The 30 Best Restaurant in Newton-le-willows

“Excellent experience tonight with my wife and 2 daughters. Food is excellent as well as the service. Not our local so was apprehensive, found Panchi via tastecard. Made the 30 min journey and have to say will be back. What stands out is they control the heat of their dishes. I've had 2 stars spice in other places and it's blew the head of me. Tonight the spice level was controlled really well. Decent prices as well even better with a tastecard. Parking can be a pain but there is a big car park about 4 minute walk just around the corner and it's free.”

“Spectacular food! My favourite restaurant to go too. Iv been plenty of times and had different meals and it's always been excellent. Staff are very helpful”

“Great little place, travelled to here for a parmo, been from the North East hard to find. Will defo be there again. Photo does not do it justice as I had to get a takeaway one. Be eating in next time.”

“The both of us had an outstanding evening, with absolutely lovely food and such a nice service. We were welcome very warm and looked after perfectly. I would definitely recommend trying out this nice cozy restaurant! Perfect parking directly in the front - everything was excellent”

“We booked Cancello for a family pre Christmas get together for 16 people. Booking was straightforward and they asked us to pre order starters and mains the week before. On arty the welcome was warm and the table prepared perfectly. Everyone’s individual choice was spot on and the quality of the food exceptional. We had 3 young children and a baby in our group, and the staff were lovely towards them. A great venue, lovely atmosphere and superb food. Highly recommended.”

“Just had an incredible experience with the XO fried rice from my go-to Chinese restaurant. The aroma that filled the room when I opened the container was mouthwatering. The rice itself was perfectly cooked—not too dry and not too sticky. The XO sauce, with its rich umami flavor, was distributed evenly, giving each bite a bold, savory kick. Generous chunks of shrimp, char siu pork, and vegetables added wonderful texture and flavor. The balance of ingredients was spot-on, making every mouthful a delightful mix of tastes and textures. A truly satisfying dish that hits all the right notes. Highly recommend!”

“We ordered a take away from their website while on the way home from work. We'd had a busy day and just needed a chilled night. I'm ridiculously fussy, and my partner and I run a restaurant so are picky. The food arrived early. We had salt and pepper chips; chicken fried rice; crispy beef and sweet and sour chicken. Oh my. I've literally never had Chinese food like it. It was clean, you could taste every individual flavour; it was delicious. The delivery driver was really lovely too. My other half suggested it as he's been once before for a collection, and he noted how clean their business is. Absolutely gorgeous food, excellent service and highly recommended. Thank you xx”

“We got cod and chips, sausage and cheesy chips. Fish was very soft and tasty, peas were nice, nice melty cheese and saudagr was warm and crunchy. Nice lunch”

“I've had Donner and Chips from this place a few times now, by far the best I've had in the area. No issue with portion size, tastes really good. Love the red salt (I think) seasoned fries as standard, fresh salad always served separately. Tonight thought I'd give the Pizza a try as they are pretty lacking at other places. Had a 12 inch Mexican with a tub of garlic mayo, wow what can I say, plenty toppings and cooked perfectly. Owners seem like genuinely nice people and you can tell from the quality of food they want to provide a good takeaway. 100% recommend giving this place a try.”

“I don’t understand the negative reviews, my chicken and donner kebab was perfect and the chaps at the shop were lovely, will definitely order again”

“Ordered of deliveroo without looking at these reviews first was pleasantly surprised foods typical pizza shop food not the worst at all and delivery was quick”

“We popped in on the off chance as we’d missed a train and needed a quick scooby snack. Apologies for not taking a photo of the fantastic peri chicken wrap, we was too hungry. But my god it was lovely. And the service stood out just as much, really friendly people, we’ll definitely be back. Thanks again guys”

“Fantastic food complimented by great staff”

“Best chippy around for miles. Never visit the chippy but this one is a real treat and we use it often. The fish served is huge and fresh and you just can’t fault it, the chips are cooked to perfection and the gravy is delicious. The proprietor is serving a tremendous treat.”

