Details

Liberation Square is a significant landmark and hub of activity in St. Helier, Jersey, situated near the harbour and main shopping areas. At its heart stands the striking Liberation Monument, a bronze sculpture by Philip Jackson, unveiled on May 9, 1995, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Jersey's liberation from German occupation during World War II. The sculpture depicts a group of islanders holding the Union Jack aloft, creating a victory arch, and is set within a circular pool with 12 fountains representing the 12 parishes of Jersey.

The square itself was officially named in 1995 and serves as a place of reflection and a vibrant gathering spot for various events and festivals throughout the year. It is opposite the Pomme d'Or Hotel, which served as German headquarters during the occupation and was the scene of iconic liberation celebrations when the British flag replaced the German Swastika. Liberation Square offers a space for visitors to relax, with an amphitheatre and nearby access to the Liberty Wharf shopping and dining destination, housed in a restored Victorian building.

Had a great lunch yesterday with my sisters. The crab and prawn linguine is delicious. Lots of choice at very reasonable prices. The staff are lovely, great service, nothing is too much trouble.

We sensibly booked online in advance. Food was excellent, if a tad on the pricey side of fair. Staff were friendly enough but clearly stressed, and once we had our dessert we were left on our own. We had to go to the bar to order another drink. Additional waiter required. Atmosphere was good with easy listening musical entertainment. Would we return? Probably, if the staff could be a little more genial.

Food was lovely, good portions too. We were very pleased with the service, many thanks to Elsie, who was very helpful and kind. Provided water for our dog too, which was a kind gesture and much appreciated.

Very nice live music on both nights visited (Friday & Saturday), starts to get busy late at night.

Lots of tables and chairs at different heights.

Staff are friendly and many around to clear tables.

Toilets are downstairs which may be an issue for some people.
