The Gables Public House in South Ribble

Wouldn’t waste your time all you need to do is go look at the kitchen absolutely disgusting , got food posing , was I’ll as hell , hunters chicken was still pink in the middle and the peas was still frozen , staff are rude and disrespectful absolutely horrendous I’ve spoke to many people who have said they had similar experiences all you need to do is ask people in Leyland what they think of the food

Great dog friendly pub xxx Love to call in for a pint when out for a walk 11👍

Called in for a light lunch the other day. Had the Stilton and Garlic mushrooms which was excellent. Great real ale too.

Absolutely loved the place! Food spot on and delicious, The staff working were so bubbly and friendly, smiles all round from all the staff!! 100% from me! See you next time I’m passing xx

Can not believe the management here, today Leyland main road has been closed off for a event, not only are the mangers no where to be seen again (always the same main events in Leyland) they have left 3 staff on to serve and collect, not only is there really unfair on the staff I have had to que 20mins for drink twice…lazy poor management…either help the staff out or put more staff on… I asked the staff when I finally got servers where are the managers and they said upstairs…but didn’t want to ring them!!

Lovley food! Lovley atmosphere and John the member of staff went above and beyond. Would definitelyrecommend! My partner had the mixed grill and I had the cheeseand bacon burger. Were now both in a food coma!

The bar man John was particularly helpful and very kind and friendly. Had a great meal and drinks. Highly recommended

We performed at the Gables and had a really good gig. All of the staff were very friendly and had a really good atmosphere. Would recommend for live music as both a performer and as an audience. Good vibes and good times.

Didn't eat here, great night out with a brilliant guitarist playing

Awful, overcooked, oil leaking, battered fish (battered boot more like) - insult to injury was the tablespoon of peas and store bought tartar sauce. Asked the server when she came over if it is normally done like this, she said that it was and the chef makes the batter themselves and it is a bit dense. If a chef is happy to send out this then they are not worthy of wearing a chefs jacket, it was inedible.

Lovely little local pub reasonable prices great food and great beer can't complain

Polite staff & great atmosphere. Will definitely be visiting again 👍

I have been coming in here for a number of years now and I feel so welcome every time. The staff are amazing, you can have a laugh and the price of food and drinks are very competitive. I would absolutely recommend the food for adults aswel as children, my kids love going to the gables for dinner.

The Gables is on our doorstep so when wanting a quick pub lunch it’s ideal. Lovely food & quick service

Lovely pub situated in the heart of leyland with a lovely beer garden out front, great range of beers and spirits avaialble and great quality food with a family and pet friendly atmosphere

The food is amazing and the staff are really friendly and at night on the weekends they have live music u can get along with everyone.

The food is amazing staff are extremely friendly and polite would highly recommend amazing atmosphere at night especially the live singers

This place is the heart and soul of leyland, food, drinks, and dealing with festival events incrediblely well, The handsome chap with the glasses is a credit to the place

Amazing friendly environment! Staff are great with welcoming faces all round, big smiles. Food was spot on for value and is in a perfect location. Close to town amendments for if you just fancy a quick brunch whilst on your shopping trip. 10/10 highly recommended.

Really nice food and atmosphere. Lovely staff

Great place all round☺️great food, excellent service and always the best atmosphere! Love going there.

Came to gables with my partner to have some drinks and was surprised at the selection of drinks they had. We were greeted by a polite and attentive man called Tom who suggested the best drinks for me. Excellent

Amazing food and drink and great costomer service very friendly staff

I visited the gables yesterday and the staff couldn’t of been more helpful if they tried. I would recommend this pub to anyone the food is outstanding and the service is just on point.

Stopped off for a relaxing snack and drink! This place is a real gem. Staff were polite, chatty and conscientious.. Food fresh and sooo tasty.. ( lots to choose from too ) my favourite on draft, along with several other beers, ales and lager ... Looking forward for next visit ! Thanks to you all xx

Absolutely fantastic! Firstly a really nice atmosphere and greeted by fantastic staff! Lovely and clean and the food is brilliant! Well worth a visit! Oh and top entertainment at the weekend! Plus all the sports channels! I could live here!

Great little pub in the heart of leyland. Staff are all lovely was served by a lad called Arron on a few occasions and he’s a credit to the team there at the gables. Food is amazing compliments to the chef and overall atmosphere is spot on.

Always a great friendly atmosphere and brilliant food

Nipped in for some lunch between clients. The old mout on draft here is always 👌🏼 I ordered the hunters chicken burger with chicken loaded fries, a nice addition to the new menu. Quick service, food was on my table in 10 minutes & everything tasted fresh. En route to my next appt with time to spare, will definitely be in for lunch again.

Had a wonderful meal at the gables food was yummy service was brilliant drinks were gtreat too give them 5 stars

Popped in for a quick visit, lovely place will very likely be back again with family.

