Reviews in Preston

The Boars Head has had a refurb and looks great! A great dining pub near Preston, Bolton and Chorley.

Having read the derisory report on this restaurant by "c" I felt compelled to write a rebuttal, an drateful thanks he doesn't live in the area. He clearly wouldn't recognise good wholesome food if it jumped out of the pan and smacked him on the nose. This restaurant visited for the first time since re-opening as The Silk Route is a quality place. Great friendly staff, an ample varied menu, and thechef can make anything a customer wants, So "c" if you want the usual tat,of burgers,weird chicken or wispy washy fish and chips just go there, seems more like your style, and leave the classier places to those who know, are prepared to enjoy and pay for good food, service and ambience. A rare thing in Corbyns Weary World sadly but we will see more when we leave that awful set of demented money grabbing thieves in Bruxelles. Keep going down the Silk Road, they know how to do it.

Gotta love this place...been coming here since it opened in 1985 ?? Italian food at its best! Bon apetito X

A while since I’ve been here and it just seems to keep growing and growing. The food hall is fab with an interesting wine shop whilst upstairs there is furniture and clothes leading across to the restaurant. We only dropped in for a coffee on a Saturday morning but it was very pleasant with some big leather sofas to sink into. Have to say though I was very surprised at the number of people here eating breakfast at 11am. Not bleary-eyed students after a night out but middle-aged and elderly couples!

We found The Cottage, in 1978, when our daughters were little, in the early 80's we had the most delicious afternoon teas, on our many visits

Aah it's really good.Nice decor, good atmosphere and the food is good!! And loads of cocktails!!

Oh I do like this place

Absolutely stuffed ourselves here. Great food and atmosphere!

Very disappointing, my wife and I were there for a special occasion and the food was Ok. However there seemed to be mouse droppings on the floor and when I mentioned it they ignored it.

What a lovely afternoon was had by all our party aboard the Search for Santa Magical Cruise. Myself, mother, niece and great nephew thoroughly enjoyed the trip and all of us got to meet Santa and his elves and we also had a visit from Olaf (the snowman from Frozen). We were served mulled wine and mince pies and all the children received two presents from Santa after we found him along the canal. Thank you to all at Canal Boat Cruises for the best visit Santa I have ever been to.

Four of us went to Winedown on Saturday evening. The weather was atrocious so it was great to get settled down in this subterranean wine bar. We drank a fair few bottles along with some fine cheese, meats and nibbles. Dougy the host was excellent and knew his wines. Will return and would recommend.

Excellent meal and superb service.

Lovely seafood pizza and tagliatelle frescomare for lunch yesterday. Service was good too. Very handy spot on the main road in Fulwood. They not have outside tables too. Shame I will have to wait till next spring to use them!

We visited Angels last night to celebrate my birthday and had a fantastic meal. Compliments to Simon for producing a excellent menu, service was extremely good and all in all a wonderful experience ! THANK YOU!

The décor here was a bit of a surprise for a rural pub. Food was very good indeed.

Food varied and delicious, portion sizes plentiful loads of courses yum yum yum. Place, clean décor, relaxing, staff friendly. Have recommended to friends.

Went here for my 50th birthday and had a lovely table in the conservatory. Wednesday night and it was really buzzing which when you consider the slightly out of the way location is a real testament to the reputation the Italian Orchard has built up over the years. Fully justified in my view too as the menus offer loads of interesting choices and if wine’s your thing they have a great selection of Italian wines to choose from. There was a pianist playing too which just adds to the ambience. Highly recommended.

Food was ok but not enough roly in the poly.
