Local record

History of this pub

The Morris Dancers stands on Southport Road at Scarisbrick, halfway between Southport and Ormskirk, and the name has a long history in the village: Scarisbrick remembers James Valiant, a cricketer who played for Essex and died of wounds in the First World War in 1917, as formerly of the Morris Dancers public house. In its Beefeater years CAMRA described a steak-focused restaurant with a Premier Inn attached, opening early for breakfast, with a function room and garden.

Queensway Inns now lists Morris Dancers at Southport Road, Scarisbrick, L40 9RG. Its live page gives opening hours and welcomes neighbouring Premier Inn guests for breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks. The opening day is not published.
