Quick info
About The General Elliot, Croft
The General Elliot, Croft is a British restaurant and public bar on Lord St in Warrington, set inside a 17th-century building with a garden patio. The menu draws on British and global dishes, with Korean BBQ wings, crispy panko prawns and halloumi fries alongside an artisan bread board and marinated olives and peppers, drawn from a 37-dish list. Sunday brings a set lunch with vegetable Wellington cooked from scratch, roast beef and Yorkshire puddings, followed by lavender frangipane or Jersey ice cream, and 3-course meals are offered. A weekday deal gives 50% off mains. The building opens daily and takes walk-ins rather than bookings. Outdoor seating extends into a beer garden with views, adding space beyond the bar and dining rooms inside the old structure.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the friendly staff and the pub itself, with its beer garden and sunset views. A Sunday roast earned praise for a perfect Yorkshire and generous, tender beef, though one reviewer wanted more flavour. One reviewer found a cold, dry lavender frangipane and barely vanilla jersey ice cream disappointing, and another found the food small.

“We visited for the first time having seen the 50% off mains deal on a weekday. The pub itself is lovely, lots of seating inside and massive outdoor area with nice views. Staff very attentive and friendly. Food was nice but very small …”

“We visit my son in Newton le Willows every fortnight and we always go for a 3 course meal every time. We visited the pub on 11/07/2026. We were aware that the food prices were more expensive than the other pubs we had visited, however, the menu looks good and we weren't disappointed. Food, service and staff are excellent. Pub is immaculately clean and a pleasure to eat at. We usually pay around £125 for 3 courses and drinks, this was £163. It was worth it for a treat! We tend to revisit a pub if we are happy. I would revisit and recommend but I wouldn't go back on a regular basis because of the price. Perhaps consider with a Blue light discount like The Swan. Thank you for a relaxing family meal.”

“Really decent pub food, friendly service. Great value in a nice location. Wish we’d spotted the beer garden sooner - incredible sunset views”

“Went for Sunday lunch. Long wait (45mins) because they didn't tell us that the vegetable Wellington was cooked from scratch. Amazing presentation, perfect Yorkshire not just the giant crispy ones that you get some places. Roast beef very generous portion and very tender but didn't have the most amazing amount of flavours. Lavender frangipane was cold, dry, small and flavourless, very disappointing. And their jersey ice cream was barely vanilla tasting. Bit disappointing overall but would probably try again to give the benefit of the doubt because the staff are lovely, the presentation is great and it's a nice venue.”
