As one of the longest established pubs in the area, locals have enjoyed coming to the Hesketh Arms (previously known as the Black Bull) for over 200 years. Guests from local towns such as Ormskirk and Formby have returned time and time again, looking to unwind in historic settings after busy days visiting Southport's thriving shopping and entertainment attractions.
Our menus are full of hearty favourites and country pub classics, as well as our seasonal dishes, and we’ll be ready with a well-stocked bar, including cask ales, fine wines and British gin to suit very taste - which will taste all the better when enjoyed either in our beautiful gardens or by our crackling log fires.
We welcome four legged friends and have water and treats available to ensure they're as comfortable as you are during your visit!
Dogs are allowed in the bar area of our pub, as this is the most friendly environment for you and your four-legged friends to feel relaxed, safe, and happy at all times during your visit.
We look forward to greeting you and your dog at The Hesketh Arms in Southport soon.
