Really big inprovement on last time brilliant service and food, well worth a visit

Excellent really enjoy it. best one in st helens by far.

This pub changed management a year or two ago. They're somehow connected to the Ram's Head in Longton and the Dolphin (Flying Fish) also in Longton.My Wife and I turned up there early one Saturday evening in June and although we hadn't booked, we were show to a table near the bar which was fine.We're difficult customers in most places being vegetarians and although the menu didn't have a huge choice for us, there were some suitable choices. Strangely, the Salad menu had no vegetarian options. My wife asked whether the Ploughman's were pre-prepared with meat on. The manager said not but that it had so many meat items with it that the meal would be a pale version if these were omitted. He made a recommendation which was excellent.All the staff were very attentive and the manager said that menu options may be reviewed in the future.We've eaten here twice under this management and have booked a table for ourselves and a friend for this evening.I should mention that portions are large, quality is good yet cost is reasonable.(that's three ticks in my book)

Was just driving past at lunchtime today. Called in for a quick bite. What a nice surprise it turned out to be. Wide menu for lunchtime. beautifully prepared meals in lovely surroundings overlooking the Leeds Liverpool canal. Will certainly go back again.

First visit Sunday,excellent food,friendly pleasant staff, will be back.

Very impressed with the new look. Service was greeted with a friendly smile and food very good. Have recommended this to others and shall be back again.

Used the afternoon tea voucher to treat my friend for her birthday and it was superb! Knocked spots off the Midland in Morecambe, The Ritz in London and especially M and S. Well done as the sandwiches were well filled, the cakes and scones delightful and we were even given a box to take home those we couldn't eat. It was a real treat .Thank you !

My partner and I have eaten here many times. The staff are always friendly and the place feels very relaxed. On the menu is a great range of choices to eat, not forgetting the specials menu. Tonight we are going to the Tapas night, which is very popular.

A friendly welcome and the pulled pork butties are out of this world!

A revamped pub which I am glad to say has returned to its former splendour after looking derelict for some time.The food is excellent and so is the standard of service. I have been tempted to try some food I haven’t tried before and now it is a regular. Definitely worth a visit even if the cost is slightly higher. You only get what you pay for.

Visited The Three Fishes in Mitton after its recent makeover. Not sure that it even needed one but I guess it’s good to stay ahead of the game. It has a more relaxed feel inside now and while the menu has not changed radically there are new takes on old school dishes like Prawn Cocktail and Steak Diane. I always thought this place was a destination venue (ie worth the drive out there) and this is still very much the case. If you’ve never been before, give it a go; if you have, check out the new look and the new menu.

Platos is a tapas cafe with all day English food. It used to good, but today we were all disappointed with the fare. Hard cooked eggs florentine and burgers like hockey pucks were discussed around the table. The eggs were replaced at speed and with grace and a smile. Today was maybe, just a bad day at the stoves. I hope so as Platos is a pleasing child friendly venue.

HAVE BEEN GOING REGULARLY SINCE 1982. IT HAS JUST GOT BETTER AND BETTER NEVER HAD A POOR MEAL YET, HAVE TAKEN MANY FRIENDS OVER THE YEARS WHO ALL SAY WHEN CAN WE GO AGAIN. WHEN IT WAS MY LATE AUNT AND UNCLES 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY THERE WAS ONLY ONE PLACE THEY WANTED TO GO, ARTHUR MARGARET TED AND I ALWAYS TOAST THEM WHEN WE COME AND THANK THEM FOR INTRODUCING US TO THE D AND P ALL THOSE YEARS AGO.

Great food and beer, friendly staff we will be eating and drinking hear again and again.

Terrible. Over 25 mins to take your order and over 40 mins to get your main. Food was bland and overcooked. My steak was charred to a frazzle and although it said the antipasto comes with crusty bread it turned up with a stale piece of brown bread. Overpriced, uninspiring and service non existent.

Called up to see if they were still unlicensed and had the phone put down on me! Charming.

The Fenwick has risen again having defeated many, even the attentions of the great Gordon Ramsey. Now run by the Seafood Pub Company of Assheton Arms fame. The menu is not just fish and should satisfy most tastes. . From the outside the pub is not inspiring, right on the road, with a carpark-side terrace. Inside it is plain, almost stark, but very comfortable. The food is a triumphant delight. Superb produce cooked to perfection with side harmonies making up luscious plates. Service is swift, humorous, well informed and very professional. We had a pleasing and very very good lunch and can only hope that this time the Fenwick is here to stay, and will prove a worthy competitor to the nearby Highwayman.

I have eaten here many times over the years and have never been disappointed.The food and service are second to none,I also love the unique atmosphere and the great space to eat in there.First class service always with a smile.
