263 in Preston

This was our second time dining at 263 and it was just as wonderful as the first. I had a family member visiting and the team had very kindly signed a menu as a little memento - what a great touch! The food was once again incredible with a few changes from the menu on our previous visit - impossible to pick a single highlight but the salt aged beef was certainly the best I've ever had, and the black trompette madeleine instantly unlocked treasured childhood memories of freshly baked cakes - a perfect way to finish the meal. The team were fantastic, a slick but personable service that shows their commitment to the craft. The Sommelier was able to flex her knowledge of wines by expertly helping us select a bottle for the table based on our tastes - never an easy task when there are three people, but it was the perfect accompaniment to the meal. Overall just another brilliant experience from 263 and I'm already excited to return!

We had a stunning meal at 263. The food was exceptional, the service superb and the knowledge of the staff was very good. We will definitely be going back. 7 courses of fine dining lunch, and all from the freshest local ingredients - sublime!

Me and my fiancé decided to treat ourselves for our anniversary and so booked here. We’d never been to a Michelin star restaurant before and we were not disappointed. The attention to detail from the staff and chefs is amazing. We were called the day before our visit to double check our allergens and the staff were so friendly and informative. The food was absolutely divine, we were a little hesitant going in to it as we weren’t sure what to expect but we thoroughly enjoyed every dish we tried. Would love to come back perhaps for our first date night as a married couple!

Great anniversary lunch The dining room is simple with a great atmosphere that ensures a nice and relaxed dining experience, very refreshing. The staff are a credit to the restaurant and the food lives up-to high expectations. Many thanks . We will definitely come back again.

A compact room with just eight tables but with service exceeding expectations. The tasting menu was lovely. The wine list extensive. A really lovely lunchtime experience.

The lunch tasting menu is an excellent value with an array of unusual and delicious dishes. All are locally sourced and presented beautifully and professionally by a v ery engaged staff.

The food was sublime, the wine flight was perfect and the service was excellent. This evening felt like such a treat from start to finish. I would wholeheartedly recommend!

We visited 263 on a Saturday evening. We booked the restaurant based on reviews and expectations even though it was a 40min journey from where we were staying. We booked for the £78 tasting menu for two adults and our 9yr old son. There was no option for a smaller menu / portion for a child, but we were able to clarify this when called the day before our reservation. The ambience was bright and tasteful. We were initially served by Emese, the manager. I had spoken to her the day before our visit when she called to check about food allergies etc. and said we would probably share a wine flight as one of us was driving. when we were given the drinks menu I asked if there was a copy of the wines in the wine flights as these weren’t in the menu and there were two flights available. We wanted to know what wines were paired to know whether to order some champagne. I was quite surprised to be told rudely ‘I asked you if you wanted water’. I apologised and ordered water and once again asked about the different wine flights. She said these were a range of whites and reds and that the prestige flight had more prestigious wines on it. Once again I asked politely if I might know more detail regarding which types of wines were in each menu. I said we were leaning towards having the £85 flight but it would help to know whether the choices were what we would want to spend that amount of money on. Unfortunately we found Emese rude and patronising it wasn’t a great start! Thankfully she said she’d ask Alex the operations directors to speak to us… Alex was warm and friendly. He was very knowledgeable and clearly very experienced at working in a high end restaurant. He was really helpful and professional and made us feel really looked after. Throughout the evening his interaction with all the diners was excellent. My wife had a cocktail which was v good (apparently!) we shared the prestige wine pairing. Emese had said we couldn’t share the wine pairing and certainly couldn’t have two glasses with half for each course. Alex said immediately it wasn’t a problem at all. On to the food… the menu was a game of two halves. The second half was outstanding. The poached pear and honey pre-dessert was sublime... perfection. The strawberry dessert and Duck main were excellent too. Lovely petit fours. The Chorizo and accompaniments to the Turbot and fish were really good but the skin was a bit over seasoned for our liking. The Berkswell pudding dish was good as was the canapé pea tart. Neither were amazing. The weakest dish was the fried chicken which was unpleasant and over seasoned (and shouldn’t in my opinion be on the menu). There were some real gems in the wine flight. I had never had the pleasure of a sensational subtle but floral brachetto d’acqui which was amazing. I ordered a case whilst we were there! So there were some v high highs and lows with menu and service. I am glad we visited. Alex was fantastic at what he did and a great host. Three dishes into the menu we were wondering if we had made a big mistake… that certainly wasn’t the case. There were some great dishes in the main half of the menu. I am not convinced Oli Martin was overseeing the pass as I would have expected the seasoning would have been better. Thanks anyway.

