What makes the perfect roast dinner? Lashings of gravy and two types of vegetables? Crispy roast potatoes or creamy mash?

Where in St Helens serves the best roast dinner?

It’s a tradition that dates back hundreds of years to King Henry VII’s rule in the 15th Century – the roast dinner.

Originally eaten after church on a Sunday, the British classic is eaten by millions every week - for lunch or dinner – and everyone has their own take on what should be served.

In our Best of 2024 competition, we’ve searched for St Helens’ Best for Hair, Best for Pies and Best for Nails and our latest category will focus on roast dinners.

We know there are lots of great places serving delicious roast dinners in St Helens so, let us know who deserves to be featured in our final shortlist and why.

So far in our Best of 2024 competition, we’ve searched for St Helens’ Best for Hair, Best for Pies and Best for Nails with the shortlist for the area’s Best for Nails revealed yesterday, Thursday.
