The Plough Inn, Ormskirk

A typical extended country farmhouse that is more of a dining pub. The pub part is fairly small and whilst cosy it does not stand out for any particular reason. Decent enough beers and TV but it was fairly quiet when I was there and this was a Saturday night, although to be fair, it is in the middle of nowhere. The dining area is somewhat larger (two rooms knocked into one) and has a couple of fine original fireplaces, plenty of brass and pictures. They do a carvery to supplement the extensive if not adventurous menu. Decent portions served and prices are very reasonable. In an area devoid of many good dining pubs, this is well worth an evening out.
