Hammer Pincers - Halton

We held my husbands 60 th birthday party at the pub now renamed The Woodlands and what a fantastic night we all had. the newly refurbished pub was of extremely high standard every one of our guests commented on how beautiful the function room was. The food was incredible and they had prepared vegan/vegetarian separately all food was exceptional. The function room had its own bar and The bar staff were so friendly and kept a well stocked bar for all our guests. Rachel and Lee ensured we had everything we needed and Rachel kept checking with me to make sure our experience met our expectations. At the end of the night the staff made sure we all got our transport home and helped us carry the gifts, cake and even packed up some of the buffet for us to bring home. Everything on the night not only met our expectations but exceeded them. Highly recommend

Came here with my family and had a great meal, great prices for what we had and well cooked and presented, best steak I’ve had for a long time, asked for a blue steak but had to settle for a rare one but it was lovely, the apple crumble was delicious but too much to finish, I will definitely come back when I’m next down from Scotland,

We went in today for tea with our two young children, my daughter ordered a lasagna and I had to send it back since it was dry and burnt due to being microwaved excessively! The other meals where edible at least but I quite difficult to get an all day breakfast seriously wrong! The staff where young but friendly and apologetic and offered to provide a new meal but at this stage the pub was getting very full and rowdy so we decided to leave with our meals half eaten! I have eaten here a few times in the past and it’s always been really pleasant but today it was evident that no thought or care had gone into making the food and it was basically just a case of throwing anything on the plate to get it out of the kitchen! We won’t be eating here again unfortunately!

Home from home, the welcome was as warm as the chilli was hot. 10 out of 10. I think I may well go again.

I can honestly say this was the worse food I’ve ever had, the medium rare steak was well done and dry and the fish was totally inedible, dry and over cooked!!! Same as the chicken on the roast dinner totally inedible dry like rubber and over cooked, The amount of food being sent back was terrible. Out of seven meals on our table 6 were left, The managers attitude is as awful as the food, refusing refunds for food you couldn’t eat. I doubt you would eat the food you cooked today!!! The carpets are filthy and the ladies toilets are disgusting!!!
