The Buck i'th' Vine in West Lancashire

Very nice afternoon spent with friends on a Saturday drinking .

It's been brilliant since The Buck reopened. Great pint of Guinness and wonderful staff

Great staff, had a room reserved for school reunion very hospitable.

Dissapointed. Over priced burnt, unable to eat cheese toasties. Out of 8 people none of us could find the cheese.

Ordered 8 overpriced cheese toasties. All burnt, reheated so unable to eat and cheese was very hard to find

Fantastic food and service! Italian tapas and big portions so beware how much you order, you can always order more. You will not be disappointed with presentation and flavours.

Lovely traditional pub. Food by Luca was fab. Really good👍

Went on Friday night and it was empty, food was delicious but not worth the money. Best example is the Pizette which is basically a pizza but smaller and at £12 that's more expensive than a full-sized pizza in some of the excellent Italians in the area. Also as everything basically came out at the same time you had to rush your food before it went cold, I know this is the concept but it doesn't make for an enjoyable culinary experience. Won't go again but if it's this empty every Friday I can't see it lasting. Other small plate restaurants charge about £8 per plate not £10 to £13

Leah was fantastic she couldn’t look after us more for my graduation

Great service excellent choice of gins nice decor. New luca great bar food

Just had a nice afrernoon around ormskirk town center with my partner, had few drinks in different pubs but returned back to here as we liked the me menu, we both ordered the fishermans platter well worth the money and the service from the barmaid was 10/10 defo be back soon

Nice pub and great drink options. Not eaten here but the restaurant at the back was busy and looked nice.

We’ve been to Luca a few times now and love the place. Food is amazing and staff very friendly. Our go to restaurant in Ormskirk. Right on Stiles carpark so easy to park and they have great gluten free options. Great place for taking friends everyone are always impressed.

I enjoyed the plates we ordered, especially the meatballs, which were very, very good. I think it's a tad expensive compared to other tapas bars (in Liverpool where it's ultra competitive), so not great value. My classic Negroni was nice, but not served in an Old Fashioned glass. Service was friendly, we did wait a fair while for the remaining 3 plates we ordered (I know tapas plates arrive when they are ready, but it's not usual you finish 3 plates before the other 3 dishes are served). Also we were not told about unavailable dishes until we'd chosen some which were actually unavailable, so that's quite frustrating. A nice meal though, nice servers but maybe a bit too expensive for what you get.

It is very beautiful and the food is good and tasty The staff is friendly Thank you very much

Luca was superb but the prices of alcohol were dire.

Small plates. Ordered lasagne, stale, dry cardboard like sheets, inedible, got the meatballs and sea bass, also poor. Whole experience unsatisfactory, overpriced, will not be back

Very over priced especially when the food is terrible every dish we ordered had Parmesan granules dumped on top without asking for it the presentation is appalling. There were 4 of us two where sick all night. I wasn’t sick but do feel like being sick when I think of the meal we will never go back. The waiter was lovely and looked embarrassed to be bringing such sub standard meals out.

Sat down in the restaurant service and the food arriving was too quick especially when you are paying between £10-£13 for a small plate. Was in there an hour and ended up spending £300 for 5 of us, extremely expensive for what you get. Decor and staff were nice. Not sure I will be back.

Enjoyed a really lovely meal last night at Luca, rosemary and Seasalt fries full.of flavour and pizza was really good. My favourite part was the dessert a deep fried cheesecake with sorbet! Will be coming back to try more of the menu

Used to come here 25 years ago (a lot!) and although it's changed (including not having to bend down and give your order to the barman through a low window) it's still a great pub in the heart of Ormskirk. Good selection of beers and wines.

Service not great wine left on table not opened ,different beer than we asked for £13 service charge what service sea bass on purple potatoes don't try and reinvent the potato

Absolutley amazing dishes. Lovely service and will definitely be visiting again.

Food was average and extremely pricey. We got 6 small plates between us and a Diet Coke each and it came to £99. Absolutely extortionate prices for what you get. Will not be returning.

Not my kind of place and a bit pricey

Very overpriced for what you get!! Came out very disappointed 😔 a roast dinner which cost £22 per person you should come out full not still hungry! Never again!!

Over charged a party of eight by £150!! We had paid for drinks separately. Then gave us two bills that were not ours and were for another table! Diabolical!

