Lea Gate in Preston

Great food fast service excellent staff even replaced one childs meal after spilling a drink in it and staff where very helpful

Loved the food, daughter had the gravy one which she loved, I had the burger sizzler which again was lovely, although the steak wasn't the best but still nice. Good menu, will definitely call again. 👍

I enjoyed my evening spent at the Lea Gate and went to the restaurant area for dinner on the evening in which we arrived and then breakfast the following morning. Everything was perfect. We were told a 30 minute wait on food due to a Christmas party booking but our meals arrived within 15 minutes. I cannot recommend the Lea Gate enough.

Stayed here and ate in the pub. I have a mixed review, bedroom was comfortable and clean, though thin walls so could sometimes hear things in the night. A good bathroom. The window catch was broken meaning a very slight draft into the room The menu here is big with a good mix of options. The food quality and service in the restaurant is a bit hit and miss. Steak and ale pie excellent. Some dishes particularly breakfast don’t have great flavour. Some good desserts. Kind, friendly staff. The prices are very affordable, would recommend trying it out.

Came here for tea with friends tonight and everything was spot on, food was tasty and staff were friendly and welcoming. Although it did look like they were under staffed as I only saw 3 members of staff all night including the bar man. Shout out to Amy duty manager and the rest of her team we will definitely be returning.

Lovely Food and great choices on the menu with daily meal deals and good service and Dog friendly see pic 1

It was a lovely atmosphere and the food was epic staff where very friendly

First time in a few years we’ve visited, lovely food and atmosphere.

Lovely lunch here today. A warm welcome from Ian the Manager and excellent service from all the staff. Special mention Michellle who can advise on the menu and provides a cheerful and efficient service, We will return again soon.

Fantastic breakfast. Friendly staff. Family friendly environment.

I've stayed here a couple of times when working in central Preston. It's just what I need... Easy to get to... Just far enough out of the city for a little drive... A fine breakfast (if slightly modest for a larger appetite)... Very clean rooms and very nice staff and service.

Friendly staff food nice and hot and great value for money would definitely recommend

Came today 10/11/2024. The food has always been good,,but today the food was awful, the beef was so fatty, mashed potato was hard and cold, roast potatoes like hard stones. Offered us a drink which mum had one but I'm driving. Won't be back.

We have just been for my husbands birthday & our 8 year wedding anniversary. What a shambles. Not one staff member actually looked happy to be there. Our starters came, they were actually was nice. My chicken tikka came, I paid the extra for the vegetable samosa, onion bhaji and mint dip, the mint dip didn't arrive the onion bhaji and samosa was burnt. I asked for a replacement, was told they aren't burnt and if they was to come out any lighter they wouldn't be cooked right through. So I took a bite, almost broke my tooth on the samosa, could use that as a little javelin, the onion bhaji tasted burnt and looked like it had been on a heavy night at the crematorium. I wish I could upload the pictures... I went to the bathroom and almost puked up what I'd eaten with the smell of damp! Not been here for a few years.... used to be good. Won't be returning!!!

Great place. Good menu choice. Good food and friendly staff. Plenty of parking.

We visited yesterday (20/10/24) and unfortunately was let down. I come to this pub quite often as I normally enjoy my experience there. However last night was anything but enjoyable. We ordered our food and drinks via the app which was very easy to navigate. We waited roughly around 5 minutes for our drinks, which was no issue. However when the drinks arrived, we noticed that there was food stuck on the inside of the glasses. I understand staff may have missed this, however when brought to their attention, the girl behind the bar did not know what to say and eventually allowed us to have clean glasses. Once that was resolved, we were waiting for our starter to come out, we were handed cutlery in advance however there was also food stuck on two of the forks. This really let me and my party down as we couldn't understand how that was also missed. We asked for new cutlery, which was sorted swiftly, and asked if we wanted some side plates for our starter, to which we said yes. However they did not arrive with the starter so had to ask another member of staff. The food was enjoyable however some parts of our meals were hard to bite into which meant we had to cut those bits off. However after all these incidents, it seems as if the pub is not organised and that the staff are doing so much that they can't remember what they have asked you. It really did spoil our little birthday meal and I feel as though the issues could have been resolved better.

Staff were very friendly and food was good.

Although the hotel could do with a lick of paint I found it clean and comfortable, the room was very quiet so good night's sleep. The shower could have done with a bit more pressure but was adequate. The greeting by the receptionist was very welcoming and every time I saw her she was bubbly and smiling. The breakfasts were very good. Unfortunately on my last morning the chef did not turn in for work so no cooked breakfast. I found in the evenings there was no one at the bar to serve and I had to wait quite a while before I was attended to.