Very disappointed on this visit. Booked a table for my dad's 70th. There was 12 of us and 3 of us ordered starters which took about 45 mins to arrive. We then had to wait a further hour or more for the mains but by this time everyone had enough. There was no one else in the restaurant ordering so no excuse to wait that long and when they brought the first 2 dishes out the chips was stone cold. Was not happy at all and we all walked out. The table was ordered well in advance. There was 4 children part of the party who was very tired and hungry. Ended up having a McDonald's and my dad had nothing due to being so annoyed and angry as all he wanted was a family meal for his 70th. Will never go there again

We went for Sunday roast but it wasn't on for some reason unexplained, and ended up having some soulless microwave/fryer gash, delish 😋 thanks chef x

First visit to The Gables to try the new menu, ordered the southern fried chicken burger and upgraded to loaded chips which was an absolute delight.. Food excellent, Service excellent & great atmosphere!! 100% will be going back.

If I could give this review a No star I would do, soup cold mushrooms disgusting, the main meal took 45 minutes chips cold, egg under cooked, totally couldn’t eat it a waisted £45.50 it’s a Disgrace. When the girl came asked was everything ok I told her no, all she could up with the cook should of put the dinner on early. The pub was empty so no excuses he was busy !!!

Drinks are expensive might need to take a loan out the bank for this one

Nice place but dogs and food is a no no. The foul language from some was disgusting and staff ignored it.

Always a good atmosphere and a good mainstream pint.

You should be ashamed of the way you just handled Christmas dinner, charging 4 adults and 1 child £270 for what we just experienced was an absolute disgrace. The manager of the pub should have been going round apologising, not burying their head in the sand like they did and leaving it to 2 bar staff and 1 waiter to pick up the pieces whilst they are also having to work overtime on Christmas day. The food was not nice, and the adults' food arrived before my 6 year old nephews food. To top it all off, they overcharged us when we paid. Worst service I've ever received, my sister had items missing from her plate, and a man the next table over didn't even get any roast potatoes. Honestly, awful. My sister didn't even eat hers.

Absolutely shocking and unacceptable since everything was preordered and timeslots given in advance. This Christmas meal wasn’t worth £20 pp never mind £60. The staff was working there little socks of while management just watched everything go wrong and did nothing but buried their head. This is the first Christmas Day meal me and my family have ever eaten out and it is the last. The management at this establishment have seriously put a black mark on there business from everyone that had the misfortune of thinking of booking here today. Even my 6year old grandson said it was the worst he has ever had. Over 3 hours to be served a 3course meal with items like veg and potatoes (all from frozen)missing frommany plates. I can not stress enough the lack of some form of humanity from management. Unbelievable the worst I’ve ever encountered. Not once did you come and apologise to customers who you could clearly see was not happy it was like we wasn’t there. The young boy coming out with all the plates was a trooper though you seemed to talk down to him. ( He was the only person we gave a tip to) ohh and to top it off I got overcharged by £10.00. Will be paying once last visit to the place for that.

Ohhh dear, what has happened? After previous visits earlier in the year, when the food was excellent we decided to go for end of week treat meal. The pub was virtually empty when we arrived, although tables were set up for a Christmas booking,even though the pub was empty we were left waiting at the bar to be served. Waited 45mins for a meal which was totally disappointing. Very, very greasy fish, teaspoon of cold peas and cold chips. Bread and butter ordered but never appeared. Didn't raise issues as the Christmas party booking had arrived, and what staff there was seemed rather stressed. Sadly on this experience we won't be returning.

Really lively pub good atmosphere!

Busy early Saturday evening. Decorations for Halloween impressive. Lovely boisterous atmosphere. Rugby on large screens with live boxing later.

Refurbished great job good to see the pool table back in

A crowd of us met at the Gables for a reunion. Very busy friendly pub, lovely staff and very very loud music

Lack of management around when busy, kids are working hard behind the bar but lacks organisation and leadership, shame when it works well it’s a good pub and food is also quite good just lacks managers presence especially when events are on in Leyland and when very busy.

Been here before and food was great. Menu not as good as it used to be. Got fish instead of lasagne. Also waited about an hour for the food

Under new management. Catering to a different crowd these days. Karaoke etc at weekends. I don't go in that often but all reports are it's livelier than it used to be.

Very disappointed went for a starter and sandwich due to hot weather to be told that the pub doesn’t do sandwiches at weekends ended up with a breakfast because we didn’t find anything else we fancied on the menu at 12pm and it was such a shame as with our original order if they had done it as requested they would have made more money considering we was the only customers in at the time !!!

Not for me, not a great choice of cider,

Great place nice food welcoming staff all in all a nice place

Great place to enjoy a night out with friends. Great atmosphere, the staff are lovely, and the DJ at the weekend is brilliant!

