The Griffin Inn in St. Helens

Really good experience. Was extremely busy but was still served in good time and food come fairly fast, was fresh and hot. Kids loved the play area outside. Overall was really nice!

Mothers day shambles.Food was basic.Mothers day roasts were bad.No serving utensils.No napkinsHad to ask for drinks 3 times and then wait over 30 mins to arrive.Last time we ate sunday roasts were amazing!Very nice pub been done up very well.Shame the food was simply below average

Comfortable and large room. Very clean and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Large heated outdoor facilities for a relaxing couple of drinks after a long drive. Would definitely recommend for an overnight stop over.

Been here a few times now and it's always been good. We went on Sunday for a Roast. We both had the moving mountains roast which is a plant based Sunday roast and have to say it was pretty poor.. It was made up of 2 big chunks of soya protein and 3 different veg. Spuds, carrots and greens. For a vegan roast you'd think we'd have more veg Than meat substitute? Now this may come as a suprise but eating plant based we do like our veg. Ordered soup to start and the roasts were brought out first meaning that they were sent back while the soup was brought out. Was asked if we would have our mains at the same time as the starter. Our mains were clearly just kept under a hot lamp and kept warm as the spuds that came back out were tough. And everything went a bit dry. Overall it was a bit of a let down. Don't get me wrong it's a lovely pub and the staff are all really nice and the atmosphere was great but if you're vegan and want to get out for lunch on a Sunday then I can't recommend this place.

Lovely little pub, was there for a funeral so keep that in mind for the review! The room was lovely and clean and cosy, perfect for what was needed. The staff all seemed really friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious, I'm not sure if they're items from the usual menu or not but the seeded bread for the sandwiches was lovely really fresh and spongey if that's the right word for bread! The potatoes in mustard dressing though *chefs kiss* and there was gammon on a platter too which was really nice and not dry as it can be sometimes. Overall I really liked the place and would love to return to sample the menu as a paying customer and most likely will do at some point!

Fabulous food, good menu to choose from. decor is lovely, the staff were very helpful and professional.I Helped a friend to Book a party for a party of 15 to 20 people for todayThe staff could not do enough to help to help us decide on menu.Hope food is as good as we trued out last week.

I would recommend for sure the food is definitely a higher grade than the generic pub grub, so obviously it's slightly more expensive than than ur generic pub prices but however the ratio of price to quality I'd say its underpriced! So my overall summary is go see for yourself you won't be disappointed and I predict that in the summer it will be the place to be with lavish, stylish and contemporary entertainment area at the rear of the building.

Visited the Griffin for food and drinks a few times in the past and found the food to be of a good standard, sadly on this occasion it was a let down. Service was very slow and the food quality poor. They where given feedback to this affect which was simply met with an apology. Will be a while before we visit again.

Had Sunday lunch today just thought we would give it a go without reading any reviews...and what an absolute treat it was food was spectacular plenty of everything and the quality of meat and veg was fabulous aswel Ale was great... cask, and the pudding was divine..service was exceptional very polite and prompt and the heating was full on which made the whole experience such a pleasure...all in all I would highly recommend this place and will definitely be calling back soon thankyou so much.

Went for Sunday lunch. Plenty of choice on the menu and good 2 and 3 course price deals available. Roast beef was excellent. Wasn't particularly busy (12.30pm) and service was quick. Staff were spot on. The only reason for giving 4 stars and not 5 is that the place lacked atmosphere and seemed a bit "cold".
