A little bit about us… 

Each pub has its own story, character, and loyal locals, but they all share the same welcoming spirit. Whether it’s top-notch sports screenings, quiz nights, or DJs keeping the party going, there’s always something happening. At most of our pubs, you’ll find proper pub grub – with big, juicy burgers and classic fish and chips being firm favourites. And when it comes to pouring a cracking pint, we’ve got it nailed. We serve up real value, a great atmosphere, and a pub experience that’s worth every penny. The Valentine, Aintree, Liverpool, is a local pub with plenty of space, inside and out! The Valentine is the home of great roast dinners, big action sport and all of our guests favourite drinks from behind the bar. We serve food every day here in Aintree with great offers on lunch, pub classics, and cocktails. Our outside area is perfect for enjoying a drink or pizza in the sunshine, and dogs are welcome!
