Have been in several times during the last month or so, great to see the same licensee behind the bar after so many short term licencees. The pub is spotlessly clean with a good selection of drinks. Quality pool table and dartboardf or those who enjoy playing pub games. It would he great to see pub serving food again.

Went to the Hesketh arms recently and enjoyed a lovely family meal, the table service really came in handy while eating out with a new baby so I was very pleased with everything the manageress and staff had put in place to assist us during our visit.

For god sake DON’T GO Here to EATSERVICE:Arrived no staff around, didn’t request track and trace details, no hand sanitiser. We should have left then. Finally served by a member of Staff that quite frankly had an attitude like a ‘bear with a sore head, WHY DID’NT WE LEAVE THEN. TBH, we were really hungry. Food took ages to arrive, and wasn’t hot.. FOOD; Ordered Sunday lunch. ABYSMAL. Small amount of mash, frozen Yorkshire pudding, garden peas ( which were cold), gravy congealed, chicken (very dry) and wait for it cold chips ! Left half of my meal. BurgerS ( which was described as “cowboy burger”) which is ok if your ‘Woody’ from Toy Story. Again, cold chips “half of them must have fell off the plate”, burger mediocre.....CLEANLINESS: Not bad, closer inspection. The bar was sticky and there was tables left uncleared. ATMOSPHERE: Rowdy group of me. “Who we’re old enough to know better” swearing and yawping at each other. Not socially distancing. EXIT: Ok if you like walking through “smokers alley” to the car park. POSITIVES:Only good thing to say is they that car park is large and it’s easy to find... but, don’t bother, drive past.

the overall experience of xmas day was terrible . We were supposed to eat at 3pm but didn't get food until 4.30pm. the food was terrible . my son walked out . the staff were ignorant and rude , the manageresses wouldn't give a refund . People were walking out because no food no tables set .it was disgraceful . We were given a voucher to return after complaining to Marston but the management of the Hesketh refused to honour it which i think is terrible . the manageress went on to tell my son to get a job instead of sitting there drinking needless to say he has a job . We will not be returning at any cost .

This pub is a complete joke, run by two of the most incompetent women I have ever met. Not a typical Marstons pub by any stretch of the imagination. Arrived Christmas day for a booking of 5 at 3pm. Still no sign of a table at 3.30. This was because the table of 20 before us changed all their orders. We were even told because it was such a large party (££££) they could do that. Which left only soup left as a starter for us. Shown to a table 4pm which was empty except for a cheap table runner and candle from the pound shop. Waitress bangs down 5 sets of cutlery and tells us to help ourselves!!!! No side plates, no Christmas crackers. Other customers shouting abuse at the 2 waiting staff including swearing and walking out. Still no sign of lunch at 4.45pm. So decided enough was enough and got up to leave. One manageress offered us a full £175 refund if we went back boxing day. Went back to be greeted by 2nd manageress "no more refunds". So this pub charges £35 a head for a 2 hour wait for food and you've to set your own basic table and enjoy the ambience of foul language and angry customers. Ruined Christmas day.

Now I've never frequented a pub before and it's my local. Being poorly I got a few yards one morning and was struggling so in desperation I went in... Any chance of a cuppa? Yes!

We did go again to this pub and I have to say the food was very nice except the ‘cornish’ ice cream tasted the same as Walls to me. I don’t think any self respecting Cornishman would associate himself with it.However our waiter Chris was verging on surly. I stood aside to let him through with a mop and bucket I didn’t get a nod let alone a thank you. And the same attitude when he served us ‘nice job shame about the customers type of thing’The other thing was we could hardly hear ourselves think never mind talk for badly behaved children. Not their fault bad parents but the din was awful throughout.Doubt we’ll bother to go again.Incidentally the drain right outside the kitchen that you have to pass to get from the car park to the pub was filthy plastic cup etc in it makes you wonder what the kitchens like?

Went to Hesketh Arms with my two young children and I can’t complain at all. Friendly staff and good food. One of the owners overheard my son saying he wanted waffles and chips to which I said he had to have one or the other, when his meal came she had put both chips and waffles on for him at no extra cost. In addition they also gave my daughter some ice cream at no extra cost. Will definitely be going again.

