A huge, multi roomed road house on the outskirts of Formby village. Unfortunately it's a Greene King pub, so the beer choice wasn't that great. Having said that my pint was well kept and the staff were friendly and there's a 10% CAMRA discount. Quite a few in around 12:30 on a Wednesday. Huge beer garden, but it is on a fairly major junction, so lots of exhaust fumes. It's very typical of its type i.e. family dining pub, so it's not really for me.

huge Greene King landmark pub that has been painted in a trendy blue and extensively refurbished inside. Loads of different areas inside and out with different styles; there’s even a “remote working” table with phone charging sockets down the middle, station waiting room style. It’s an obvious trendy rebrand to appeal to the affluent locals, I quite liked it though and the young staff were very friendly. Three real ales, unfortunately the GK seasonal King Mango was on its way to becoming King Vinegar, I didn’t get much change out of £5 either. So: bad expensive beer, and from what I overheard at the bar, half the menu items unavailable. How would you justify coming here rather than Spoons?

Large Greene King pub on a busy double roundabout in Formby. There are numerous handpulls spread along the lengthy bar counter with up to 11 ales stocked. Greene King IPA is a regular. Others on my visit were limited to Greene King Abbot, Morland Old Speckled Hen & Timothy Taylor Landlord. There is no real cider. Whilst a CAMRA discount is offered, none of the ales appealed to me.
The interior consists of a number of different rooms. A few were having lunch, whilst others seemed to be there simply for a get together.
Seems to have gone downhill substantially since the last review, especially in terms of its ale selection.
