Preston in Lancashire is a cosmopolitan city located on the River Ribble and is also the home of the University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN). Many restaurants and food pubs can be found in the city centre and its suburbs.
I was invited to the launch of Huntleys At Night and travelled from Yorkshire to attend. The menu made it difficult for me to choose--the 5 people in our party all had something different--every meal was at the standard I have come to expect from Mark Pennington. I am returning soon with friends to sample the new menu--spoilt for choice!
Huntleys – PrestonFantastic and exotic flavours - best naan bread we've ever tasted! Always a warm welcome and friendly service - great choice of dishes and every one we've had has been exceptional!! Highly recommended
Sangam Balti House – PrestonBrilliant!!!! It is the best Chinese food I have ever tasted
Buffet@Preston – PrestonThe food is Ok, but I prefer the Italian drinks, Vedezuno involves honey and peach which is really good.
Angelos – PrestonThe food and service here is excellent. The staff are very on the ball whilst being down to earth and friendly. They have a good menu and the steaks are cooked to perfection. I took my Dad here for his 50th Birthday and he declared it was the best steak he'd ever had. I would definitely recommend eating here! They take the Hi Life card too which makes it very affordable for a meal of this standard.
The Sirloin Inn – PrestonThis place is a little gem. Very quaint building over two floors, can be quite intimate on a Fri/Sat night, or can cater for larger parties. The owner/waiter is Turkish with a great sense of humour and service is good. On to the food.... it is Turkish/Mediterranean, which is quite uncommon. The special Meze menu is fab- approx £15 per person but this includes many different hot/ cold starters and then ends with a selection of grilled meats. There are many Turkish specialities (the cuisine is very similar to Greek, so imagine your Greek holidays and the food will be like that), also are the more common pasta and pizza options (currently £3.95 on the early bird menu) Just Go and try this Turkish food for yourselves.
Tottos – PrestonWow what a brilliant food. It? the best takeaway in Lancashire I think and service very posh.
Titash Tandoori – PrestonThis is a great place to dine in, good food, friendly staff, and nice place to eat...I really enjoy my dine out in buffet @ Preston.
Buffet@Preston – PrestonGorgeous, well presented food, at average restaurant prices, with good service, that allows you to eat your meal in peace, the only minor issue is the decor, very open plan and at busy times can feel slightly school dinnerish. Overall lovely.
Sagar Premier – PrestonWe have eaten at Huntleys at Night five times since it opened and everytime I've been impressed, The steaks are cooked to perfection and are of superb quality, everything including the staff are spot on. It makes a nice change not to get ripped off with the drinks prices. top marks, keep it up.
Huntleys – PrestonSuperb, we have eaten at Huntley? in the day and in the evening, throughout the day the food is excellent and the price spot on, the evenings are superb, unhurried top quality, one of the best I've eaten at in my many years!!!!!!
Huntleys – Prestonmarvellous place !
King Karai – PrestonThis is an excellent restaurant I would recommend it. It is very good
Italian Orchard – PrestonReally good old English restaurant. It has a warm and homely feel. The food is presented well and is typical English country fayre. Very tasty. There is a great selection on the menu, which is cooked to order and not pre-packaged as in the large chains. Set in the countryside it is a definite will visit again.
Ye Horns Inn – PrestonIt was a good place to eat out for tea. It is relaxed and it has lovely food.
Vincents Restaurant – PrestonHaighton Manor is a good restaurant even if it? a one to one with a loved one or a family meal and friend. The food is very good and I think the restaurant is outstanding.
Haighton Manor Country House Hotel – PrestonThe food here is exceptional and the service fantastic. I have been here twice and both times been very impressed with the tastiness and quality of the food. Brilliant for vegetarians. I would definitely recommend a visit.
Bukhara – PrestonI live very close to the curry mile in Manchester so when friends of mine told me about this restaurant I took it all in my stride. A few friends met at the restaurant and before I arrived they had ordered a leg of lamb. I have never tasted such tender meat that melts in your mouth what can you say ?elicious". Of all the Indian restaurants I have been to this must be at the top.
