I believe there's an Italian in town too, at the back of the Hardshaw Centre, as well as a Thai and a Spanish. Best takeways have to be the Shere-Khan franchises (There's loads of them!).

• Pimmies meat and potato pies have gone to pot (June 2003)due to cost cutting. Its all down hill from now on, you mark my words, after decades of doing it right, why change wot isnt broke, fools!
• not enough decent restaurants in st helens. the ruan thai in hall street is good and colours is fantastic!

• limasol / pizza hut/ maccys/ mings chinese take away / the orange house
• The Pacifica on Westfield street is one of the nicest restaraunts I have ever had the pleasure of eatin in. The food is outstanding and I can safely say it is one of the few gems to be found here. La Casa Veja is also a wonderful restaraunt, hidden away near the Alfred. YOu feel like you are on holiday and the food is lovely
• Pacifica Restaurant is probably the best Cantonese restaurant I have ever been, I can't belive it is actually in this town.
• AFORE MENTIONED "LE PIE" " AND 5 STAR "PIE HEAVEN"
• mmmmmmmmm, mcdonalds, burger king, kfc, pizza hut, what more can a girl want??? first class choice!!
• SANAM INDIAN TAKE AWAY - MILD BUT GREAT. COLOURS THE BEST RESTAURANT IN THE NORTHWEST BAR NONE - AMAZING FOOD , CHEAP AND GOOD PRICED BOOZE. I OFTEN DO BUSINESS MEALS THERE WITH CLIENTS WHO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. NOT FOR THOSE WHO THINK A GOOD MEAL INVOLVES STICKING AS MUCH FOOD ON THE PLATES AS POSSIBLE REGARLESS OF TASTE AND THAT HOUSE RED IS TOMATO SAUCE. GREAT PLACE TO TREAT PARENTS TO A MEAL ON SUNDAYS £8.50 3 COURSES.
• The Bella Roma cafe in George street is a very good restaurant good food with good prices, if your looking for a quick take away why not try the chippy over the road from the conserative club in parr good food only down fall is the woman behind the counter she as a face on her like a slapped arse
• THE JADE GARDEN NEXT TO THE BUS STATION IS GOOD AND A LOT CHEAPER THAN MR CHANS BUT BE CAREFULL THAT YOU DONT GET CAUGHT UP IN FAMILY ROW!
• I can't believe the Bear's Paw is no more. The gravy was the best in the world
• got to be the spunky duck on a friday ( after 9 pints )

• Try the Sin Bin its really cool
• LATHOMS FOR A BABBIES YED AND SPLIT AFTER THE GERARD SPILLS OUT

