New Continental - Preston in Preston

Love it, great choice of ales, lowenbrau on draft, food is tasty, and atmosphere is fun. Frequent bands appear there can make for a great night out and not too expensive.

Lovely food and relaxed atmosphere

This is a great pub. Friendly with a lovely selection of cask beers and very good food. 10/10

A great place, lots of nice beers and friendly staff.

Great place to go for drinks on a sunny day, large outdoor area with plenty of tables. Good selection of drinks, spoilt for choice in fact, will visit again !

Great pub, good selection of beers and cracking live bands

Not much choice in beers. Sat down in the conservatory, the glass was filthy and overall looked shabby.

Great pub with a beer garden and occasional live events- including music, comedy and theatre.

Great place for live music & well organised .

I took my dad for a stroll around Avenham park, which is beautiful by the way. We parked the car in one of the entrances car parks. Upon return to the car we decided to go to the New Continental for a bite of lunch as it is opposite the car park. This is a hidden gem of a pub. Really nice rooms, outdoor space and large conservatory to sit in or out. The lunch menu was extensive and very tasty. Would definitely go again

My fiancee had chicken parmesan on a ciabatta it was ok she said but the chicken was rather tough, possibly a little over cooked. Mine was the CBLT on ciabatta and that was delicious..

Great venue for live bands. Had an excellent evening. Helpful staff

My favourite place from long time

Had the best day visiting Preston, sat out in the beer garden, great selection of drinks and staff very friendly, will definitely be back.

Nice selection of beers . We sat in the beer garden which is by the river . There is a lot of work going on by the river bank so it will be better when that is done !

We had a celebration for my wife and everything was superbly done. Can't wait to go again

Pint of Berliner Pilsner & Double Cheese Burger 🍔, fries & dip Nice 👌🏼😊

Only went for a quick drink. Sat in garden. Was lovely and clean.

Good service, good selection of beers, good food.

Great selection of drinks and the food was very good.

Fantastic pub. Not only was the service and beer fantastic, not only was the roast dinner a solid 9 out of 10 (only marked down slightly because ever so slightly overdone Yorkshires, although past the slightly bitter crust they were absolutely delicious and fluffy inside, but more than full marks for the rest X especially the nice surprise of FANTASTIC mash hiding under the roast beef), but the staff were still really sweet even after we accidentally did a runner when my compadre had to get to the station really quickly! Ouch! Feel like such a fool. Still - fantastic pub, and if I'm ever in Preston again I'll be back 🕺

Was in the Snug (which is pretty large) for an acoustic gig. Comfy, great atmosphere, very enjoyable

Enjoyed good food in comfortable garden, then great music. Good beers choice & pleasant, friendly staff. What an enjoyable evening!

Great selection and quality of beer in a great location. Cosy inside with loads of space outside and dog friendly

Great place but overpriced now and food average for the cost.

Pricey generic beer. Shouldn't be paying massively over the odds for two halves. Lots of seating outside. Not much of an atmosphere but okay if you want to sit out with your dog.

It's OK. It's certainly changed from how I remember it. Nice setting though.

Always a busy pub especially when the weather is nice... food is very very good great atmosphere good place to meet with friends

Raw food. When you complain about raw chicken the staff stare and make you feel uncomfortable. It’s not what it used to be

This place is very noisy and loud. The beers are cheap. They have music at night. It's a nice place for the youths.

Disappointed with the service today. When questioning the lady behind the bar about a beer, she was rude and rolled her eyes at me. She could easily of asked if I wanted to try a tiny bit before I decided that was the one I'd had previously. Very poor service.

Good selection of beer and nice music venue.

All round very good. Food nice and hot, seemed pricey but that's standard now. Great selection of local beers. Nice beer garden, quick service. Basically very good just not quite wow.

Staff are very friendly, the outside garden is pleasant if not particularly comfortable. The food was good, although a very picky teenager couldn't eat his sandwich because they didn't listen when we asked for plain mayo and no garnish.

