Bird I'th Hand - St. Helens

Had a night out here recently watching a band. The band was great, the pub not so much. No atmosphere in the place and pretty empty considering a band was on. There was a guy clearly very drunk and kept falling asleep, yet they carried on serving him at least another 4 pints then decided to try and throw him out for being drunk and falling asleep( he wasn't causing trouble and he didn't want to go, I don't get why they were serving him in the first place in the state he was in. It's a shame it used to be a cracking pub. its gone down hill massively.

Friendly staff and general atmosphere. Opted for lamb out of the 3 choices (turkey, beef or lamb). Roasties were crisp and fluffy, mash was buttery and not overly riced (makes the texture like out of a packet), carrot and swede had butter and a touch of white pepper. Cabbage was seasoned well. Lamb was well done (may put some off who prefer it pink), it had a mustard crust originally from the flavour. Yorkshire was crisp and not soggy. Cons: Main downside was the stuffing, small amount and dry. Lack of variation (ie a menu), perhaps due to it being Sunday. No desserts or starters (again, perhaps due to it being a Sunday). No drinks pricing around it seemed, not even sure if they do cocktails Sadly the above con 's puts them quite far behind the competition, say the Grapes Hotel etc. Overall however recommended for what they do actually do. If i make it midweek at some point I will update this review.

No food anymore just drinks. Just saw a family get turned away due to no food anymore. So don't go here if you want food! Sorry to say its by far the worst pub in St Helens!

Visited today for food! It was absolutely lovely! I had the steak melt wrap and my partner had sausage and mash and it was cooked to perfection! The staff are so welcoming and there is such a lovely atmosphere in the pub! Everyone sitting chatting to each other and to top it off! Service with a smile Will definitely be visiting again

Good place to meet after work drinks with colleagues and the gents toilets were done and look beautiful.
