The Saracens Head Restaurant in Ormskirk, Halsall

Reviews

   My fiancee and I stayed overnight in our campervan, initially asked permission. We had an afternoon drink, viewed the menu, booked a table that evening. Our dogs were allowed in bar area, not restaurant. Staff were excellent. They were professional, polite,and humorous. We both agreed, the best meals we have had on a campervan stopover. We will definitely make a point of returning on future travels.

   After a 4-hour walk to get here, I was really looking forward to sitting down and having something to eat at the Saracens Head. On arrival, I was greeted by staff and even handed a menu, which made me think everything was fine. However, when I went up to order, I was abruptly told they weren’t taking any more food orders. When I asked since when, the staff member replied, “just now.” To make it worse, I was then told I could try again at 7:30pm – the time was 7:15pm. Why? I just don't understand. Why not just take my order and add me to the back of the queue? Why ask me to waste another 15 minutes of my time? What makes this even more ridiculous is that the pub wasn’t even busy – not anywhere near 30% capacity. There was no obvious reason why they couldn’t take my order, especially as I would happily have waited for my food. Instead, I was turned away after being given a menu, which just comes across as poorly managed and dismissive. The whole situation was extremely frustrating and a complete waste of my time after such a long walk. It doesn’t take much effort to communicate clearly with customers, and the lack of basic consideration here was shocking. Very disappointing experience, and I certainly won’t be returning. A blessing in disguise really as the pieces are extortionate.

   Nice pub and a good location too, with the river right out back. Food was lovely and service was good. We had a lot of people on our table so they coped well!

   Excellent food and lovely atmosphere! The staff were really friendly and attentive, regularly checking in to make sure everything was okay. We had starters, mains, and desserts – all were very tasty and well presented. The only downside was the pie – the crust was extremely hard all the way around and unfortunately not edible. Aside from that, everything else was great and we’d definitely come back!

   Had a most enjoyable meal here for a Sunday Roast. We stopped off on our way back , to Liverpool, from a weekend break in Southport. It is a highly busy Local Pub & Eateries! We ate in the bar side of house… Food was amazing. Staff members where amazing. We enjoyed every moment from Food, drinks,play area for children…. Also free parking!

   We went on Sunday for roast dinner, had lamb shank and beef. The shank was very small, the beef was taught even though the waiter asked if I want it pink and I said yes. The potatoes were prematurely roasted no colour and tasted like they have been cooked 2 days ago. The ju was amazing, the service was excellent and the starters were tasty, buy we won't be coming back for roast.

   We love this place. Always go and have a little drink by the river while the kids play. Obviously it's a little better in summer but indoors is fantastic if you don't wanna brave the cold. Haven't eaten here yet but food looks amazing