If u r in preston u should come here the food is amazing 👏 🤩

Great place to have a relaxing beer after a walk in park

Nice place for a meal and a beer. Good view to look at and good advise. ( Have a beer instead of walking in the park)

Not your average pub. Amazing food - not just cheap pub grub. Well thought out and beautifully executed menu. Staff lovely and friebdly.Great range of ales. Smashing atmosphere! Would give ten stars if possible.

Don't know about food,not had any but everything has has been great

Retired Hotelier Forte Hotels on family get together from Scarborough . Excellent Sunday lunch complemented with outstanding service. Great care and food definitely served with loving care. Lovely setting and garden make it near perfect....missed by Bloody Mary! Thanks everyone... hopefully will return.

Great range of real ales, lovely beer garden in a lovely location along the river.

Lovely place. Very chilled people

Close to park so handy for a drink after a walk , was going to eat but didn’t bother after seeing prices …. Ridiculous for a pub, and probably why there was no one else eating . Went elsewhere.

We went to watch County Pilots live. The only downside to our visit was the lack of a decent pint of cask bitter. The staff were very good and the atmosphere in the Boatyard was really good. The other artistes were ok too. County Pilots were excellent.

The New Continental in Preston, England, is a delightful pub conveniently located near the park. Parking was quite manageable, which made our visit stress-free. The food options were extensive and impressive. My steak was perfectly cooked and beautifully plated, making me feel like I was dining above my pay grade. My companions also thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The option to eat outside was a wonderful addition, allowing us to enjoy the pleasant weather. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience that I highly recommend.

Great selection of ales and a nice atmosphere but absolutely outrageous food prices for standard pub grub. We get the cost of living is biting but you could knock a fiver off all the prices here and be comparable with other pubs. I had the Korean chicken and it was 17 quid for a rice stir fry. Advice: drink but don't eat.

A great beer garden to sit out in when the ☀️ is shining - choose from a top selection of cask ales all reasonably priced. About a 20 minute pleasant stroll through Avenham Park to the centre of Preston.

Cancels events with very little notice, does not care about fans nor bands.

Great pub. Fabulous selection of beers, excellent location.

The food leaves a lot to be desired and it is very expensive considering the poor quality. I won't be eating there again

Only been here recently as a gig venue. It was a good room. Main bar in the pub had a good range of beers.

Great food and drinks and a fabulous service experience

A great selection of beer, both cask and keg. People I met there were also very complimentary about the food, but that's second hand info so I've not rated for that.

Lovely pub. Best beer range around. Modern beer garden. Dog friendly.

Great food, pleasant and efficient staff. (Also very nice to our dog - who is well behaved)

Absolutely fantastic and beautiful place we came to see the The Doors tribute act and they was Brilliant.. outdoor seating area is lovely clean, bar staff was nice and friendly, all good round clean pub

Love this place, live bands, good food, lovely staff, can't beat it still 🥰

Lovely food selection, price isn't so lovely. Once you taste the food, it's worth every penny. Staff are helpful, venue is quite a pain to reach.

Great venue for food, drink and entertainment.

Nice friendly service, nice atmosphere, only issue I have they should have a separate section for smokers and non smokers outside.

The perfect spot to eat lunch with a fantastic view of avenham park! Me & my boyfriend cycle here a lot and there’s plenty of space to put your bikes & sit outside . The staff are friendly and welcoming, it’s also dog friendly too and the garden is lovely. Not to mention the food is amazing 👌🏻 😃

Fish bites and chips were absolutely delicious. The outdoor seating area is perfect for a hot day. The staff are very friendly. Nice live music in here too. Highly recommend a visit.

Excellent food. Excellent service. Dog friendly. Good car park. Great bands on a regular basis in the function room.

Went for a nice walk and then a couple of drinks here. Nice atmosphere and a nice place to visit

Ate at the continental this evening and had the tomahawk steak for two which is new to the menu and I have to say what a treat for the eye's and the belly! The staff were professional as usual and the head chef even came out to us to make sure we were happy. Definitely the best restaurant in Preston hands down. Well done to Lisa and the team. 😁

Went to see Norbius Loop, the place was great lovely outside and inside spaces

Cracking place, so friendly. I'm not a drinker, and there's plenty of zero

A small group of people very much looking for trouble. Won't be going to another SKAFACE gig. The band was brilliant but the scum barging people around wasn't even noticed by the one security man.......a big mistake going to the continental that night. Could have ended very badly 😞. Get your act together continental. There must have been so many coke wraps in your rubbish bins the day after, and I really don't post reviews like this for nothing. I didn't go to your venue to be abused and pay money for the privilege. It should all be on your CCTV footage.

