Greeted with a smile and made to feel very welcome. The food arrived quickly and was delicious The food was great value too. The cake is baked on the premises and is amazing! Would highly recommend the carvery, the best one I've ever been to so far! read more

Exceptional service by Kim tonight food was lovely it was busy Saturday night about 730 but we got food quickly

Breakfast very poor and information incorrect / misleading Searched Trip Adviser for a restaurant for breakfast, and came up with two, decided to go for the one we arrived at first, sadly I wish we had carried on to the other one. The signs and web site say weekend Breakfast, from £3.99 we arrived on a Sunday to be told no breakfast but eventually told we could have the one on the menu, this was more expensive, did not include extras, tea/coffee etc So it went from £11.97 to £30.24 No where does it say Breakfast only served until what ever time. We eventually ordered, and when the meal arrived it looked good, but when I pointed out to the waitress the eggs were over cooked, she snapped at me, well I can get more but you will have to wait !! like it was my fault, no apology. The new eggs arrived, and we started, the sausages were so poor I doubt a dog would eat them, hash browns, mushrooms terrible, bacon too salty to eat (one persons was ok) how can three meals be different, so when I passed my over salty bacon over, the person next to me could not eat it, said it was completely different, toast was fine. Reluctantly we decided to complain when the plates were collected, what is the point no sorry about that, or even a care, so it must be common that food is poor. The place was packed, so either we were unlucky and overcharged or breakfast was off. read more

For the Chain this is quite a nice example! With its location close by the East Lancs Rd to Liverpool it's not like a motorway side little chef At all Being there on a Saturday lunch , nice background music and a nice booth I was looking forward to lunch . Food was as expected to be pub grub but done well. Crispy chips ! Home made coleslaw and really good cheese on my burger ! Good took about 15-20 minutes to arrive and was very good. The ice cream selection again is like all of these chain pubs ! But this is far better than the applewood from further down the road near Astley There is a busy pub quiz on a Tuesday night ! Worth a pub lunch trip . Large on site car park ! Bar was reasonably priced as well The only reason this was not 5 stars was on the basis of the staff in the front of house ! The manager seating us at our table ( two of us arrived before our parents ) seated us at a tiny pokey table in the bright sunshine . So I asked to be moved to be told there were no free tables ! So we sat down and as I went to the toilet. Spotted a booth not 30 seconds after being told it was full. I asked a waitress if it was reserved she said no so now we had a lovely booth! Also several of the staff were very loose lipped behind the bar ! read more

Lymewood Farm - British Near Me - St Helens, XMS

The lyme wood farm is a great and friendly place for a bite to eat, the menu has alot to choose from such as a cavery or burger and chips and also with a children menu it can cater for the full family, Also with a relaxing atmosphere what more could you from a restaurent. The food is great quilty no matter what you order, but the main seling point of the lyme wood farm is its giant deserts from cheese cake to choclate fudge and if you dont eat it all you can wrap it up and eat it at home bu to be honset there HORRIBLE and in my opion that really lets them down they look good on show but when there on your plate they just look naff. If youre looking for a restaurent that has a play area for kids and does good food you should definlty go there.Thats why i gave the lymewood 4 stars because the deserts let it down read more

Cake....huge cakes.... Seriously, the cakes at this place are works of visual art and I will disagree with the previous reviewer and say that they actually are rather nice. If you have issues with insulin you may wish to share a slice with a friend and you do have to keep in mind that this is pub food and not gourmet grub. As a frequent visitor to Haydock (my in laws are based here), I often find myself at Lymewood Farm during a visit. It is an inviting venue and whilst clearly a pub doesn't feel overly 'pubbish'. It is clear that families are not only welcome but encouraged but they don't 'kiddy' up the place either. The food, as I mentioned, is pub food but of a decent quality. They have a carvery option but we always order from the menu and have yet to find much to complain about with our orders. Again, it isn't going to be Michelin Star cooking. It is clear that just like most other pubs a lot of this stuff is heated rather than cooked. However, if you are looking for a place to hang out with some friends with a pint and a decent meal you won't go too far wrong. Don't forget the cake! read more

It's hard to believe this is a chain pub - but don't let this put you off! This newly (ish) built pub is ideally located on the east lancs, with adequate car parking and a nice interior. Menu has a vast selection on offer that caters for everyone - proper home cooked grub of very good quality. Probably the best place in this area to have a carvery! Famous for their huge desserts and homemade ice creams - you must try them! Added bonus of a 'cakeaway' if you prefer to enjoy these delights at home! Bar is well stocked and well staffed. Can get very busy here but well worth the wait! Quiz on a Tuesday is excellent and highly recommended. Overall a very good quality pub where you won't be disappointed! read more

