This was one of the oldest pubs
in Liverpool, and it’s very close to the central station. We chose to eat here
as it had a good value menu and we’d been eating most of our other pub meals at
Wetherspoons. Its original owners proudly proclaimed that Walkers Ales had
infiltrated the city. It’s now owned by M&B who seem to run it just for appearances
sake; but they have done a good job of keeping the pub in a good condition. The
bar only had three beers but they were kept well and I opted for a pint of
Skinners Lushington to accompany my pie, which was well filled and came with
lots of sauce for my chips. The downstairs area was well furnished with ornate
plasterwork in the ceiling, while wood panelling hid away the outside world. The
pub was very quiet considering that the city was holding a national beer
conference. It was a shame that we were on a schedule to visit more pubs; and
we missed the opportunity to see the marble fireplace and the rear and upstairs
rooms.
