Briars Hall in West Lancashire

Sunday Lunch treat which was recommended by our neighbours.On arrival it has a nice big car park so no headache in trying to find a space. Maitre d welcomed us and we sat for a bar drink as our table was being prepared.We looked over the menus and the Sunday Lunch was a carvery, which I am not a fan of, but wanted to give it a try. Several choices of packages for the carvery which I thought was very good, small carvery (2 meats) as a charge or large carvery (4 meats) and then choices on 1, 2 or 3 courses with pricing retrospectively.I went for the large carvery and 2 course plumping for the fresh Pea & Ham soup, whilst my wife went for the same starter but with the smaller carvery.Soup was delicious, thick fresh peas and chunks of lovely ham served with a hot roll and butter, it was really good, and both bowls were empty in quick time.Carvery, I had 2 slices Roast Beef, 1 slice Lamb and 1 Turkey, coupled with roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, Broccoli, carrot and turnip, fresh Yorkshire Pudding and lovely gravy. My wife had the Lamb and Turkey with same veg choices.Roast Beef & Turkey was really tasty, freshly carved from the joint although I thought the Lamb was a bit tough, but the veg and gravy topped off a very tasty Sunday Lunch in my opinion. Wife thought exactly the same, and we would have no hesitation in returning again in the near future.Other diners had huge plates of veg !! so obviously well supported and really good flavours throughout. Nothing was over cooked, and other than the lamb being a bit tough it was a perfect lunch.Service was excellent without being over powering, and the kitchens and serving areas were all spotless something I always look for in a good restaurant.Bar drinks were varied and I plumped for draught Poretti which is a really nice Italian Lager and my wife went for a Orange J20 (driving) service again excellent and well prepared and tasted lovely.Well Done Briars Hall....👏👏

Food here is fantastic, extensive menu all at very reasonable prices, bar meals if you want that or restaurant if you want that were ever you eat food superb, staff and service excellent , really good prices as well we will be back sooner rather than later.

We haven't stayed at the hotel yet but have visited the restaurant several times and are planning to stay at hotel in near future. As far as the restaurant goes, the food is fabulous and the service is amazing, staff were so pleasant and helpful, the roast dinner is the best I have ever had in a restaurant, I would highly recommend trying it out.

Beautiful place. The food we had was OK, but boy did we have to wait for it. Got really fed up sitting there. No one else in the room so no excuses.

Lovely manor house with lots of space for kids and adults outside and in, lovely conservatory and large function room decent quality meals at reasonable price drinks at bar prices not hotel price e.g. Bacardi n coke £3.60 wine reasonable also attentive and pleasant staff Sunday lunch very good and rooms are very nice and comfortable all in all great venue for functions, groups couples or travellers

We had our wedding here in October 2021; family and friends travelled from all over the UK and Italy. We booked out the hotel on the wedding night itself but also had 40+ staying the night before and 10+ the night after.The staff are fantastic, from arrival to departure nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are lovely.. beautiful decor and spacious. There are 2 family rooms however the hotel put additional temporary beds in several more rooms to accommodate our guests who were travelling with children. We had the choice of 2 bridal suites, both beautifully done, one more traditional the other more contemporary but equally good, both have spa baths.The food is excellent, we ate here a few times on the run up the the wedding and loved the food. On the day itself with 95 guests we anticipated a possible drop in quality with so many dining but the excellent chefs and the kitchen staff exceeded our expectations, every meal was absolutely spot on, beautifully presented, piping hot and tasted amazing.All of our guests have without exception commented on the quality of the food, the friendliness & professionalism of the staff and the venue itself. So many have said its the best wedding venue they have ever attended due to the attention to detail, quality of food and the willingness of staff.We can't thank Mark the manager, Karen the wedding coordinator, Steve our Master of Ceremonies, Jayne & Lauren on reception and every other member of the Briars team enough for giving us the most incredible day and the most memorable wedding experience.There aren't enough stars to rate Briars Hall .. if you've never been or are considering holding your wedding here, do it. You won't be disappointed.

Stayed here for a wedding recently....standard rooms ok but the decor is looking tired. Bar area has a good buzz though and a good choice of drinks on offer. Function room through the back was ideal, and the team at Briars Hall did a fantastic job with the room decorations. If you're looking for a wedding venue then definitely one to consider. I have to say that from the cooked breakfast to the shin of beef lunch, the food was delicious! Would recommend...

Visited today after making a booking for Sunday lunch for 4. The best carvery I have eaten in years, tasty hot food, great service with friendly staff, great choice and really reasonably priced. Looking forward to visiting again & will be recommending to others.

Stayed overnight for an 80th party. Everything from start to finish was fab. The food and, the service were 1st class. The rooms were spotlessly clean and so comfortable. We'll done everyone

Where to start... I wish I could give this place 10 stars.Me and my wife got married here recently and I can't recommend Briars Hall enough. The whole day went like clockwork. Food was amazing, the staff are very friendly (special mention to Steve, our MC for the day) and the rooms are spacious, clean and well equipped.Nothing was too much trouble for the guys at Briars Hall and we'll definitely be returning soon.Thank you so much for everything..Paul & Jen Cooper