Been to lymewood meny time's and the cake is the reason i go... the food is nice and i have never had a bad meal but it can get very busy with sometimes waiting a while to be seated.. that just shows you how popular it is. You cant book so go early and the desserts can be boxed up and taken home has they are quite big but to be fair some of them have to much chantilly cream in them making them look big and the choux pastry is on the dry side so i avoid them cakes, other wise they are lovely. Service in general is good but the bar lets it down, i have waited so long for drinks that my food came before i got served. Adults without children are in the front of the pub while families are at the back making it better for couples not wanting to be bothered by kids. read more

Discovered lymwood a few years ago and have loved it ever since. It's a great chilled atmospheric place for both family meals and leisurely outings. They even have a quiz night! Despite not knowing many answers I still had a blast! Certainly a place I shall keep going back to read more

Came to Lymewood Farm with the family, on arrival I seen other people from my family and wanted to sit with them, but was told it was an adult only area? As we had children with us. We where then seated towards the rear of the restaurant where there was a child's area with lot of arcade machines, not really suitable for all ages of kids. The staff seemed friendly and helpful the food was hot and well presented. The food tasted good highly recommended. The reason for four stars. Five if a little more helpful over seating arrangement . read more

Food was gross. The bar wrote down the wrong table on our order, and we ended up waiting 40 minutes to get fed. Avoid this place if you can.

My husband and I went here for breakfast which we paid for in advance, my husband got the buffet breakfast and I got a bacon and egg roll which was not very nice as I felt like I was just eating salt. When my husband went up to get his buffet breakfast, he was told he had to wait 10 minutes for his sausages. I'd almost finished mine before he was told his sausages were ready. He then wanted scrambled eggs when he went up, he was told it would be another few minutes for them so he opted not to have any as he had already waited long enough. I had ordered and paid for the bottomless coffee and toast, when I was ready to order the toast, I was told that as it was 11am the chef would not do it (menu states available until 11.30). I explained I'd already paid for it and not had any yet so she reluctantly agreed to get some but looked like I was really putting her out by doing so. I was incredibly disappointed by the visit and will not be going there for breakfast again. read more

We walked in to find it nice and the play area was good but in need of some TLC and the staff was unfriendly. The food was okay but until it's staff and play area is revamped it maybe a while until we return. read more

Poor service, cold food, over cooked steak, staff that couldn't give a monkeys, dirty table, used cutlery on the floor under table, I could go but why bother, I know I wont be going again, read more

Gypsey1978 has a point about customer resentment. I feel a bit miffed that I can't wear a hat, enter with 4 other men below the age of 30 & have 2 sit/stand in a designated area if I want 2 drink alcohol. Rules rules rules, & stupid rules at that. The owners clearly want 2 attract clean cut, classier public, which is fine, but the food & drink, service & overall presentation doesn't back up or deserve these type of regulations. Walk into Lymewood & you'd struggle 2 find anything that would set it apart from any other gastro pub. On the plus side, the food is pretty good and reasonably priced & half decent carvery is available. The thing which Lymewood specialises is the desserts. There are always a wide range of treats & cakes available 4 eating in or 4 'cake away'. These cakes are ever changing & freshly made. Shame that the ale is a bit on the pricey side. read more

II visited here with my almost 3 yr old and my 6 month old on a Friday lunch time and my friend. We had to 'fight' with the member of staff to let us sit at a large empty table by the play area, he told us we couldn't sit there just incase a larger party came in, even tho the table of the same size next to it only had 2 people sitting.g at it, he said they were waiting for people, they were, another adult and a child arrived sometime later. We did move tables once a smaller table became available tho. The food was nice, although the prices unexpected, I ordered an adult jacket potato with cheese and beans that was served with a side salad, and a child's smaller portion of a jacket with cheese and beans, however the child's smaller portion was more expensive than the adults??? They did allow me to swap it, and I'm glad I did, because they were only average size portions, and my toddler managed to eat it all up! The other price that surprised me, was the soft drinks, one diet coke, a blackcurrent cordial and tap water and a lime cordial and tap water came to £4, even if the coke was 2, a pound each for a squirt of cordial and some tap water? I don't know actual prices, as I wasn't given a reciept. But overall an ok lunchtime meal out :) read more

serves up a very tasty carvery and other foods aswell. if you attend in large numbers (15+) some of you will have to have the carvery no questions asked as the kitchen cant cope cooking so many meals at once. sign on the door saying no groups of lads greater in number than 3 if under 25, which is a bit ageist and sexist of them as when girls of that age get to gether then can be just as loud and crude as lads. gets very busy most sundays so arrive in plenty time to search for a parking spot and to Queue up! read more