We visited on a weekday lunchtime, the lunch menu is 6 courses plus the option of a cheese course. For £45 it’s unbelievable value for money, the food is exceptional, as is the service. Each course is beautifully presented, ingredients explained by the server without any fuss and everything was just beautiful. There’s a great wine list too or you can choose a wine pairing menu for each course. We’ll be back for the full evening menu soon.

Wow wow wow. Firstly I never thought a restaurant of this standard would be in Preston normally in places like London. Secondly if you haven’t been and you are reading this then book now!!! Absolutely amazing dining experience, the food is outstanding in fact too good to eat. The service from the waitresses, to the presentation of the food, to the ambience of the restaurant is amazing. We had the 11 course tasting menu, every course is explained to you by one of the waitresses which is lovely although the menu is on the table when you arrive. Will definitely dine here again. Lovely for a special occasion like an anniversary, birthday etc.

This is the first time I’ve done a taster menu and although I fully aware of what that entailed I was still a little apprehensive as to how it would all go. I shouldn’t have had any apprehension- the whole experience was an absolute delight. The food was amazing, the service excellent, the lunchtime atmosphere totally relaxed and I would heartily recommend Ok - it’s not the cheapest and I doubt very much it’s the sort of place many people will be eating there every week but I’m already saving up the next visit

2nd visit. Both service and food were excellent. The two girls doing the service were both very attentive. I had the vegetarian tasting menu and thought it was really well thought out. Especially liked the maitake mushroom and the optional cheese course. Wine pairings were also very well matched.

We had looked forward to our visit to 263 and we’re very excited that Preston now has a fine dining restaurant but we left feeling disappointed. The service was good overall. We felt a bit rushed with drinks orders. Staff were all pleasant and seemed to be knowledgeable about the elements of each dish. When I had left the table to use the bathroom a waitress stopped me and asked could I wait to go as our next dish was due or did I mind missing the description. I found this a little strange. Only one unisex toilet meant that we had to queue on the stairs each time we went. The food was good but nothing wowed us. The presentation was lovely but no taste sensations and there didn’t appear to be a centre piece dish. Portions were small, I know that this is the norm for a taster menu. We’ve had taster many taster menus but never made cheese on toast when we got home. The cheese course was extortionate. £12 for one small piece of cheese and a small piece of bread. Wines were also very expensive. The room is very noisy. It was difficult to hear each other speaking at some points. There is a lot of wood and no soft furnishings to absorb sounds. The decor looked nice though. Would I go again? Probably not but I’m glad that we gave it try