Lovely food, very good value for money, we had the two course Thursday. Delicious desserts for £1 each. Nice friendly atmosphere, friendly staff and good service.

Great value food, efficient service and appreciated being able to order by app to avoid the bar queues. Staff very friendly and helpful, food served quickly and very tasty. Busy on a Friday night but a great atmosphere with families and children welcome. We also had breakfast here the following morning as we stayed in the pub rooms. Much quieter for breakfast but lovely atmosphere again and staff very friendly.

Stopover on our way north from Hampshire. Great value for money, very friendly staff and good, reasonably priced food. Also stayed over at the hotel attached, again very good value, comfortable beds and good shower. Everything we needed for our stay, would recommend to anyone.

Really pleasant food, regular visitors

For some reason I really liked this place 😂 it was giving - childhood nostalgia. It wasn't particularly up-to-date but it just had a really comfortable vibe to it and the food was good comfort food ~

Great staff good little pub on side of a roads got hotel foods good, downloads greene king sports app free drink good deals

Overall a good stay. The staff were outstanding, both reception and at breakfast. The restaurant team really went out of their way to make sure we had a great breakfast, previous guests had pocketed most of the pastries etc, but the team made sure we had plenty. The rooms were ok, a bit dated but spotless and the bed was really comfy. The shower really was bad though! Barely a trickle!

Stayed here during Radio 2 in the park. Staff were so welcoming and friendly. Looked after us really well and the food was very good for the price.

Food very reasonably priced staff very friendly and helpful. My only criticism is the food plates could be hot.

Great service and good meal. I had a half jerk chicken, spiced wings with Coleslaw and spice rice. My husband had traditional scampi, chips and peas. Both meals came out steaming hot. Good pace to come for tea especially after 7pm.

Wonderfull..food very tasty..staff very friendly..will be recc it to friends and fimily.

Appalling break .all running late 45 minutes wait .drap.men toilet filthy hand .fi ger prints over 3 doors fithy dirty place staff lazy not be back

Lovely food, friendly staff and nice atmosphere, thank you.

We came here for a birthday meal and where do I start The food was amazing and the service is very fast and the staff are very helpful and polite

Great value menu, clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff

We enjoyed our Sunday evening meal, it was delicious 😋 the service was excellent, served with a smile ☺ and a lovely calm relaxed atmosphere. I chose the salmon.. we had a lovely sweet .. must be new on the menu as I can't track it on my WW app .. I'm upset about this .. I think a trifle shortbread and frozen custard?

Nipped in with my dad as we were feeling peckish on the way back from blackpool and could not had had a more pleasant experience, Charlotte the manager was friendly and very welcoming and shell who worked on the front of house served us our food and it was perfect. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

Great food every single time we come here. Fresh fish, chicken, curry, etc. Service is always brilliant and the staff are always very helpful. This is now our new regular spot to meet up during the week

Staying next door in what was the Premier Inn - had the chicken skewers salad and jacket potato and a cheeky G&T good value for money whilst staying on my diet - staff friendly and they found me a quiet table as I was eating alone as staying for work

Called in when passing and was a nice quiet pub with very good service and quick serving on the food. Only criticism was the toilets could have been a bit cleaner and 1 soap dispenser was empty. But overall a good experience with good food.

Charlotte the manager who lives at the pub WAS DISGUSTINGLY RUDE TO ME AND PARTNER WHILE WE HAD CHILDREN WITH US AND SHE WAS RUDE SHAME ON THAT PUB

Super nice waiters, very rich and varied food and at a good price. The setting is very successful. Highly recommended

Good service, and good cheap food 👍

Nice food, nice room both good value. Very convenient location for my job

The service was great, the food was hot.

Really nice place….Reuben when above and beyond to make sure we were comfortably seated and looked after, all in all a lovely experience and the food was delicious:))

Monday special of 15 oz gammon steak was an excellent deal and certainly filling. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Very friendly staff, tasty food and decent pricing

Amazing food and easy access disabled parking

Very average. 2 Sunday dinners for £13.99. you get what you pay for. The staff were lovely though.

Came for fish and fries cooked absolutely beautifully. Staff attentive and gave us extra peri peri sauce, checked back on us. Happy with this experience and most definitely would recommend to anybody!

Stayed over for a few nights, in a good location with good access to Preston and motorways. The accomodation was good value for money, it's certainly not a 5 star room, but that's not what it's pitched as! Room is functional and staff friendly on the hotel and bar front. Breakfast was pretty good and well priced, only thing is I didn't enjoy the sausages, however the team were happy to give me extra bacon instead. Suitable for dogs and children, nice selection of beer. All in all enjoyed our stay thank you!

Lovely plentiful food portions. Friendly staff. Good value for money.

