Dog and Gun Inn, Aughtonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
The Dog & Gun was my final pub in the Aughton area. All eyes were on the TV screen, which had the North London derby on when I walked in. This is a Marstons pub with only ales from the Marstons range - Thwaites Wainwright, Banks's Bitter & Marstons Pedigree. There are two fairly small rooms. Locals were packed into the bar, whilst there was an unoccupied lounge. There are better pubs in the area.

A pleasant 'local' a short stroll from Aughton Park station. It has the usual concessions to modernity in the shape of Sky Sports on the telly but essentially does the job of a proper local pub. The Jennings Bitter was okay if nothing special and the Ringwood Boondoggie was reasonable.

Not sure what people find to dislike about it here. True, not one for the party animal but that's what appeals to me- a traditional style local. Never had a problem with the beer- Marston's was fine, although it does smell-nothing new there! or the service, and have had chats with friendly locals. Bad time maybe? I can think of many worse pubs around Ormskirk. Also look out for the parrot!

Very friendly locals pub in this affluent area to the south of Ormskirk. the pub is of interwar stock and is largely unspoilt, with two seperate drinking areas, a real fire and a good choice of ales-4 or 5 to choose from. The front of the pub can be noted for its excellent floral displays. Within walking distance of Aughton Park railway station and easily accessed from Ormskirk and Liverpool- and well worth it.
