Restaurants in Aughton

Moor Hall holds 3 Michelin stars and a 96-point La Liste score in a Grade II-listed manor house north of Liverpool. The dinner tasting menu runs £265 per person; the four-course lunch is £145 and is the better entry point. Service is warm, knowledgeable, and free of pretension at this price level. Booking is near impossible — plan months ahead, not weeks.

Tim Allen's Michelin-starred Modern British restaurant in Aughton holds its own as a destination, not just a cheaper alternative to Moor Hall next door. The converted pub setting keeps the atmosphere warm and unfussy, while the cooking operates at genuine one-star level. Note: closed for refurbishment until November 2025, with a new Chefs' Table and flexible menu format planned on reopening.

The Barn holds a Michelin star and an OAD Casual Europe ranking in its own right — this is not the informal fallback to Moor Hall next door, it's a destination in itself. At £££, chef Kane Williams delivers a three-course Modern British menu built on estate produce, with a warm, beamed dining room and a terrace by the lake that makes weekend lunch a strong reason to visit. Book well in advance: tables go fast.