Had a good girly meet up lovely atmosphere x

Brilliant atmosphere, everyone so friendly as I don't live up that way. Food look fantastic. Will try next time up that way

Good pub dog freindly good beer good food

Great staff, reasonable prices, just been in for food it was very good happy staff great atmosphere, also dog friendly, without asking, a kind member of staff brought a bowl of water over to us, made a fuss of of my dog made her feel welcome, now when we walk past on a walk she tries to pull me in to the gables lol, So A*** from my dog too

Lovely accommodating friendly staff and fab food. Fantastic day celebrating Ascot with friends.

Always great staff, quick and helpful. Clean facilities, and polite. Dog friendly too!

Got to the pub, busy and bustling on a sunny Saturday evening (7:45pm). We were in Leyland visiting a friend who had said it was a good place for food and beer. Got in and found a table in the window, that seated the 6 of us. Other half was off to the bar to get drinks and we were about to look at menus when a quite cantankerous guy approached us and told us we had to leave as no kids were allowed in after 8pm. Thankfully the other half hadn’t quite got served with drinks due it being busy, although the bar seemed to be getting through waiting customers well. No signs visible that we saw stating this and the website says food until 9pm, and there’s a kids menu on the table, so we were a little bit surprised by this. Will try to be earlier next time we are over but disappointed at how abrupt the guy was, as well as dealing with 3 hungry kids, not to mention 3 thirsty adults. Better luck for us next time?

Called in for a drink with family, food looked great

Nice pub with great staff and locals and beer

Possibly the worst Sunday dinner I've ever had cold potatoes, carrots, beans and Yorkshire pudding straight from the freezer and extremely over priced , they seem to think it's OK if they say sorry enough times. Just stay away it really is bad

Atmosphere average, prices high. Decor ok, toilets decent. Plenty of seats but music volume too low during day. Up or off, just annoying. Service 2/5.

Smashing place for food and drink. The servers and bar staff are top notch. Especially lennon who always has a chat whenever I pop in

Nice place , food good, staff pleasant

Only the 2 stars as the pub is very clean and nicely decorated. The downfall is the rude member of staff trying to move us off a "reserved" table. (No reserved sign to be seen) Even though we had been sat there for 2 hours spending a decent amount of money on food and drink in the pub. I don't think the glares across the bar were necessary, safe to say we won't be returning.

Only nipped in but was nice and the beer wasn't too expensive

Food good but could have a better choice of beers more often

Clean and tidy and nice happy staff wainwrights is on and it's my beer so hands off will be in soon.

Friendly enough staff. The food was good but a little pricey.

First visit in some time and first since the refurbishment. The alterations have been tastefully done and created more open space without adversely affecting the atmosphere. It was, however, disappointing that no cask ales were available. It appears that there are normally 2 on offer but the pumps were not in operation. There always used to be an excellent, varied choice of cask ales here and it would be good if this choice were reinstated. As it is, for me personally, John Smiths bland, pasteurised keg would not encourage me to be a regular visitor.

It's most definitely improved with the new owners and its lovely to see the bar healthy and thriving. Everyone seemed to be have a good time but the entertainment wasn't to my liking.. but its live music and everyone loves a bit of live music 💕

Nice place, since the renovation only heard good reports

Nice pub, lively atmosphere, really enjoyed it.

Food was amazing, great roast dinner, friendly staff and atmosphere

Bit of a locals pub, no food when we went there staff were polite and friendly

Great local pub but the management need to stop people smoking in the doorway. Not every one likes secondary smoke when you come in or leave.

Hi, I wrote a bad review a couple of years ago…..now new owners and the staff are far far better than the previous lot. Miles better, beer is good and great atmosphere. Keep up the good work. 5 Stars ⭐️ 😊

Booked a table for 13 for Xmas dinner and it was absolutely shocking!!! To say we paid £750 with out drinks!!! We got there our table wasn’t ready for another half an hour so got told to go to the bar and they was not beer left apart from spirits!!! Finally sat down then they come over to us to repeat our orders and half of it was wrong!!! Now onto the actual meal, shocking!!!! The soup was the best part of it but then when they brought our main out, my beef looked like the sliced stuff out of the fridge, the roast potatoes was new potatoes over done. My daughter ordered Mac and cheese then it come out with no cheeses sauce it just looked like mash!!!! Not one member of staff come over to us to apologise or offered to knock anything off the bill!!! Half of us didn’t even get our desert and the ones who did them in card board boxes because they said they was closing soon. It was that bad we are having Xmas dinner at home today. We will never step foot back in that place again!!! A phone call or some sort of apology would have been nice but we got nothing!!! 0/10

Friendly staff and decent menu reasonably priced.

Really lovely food and service. Beautiful pub. Will go back :)
