Totally fake but rather well done rustic decor in this large chain pub located on a retail park. The food, from a standard pub menu, looks good. They were doing a roaring trade when I visited on a Wednesday afternoon in 2010, less so on a Thursday in 2019, and not too bad on Saturday in 2025.
Last visited April 2025.

The pleasant decor is rather hard to categorise in this enormous pub in the Hungry Horse chain, doing a good trade in food even on a Wednesday lunchtime in 2019, much quieter in 2024. The menu looks good value.

A plain well looked after boozer knocked through into one room. Naturally packed during "National" meetings, pretty empty and very green when I visited on St Patrick's Day afternoon. A large notice advises that "NO BASEBALL CAPS OR WOOLY HATS ETC ALLOWED".
Noted closed and tinned up in 2018. To be demolished for housing.

A plain, clean and tidy large open two sided pub knocked through around an island servery. Interior decor is very well done, and the exterior paintwork is stunning.

Red Rum (Sefton) A plain clean and tidy two-sided boozer at the corner of Aintree Racecourse. Pretty empty on a Wednesday afternoon apart from a few friendly, if somewhat eccentric, regulars.
Now closed.

Toby Carvery (Rocking Horse) A large modern plastic pub, well looked after. Very quiet on a Wednesday afternoon. The hand pump on the bar is presumably decorative.
Not visited since it became a Toby.
