Quick info
About The Looking Glass
The Looking Glass is a pub in Warrington on Buttermarket St, with a bar, an upstairs room and a corner balcony. The kitchen serves a traditional English breakfast until 11:30, plated with sausages, hash browns, bacon, eggs and beans on toast. A mixed grill is offered once breakfast hours end. The large food menu includes vegetarian options, so a group with different orders can share one table. Real ales are on the bar, and big TVs show sports. The pub keeps a traditional English feel, with music playing in the background.

Customer Review Summary
The full English breakfast is what reviewers mention most, with the sausages, hash browns and bacon singled out and the portion described as large enough for two. A Sunday roast and a mix grill also draw praise, and diners call the food good and cheap, with a vast menu and good vegetarian options. Staff are described as friendly, pleasant and hard working. The main complaint is the look of the place: reviewers call the interior dark, drab and grim, and say it needs a revamp and a coat of paint. A few add that the pub is loud and brash, with big TVs showing tennis for vocal sports fans, and one found a real ale that tasted of blackcurrant. One roast diner would rather the gravy come on the meat than in a little pot, yet a forgotten mash potato arrived within minutes and the mint sauce came right away.

“Possibly the most dirty disgusting pub ever visited. Wipe your feet on the way out. Can't tell difference between carpet and pavement. Doors tables disgusting.”

“A traditional English pub, with the classic smell of stale beer throughout. Somewhat dark and drab aesthetic. Could do with a revamp. Although the service was fine and the food pretty decent. A vast array of choices on the food menu with good vegetarian options. The big TVs were showing tennis to the contentment of the loud sports fans.”