• Ha ha yeah right. Good pies though.
• The new Burger king...Refillable drinks... Pimmies and chipmunk
• alberts, in thatto heath, cant think of the new name, but it ruled in its time
• Chans Chippy in Knowsley Rd. Five Ways chippy. Keith Skidmore's chippy was great too (It used to be where Chans is now). The best of the lot was the "Golden Dragon" in Cambridge road. Their Sweet n' Sour Chicken was out of this world. Sadly, the owner packed up and moved to Birmingham, so those lucky brummies can enjoy his cooking skills.
• the chippy in haresfinch - nice!
• the helenic for a cheep greek
• With reference to the above message, Pimmy's pies are not bloody cheap, they,re the dearest pies i've ever had! Every time I go in they've gone up another penny. They go up more than Petrol and that's sayin' summert!
• Crispy Cod outside Knowsley Rd Saints. Not bad. Good chips.
• kfc. sorry but it's finger lickin good.
• limmosal
• As a refugee in Kent, may I commend this wonderful website on allowing this poor, long lost, Sintelliner, to share the memories of what is commonly reguarded as the cultural epicentre of the modern universe i.e. PIMBLETTS PIES!!!!!!!!!! We here in Canterbury await the launch of the Pimbletts international same day delivery internet service!!!
• We want a mexican restaurant
• Kebab shop near lowies, get a special kebab (doner,shish,chicken&kofte) a wagon load of meat. Mayfair, WestEnd Road Haydock just before you get to the Huntsman complete breakfast on a massive barmcake(about 12 inch across)
• sanam gods curry house
• latham's before it shut down was fantastic after a night in the gerard arms
• the chipmunk of course
• If you like Indians then try Sanams on North Road.Its amazing.I recomment the Chicken Tikka Masala ,chips, garlic naan and onion baji.Great value as it will come to about £9.50 and will feed two .
• Haydock Supper Bar - Fab Gravy. However, since it's changed ownership, the staff have become CRAP. Same applies to Blackbrook, but the staff are more crap.
• chipmunk chips are top!! haydock supper bar is the cock of all chippies though
• Larkins is worth going to, For a nice meal and a room of your own, but does have a pricey menu!
• Don't touch it please we don't know where it came from.
• mc tuckys hut is best place in town
• The Chunge Wah Just to the left of the Toen hall does the best mixed grill EVER! Also `Allans' little shop on Hammond St Does A FANTASTIC monty! ( that is bacon sausage and egg on toast )...simply heaven and only £1.45 a bargain!. That greasy spoon next to the station was quite good for a breckie, but they keep putting the prices up.
• Chicken Barbeque do absolutely delightful Sausage and Bacon Barms and Cobs. Try the Turkey with Stuffing too. Mmmm.
• Try the new Colours Restaurant or Limosal the Greek restaurant? Top
• Nabis. Something hairy and furry rubbed against my shins here and it wasn't the proprietor's leg.
• Pimblett's pies are legendary. Without doubt they are the pies Meat & Potato pies you will ever taste. Yum.
• According to this page, We Sintellinsers eat more pies that Wigan Pie Eaters...
• Johny Leungs in Chain Lane offers the best Chinese food in St Helens
• Larkins , North Road . Great food , weird staff
• Sammy Livesley Pies, behind the town hall - melt in your mouth the gravy dribbles down your chin from the steak pies and probably the cheapest pies in the world
• Mr Chans - Chinese: v.g.
• Pimbletts Pies
  
• I was amazed to read the Knowhere guide to St. Helens without seeing mention of Pimblett's bakers. Pimblett's are producers of the best pies in the whole of the North-West of England and are the first choice of all St. Helens fiolh. Definitely not one to be missed.
  
• The part I like best about your page is the article on Pimbletts Pies. I have to agree that they are the best pies on the planet. Having spent twelve years in the R.N.and having travelled the globe a few times, I can tell you quite frankly that there is nothing to compare.
  I have lived all over the UK and for several years overseas, but the Gold Standard for pies has to be Pimblett's. Their meat and potato pie cannot be bettered.
  
• One word that can sum up St.Helens is "Pimbletts". This chain of pie shops are dotted around St.Helens and make the nicest pies in the land. The reason it sums up St.Helens is that they're cheap, common, but absolutely smart!!! While I'm on the point of food, Christies Deli at the bottom of Kiln Lane is absolutely gorgeous. All the Saints players go there, and they'll make you any butty you want. The owner is a baldy bloke called Pete Bonati and all the ladies that work there are really friendly.
• Never mind Pimbletts pies - try Birchalls and Blackburns pies as well. Just as good. In Westfield Street and Cambridge Road.
• We now have two (yes, two) McDonalds!!!! One in the town centre, and one just outside - a drive thru that actually has a claim to fame - it has two big 'M's!! No-one else has that!
• One of the best bakers is/was Skellands in Boundary Road particularly for steak pies.
• Tandoori Garrrrr in Westfield Street, looks like a prison, but serves great food.
• Restaurants - Chinese, Indian, Greek, Italian, Thai, ENGLISH (not bad for a smallish town)
• Probably the worst place for grub in the Uk . Honourable exceptions:- Ruan Thai in Hall Street Italian Restaurant next door Palace Indian in Duke Stret Mr Chans Chinese in North Road Otherwise.......see your doctor or go into Liverpool/Manchester