Have been here numerous times for a drink however, the new owners have increased the drinks prices dramatically. The Monday to Friday offer before 5 has gone. We would normally pay £8 for two drinks today £14.80. Bye to the Buck.

To be honest I’m not a massive fan of tapas but thought I’d give it a go. Seated promptly. Drinks ordered was incorrect but no big deal. Food came out incredibly fast for a table having ordered 12 plates. Food was averagely nice. We ordered pudding but had to wait a while as one of the tables pudding didn’t arrive. We alerted the staff who did deduct from the bill. Thought the bill was expensive.

Dropped in on the off chance for Sunday Lunch, absolutely gorgeous food, we all had the Roast beef lunch which was so tasty, service was just right, attentive but not overbearing, Italian style puddings were delicious. A great small plates menu, will definitely be returning to try those, good pricing!

We enjoyed a birthday lunch here recently 21/4/23 the restaurant is newly opened , beautiful interior with relaxing ambiance and the waitress was really friendly and knowledgeable in helping us choose a selection of sharing starters which were excellent! All the food was delicious and well presented we shall definitely return thank you .

Went on Grand National day for a breakfast and the place was lovely and the food was amazing. Pete did a fabulous job the service was excellent will definitely be going back soon.

Food and service good however portion size not reflected in the price.

Amazing new spot in the middle of Ormskirk, loved the sandwiches and ambiance. Courtyard is beautiful. Well done team Luca

Food was lovely service was good but small plates not reflected in prices

Very old bar , i love the decoration inside but unfortunately it closes very early

Very friendly lady behind the bar. Nice green tea but Spanish panini I don't think so. Menu said Rotisserie chicken and Chorizo. No sign of any chicken or any chorizo. Pesto and peppers yes . £12 95 probably worth £6 and that's being generous.

Lovely little pub. Really nice after the refurb

Great place, cosy warm,lovely staff

Loved the meal and the restaurant

Liked this pub,nice owner, made sure we were enjoying ourselves, we will go back.

Loved it here, going to try the resteraunt next time we visit, we just had drinks on this occasion and sat in room with the log fire, which just give it that special touch 🙌

Good service. The food was pretty good.

Great pub. Good service, friendly staff and a good variety of beers.

One of the best pubs in Ormskirk.

Great little pub. Warm friendly staff.

Definitely recommend this place lovely staff, happy hour till 5pm and drink is cheap and tastes nice especially a bitter shandy.

As a group of friends we have been coming to this pub for years to watch the football, casual drinks or birthdays and Christmas. After attending for the football we won’t be returning. I understand the cost of supplies has massive jumped but to be told by a rude member of staff “well we need the money” wasn’t the answer we was looking for when asking why it had risen. Friends had also been told to not put their drinks back on the table after the same member of staff wiped the table down ready to close. Such a shame for such a historic pub to now be turning into a student bar basically.

I was treated like royalty the whole time I was in! Couldn’t fault the staff and was a lovely bar to visit in ormskirk. Rachel and James were perfectly polite. I will be returning soon :)

Called in at 3.30pm today were told kitchen opened at 4pm. Indeed it did and we had a great bar snack - wantons and chips etc for 3 of us plus water for our dog - definitely recommended

Visited last weekend, good beer, excellent food, great staff especially Sheldon good man. Friendly environment.

Looks really nice since the renovations. Definitely worth a few pints

Noticed a lot of change over the past couple of months, unfortunately not good change. Previous management had a great thing going. Couldn't do enough, made us feel so welcome. Unfortunately that has now changed. Place is more like a prisoner war camp. Not sure...

Great pub and great value especially the Cider which was excellent value between 12 and 5.

Really enjoyed our time at the the Buck. Locals and staff very friendly and fine beer is served. Great venue too to just sit in a quiet area with a beer and let the world pass you by.

Rachal was very fast and efficient when serving me and was chatty and friendly!

Excellent atmosphere,oldie world,very pleasant staff..

Quaint pub in Ormskirk...I imagine best place for the sports lovers really, but a nice place all the same

Nice quaint pub in the heart of Ormskirk. Friendly staff with a nice atmosphere. Very close to all shops.

