The Kicking Donkey @thekickerpub
Half-decent pub just outside Ormskirk. Open Wednesday-Sunday from 12. Food's alright, Wine's better than most and the ale is acceptable. Good Beer Guide 2023-4 Joined June 2023-

Always nice having to start the day by going to turn off the high water-level alarm #summer
Looking at the top 100 #nationrestaurantawards, well done to the local boys @restmoorhall and @TimAllenChef (going to be in yours on Thursday, can't wait), we do okay in West Lancs! And really pleased to see @JanWilsons, in there, had a spectacular dinner there last week.
Top tip when dining on your own, get a notepad out and everyone assumes you're a Michelin inspector so they're best foot forward.
Scallops, Black Pudding, Cherry Tomato, just because you asked for them to be brought back @joshbythesea
Some desserts from tonight's Spring Feast: Apple Muffin, Milk-Poached Rhubarb, Apple Crisp, Rhubarb Gel and Vanilla Ice Cream, Elderflower and Prosecco Trifle, Ribblesdale Superior, Lanark Blue and Pear Chutney
Grim out innit, here's tonight's #specials, guaranteed 100% drizzle-free
Obvs a bit quiet atm what with the soccerball, so if you were so minded I can guarantee a ridiculous plateful.
Guten morgen, a spot of news. Starting this week we'll also be opening on Tuesdays for the foreseeable. Hoping to get up to seven days over the summer hols.
Some of our so-called rivals get regularly mocked in our kitchen for putting pea shoots on a roast dinner.

Wine of the week! Muscadet, not really the weather for it, but I was being blithely optimistic when I ordered it.
