Atmosphere & Setting
Pros:
"The bottle and glass has such a nice atmosphere, always been one of the nicest pubs around st. Helens."
"A great pub in a lovely setting. Staff are wonderfully helpful and the establishment is kept in fantastic condition."
"Beautiful little place to go on a Sunday afternoon."
"Popular pub on outskirts of Rainford. Nice atmosphere."
"The place itself is bigger than it looks, so cosy, I was sat under what I thought was a mirror, until I stood up and found it was a open window into another part of the restaurant ☺"
"The pub is in a lovely area and has nice surroundings."
"This is a beautiful country pub with outdoor seating, perfect on a summer’s day."
Cons:
"This Rainford pub is now looking tired in the decor and carpark and this lack of detail is also reflected in the food."
"It was also really cold in the room the heating wasn't working so a lot of people were eating in their coats."
"The place looks a bit shabby and definitely in need of some TLC."
"Wanted to sit outside in the partial sun, as it's been a fairly nice day. The tables were full of used glasses and crockery."
"In an empty pub, after booking a table online, we were given the worst table for two which was on the walkway to the Gents toilet."
"Although I didn't actually go inside the establishment, there is plenty carpark spaces and ample outdoor eating area with a large designed smoking area which I suppose you could also dine in this area."
"Seems to now being a pub trying to become a restaurant."
