Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in St Helens

"Situated on the 19th floor of No.1 Spinningfields, 20 Stories is a glamorous restaurant, lively bar and expansive rooftop terrace with unparallelled 360-degree views of the Manchester skyline. 20 Stories serves Modern British menus that celebrate local produce, while the cocktail list pays homage to the vast array of cultures that make Manchester the diverse city it is today."

"I’ve been to plenty of Rooftop bars in my time is this not the first in Manchester (we also have Cloud 23) just opposite at the Hilton. (Which is 3 floors higher!). However, Many of these rooftop bars lack a TRUE VIBE, & they tend to be very “Stiff” places."

"Maray, which has restaurants on Bold Street, the Albert Dock and Allerton Road, is set to reopen its Albert Dock venue next month. In a post on Instragram, Maray penned: "April 12th... "Bookings for our quayside tables at the Docks from April-May are absolutely flying, especially weekends! If your desired date and time isn’t available when you initially check, please try some alternatives on other days/times as we’d love to have you and there are slots at less busy periods."

"Maray blazed a trail with their outdoor booths at the Albert Dock earlier this year. They are super-popular so if you want to enjoy an alfresco falafel fix you’ll need to book one pretty sharpish. There can’t be many better settings for an outdoor lunch or dinner and the seasonal crispy sprouts are worth the trip alone."

"Another #MeatFreeMonday venue, offering a vast range of dishes to chose from!. From 5pm every Monday you can choose any 4 vegetarian orvegan dishes from the menu (including any specials) to share for just £20. You can find Maray in the city centre on Bold Street and Allerton road."

"What to expect: Delicious Indian small plates featuring the Mowgli Chip Butty. For flavoursome vegetarian dishes that you won’t forget anytime soon, a visit to Mowgli Street Food is a must. Perfectly prepared to bring you just the right amount, choose from dishes including the tantalising Yoghurt Chat Bombs, Treacle Tamarind Fries and of course Mowgli’s delicious Chip Butty."

"Mowgli prides itself on showing the truth about how Indians eat at home and in the street. A particular highlight would be the restaurant’s signature Yoghurt Chat Bombs for an explosion of taste. This restaurant emphasises mixing and matching up smaller dishes; a far cry from traditional Indian curry houses."

"A post shared by Mowgli Street Food (@mowglistreetfood) on Jul 26, 2019 at 2:21am PDT. If you’re looking for a dessert with a difference, the Gulab Jamun from Mowgli is perfect!. It’s described as the ‘ultimate Indian dessert.’ Syrupped milk dough balls are served warm with fresh ice cream."

"In February 2020 BC (before Covid) we got all excited with a visit to their about-to-open second Manchester branch on Oxford Road but it remains closed as we pine for a cold beer and a hot bhaji on a long table more than ever. We’ll have to make do with Deliveroo for now. It’s all veggie, as existing fans will know, but vegans have plenty to love from the iconic vada pav to the famous broccoli, kale and onion bhajis."

"This laid-back Piccadilly street food favourite has canteen and booth-style seating, and bespoke artwork nodding to Manchester’s industrial heritage. The informal menu is entirely vegetarian: think spiced okra fries, or bundo chaat, a delightful mixture of crunchy samosa pastry, chickpeas, tamarind chutney and turmeric noodles. An excellent beer list showcases local breweries."

"With acclaim from national reviewers, Bundobust's street food and craft beer philosophy may seem simple, but it's hella tasty. The Manchester restaurant is a must for sharing vegan food; though don't end up squabbling over the bhel puri - a mix of pastry, peas and tamarind chutney."

"Keep an eye out for this one - if you blink you might miss it. The French restaurant can be found in Liverpool’s Cavern Quarter near Mathew Street and serves up authentic French food in a bistro style. The menu changes weekly to make most of the seasonal produce available, so you can go as many times as you’d like and never tire of the menu."

"It’s the perfect mix of the peaceful and stunning location right on the edge of the thriving city that is Liverpool. Quayside offers food seven days a week from breakfast at 8am to meals and snacks until 9pm. You can enjoy the sights of Liverpool Yacht Club or some canal boats or just sit and watch the world go by in this stunning location."

"The restaurant is perfectly situated on Castle Street, away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre so that you can enjoy a tasty meal in peace. The street is currently part of the Without Walls scheme which has allowed local restaurants to expand their outdoor seating areas. Santa Maluco utilises the Brazillian rodizio all-you-can-eat format where you can eat a delicious range of pizzas."

"Maluco is owned by Bold Street Coffee and is probably better known for its lunches and phenomenal wood-fired pizzas than coffee. However, they also serve up a delicious coffee and supposedly the best hot chocolate in Liverpool. Or at least this is what one of their guys told my daughter, who agreed."

"The seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Salford is among the largest Catholic places of worship in the North of England. The diocese, one of the first to be founded in England since the Reformation 300 years earlier, was set up in 1850 while the building was completed in 1848. The architect was Matthew Ellison Hadfield, who designed several Roman Catholic churches in the mid-19th century, all in the Gothic Revival style."

"Kids from age four are going to enjoy exploring this property on 32 acres of picturesque parkland. It offers an ideal space for picnics, kickabouts, and there are bouncy slide and trampolines, pitch n putt, and other outdoor activities that will keep the children busy. Also available for exploration in the garden is the children’s zoo, where they will meet parrots, shetland ponies, ferrets, chipmunks, rabbits, Herdwick sheep, chickens, pygmy goats, red squirrels, geese, guinea pigs, and ducks."

"A treasured monument and attraction in Warrington, Walton Hall is a Jacobean Revival mansion, built in the 1830s for Sir Gilbert Greenall, an MP who had a 45-year career at the House of Commons. The house has been owned by the council since 1941 and hosts chamber music concerts and can be hired out for weddings and other events. Immediately outside the house is a formal garden, while there are ample facilities for families in the park."
