Colours is a restaurant with a difference, and it's certainly one which shows its true, er,…read morecolours, rather than offering a misleading facade. Situated in St Helens, it's a gem of a spot with excellent service, polite and attentive staff, superb fresh and skilled cuisine and comfort for everyone, whether you're a large group, a family or a tiny little couple. Its regularly changing menu keeps life interesting for the workers and customers alike, but why, pray, at this quality, is it so darn cheap? The answer's simple. A lot of what you're being fed comes from learners. Yep, some of the catering students from St Helens College actually conduct their training here. You shouldn't at all let that change your opinion of the place. Each and every kid here will be putting 110% effort into their dishes and have the enthusiasm of youth on their side, and you can certainly taste the pizzazz. It's a new and unusual option as not often does one get to taste the results of a good education but I can highly recommend it, and those that love the restaurant have trusted it for years. Give it a go - you might learn something yourself!

Inside the restaurant is neatly set out with a contemporary modern feel. The menu is awesome, very adventurous and their dessert list certainly passes my criteria. D E L I C I O U S! Emma-Louise has filled you in on the detail on why the food AND prices are so great, so I won't go into that. What they also do - but I don't think they do enough - is the themed nights, running from Nov to June and including an italian evening, burns night, valentines, mother's day, 70's evening, greek evening, chinese evening and father's day. Oh let there be more!

A good variety of chinese dishes and desserts - if you want it, they've probably got it! Nice touch of a 'make your own' teppanyaki area, which is freshly prepared in front of you. Freshly made pancakes also avaliable. Food is probably not as fresh as it could be, and is usually warm rather than hot. Is also quite expensive than your average chinese, could probably get same quality elsewhere for cheaper!

First of all, the place is decorated spiffingly. Literally. Spiffingly. It's astonishingly gorgeous, just my kind of quirky decor - a ceiling plastered in newspaper, lovely quaint wooden features, neutral and pastel colours... the whole thing looks like it could have come out of a Hans Christian Anderson story. There are plenty of French favourites on offer like starters of a twice baked cheese soufflé, French onion soup gratin, tartlet with spring vegetables like asparagus, mushrooms and spinach, and more unusual options such as black pudding with chicken roulade, Thai fishcakes, potted shrimp with warm brown toast and hot smoked salmon or tempura veg. I'd call it a more Modern European affair to be honest with its additional pastas and risottos (the spaghetti with salmon and lobster is just heavenly indulgence) and you can have these in small or large portions. The sharing platters are excellent value and mains like lamb shank, duck breast, baked chicken, pork trio, a filo parcel of sun-blushed tomato, goat's cheese and spinach, all of which occupy the fusion cuisine spectrum Le Frog seems to operate within. Oh and there's steaks for the super carnivorous. The side orders aren't just supporting actors here, they're stars. Veg are cooked perfectly al dente, the broccoli hollandaise is delicious, I'd highly recommend the breads with dips and you can get potatoes in many forms - French fries, Cajun fries, garlic and chive mash and even the garlic bread comes in three varieties. All of these are stonkingly good value at under £3 each! Sorry about the dreadful pun, but I'm hopping crazy for Le Frog. See if you agree.

I hate frogs, but I like this place. Never really been a fan of French cuisine, more weird than…read morewonderful I'm afraid. However I was told the menu also carries a Mediterranean twist which worked in its favour!! I was unable to find my peace with the decor of the place, yes the decor is quirky but is it cool?? I wasn't so sure.....you'll have to decide yourself. The food, well again I must say if I'm honest I have had better. It lacked substance I thought. Perhaps the French have over the years had so much red wine with their food that their taste buds have been filed down. My marinated breast of chicken lacked a bit of umph!! The lemon, thymed and garlic chicken was served on roast vegetable cous cous with chive creme fraiche. I'm not sorry at all that my taste buds are absolute whores!!!!! Yes they are , they have been around the block and indulged in every fit cuisine around and had their way ever which way. This meal didn't quite do it for me. Having said that I did only try one of the mains and I'd like to try some of the other ones. Perhaps an update is needed. I'm sorry froggy it takes more than a decent decor to impress me son!!! We'll meet again and we 'll see if seconds are any better!!

They are members of the just eat service meaning though they are a one off independent pizza parlour you can still order your food online. They have all various offers you would expect from a pizza place. The food is lovely and I order from this place regularly. If there is one downside it is that the staff do not understand english very well. The prices are very cheap when constrasted with pizza giant pizza hut. There can be around £2 in difference for a pizza of the same size when compared with pizza hut - with chicago being the cheaper. They have changed the layout recently and it seems to have made the floor area smaller but there are still toilets for customers to use and a few tables for you to eat inside if you should desire to do so.

First thing that hits you when you walk inside is the smell of coffee, but this is good, it makes you feel at home and like you're in a different place rather than St Helens. The walls are littered with art (which is for sale) but I am unsure whether its by local artists (I will ask next time). There is a good selection of drinks behind the bar and there is a heated smoking area through the back, which is sheltered. There is also couched located toward the end of the bar where you can relax and chat with friends.

A sign of things to come : not that much Seated in a small window booth overlooking the beautiful view of wilko. There is a menu online and it shows one price then another on the actual menu in the venue. They were off by a few pounds ! Anyway staff seemed relatively attentive when they weren't busy cleaning cutlery that had already been clean or pacing the laminate. The style of service felt to me that this was a relatively new venture as they had a cloud of staff appear throughout us eating to ask the usual questions ( is everything ok etc) . Just pick one serving staff and stick to your table The menu showed us a Friday and Saturday night set meal so we opted for that considering the price would have been higher ordering normally Starters of falafel and hummus was very nice and the bread was excellent ! But when it came to the main for the price you pay 1) you expect a sauce nf not to have to pay and extra £5 for two sauces. 2) it not to be thrown on the plate with rice all under the edge of the plate 3) it be on a HOT plate - basics really and finally 4) the food to be served together so when we ordered our mains and they arrived. Unbeknown to us we got a small side salad with BBQ onions but these were served about 6/7 minutes after our meals had arrived The meat and rice were nice but the Adana pictured was very greasy and felt like needed longer cooking All in all I rate this place as a 2.5 Points ; Price to high Cold plates Need a consensus of who serves who! Will possibly return but will bide my time !

We were given 10% off the bill which was a nice gesture however doesn't stop me giving my review I won't be going back and I recommend other alternatives. Not a good start Yasmin