Won't be back customers very rude to us

Good pub friendly service Each staff friendly and always up for a chat never rude and always service a good pint local and nice and friendly place

Excellent staff {especially James👌} beautiful food and great premises, never felt more welcome

The perfect pub for families, dogs, bar snacks, casks, open fires, sports. Lovely atmosphere at the Buck!

Brilliant pub, nice a cosy. Good staff, good prices. Thanks.

Good beer, warm welcome from the staff entertainment provided

Lovely old pub with great history

Lovely place.happy hour 12 till 5 on Wednesdays

Lovely pub, spotlessly clean, even the toilets were sparkling! Friendly and helpful staff, very pleasant. Great selection of gins and reasonable prices, we will definitely visit again.

Friendly staff enjoyed watching the euros here :)

Fab olde worlde pub ale was spot on

Nice pub with a good mix of traditional style pub and extremely modern restaurant, inside and outside dining with friendly staff

Absolutely fantastic, can I just say Jay Kate Immy who took our orders was absolutely fantastic. Really looked after us. Orders quick, checked we we're okay. Kept up with out request. Brilliant. Definitely worth a drink.

Great little pub in Ormskirk- well worth a visit

They did a beautiful renovation on this, one of the town’s oldest remaining pubs.

Friendly staff great service ☺️

Visited hmThe Buck I'Th' Vine recently and they are doing a wonderful job with regards to the pandemic and keeping up to date with recent regulation changes. Possibly the most adapted venue we've been to. The service was good, emstaff were friendly and prices not so bad. Will return

It may just look like your average neighbourhood pub but .. the buck i 'th' vine in ormskirk is anything but . My family and I were recommended the buck by a friend and was definitely not disappointed from start to finish Not only was it clean with all the covid measures in place but James and and kate went above and beyond to make us feel welcome . Fantastic service , friendly and attentive to our needs at all times . Would highly recommend and will be booking back ourselves soon .

Lovely pub, nice quiet atmosphere and good music!!

Wow we love this pub! Beautiful refurbishment aswell as keeping the historic charm. We had a lovely night by the fire at Christmas and we have recently been back for drinks in the sun. My husband loves the Erdinger beer on tap. Great selection of...

Great place, love the atmosphere and the welcoming vibes from staff made me and my wife feel welcome immediately. Terrific choice of cask ales that don’t burn a hole into my wallet and wife loves gin of the week promotion! The management have done really...

Bit pricey but very nice pub, very cozy interior and good selection on draught.

Brilliant pub, fairly priced. Friendly staff, and brilliant beer definitely recommend!

Visited when first opened, the land lady at the time wasn’t very welcoming, felt a little out of place and wasn’t sure what vibe the new buck was going for, never visited again! Until last weekend me and the Hubby called in after hearing there’s...

So glad to see Buck re-opened. Has still retained its charm. My friend & I enjoyed our afternoon here after lunch in Spitroast. Enjoyed our wines! I had Malbec. Very reasonably priced. Will return!

Recently reopened. Really enjoyed it, reasonable prices pint, friendly bar staff and dog friendly I believe so will be going back.

Lovely pub, best Estrella and erdinger too!

After using it a few time in its previous incarnation . I must say well done. Tastefully refurbed good ales food looked good although i didnt partake.

Brilliant, glad it's back open.

Nice wee place, great pint of Wainwright’s and dog friendly! Nice to see it open again...

Recently been upgraded, worth a visit if you remember the old Buck

Great Atmosphere Relaxed and Top staff and Great selection of Drinks 👍👍😎

Nice homely pub, good choice of beers

Tried this for first time since reopening. Really impressed food was first class beer in good order staff polite and prices ok. Do give it a chance

Nice pub clean nice poeple lovely pint.What more do you need keep it up 10 out ot 10.

glad its reopened, one of the nicest pubs in ormskirk

Spent some money on this and it's really nice. £3.90 for a lager puts me off slightly. The old post office has a similar price with a good discount on their app, so guess where I drink

Good refub however on Thursday evening when we attended a little more old fashioned pub / customer welcome is in order

Really nice. Lots of snooks, loads of beer, loads of cheer. Watch out for the mirror!

Good to see the old place open again in a new way. Still pulling pints

I used to love coming in here a few years back with its tiny cubbyhole bar area and it had kept it's old traveller's rest charm from the 18th century...including the bells in the smoking room for ringing for service (they hadn't worked in decades...