I find it hard to write this review but here goes…….. We have previously eaten Ollie’s delicious tasting menu at Hipping Hall and were so impressed that we planned a long weekend around a visit to 263. Unfortunately, our experience at 263 wasn’t as amazing as Hipping Hall and was simply disappointing to say the least. The food was ‘OK’ but it didn’t wow us. We found most courses very salty without the pops of flavour that we expect from Ollie. The only courses we enjoyed were the bread and the poached pear which were both amazing. The wine pairing was perfect except for one hiccup (noted below) and the pre dinner cocktails were outstanding. Sadly I had to provide some feedback during the evening regarding my main course. Not being a meat eater, I was given fish instead of beef however it was accompanied by wild garlic which was just too overpowering. I explained this to the Sommelier/waiter who promptly told me “well you did ask for fish, we’d normally do this dish as a vegetarian option”. Surely whatever a restaurant such as 263 serves to its clients should be perfectly complimented. We had advised them that I didn’t eat meat when we made our reservation several months ago and therefore they had plenty of time to plan this. Unfortunately this wasn’t the only example of poor service that we experienced. We opted for the wine flight but made it clear to the Sommelier that we didn’t want desert wine. He said this wouldn’t be a problem however he left for the evening before we reached this part of our meal and sadly didn’t pass our request onto the waitress. We explained again to the waitress who was very abrupt with us and promptly phoned the Sommelier to discuss our request. Unfortunately, the conversation could be overhead by the entire restaurant which was both unprofessional and embarrassing. She abruptly told us that whatever we had instead wouldn’t compliment our desert and plonked two glasses of white wine on our table. She didn’t explain anything about the wine other than it was white and from Portugal! Regrettably, we found the waitresses very unfriendly. While their knowledge of the dishes was excellent, they both looked miserable. A simple smile and pleasant conversation should be automatic in a restaurant of this standard. We witnessed neither either during our meal or earlier in the day. For example: We had arrived at 263 early afternoon to check into the hotel above the restaurant. To get to our room we had to walk through the restaurant. We walked past both waitresses and smiled hello but were greeted with stoney faces. Luckily the Sommelier was much more professional. At Hipping Hall the service was second to none, the food was outstanding and full of different flavours and layers. The chefs also visited our table to introduce themselves and explain the dishes to us and the venue/dining room was beautiful. At 263, the service was poor, the food was average and the dining room was cramped and everyone’s conversation echoed making it very loud. Overall 263 didn’t ‘Wow’ us and unfortunately wasn’t the great experience we had been looking forward to. To top it off, we were given a bill which included an exorbitant tip for the non existent service. Yes, perhaps we should have asked for this to be removed but having been embarrassed by the ‘wine’ incident, we really didn’t want to be put in that position again. I will be sending an email to Ollie with the full details of our visit and hope that he takes our comments on board. I really don’t understand how two experiences of the same chef can be so different and do wonder if Ollie actually oversees the day to day running of 263? As regular diners at high end restaurants, we sadly won’t be returning to 263. Sorry Ollie!

This is quite a difficult review to write. Firstly, the staff are friendly, attentive and very personable. The setting is lovely as is the atmosphere. We decided on the taster menu at £75 and the less expensive wine flight for £55. I have had taster menus elsewhere so had an idea about what to expect. Most of the dishes were pleasant and some were good with interesting mixtures of tastes and textures. Sadly, none of the dishes wowed me. Also, I left hungry. I did decline the cheese course which was an extra £12. As for the wine, I had 2 small glasses of white, 1 small glass of red and a dessert wine. Whilst all were pleasant, I dint feel that I’d had value for money. All in all it was a disappointing evening because it wasn’t good value for the money paid. The service charge of 10% was included with the bill and, whilst I didn’t mind paying it, it would have been nice if I had been asked.

I visited this restaurant on a first date and it was far better than the TV show! We had the taster menu and yes the portions are tiny but there are lots of courses and the range of flavours is incredible. Each course has been...

Visited again with 2 friends for the taster menu. 2x vegetarians and 2x omnivores, as good as it always is. A real gem in Preston.

Amazing taster menu with wine pairing.Each dish was exceptional as was the service explaining the dishes and the wines.We will definitely be back for each seasonal change.

Perfect food and service. Cannot recommend this place enough. It’s a must for fine dining. Will be bringing more friends next time.

Had a fantastic lunch today. Tasting menu, butter pie plus wine pairings were all fantastic. One of the best lunches we have had in a while at a good price. Will be booking to visit again soon.

Superb presentation, service and quality. This is the place to visit for "foodies" looking for a near michelin star experience. We were a table of three and all agreed that this was one of the better restaurant e<xperiences they had all had.

Lancashire has something of a foodie reputation but I'm always sceptical about trending eateries in this part of the country, following several disappointments. We booked a table for dinner at 263 because their menu online looked interesting. The location is good in the conservation area...

Incredible food with a perfect wine pairing, a really wonderful experience overall. Great to have this level of quality in Preston

Delicious, varied dishes on the tasting menu which was so plentiful we actually couldn't eat everything. Thoughtful wine list (we didn't choose the matched wine flight option), also reasonably priced. We live in London so bear in mind we are used to higher prices for...

The Chef Director at 263 is Oli Martin who is local to us in Lytham St Annes, so when I spotted that he was involved here I thought it would be a perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. The Head Chef is Rikki Hughes who...

First visit. Beautiful stylish, unpretentious decor. Great music at a good volume which added to the friendly, modern atmosphere. Great food. Very friendly, efficient service. Cannot fault. Can highly recommend.

