Forum in Preston

lovely meal, lovely service, lovely drinks, 10/10 experience, thank you to Alex our server who made it a lovely evening

Popped in on Sunday and had the two course special. Our waiter Will was so attentive and pleasant throughout our meal. The food was lovely, wine spot on and atmosphere so chilled. The price was appropriately priced for a city centre. Best lunch time meal we've had for a while, so I highly recommend the Forum. Thanks to Will for making the day.

We booked the upstairs private function room for a post wedding event on 30th August. The room was ideal, the staff excellent and the organisation brilliant. The management just couldn't do enough to make this event special and tried to accommodate our every need. The canapés we had during the afternoon were also of a very high standard. We would recommend this place to anyone. Thank you so much for an excellent day.

Delicious food, the small plates choice is excellent and everything was so tasty. Finished a great night with a lovely cocktail

We have visited here a number of times and have never been disappointed. Today both the food and service were excellent, as always.

Lovely Bar/Restaurant Food and service excellent Never had a bad meal here and the menu is great something for everyone including small or sharing plates

Extremely pleasant and friendly staff, food was lovely and all round great setting. Our waiter Ryan was very accommodating and attentive too, lovely evening meal.

Thanks Will! Delicious food and drinks! Good music and great staff! Good questions about first crushes and tattoo exchanges ❤️

Amazing service and exclusive food quality. Special thanks to Will for excellent skills on customer service . Definitely coming back .

Always amazing everytime we come service and food is always perfect was served by david today and couldn’t of asked for better service

Very nice meal. Plenty to choose from. Excellent service and nice venue with good atmosphere and facilities. Would return

Visited here Friday 15th March, we arrived just at the end of lunch service around 3pm. The food, service and value were all excellent. We ordered a selection of small plates the sharing starter board. Everything was excellent and we shall certainly be returning in the near future

Great atmosphere , good choice of dishes , Simona the lady that served us was very efficient , happy and professional, would highly recommend Forum

Another fabulous lunch! I had the small plate of Moroccan chicken skewers as a main meal (due to my having a small appetite) along with a side of frites (sadly forgot to order the side salad too!) My other half had a small plate of the mussels in rich tomato sauce as a starter…it was big for a small plate and he thought it delicious. For the main course he had the chicken and chorizo penne…again he loved it. The two front house staff did an amazing job of taking orders, serving and clearing tables…not a cheap eat but definitely worth it.

Great spot for dinner - great food, great service (William was ace!). Would highly recommend! Small plates and main courses…tonight I had the Vietnamese noodles!

Super lovely staff, wine is great 10/10 Shame there was no fruity dessert e.g. apple on the menu maybe a cheesecake or crumble

Excellent tasty and interesting food, with a great range of flavours and textures. Server Will was very helpful with some adjustments for diet/allergy needs. Definitely recommend. 5/5

We often call in here when in Preston, it never disappoints, the staff are so pleasant the food is constantly good with plenty of choice and it’s always a warm friendly atmosphere

My wife and I live in Lancaster but like to visit Preston every now and again for an evening out and we are never disappointed by Forum. The staff are super friendly, helpful, and attentive and the food is really tasty (I had the vietnamese rice noodles with chicken and my wife had the malaysian beef curry - both were excellent!). The vibe inside is relaxed but it still feels a little more up market and fancy for a meal out. The range of drinks on offer are great too and not the usual stuff you might find in lots of other pubs and bars.

Visited early Saturday evening for a birthday meal. Extensive menu with lots of choice. Went for the small plates Moroccan chicken skewers, garlic prawns and a side order of parmesan/truffle fries. The skewers were delicious and the sauce that’s comes with was bursting with flavour. One of the nicest dips I have ever tried. The garlic prawns were amazing , juicy, plump and full of flavour. The fries were also very good. I tried a Zombie cocktail and was pleasantly surprised as I find cocktails too sweet normally. The Zombie was zingy and refreshing. The ambience and atmosphere is chilled and the style and decoration of this gem of a place is particularly striking. Stunning in fact. The staff couldn’t do enough for us and the service was swift and attentive. Only constructive feedback to offer - our table was very wobbly which we rectified ourselves with a couple of napkins. Fab venue, good value, great staff, marvellous food. All round winner. Will be returning very soon.

Good food, good drinks, great waiter William. We will definitely return and recommend to friends.

Amazing food, great cocktails, really nice server who was always on hand. Would definitely go again.

