will cont to still go as you have the neash on the market of the town. This is possibly third time I have eaten and thought sorry no portions have so shrunk and not as nice food. Few years ago food was exceptional. Now I feel hit and miss. Tonight just on me and my niece you got about 100 between us for restaurant prices not even take away quality and size. So so sorry aways leave you 5 stars but this is third time it's been well below...

Traditional local which has deservedly been runner up as national pub of the year in the past. Sadly neglected by local CAMRA branch but supported by other branches. Good quality drinks at reasonable prices. 12 ever changing handpulls plus a range of real ciders and perries. Foreign beers also available on draught and in bottles. Food now enhances the experience. knowledgeable staff and loyal customers. Nice comfortable atmosphere and real fire in winter. Age range 18 - 99 and all welcome. quiet pub good for discussions or reading beer mags. Popular quiz nights and beer festivals throughout the year. Has own brewery and often carries own range as well as good selsction of lightand dark beers. Bar popular during sports events. Pleasant beer garden and separate games room. Well worth a visit and once you've found it you will be back...

Not been for a good while and was again warmly welcomed as soon as I walked in. Upon bar managers recommendations Had the sirloin steak and with peppercorn sauce. Absolutely cooked too perfection and staff were extremely attentive checking both you and food was good. And it was!

Went in with stress levels around ten...came out and they were about 2..

Great food, great atmosphere lovely staff

10/10 from me
