Reviews in Preston

Absolutely love this place. 6 of us went for the early bird menu on Saturday - food was excellent, all freshly made and piping hot. The 2for1 cocktail deal is also an added bonus. Always find the staff very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back.

Our party of four had an early afternoon Lunch at the Ginger bistro. Everyone enjoyed the meal, it was excellent value and good service. The restaurant closes around 3:00 so if you are planning a lunch visit Don't arrive later than about 1:30. However we sat and chatted long after service had finished and weren't rushed at all.

We visited for a family birthday. Two of our party are Vegan the waitress took a lot of time to discuss the meal and we all loved it. We weren’t hurried and we all enjoyed the food service and environment. Well done to all

The food was lovely and even though we arrived just after 7pm, the staff still allowed us to order cocktails on the 2 for £10 offer. The service was faultless and the staff were really friendly. I would recommend to anyone and will be back again myself soon.

Excellent meal with great service

Had a lovely lunch here for the first time. Great food, good value and exceptional service

Having read favourable reviews about this restaurant, I was looking forward to eating here. There is no doubt about the quality of the food (we all had fish as it was Friday!): it was delicious and freshly cooked and the service was very good (attentive without being obsequious). However, we waited 40 minutes for our main course (we hadn't ordered starters so we were quite hungry by the time our meals arrived) with no explanation (I realise that food freshly cooked takes longer to prepare but 40 mins felt a bit too long) and the music was overly loud: some background music is fine but this was overly intrusive and rendered conversation difficult. Overall, it was a good experience and I would eat here again but turn the music down please!

Delicious food and excellent service. Been twice with different groups of friends and family. Everyone loved the food. Will be visiting again.

First visit to the 'Ginger' last Saturday. Most impressed ! Food was superb ! I had a Fillet Steak, my wife the Goosnargh Chicken, I followed with my annual helping of Sticky Toffee Pudding while my wife opted for Eton Mess. All washed down with a very nice bottle of New Zealand Malborough. Not a crumb or a drop was left ! The staff were both friendly and efficient. The ambiance and the setting provided a relaxing atmosphere. Absolutely excellent dining experience ! The 'Ginger' is only a fifteen minute walk from our house and this establishment will undoubtedly enhance the 'eating out' options in the area. It will be a real asset. Would we return again ? Most certainly, time after time after time !

As always had a lovely lunchtime meal; amazing value at £10 for 2 courses. Great to have this Bistro so local. Can thoroughly recommend.

Very impressed on our first visit. Brilliant staff, varied menu at a reasonable price and a real 'buzz' to the place. Even though the restaurant was full, our meals and drinks were served promptly. The staff deserve a particular mention as they were very welcoming and nothing seemed to be too much trouble for them. Food was tasty, hot and reasonably priced. Will be returning again soon.

Great

I dined at The Ginger Bistro with some colleagues as a party of 10 on Friday 5th July and couldn't have been more impressed! The Ginger Bistro is a fabulous place to visit and dine, couldn't fault the food, service or atmosphere, great staff and a lovely ambience within the restaurant. The prices for some of the main courses could be slightly less but overall, we left well and truly impressed!

Spent the evening at Ginger Bistro with a friend. Service was excellent and the food was fantastic. Only wish my would be more scallops on the specials starter x

We had a lovely evening celebrating our son’s 15th birthday with family and friends at The Ginger Bistro. Thank you to Soji, Simon and all the staff who made our evening go really well, nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious...’the best linguine I’ve had. We’ll be coming back and would highly recommend.

Shown to a lovely table, very friendly staff. Unfortunately the wine I drink was only available by the bottle which was a shame so I had to choose something else. The starter took a little while to arrive but was cooked to perfection. My main was the buck breast special which was to my taste slightly over cooked but very tender and juicy. The sides were amazing and the jus was generous.of the meal was fantastic. Best of all the young lady who served us had a beautiful, friendly smile every time she came to our table. I would thoroughly recommend We didn't stay for dessert but the rest

Visited The Ginger Bistro about 4/5 times now with various people, sometimes for lunch, dinner or just dropped in for a catch-up-coffee. Each time I have been the service has been good and the food lovely last nigh was no different.

We visited here on Saturday night and got a table early at 5.30pm so it was pretty quiet only 2 other tables in. The setting was nice and nice decor, however the tables are very small so you can't fit a side plate on your table which I find annoying as I feel as it things are going to get knocked off the table easily, also paper napkins! The menu prices looked standard for a good restaurant and we ordered some bread on arrival which I have to say the choices of bread were lovely especially the nutty one, however it came with 2 bottles of the cheapest olive oil, so I asked for some balsamic, I poured a tiny bit on my plate and it was disgusting like it was off it was a very cheap Lidl one so I notified the waitress. Starters were lovely hubby had pate and I had fishcake although neither looked home made it was nice. I ordered chicken for my main which was a special with cheese and tomato and a sweet potato rosti, the chicken was cooked lovely although very sparse tomato the thinnest slice of a cheep salad tomato i've ever seen! For £17 I would expect to actually be able to taste the ingredients. The rosti was horrendous though extreme saltiness in faft so bad that my tongue started burning and has just stopped 3 days later! The rosti tasted nothing like sweet potato because of all the over spice and salt and it was burnt round the edge and the rest soggy as the chicken had been presented on top. I did tell the waitress that I wasn't happy but not sure it was passed on. I think the chefs do spend a lot of time on the food presentation, however it is no good being presented nicely when the flavour and texture, quality of the food is lacking. I will say the waiting staff were lovely and polite, but I didn't see a manager anywhere they didn't come round and see if guests were OK like I would normally expect. So for that reason I wont be returning.