Great food, brilliant service, super location and magnificent company!

Went in unexpectedly, had a starter and half a pint... Food isn't cheap, but it's bloody good, and the beer selection is very interesting. Also has live music regularly. And they've got a car park, and a beer garden... bonus!

Friday lunch with a friend. We had the line caught cod and the cheesy burger. Both meals were well presented and perfectly cooked as well as being good value for generous plateful. The young server knew his stuff, and was helpful without being over the top. The room itself was spotless, warm and welcoming after we had had a long walk on a chilly day. Perfect food, lager and coffee. The Continental had great reviews and thoroughly deserved them by exceeding my expectations.

Went to see Mick Artistic lived in Preston 35years never been before, one word PERFECT thank you all for a wonderful evening 👌🏽👏

Love the Conti. Best pub in Preston. Menu changes up frequently and lots of choice of beers, ales, ciders. Has a Feb outside area too. Very GF friendly menu.

Great place to go for a concert, saw Tygers of Pan Tang here a while ago

Best pub in Preston, hands down. Great beers which are regularly updated. Absolutely top notch.

Not eaten here but believe the food is lovely and it has an amazing beer garden in the summer. Each seating area has a different vibe and it’s great!

Proper pub with a great selection of beers. Very popular when we visited today and dog friendly too!! Lovely big fire going in the back room!! Great menu and great food.

One of our favourite bars for a fantastic selection of beers with a great atmosphere and a good mix of great food.

Busy location for Sunday lunch. Good thing we booked. Food was good, great value.

Big like. Called in for a roast. Nice array of well kept cask ales complimented a wonderful roast. Nice cosy atmosphere and seems to have many tribute acts on Fridays and Saturdays. Excellent service by polite staff. Return needed

This is a cracking pub on the edge of the city centre. Great selection of beers, good food and some amazing live bands. No wonder I end up here so often 🤣

This is the best restaurant in Preston for me so far. The food is superb, the waiter is polite and not in a rush. The atmosphere is really relax and I had a good time. Definitely recommend.

Great place for gigs,will definitely go again 🎸🎹🎶🎙

Nice and spacious and at the same home homely

Great night out meeting with family for a few drinks then to enjoy the Feelgood Factor Classic Soul Xmas Party. Always a friendly atmosphere at the Continental; good, cheerful service and have always enjoyed good food there too. It amazes me the variety of events they also manage to host over the year-film,music, theatre- very impressive!

First time I’ve eaten at the continental and unfortunately it was a disappointment. Considering the price of the mains I would have expected better. Although service and the atmosphere was great the food was a let down.

Always fabulous. My favourite pub 😊

Richard served me and was hilarious and very charming, easy on the eyes too! Will come again

Great place to watch bands. Never tried the food drinks are nice plenty of choice ales. Just very pricey for the drinks like a lot of places are these days

Good beer selection and concert venue.

If you like good beer and good food this is the place to be. Not much parking when we went so plan ahead!

Fabulous place and equally fabulous staff.. Amazing food .

Really nice food and friendly staff had a long wait but nice food

Very good. Beer well kept. Food good.

Really lovely pub with loads of beers on tap. Didn't try the food. Staff were ace and quick service but prices of drinks are expensive (same everywhere really)

Enjoyable. Beef a li2pink for my liking but tasted nice

Went to go see ACDC experience it was a epic venue :D

Group meet up for beer and lunch. Great beers and food. Service really good.

Great place in a great location

If you're looking for an average boozer with a great selection of ales alongside the River. One that has a large garden for outdoor eating/socialising, this place might tick the boxes. However, the food is very ordinary and some of it is actually quite poor. This, coupled with slow service in a very dull dining area didn't make for a pleasant birthday gathering (13 in our party). We spent £27 per head with very few having 2 or more courses and most driving, so not a lot of alcohol. Caveat emptor I suppose.
