Tinos – Prestonlove this place and staff very friendly go there whenever i can
Naseeb Tandoori House – PrestonThis is by far the worst chip shop I have ever visited, the staff pleasant enough, the food disgraceful We ordered fish & chips twice, upon arriving home, the smell of the fish was rancid... when cutting into the fish - it was black - / brown fish - the smell was awful. The fish was cooked upon ordering, so he may of fried it fresh, however it was rotten old fish, 20,000 league below I imagine!!! I returned the West End Chippy -with the two portions of rancid fish, upon reviewing the menu I noticed that the menu no longer lists haddock or cod - just fish £3.40!!! I told him the fish smelt awful, is black inside and is most definitely rotten, he went on to tell me its silver hake the best fillet you could buy, I was surprised at the level of his lie!! WEST END CHIPPY - YEARS AGO WAS GREAT - TODAY TERRIBLE -
West End Fish Bar – PrestonJust been for a meal not having been for years and since the refurbishment. The food was excellent and good portions! I had the chicken livers which were to die for plus the Rogan Josh curry and chips. fab!
Smiths Arms – PrestonNever failed to come away having had great food, well served ale and met a familiar face. Conservatory is a nice venue with open aspects. Well worth the run out.
The Sitting Goose – PrestonWe chose a quiet night as it can get busy at weekends. Cannot complain about the food, price or service. Enjoy the beer as it is well served in this establishment. A place you could comfortably stay for the whole evening.
Plough At Eaves – PrestonFor that "something special" occasion is how I would describe this flamboyant exquisite place. It offers beautifully styled & spacious dining areas with highly trained waiting on staff & high caliber chefs who produce food for the gods. A "must try" place. You will not regret it.
Trattoria San Marco – PrestonA vibrant atmosphere coupled with excellent menu choice. Well presented dishes cooked in authentic & traditional methods. Well worth a visit.
Pinocchios – PrestonA truly enjoyable experience. You are made to feel special by the attentive staff as soon as you arrive. The food is more than your typical Italian cuisine offering their signature dishes as well as well known favourites.
Italian Orchard – PrestonFound Smiths Arms in the fog last night, Not our first choice but the pub we had intended to go to has a long way to go to meet the standards at the Smiths. On arrival we were greeted and welcomed by the barman as we made our way to the dining area. The food was served in good time and the portions and quality were brilliant. The staff were very polite and friendly and the lady, who we presume was the owner, ensured we were all ok. The only minor disappointment was the coffee which tasted a little like "vending" machine coffee. All in all, excellent food at good prices with good service. We will certainly be returning again - brilliant - thank you.
Smiths Arms – PrestonFirst time visit to this venue and had a fantastic meal. The beef in blackbean sauce from the "sizzler" menu was excellent. Very friendly welcome from all the staff, and excellent service. In conclusion, Great staff, great food at sensible prices and highly recommended.
Smiths Arms – PrestonWe didn't book but may be best to as it was very busy at lunchtime on a Saturday, we got the last restaurant table. A bar menu and a restaurant menu had most options covered though you had to eat bar food in the bar, which was ok as the bar menu has sandwiches and meals on it, so if one wants a sandwich and the other more of a meal then you are ok on this menu. The tables in the bar are very low though. Service was good considering how busy it was. We were overcharged but quickly and professionally rectified, a genuine mistake as we did a 2 course from one menu and a starter from another, so it was a bit complicated admittedly. If using sat nav once iit says you are there and you can,t see it....go a bit further down the road. Overall we enjoyed it, it is quite an experience, the layout of the bar, central, is one of only 3 in England. Worth a trip.
Ye Horns Inn – PrestonUsed to eat at the Sitting Goose a couple of years ago. Unfortunately on arrival last night the dining area was very cold and we would have had to sit with our coats on. Although they did put the heating on. So we decided to sit in the main bar area. The whole place including the menus looked very tired and uninviting. It didn't help with the view of the disabled toilet from our table and when moving our table, the line of chewing gum, underneath caught on my hands, yuk ! Sorry but we will not be returning.
The Sitting Goose – PrestonWe went on spec, on a Saturday night, and had a fantastic meal. The service was really smooth and the welcome was warm. The best thing about Ye Horns Inn is the way all the details were attended to. For example the butter at the table was soft and not straight out of the fridge and the hand driers in the toilets were nice and strong. However, this would have been no good on it's own without the wonderful food and drink. I had a beautifully tender piece of steak with virtually no fat. It was cooked to perfection and almost melted in the mouth. The delicious roast potatoes deserve a special mention as they were just the right proportion of softness inside to crunchy outside. I had a beautiful glass of Chilean merlot with my meal and my husband assured me the Bowland Brewery's Hen Harrier was Good Beer Guide quality. Next time I may have to drive so he can enjoy a pint or six of this excellent bitter! And all this for less than £30 a head. A great night and definitely somewhere we would go again.
Ye Horns Inn – PrestonI eat at the continental at least once a month, and I have to say that the quality of the food is always excellent. You always get the feeling that no corners are cut in the kitchen and this really does show. There is a specials menu that changes daily so you never become bored of the same menu. I find the prices very reasonable, for example I had a beautiful cheese crusted fillet of Scottish hake for £12 last week. A remarkably similar dish cost me £18 at a local Italians recently and was far poorer quality. The service is friendly and not over powering, which is as it should be in a pub. The wine list is good quality I would recommend the Malbec a bargain at around £14 a bottle. However the real beauty of the drinks at the conti is the vast selection of real ales, German & Belgium beers. There are few places that have anywhere near the choice. The staff are informative and well educated on the drinks and will always lend a helping hand if you cant decide what to have. The continental is by far the best place to eat around Preston city centre. I would recommend bookings as it can be extremely busy especially is the weather is nice as there is a fantastic beer garden.
The Continental – Prestoni loved the food, i went there for my 17th! good customer service fast serving and good quality of food. Highly recommended!!! (:
Tottos – PrestonFood was very good but not recommended for families with children who don't eat an adult portion! We were brought 3 adult portions for my children - the youngest two being 3 and 4 - eldest was 8. They did not think to ask if my children required a child size portion. I presumed anyone with an ounce of common sense would know such young children were never going to eat such a portion ( and yes it was evident that those meals were for the children). We were told off for not specifying we required child size portions (even though we knew they did child portions as we had enquired over the phone) but as a good will gesture were given £4 off a £104 bill! I explained no one would order an adult portion for a 3 and 4 year old - I was assured that people do.... so they can share it! Share it? Yes I can understand that, but share 3 adult portions between 3 kids - how does that work? We were made to feel stupid and spoken to like children. Good food does not outdo poor customer service. Perhaps it was a bad night, it has some excellent reviews on here, but I will never go back. It left a very bad taste in the mouth.