I booked a party of 19 for a works Xmas party and Ryan, Will and the team were very helpful and efficient with helping me book, answer my questions and put in my pre order. On the night (earlier this week) all the food was excellent, very tasty, and all served hot at the same time which is never easy with a large party of people. I eat here quite regularly and know it’s always good food but others had come from other parts of the country and all said how good it was. Big thanks to Ryan and the team :)

We stopped by for a quick lunch while shopping on Monday. As it was Monday it was not very busy. Very friendly and attentive staff. Food was ready quite quickly and very tasty.

Just off the main street and well worth a visit. Excellent food and service. Tried several meals off the menu, including Katsu and Malaysian curry, club sandwiches, and all very tasty. Good selection of drinks and cocktails. It's tricky to find, but it's worth searching it out.

The food and service was as excellent as ever. Ryan was extremely pleasant and helpful. Obviously enjoys his job and ensures his customers enjoy their time at Forum too. Thank you.

From the time we arrived to the time we left we had exceptional service from friendly and attentive staff. The food was very good we had the Lancastrian Burger. The provision of a bottle of water on he table was also a bonus. We would highly recommend the restaurant to anyone in Preston or like us visitors (we were staying at the premier inn which was less than 5 minutes away.

Always lovely food and extremely friendly staff! Thanks to Ryan who always goes above and beyond and looks after us!

This was our first visit here and it did not disappoint. We originally came for drinks but then decided to grab a dessert menu, I chose the Salted Caramel Profiteroles and my partner chose the Cheesecake. The service was impeccable - very professional and fast, the waiters were also lovely, really welcoming and friendly. The cocktails were also great and service again was fast. Loved the decor and the vibe throughout the place and cannot wait to come back - definitely for a main meal! The food smelt and looked delicious.

From the moment we stepped through the door my friends and I were warmly greeted, seated and offered drinks. The staff were very attentive and friendly. The food was hot and full of flavour, absolutely perfect in every way. We will definitely return, it was superb.

Lovely place! Great food & drinks, friendly staff and pleasant surroundings on the prettiest street in Preston! Well worth a visit for dining or just drinks!

Visited with friends on a late Saturday afternoon, we hadn’t booked so took our chances, they opened up the upstairs early for us, very accommodating and friendly staff and lovely food. Have visited quite a few times for food and drinks and it’s always been very good 👍🏻

Fabulous food lovely atmosphere and great value for money - would definitely recommend. Attentive staff have been back several times in the last few weeks and consistently good food and service

We popped on down to Forum for a date night, all of the food was exceptional and all cocktails very well made! Our waiter was Ryan and was very friendly and attentive. An all round lovely experience

I went with my daughter for little brunch after shopping,it was very nice experience,nice tasty food and drinks. Simona was looking after us,she’s was lovely,her service was very good and professional.We will definitely come back to Forum.Highly recommended.

Had an absolutely fab time last night - Food was amazing and of course the cocktails are the best in town! Would like to thank the staff who were really friendly and helpful - fabulous service! Highly recommend!

Good food, relaxing atmosphere, really spacious and had a great table for 5 in the corner. Fantastic service. Good selection of cocktails and made Gin Martinis even though not on the menu.

Absolutely great experience we when with my partner for lunch. The food was really nice and service was also great been served by Simona she was very polite and friendly.

Excellent, service ( by the wonderful Will) drinks and food! We will definitely come again soon. The Greek Meze was really nice as the ERDINGER. ............................... .....

Lovely food & great service (as always at Forum!) Thanks particularly to Simona for looking after us so well on a busy Friday lunchtime. Would highly recommend.

Had my graduation lunch here. It was lovely. Very good service from Ryan, thank you for a very pleasant visit.

Casual place with good food and friendly service. Mellow background music and good value for money. Worth a visit if you out with family or friends

We were served by Will tonight he was awesome and very kind and funny! Will definitely come again purely just to see will…. Think I fancy him

Came here for food and drinks recently and was impressed by the quality of the food and drinks. Will looked after us, service was amazing!

Great evening at The Forum, good food & beverages and great service from Will who was very attentive.

The food is amazing, the Monday - Thursday £20 deal is well worth it! The chorizo was so juicy but soft and tasty!! Great service thank you David :)

Food was super. Only bettered by the service and attention from the staff. We will definitely go back again.

Made a last-minute booking at The Forum for lunch with my Friend. Staff were attentive, the restaurant itself was a pleasure to dine in and the food was great. All made for a very enjoyable, relaxing, mid-week lunch. Will definitely return.

Lunching with a friend today. Staff, as ever, very pleasant and helpful. Excellent food from a wide menu choice. Lovely atmosphere. No wonder this is one of my favourite places in Preston.

