I lived in Silkstone St when I was growing up was my favourite pub to have a drink with my friends,,this pub was majestic from outside and in,,I was meeting my 2 cousins for a drink and a catch up,as I live now in croxteth park liverpool,they live in st helens,,I have at times called in for a drink many years ago,and it always looked nice,,,sadly on Sunday night when I was meeting my 2 cousins,I was very disappointed when I entered the bird in'th hand, very dull inside,needed a good overall in painting and decorating it,,it used to be like a very nice family pub,a long way from what it is now, the outside as always was impeccable,the barmaid a lovely blonde haired girl was so friendly,the service from was superb,she looked after us very well and took our photo,,,thank you my love,,kevin kerr
Good, big pub. Dog friendly and staff were very nice.
Nice pub, friendly staff but very quiet, used to be the best pub in ST Helens for food & entertainment, friday, Saturday & sunday was always a full house, still a nice pub but a pale shadow of what it was
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.