Food was fair, some courses very average - first course was peas on a cracker! expensive peas. Value for money was poor £500 for 5 people 5 drinks + cheapest bottle of wine. The "experince " was lost on me

Never tasted food so good. Every course was bursting with flavour, with very local ingredients. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. We will be back. Thank you.

Wow wow be prepared to be blown away. This place is a hidden gem We had the lunch 7 course menu , the food is presented beautifully and the taste is to die for. The service is excellent you are looked after so well. One...

What a hidden gem in the middle of Preston. The food & wine is amazing. Service is second to none! It won’t be long before this restaurant is boasting its first Michelin star

Having heard a lot about Oli Martin ,we decided to try the lunchtime taster menu at 263 and were not disappointed and you should include the deconstructed butter pie ( which is an extra ,but well worth it ) . Some very interesting flavours and...

Great food very tasty, would definitely return and would recommend it to anyone. Service was great, young girl that served us was polite and knowledgeable. Only feedback I would give is the full menu didn’t all go together, the consumme dish was a little odd...

Visited early March on a Wednesday evening. The taster menu we had was exceptional. The service and staff were informative and very efficient.

Superb service and food at 263. We ate off the set lunch menu for £40 and we thought it was brilliant value considering the quality of cooking, produce and technique used. The only downside which is entirely out of the restaurants hands is the parking...

We booked this restaurant when we first heard it was opening as a more upmarket venue with taster courses and vegetarian options. Reading the reviews I would probably agree with most. The dining room is a lovely setting for a fine meal, the only drawback...

Family lunch for my daughter's 17th birthday. Lunch tasting menu was brilliant - 6 courses all beautifully cooked and p. Really knowledgeable staff and a lovely restaurant.

Tucked away on a quiet street at the bottom of Winckley Sq is this surprising little restaurant which also houses guest rooms/apartments. The taster menu consists of around 8 courses and we chose a wine pairing with each course. Each course is introduced to you...

My husband brought me here for a birthday treat.We weren't disappointed. The menu was a delight,he enjoyed the beer flight and I enjoyed a few reasonably priced gins. The food was fresh and flavoursome and beautifully presented. The service was spot on.

Fantastic experience, staff very knowledgeable about the food and wine. Food was of a really high standard. I would really recommend this place for a Fine Dining experience. Will certainly be back very soon.

This was our 3rd visit here and we are never disappointed, the food was delicious and the wine pairing incredible. The Venison was one of the best venison dishes I’ve had. Would highly recommend this place as a tasting experience the only (very small) issue...

Excellent discovery! 👌Brand new and local to Preston, this restaurant delivers on the high standards expected from taster menus and fine dining. We went with the vegetarian option but didn't have a favourite course as every dish on the lunch taster menu was delicious !...

Had a perfect tasting menu lunch 23rd Dec 2021. 10/10 for everything. The food was absolutely delicious. Every bite. Ambience, service, wines, decor, vibe - all on point. Can’t wait to come back.

The menu was well balanced with a good mixture. All the courses were well presented and well cooked but lacked that finishing touch to make the dishes special (except the apple desert which was excellent) The staff were all friendly. With a little refinement this...

Outstanding first visit for the tasting menu, each course was a stunning success with excellent staff in lovely surroundings.

So... 263 has reopened! Thank you Lord God and the Baby Jesus because there is absolutely nothing in Preston (let's make that Lancashire) that can compare to the food that's being served up here by Chef Oli Martin and his team of professionals. I mean...

Visited 263 yesterday evening for dinner. We had the 5 course menu and every course was delicious. Service was great, staff friendly and very knowledgable. Will definitely be going again.

Just visited today and had the 5 course tasting menu. Absolutely superb cuisine , well worthy if it’s 2 AA rosette standing, indeed, it surely deserves a higher accolade. The service was excellent too and reasonably priced wine menu too. Will be visiting again soon.

Read about this restaurant in a local Preston magazine and booked for our anniversary, it’s a small place so you definitely need to book. COVID procedures good. Lovely decor and helpful staff. Only 2 choices either the 5 course set menu - £45 pp or...

Absolutely fabulous meal with my partner, first proper time out since March so we had the wine course tasting menu. Food was exceptional, how these guys do not have a Michelin star yet I don’t know. Every single course was well thought out, immaculately presented...
