The Prince Albert, Ormskirk

The is the sort of roadside pub that you would always notice but generally pass by but if you are looking for a lucky dip stop off, this is a pretty decent place to check out. The interior is plain, simple and unfussy with 4 distinct areas divided by various wooden railings. The bar area is largely standing with a tiled floor whilst to the left is a games section containing a TV and dart board. Down one side of the pub is raised lounge area with built in seating and a large brick fireplace. Opposite the bar is a cosy snug. The 4 ales available on my visit were Tetleys, Tetleys Mild, Southport Carousel and Blach Sheep Best with very keen prices. The food was also good value with some tempting Sunday specials (shame it wasn’t a Sunday when we called though). Overall quite a decent unpretentious place worthy of a quick stop at least.