“When i first moved to St helens just over a year ago I ordered from here, the food hasn't changed all year, I've ordered about 5 or 6 times and it has never failed to disappoint! The burgers are top notch! The sides are fantastic! The value for money is second to none!! Super friendly delivery service who also told me to keep an eye out for their spicy honey chicken tenders! From here I can only imagine they're going to be fantastic!! 5* on every level!!”

“Absolutely LOVE this place! We have just discovered this little gem and couldn’t be happier. The drinks, the food, the attention to detail and the finest ingredients help make this place one of Newtons best. Lovely owners and lovely staff. Well worth a visit.”

“All in all a great local place with decently priced dinks - few times as we've been, never encountered any issues at all. They do live music occasionally, also a great place to play some pool - quite a few great players frequent here.”

“Visited this restaurant for a meal with the family. It was a beautiful cush setting, rather cosy if you will and felt very homely. All the staff were very friendly and attentive. Their generosity knows no bounds. The food was fresh and mouthwateringly delicious, the selections they have were absolutely divine. I, for one, will highly recommend locals to visit this brilliant establishment. If you love an old school curry made with heart and Bengal devotion, then this is the only place to be.”

“We were looking for a Chinese and found Hong Liang. Just note they ONLY TAKE CASH, so take some. They are very reasonable and the food was amazing and big portions.....the ladies were absolutely lovely too. Absolutely go here as you won’t be disappointed. We had mixed curry with salt & pepper chips, salt & pepper chicken, special chop suey and sweet and sour chicken. Stunning! Absolute recommend it”

“We stayed there last night and we're spoilt. The beer selection was great. So nice to see proper cask ales. The food was top notch. Great menu and superb local, quality ingredients. Thanks to the staff for being so welcoming and providing excellent service to is. Definitely coming back. Thank you”

“Was my first visit today the food was spot on and the staff are very friendly I would highly recommend”

“We've been going to this restaurant on & off for over 30yrs and the food has always been very good, but tonight 21/04/25, we had 4 different meals with starters & we all said the same that the food was excellent, the best we've had anywhere in a very long time. The presentation & timing was perfect, couldn't fault anything, thankyou to all the staff.”

“Extremely small place, very cramped! 4 small tables with limited seating. Very clean, bright and modern. Quickly fills as it seems very popular. Staff went above and beyond to help me order, being super friendly and helpful. Portion sizes are very generous and steaming hot when served or packed for takeaway. Signature Satay Squid Skewer: the sauce was spicy and nutty, and the squid was chewy and smooth. Pork in Cantonese Sauce with rice: the large portion of pork was cooked well; not too tough, but with some bite, and smothered in the Cantonese Sauce with a sufficient amount of sticky rice to soak it up with. The sauce was sweet, sticky and plentiful. Overall, very satisfying food and a generous amount of it.”

“My puppy and I visited here on a long walk and oh my gosh the hospitality!!! Anna saw us looking particularly lost and showed us to the garden area. We were then extremely well looked after. Anna provided us with cushions and an umbrella (to block the sun) and the young helpful lad inside got us both a drink. We were looked after so unbelievably well. I’ve honestly never received such an incredible level of hospitality and appreciate it so much. We felt so welcome. Your team who we met were absolutely outstanding, especially Anna. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend ♥️”

“Lovely little cafe and such affordable meals. The staff are great and will greet you with a big smile. Will be coming here more.”

“Called in for something to eat for tea whilst staying nearby. It was a very nicely done out pub, not particularly busy at the time we arrived. We ordered on the app, drinks arrived promptly and as we were seated near the kitchen area, we had a good view of the food being prepared and served to various other diners. Our food arrived pretty quickly and the young lad that served us was very attentive, popping by the table to check all was OK. We recommend this pub to family we were visiting the next day in Wigan.”

“Lovely food, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere, would recommend.”

“Great clean nutritious food. Owner is a top bloke too. Nice place”

“stunning as always still maintain highest standards of food over the years, lamb chops are my favourite x”

“We tried The Dragon for the first time last Friday 5 April, having been let down by our regular supplier. The food was beautiful, the duck was both crispy and tender and the chicken in the curry and sweet and sour was far superior to what we have been used to. Plenty of home made chips added to a fantastic meal. Will certainly use you from now on.”
