The Derby Arms - a landmark pub
on the Ormskirk to Kirkby road |
The Derby Arms is the local CAMRA Branch's Pub of the Year (West Lancashire area). It is on Prescot Road, Aughton, Lancs, L39 6TA (tel: 01695 422237) and boasts beers from £1.50 a pint. The nearest station is at Town Green, Aughton, but it is a bit of a hike from there. Despite that, the pub is popular and has a well-attended acoustic music session every Wednesday evening.
CAMRA will be presenting the award on Thursday 15th May at around 8.30pm, with this will be a chance to preview the festival.

£1.50 a pint? Your beard club has the right idea, Nev. Give award to the boozers with the cheap grog. None of this £8 craft rubbish for ponces.
ReplyDeleteWell done.
Glad you approve, CL.
ReplyDeleteThanks the £1.50 a pint is walkers and it's very good
ReplyDeleteDid you enjoy The Aughton Beer Festival preview last night ? Look forward to seeing you Saturday
ReplyDeleteYes, I did, thanks, and also my return visit on Saturday afternoon.
ReplyDeleteManaged to drop by with my missus early on Saturday afternoon.. only had a few 1/3s but all really good (although I'm constantly slightly underwhelmed by Jaipur).. Would definitely have stayed longer if we hadn't been on the bikes..
