The foodie capital of Lancashire
So-Lo in Aughton has just been awarded a Michelin Star. Add that to Moor Hall's two and its casual little sister restaurant The Barn's one, and the pretty West Lancashire village now boasts an astonishing four.
"It can only be a good thing and I'm very proud of them when talking to other foodies who don't live round here," local Sarah Lawton told LancsLive, of her pride at Aughton's latest prestigious accolade. And there is also a feeling of 'inevitability' about highly-experienced chef Tim Allen's first solo venture joining the prestigious Michelin party.
He's right, too, with Town Green station ideally located next to the small row of shops lining Town Green Lane, providing residents with vital daily necessities, a light lunch, fresh meat, hair cut, coffee to go or glass of wine. Aughton is next door to Maghull, the larger historic market town of Ormskirk, Edge Hill University and close to motorway networks.
Moor Hall executive chef Mark Birchall started Aughton's journey to becoming the village to be for fine dining, wining its first Star in 2027 and a second followed a year later, with The Barn's in 2022. So-Lo has barely been open a year and Tim's “modern but approachable, nothing too outlandish” menu has won over the notoriously- hard-to-please Michelin judges.
