The Junction - St. Helens

Found this on the internet for a stop off lunch on our journey. Very polite welcoming staff with a good choice of drinks we sat outside in the large outdoor area. There is a nice area for children to play too. We had booked but it wasn’t very busy for a Bank Holiday at the time we visited. Good choice of food from steak to wraps. We had the carpetbagger steak and coated chicken both cooked to perfection and very tasty. Lots of interesting musical item around the pub and lots of weekly events advertised only wish we lived nearer to attend some. Would definitely recommend this place and reasonably priced too.

Ate “On spec” as we’d just called in after our dog walk, and we were not disappointed. Taylor’s farm burgers were delicious as was the piri piri pan fried chicken. Home made chips and deliciously fresh side salad. It’s a must if you fancy a bar meal in Rainford!

My partner and I have been coming here every Thursday evening for 2 years and i always ordered steak and ale pie chips and peas and been served a generous portion, last week i received the smallest piece of pie i have ever seen in my life (not even a child's portion)a handful of chips and half a plate of peas obviously to fill up the massive gap on the plate. Two complaints were made with nothing being done to rectify this or even an apology Needless to say my £110 per month i usually spend here will now be spent elsewhere.

Was taking a lovely trip around the country side and found this wonderful gem, fantastic service, amazing food (cheap prices) and a wonderful atmosphere

Came to the Strum and popped in for a meal. Carbonara, caesar salad with chicken and hot rock steak all of which were fabous! The service and the staff were friendly and efficient. Pub is in need of a little TLC but doesn't detract from the location.