Excellent service and food! Friendly staff!

I must say ,it's more like a trucker hotel inside , staff ok every time I sat down for dinner the table was sticking,95% off the food was from a microwave and breakfast was ok lol

good food and great friendly service highly recommended

We had the Super Breakfast! It was amazing! Bacon was a tad salty but apart from that great value! We’ll come again!

very nice, staff were nice and friendly even when we came in quite late. food came quickly is very clean and a nice environment

Great food great prices staff very helpful and polite. Worth a visit. Just had a nice breakfast

Came at a quiet time, and the food and service were great. Good value. Nice place to sit and eat. Good range of kids food too

Friendly staff always been helpful.

Good price ratio, excellent parking

Went with my family ordered fish and chips mine came uncooked in the centre sent it back they brought me another one 15 minutes after my family had finished eating I won't be going back

Food is always hot and tasty. Service is always good. Good pub fayre.

Great pub with traditional hungry horse pub food. Had a little problem with the meal but it was rectified in the end. Lots of room and friendly bar staff

Don't think there's better value for your money than this place anywhere nearby, drinks and food are cheap, of decent quality and the staff are very helpful

Very friendly staff quick service would definitely come again

Really nice pub with good food and great service.

We were driving past and stopped for food. We sat in the front garden area which was immaculate. The staff were lovely and the food was very nice. Thank you.

Ruben our server was amazing and nothing was too much trouble.

Stayed in room 16 for 3 nights from 23rd April, was visiting my son in university and also used the mini break as part recuperation and rest due to suffering a bout of pneumonia, having lived in Kirkham for 16 years I knew the area well, so fit perfect. cannot fault the room or the pub for food, staff spot on and will be back in July with the wife. Many thanks 👍

Great and friendly staff, food super fast and reallly loved the atmosphere.

Food great value , staff very attentive & fast service 😁👍

Nice little place for cheap bite and afew pints in the sun. Staff always lovely and helpful 👌 and foods bang on for the price 👍

Came in at 6pm for the Sunday carvery after I had checked at half 5 what time they was serving it till was told 9 Found a empty table with the dog as this pub is advertised dog friendly After deciding what we wanted was told we would have to move tables with the dog to one in the bar We waited for one in the bar to empty And when I finally got to place my order since on a busy day there was only one person taking orders I was told both dinners had sold out No apology or gesture of good will for their messing around

Food OK, nothing special, I would not recommend the new Bangin Katsu Banquet - this was poor! Famous salt and pepper fries were not famous, they were just covered in sprinkled spice that hadn't even been cooked in, it was like it had been spilt by accident. The mixed grill and gammon was OK though.

Staff are brilliant food perfection it's the only place I go for breakfast can't fault in any way

Georgia served us with a lovely smile and a friendly approach , enjoyed our lovely meal in a fantastic atmosphere. Such a friendly pub that you must try , all the staff are lovely💖x

As always the food came out in record time, great service and at a great price - quality, good no nonsense food.

Friendly staff in both hotel and pub. Clean, good sized rooms. Food was above standard for this type of restaurant. Very well cooked, good size portions, served hot and well presented. Would highly recommend

Great food, fantastic accommodation, staff lovely 😍

Very good food and great service

Really good food very good staff very helpful and great for kids definitely coming again

Had curry & drink we'd. Thought I would upgrade. To super special £10. Could not finish it. To full. It was very nice. Will come back.

Very friendly staff. Very welcoming. The food is really good.

Been here quite a few times now and every time the food and service has been excellent. I would recommend the Lea Gate to everyone. I will be calling again quite soon. Keep up the great work.

Always use this place when in the area

The food wasn't bad but service was good and friendly, very spacious with nice atmosphere

Amazing food steak exactly how I wanted it would recommend eating here

This is my 3rd time writing a review for Lea Gate - We stopped at the hotel for two nights, ate twice and both mornings for breakfast. Overall the food was great. There was a complaint filed due to the attitude of a duty manager. This was resolved by Claire the general manager. Overall I would recommend Lea Gate as a hotel and somewhere to eat.

The presentation of our food made me more hungry..it looked great and lots of it. The price was very good too. We had a sizzler consisting of 8oz rump steak with fried onions and peppers, chips, corn on the cob and a sauce also a salmon fillet pasta salad and 2x cocktails. Value price of £23 . Staff very polite and attentive. We'll be returning soon

Went with family for a quick bit of food on Easter Sunday. Food was really nice for what it was and each of us enjoyed what we ordered. Son and wife had pudding that looked tasty and got a thumbs up from both of them. Bonus points for the staff who from the bar staff to servers were all really friendly and helpful. First time visit as it is a bit out of the way from our local but will defo go back.