My partner ordered the mix grill which was 12 pound and really small compared to every were else we have been he didnt enjoy the steak and the egg was over cooked he said the best thing about it was the gammon. The onion rings tasted like fish I wouldn't waste your time and money.

We were staying at Travelodge Preston central which is 1 mile down the road. This was the nearest place for a full English breakfast and what a breakfast it was!. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, with Natalia the chef coming over and having a pleasant conversation with us. We ordered a small breakfast and a steak and eggs. Both came in good time and were perfect. I never tried steak and eggs on a skillet, but will have it again in future. A young waitress came over to see if our breakfasts were ok. We felt looked after. The pub is clean and has a nice atmosphere. We thank all staff for a lovely welcoming visit and I am very sure we will visit again when we are in the area again.

Was recently disappointed with Hesketh pub we ordered two hallomi burgers for and and a coke for our client. The burger bun was stale and guacamole was stale also as I we could taste the stale avacado which I assume could have gone past it expiry date but was still made put in out stale bun and also whilst my client who was partially blind drank his coke there was a black thing visible from outside we asked him to stop drinking so we could investigate more and much to our horror the knob from the coke dispenser had fallen in. When I made a complaint all the woman said was sorry and nothing more not even an offer of another free drink or something else I wish I had spoken to the manager about this and also taken a picture of the knob that was in the glass. Pathetic service beware.

The worst thing was the chef - he came out of the kitchen in whites that were dirty and looked like they hadn't been cleaned from one shift to the other, his hair was below neckline (not wearing a chefs hat) and looked like it had been dipped in the deep fat fryer and he looked like he could of done with a good bath.quite off putting when you are eating food from his kitchen!!!On visiting Hesketh Arms for lunch I have to say the food was edible, I don't think I will eat there again though, i wanted a salad with salmon and was told they didn't have it. so everything on the menu is not always available.I had jacket potato with gammon, I had to ask twice for butter for the potato, desert was treacle pudding which was rock hard (the spoon stood up in it) so had to exchange.

We came to the Hesketh Arms whilst staying in nearby Bamber Bridge and only came because it was a lot cheaper than the chain pub next to our hotel and we thought we'd know exactly what we were getting for our money.We ordered 5 mains and they came after a 25 minute wait. Three of the mains were fine, exactly as we ordered. However, two were a bit hit and miss. My mother-in-law ordered the simply chicken which came with a jacket potato that had been microwaved but not for long enough. As a result it was hard and she was only able to eat a little. To be fair we mentioned it as she was eating it and they did offer to replace it although no doubt it would have been another microwaved jacket spud. My wife ordered an 8oz rump steak and unfortunately it had a layer of fat/gristle in the middle of it rendering most of it inedible. The fried onions were also slightly undercooked therefore she only had chips as her main meal. We mentioned it to the waitress who sent the manager who was thoroughly apologetic and offered to replace it. She then refunded the cost of my wife's meal as well as part of the cost of my mother-in-law's meal. So although the meal wasn't the best the way it was dealt with was brilliant.

Visited here today with my family. We ordered two of the classic burger meal deals which came with a drink and fries for £5 and two children's meals for £4.50. One got chicken nuggets, chips and corn on the cob and the other got BBQ chicken, chips and corn on the cob. Also included in the children's meals, they got a drink and a build your own sundae dessert. Everyone really enjoyed their meals as they were tasty and filling and we all agreed it was great value for money. The staff were very friendly and helpful and although fairly quite, the atmosphere was great, despite the awful weather. We will definitely be coming here again and I would recommend the Hesketh Arms for anyone looking for a great meal at a great price.

Visited as I was working in the area and wanted to watch the England game. Nice tidy place that serves excellent food for the price (Like all Sizzlers the steak was excellent quality and value, Less than £9 for a big steak and a pint of Guinness, Guinness was top notch as well). Is a bit of what I would call a 'proper' pub however after talking to the manager briefly he is working on making it much more family friendly than it used to be.Only down side was no real ale but once again the manager informed they do not have much call for it however if more people start asking he would be happy to put some on.

