Reviews in Preston

This country pub near Beacon Fell is full of character and I love the fact that you can sit either n front of or behind the bar (hard to explain unless you visit for yourself). A nice meal as always and left with a Lancashire cheese bomb and a brace of pheasants under my arm.

My first visit to Shaman was a wonderful experience, excellent food excellent service and excellent value for money, can't wait to treat my husband to meal there in the near future .

Very small, very friendly, 100 volunteer run ethical, green, environmental vegetarian cafe. *****star hygiene award. Free internet access if you purchase a drink. Absolutely delicious hummus and salad sandwiches. I've never yet been when it's been empty, and there is always someone interesting to talk to if you fancy a discussion over lunch.

Our latest visit was Valentines Day if a restuaurant can get right on such a special occassion then other nights are a doddle, we were not disappointed. Excellent service and very attentive staff, not overpowering but there when you need them. The food was of the highest quality and the atmoshere just perfect already looking forward to our next visit.

Well, we went to Thyme after hearing good things -never again I'm sorry to say. Don't get me wrong, the service was reasonably good but the portions were miniscule for the prices and my venison was totally coated on the underside by the white sinew/skin all along which made it impossible to cut through with even a steak knife, 2 fork sized bites was all I was able to retrieve by scraping at the other surface with a fork to get shreds of meat off!!!. By the end of the evening, the staff were more interested in clearing up and getting home than the 3 remaining clients and it took 25 minutes to even get a dessert menu when there was only 3 tables in -sorry, thanks, but no thanks

I proposed to my fiancée in Tino's in early December 2012. As I was nervous about the night going well, I had spoken with the manageress in advance and she certainly ensured a perfect night. The staff are possibly the nicest I have experienced in any restaurant and the food was delicious. Next time we are in Preston, we will certainly be paying a visit back to Tino's

Friendly and special. My favourite watering hole in Preston. Wonderful selection of Teas. I try a different one each time and have not been disappointed yet. Everyone should try it. I have recommended it to anyone who likes Tea. Its worth the little walk down Cannon Street.

I recommend King Karai to everyone. Its the best Indian restaurant in Lancashire. The staff are brilliant. Babu is a perfect gent. You get the same excellent standard whether you eat in or have a take away.

I cannot explain just how nice this restaurant is. Both food and service are always impeccable. I have taken numerous family members to Tino's and they have all only had good things to say about it. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates an oustanding meal and experience. 10/10

Dined here recently with family. Was greeted with a smile by the very friendly waitresses and shown to a table quickly. Had a seafood chowder and homemade apple crumble, and both of these were absolutely faultless. Felt very full and pleased after the meal. The one thing I did pick up on was the manageress shouting at the waitresses in the dining area. I don't know what happened but I felt it was unprofessional on their part, as the waitress seemed visibly embarrassed. Aside from this, great dining experience 4/5

A Saturday evening before Christmas is a challenging time for any restauranteur! When we arrived at 7.30 "the joint was already heaving" but well under control. People were definitely enjoying themselves! We were shown to our table promptly and orders taken and served all within reasonable time by cheerful and attentive staff. The meals were excellent and the filet of venison cooked to perfection. Second visit and shall be back.

Had a meal on Sat 8th Dec 2012. Excellent food and very friendly and attentive staff. Their home made bread was a real treat as an appetiser and starters and main courses were of a very high standard. A very pleasant dining experience indeed. A little gem.

Just eaten here can't believe how good it is everything is brand new the menu is fantastic will be back definitley one to try

Excellent meal, good service, pleasant ambience. Will visit again and can recommend.

Enjoyed a good meal here. Fish and chips and 'posh chilli'. Both were tasty and service was friendly. Great open fires, even one outside for the smokers!

Went on Saturday 10th Nov to celebrate my daughter's birthday. What a shambles, when we arrived we were told to go to a table look at the menu and then place our order at the bar, no one showed us to the table. Going back to the bar to order I was told they didn't take credit cards and the nearest cash point was across the square - it was but it was also out of order so I had to find another one - by the way it was pouring down so got well and truly soaked!The food arrived and my wife's fish was hardly cooked and my daughters liver was overcooked. When we complained we were told that they had asked us if everythnig was alright - they did but that was as they were serving the food and we hadn't even tasted it then.The new management don't seem to have got it right here and we are certainly not going back there.

What a load of rubbish - pls post me as a bad review.

Friendly, efficient service. Good quality food and always fresh .... Generous portions too... Sometimes there is a bit of queue but it's worth the wait