This was our first time at Forum. The inside was lovely, relaxing, friendly, clean atmosphere. Only one thing I would say as a positive criticism is that it could do with a little more lighting, I felt it was a little on the dark side...

8 of us ate here. All thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Starters and drinks included. Service was also brilliant

We had lunch with friends on a Thursday afternoon. The menu is an eclectic mix. The prices af food and wine are reasonable. The decor is pleasing and subtle. The staff are friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the day we visited the restaurant was very quiet...

The restaurant is nice inside and the staff were friendly. The rice noodles were tasty although the portion was small for £16. The cocktails were good but a shame that they were no longer on 2-4-1 midweek. The food was good although overpriced. £24.50 is...

The food was beautiful, and delicious. Everything was great! Staff were very friendly and even got some sort of January discount. P.S. the ceiling is mesmerising.

I have been coming up to Preston since Sept last year as part of a university course. I came across the Forum purely by chance and go on my own for an evening meal. I have been at least half a dozen times since then...

My partner and I absolutely love coming to Forum on our day off for lunch. We’ve tried so many places along the Fylde coast and it’s by far our favourite. We have the exact same thing each time we come and the waiter doesn’t even...

My husband is a huge advocate for Forum and asked if I would support the bar whilst out and encourage my work colleagues to support and go in for drinks. We were refused entry due to too many people in our party and not pre...

We don't usually lunch in Preston, we normally snack. Today it was a very warm day and a sit down meal sounded good. We saw it was busy outside the Forum with people eating and after viewing the menu dived in. Outside it was very...

My favourite place to go for cocktails and food in Preston, never any issues and always great, especially when the sun is out and you can sit outside. I always recommend to friends and family

We have eaten here a number of times and never been disappointed. We love the choice on the menu. As usual the service and the food were excellent. It feels like a real treat. We definitely recommend Forum

Great bar, always very friendly and smart staff. Very attentive and a good range of drinks. Haven’t eaten here but will do next visit as the food always looks very good

This was our first visit to Forum and were surprised to learn that it has been open since 2005. This will definitely not be our last visit. Great cocktails, food, decoration, atmosphere and staff. Enjoyed it so much never took the time to take any...

An oasis in the desert on Easter Sunday. The staff could t be better and the food was amazing. Just a little tip, ask for less ice in the drinks as there is little drink in there over it. Will deffo be back

Lamb Kofta wrap was my choice and they were happy to let me have my own twist on a margarita drink. There is a wide range of food and drinks to choose from too. Service was impeccable as always; speedy and friendly. Vicki has always...

The restaurant is located few meters from the Fishergate main street. Nicely decorated. Staff very nice, knowledgeable and service minded. Menu inspired by Asian kitchen. Perhaps too many chicken dishes? Good selection of spirits and wines. Prices average.

Popped in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and was not disappointed. I had falafel and my partner had a steak sandwich; both presented really well and tasted lovely and fresh. Service was good although I wish the staff would wear masks as it would...

Wonderful service - relaxed atmosphere and the best chicken wings my husband has ever had - trust me he’s has a lot 😉 Highly recommend for a random drop in whilst in Preston city centre

Booked for a Christmas get together with friends. Whilst I was actually ill on the day the other 7 people still enjoyed a delicious meal. From coming into the premises to leaving my husband, and the others, said they were really pleased with how the...

The menu has lots of variety so our party of 10 adults plus 1 child were not short of options. The food was delicious, evidenced by all the empty plates. Some of us had deserts, some coffees and some cocktails, everyone enjoyed what they had....

Had an amazing night here on Friday. The staff were very accommodating for our large group to celebrate a friends birthday. Can't fault a thing, food, cocktails and service all first class. Thank you so much for making it a special night.

We always stop at Forum for lunch before travelling, as it’s so handy for the station. We came for lunch on Sunday, along with 10 friends and family members, who were all peeling off to get trains at various times… We had a large table...

We booked for Forum the previous day but is wasn't busy. Arriving at 1-30 we sat inside and received the menus and gave our drinks order almost immediately. The wine is no more expensive than other venus of it's type. I thought that Amstel at...

Visited here for a spot of lunch, with a specific requirement for great cocktails. The cocktails were amazing, the food average. I had the buttermilk chicken but was disappointed when it arrived as it looked like posh version of something I'd get in The Twelve...

Generally speaking Forum is a lovely place. Located at the heart of the city on a socially busy street next to pubs and restaurants. The service here is absolutely lovely. I’d like to mention Vicky here who on multiple occasions has been the utmost friendly...