We were on holiday in Lancashire and had already enjoyed a nice meal in the Sizzling Pub in Lytham and decided to go to another of their pubs near to our hotel - The Hesketh Arms. On arrival, there couldn't have been a bigger contrast between the two pubs - one was very modern, clean, attentive bar staff and good food and then the Hesketh Arms! Our first impression was lots of parents drinking outside with their children playing in the car park. On entering the bar there were groups of men drinking with lots of swearing. This is the point that we discussed whether to just leave but we were hungry so decided to persevere. Found a quiet corner and ordered our food after feeling quite intimidated at the bar. Food came fairly quickly and my daughters and mine were fine and tasty. My partner had the sausage and mash and straightaway commented that it didn't taste right but put it down to the herbs but didn't eat it all. Early hours the next morning my partner started to feel unwell and was severely sick and continued this way until the evening. This is the only meal he had had that was different to ours and feel sure that the sausages were the cause.It won't put me off Sizzling Pubs but I would choose a better choice of venue next time.

Went for family meal most of the food was good just the steak and kidney pie was very dry good job I had gravy for it also had to wait 5 minutes for someone to appear behind the bar to get some drinks,I think more staff would help but all in all for the price it wasn't to bad woul d probably give them another chance.

We found the pub easily from the directions on the Sizzling Pubs website. Slightly annoying having to pay for parking, but you do get your money back off your order (although I'm not convinced I did!)Staff were friendly. Main food area is attractive and comfortable. I'm sure there was some confusion about what we ordered and what we actually got. All 3 dishes were slightly wrong, but in fairness, all tasted nice and did the job. Staff really shouldn't tell you that something is included as standard and then charge extra for it. It would also help if they knew the menu better.Not our best experience of a Sizzling Pub, but certainly no huge problem. Enjoyed our food. That's good enough!

The Hesketh is a great pub in a really great location on the corner of Blackpool Road and Newhall Lane. We have frequented this pub from when we first arrived in Preston back in te late 1980s to current day. The pub has seen many change of owners and makeovers and is currently decorated and laid out to quite a good standard. There is a good range of both drinks and food n offer. The food is to a reasonable standard. What recently lets the place don quite badly is both the bar and serving staff who are both quite rude and very bad at their jobs. On some occasions the food is cold but when you speak to the staff they are unapologetic and unhelpful.

Having attended this lovely traditional pub on many occasions, I decided to take my visiting family for lunch. I was so disappointed. I ordered southern friend chicken and chips from the lite lunch menu. What arrived were 3 measly strips of chicken barely the width of a strand of spaghetti! Needless to say all you could taste was the coating! The 3 together weren't even a goujon! The chips were nicely cooked but at £6.50 for the meal, meant they became the most expensive portion of chips I've ever bought!!! Very disappointed

The pub itself has lovely staff. Always help out where they can. It can become quite busy on a Friday/Saturday night. That's because of the location of the pub etc and that it's a weekend.The food area is at one side of the pub and you're never waiting too long for your meals. For the price you pay it is definitely worth it. I have tried a few things on their menu and have always been satisfied. Overall this is a nice place to grab some tea when cooking seems the last option and you want to get out of the house!

Popped in for a quick spot of tea the other evening. Really friendly staff, quick and polite. Amazing value as well. For the prices charged I wasn't expecting full meals, but they turned out to be huge, and beautifully cooked. Drinks prices were great as well. I would certainly recommend, and will drop in again next time I am passing.

We were really pleased with the service, the speed the food was served in and the food was really good. We ordered the burger meal, two meals for £7 and a large gammon meal and they were all excellent, we'll certainly return. The only thing to note was the building wasn't very warm. :)

Usually love coming here but was horrendous today. Table next to us was shouting loudly top of their voices. When asked if they could be quiet we were told no as they are staff at their other restaurant. Other people asked to move table. Sadly ruined my evening to the point o didn’t even eat my main. Asked if I could have it to take out shocking that they prioritise their staff over customers. Won’t be back for a while just think it’s ridiculous how loud people are without any consideration for others.

Great staff! Went here for a friend's 30th birthday, they were doing karaoke and the DJ very kindly timed it so our friend could sing a song and then do a countdown to midnight! Very sweet, thank you!
