This Aigburth-based pub is a fantastic watering hole to watch Formula One in, and you'll never be short of a cold pint or something to munch on either. Look forward to a menu featuring hearty signatures from the pastry legends at Pieminister; did someone say fillings of British beef steak and stilton? Mmmm.
