The Grapes Inn in Preston

Really good, with excellent service, attention and warm reception marred by a couple of minor niggles. We visited here on a Friday about 5 pm. The bar was busy and the restaurant filling up. Really good food. One of us a vegetarian was a bit stuck for choice as on the last visits had the mushroom stroganoff, despite being good it would be good to have other options other than cheese and onion pie. Agree not many veg on offer. The biggest niggle was the really annoying children running around in 5he dining room. Whereas I appreciate it isn’t the fault of the pub, the parents should be told to control them. It will affect if we return

Nice selection of beers and food not bad either!

a group of 18 of us camping at the sports club went for a meal last night of our stay, had a great time all food arrived promptly large selection all excellent though the pies deserve special mention , nice deserts lovely ale and very reasonable prices , only regret we didn’t discover it till last night of our stay

Great atmosphere. Warm and friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for us. Even though it was a super busy Sunday we were looked after. The food is divine. You need to make sure you have room for three courses as they are delicious. Super homely and good food with proper portions. Thank you 🙏

Visited for lunch today and was hugely impressed with everything! The warm and friendly welcome, the stunning and traditional pub decor and general atmosphere, just what you wish for when you need that traditional pub feel of old, but with a dash of modernness without making it feel awkward. Now then…. The food….in a nutshell…. AMAZING! 👏👏 👏😃👏👏👏 I had Haddock and chips and my companion had the mushroom stroganoff. Talk about fresh and flavoursome! Honestly, this was the best pub food I can ever remember having and my companion said exactly the same. Huge compliments to the chef, to be honest I was blown away by how good today’s visit was. The staff are an absolute credit to the business, always happy to help, cheerful, attentive, polite and friendly, even when it started getting busy. I will most definitely be returning, you have now achieved the accolade of “my favourite pub”. Please keep doing what you’re doing, you’re doing an exceptional job and I will continue to support you for as long as I hope to! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely setting, good service, good Sunday choice of food, good value. Slight negative, amount of accompanying vegetables was poor. One small dish for 4 people.

Lovely place. Good home cooked food. Clean and tidy. Fish and chips large was a mega portion. Baguettes are generously filled . They accommodated our young boy as he wanted a cheese sandwich and it wasn’t on the menu. Will definitely visit again as there is more food I want to try! Only criticism is that they had a large party booked in and only 2 staff on so service slowed the longer we were there.

Top marks 10/10 passed last Sunday lunch hadn’t booked but called in and to see if I could have a table for 3 which they confirmed they could. Staff was so welcoming and friendly we had Sunday roasts of the fixed 2 or 3 course menu. Food arrived shortly after ordering all home cooked generous portions and tasted delicious followed by puddings which again was delicious. We all said we will be make the grapes a regular place to go for food we was unable to fault anything. Perfect meal, good portions size and sensible prices. Extra marks deserved for all the staff from the gentleman behind the bar who met us on arrival and found us a table to the older waitress who was so pleasant and the couple of younger girls who served us pudding you was all amazing thanks see you soon

The Grapes has now reopened and the food is top quality. The roast beef baguette was the best the wife has tasted and came with a pot of very tasty gravy, I had the black pudding stack with mustard sauce (starter) there is a good choice of drinks and after submitting this review I will be going there for some lunch.

Lovely Sunday lunch today, huge portion and very very tasty. Very attentive staff, cant wait to go again.

Was seated at 1210, pub was steady but wouldn't say packed. 15 mins later we managed to be asked for our order. So 1225...... Food arrived at 1322 with zero apologies for how late it was. One of our party left as went to the bar to ask where the food was and was left stood there being ignored for nigh on ten mins. I get that locals would always be chatted too, but talking about how Linda was whilst blanking everyone else at the bar was just poor. An hour for Gammon and chips is really poor. Won't be returning anytime soon And if the management are reading this, the chap taking the orders needs to work on his attitude. Awful all round

Beautiful food, we had steak pie and roast beef, perfect apart from roast potatoes were white and not crispy xx

We went in yesterday lunchtime and spoke with the staff. The pub/restaurant has been reopened about 3 months, there is a comprehensive menu and the roast beef baguette the wife had was the best she has ever had. The people eating were very complimentary about everything else. The staff were very welcoming and we will be going back today for lunch, well worth a visit.

Wow! What a transformation this lovely pub has undergone this year, finally in the hands of someone who understands what people want from their local. Fabulous food that is fresh, well cooked, fairly priced and served by smart and friendly staff. The pub was clean and offered a good selection of drinks. Wishing them all the success for the future and they definitely have our support.

Great meal and fantastic service from the staff. Cosy interior. Highly recommended

Excellent food very generous portions good atmosphere but the one thing that let the whole experience down was how cold it was. There are 2 log burners that weren't on this would have made a big difference.

Visited with family on Sunday 9 September. The Sunday Roast was fabulous. Great value, great food and lovely helpful staff within a lovely relaxed atmosphere. We will be back 😀

First time here, brilliant food, flavours, service excellent, will be back, not to be missed

A fabulous family Sunday lunch here today - delicious, home cooked food; such a relaxed atmosphere and really friendly staff. It’s great to have this place up and running again. We will be back - lots!

Food is great atmosphere friendly service great Paul is a great chef you get a lot to eat well worth a try Peter

Came in for lunch after a walk. Food was really good and the staff were super friendly. Definitely worth a visit

Been to the Grapes Inn to day after fishing at the Barnsfold fishing the Man at the bar was really nice the locals all spoke to us about football & fishing they were all good people. Gary 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

Thank you Wendy for looking after our boys so well! Lovely pub, very cosy with the fire. A good pint poured for the husband and yummy food. Kids menu great value fot money. Thanks for having us!

We were staying in the area on holiday and decided to pop in for an evening meal as a family, the service was incredible and the food was delicious. We will definitely be returning next time we’re in the area!!

The staff claimed they couldn't serve us for well over an hour despite a number of empty tables. When I checked the website they could easily accommodate us within a few minutes.

Service with a smile . We called in for a late lunch on the afternoon while passing through . Even though the place looked busy we was greeted by a girl called Meg on arrival who showed us to a table and advised us on ordering . The bar was quick service and food came out within cooking time . Meg came over during our meal and asked how things was and even tried to tempt us to some puddings Well done Meg ☺️

Pizza was burnt, paper on the kebab with no apologies, salad on kebab when asked for no salad, food took ages waited about 1 hour, would not recommend .

Went in for Sunday lunch, outstanding plate of food at a great price. Glad to see it open again.

Lovely food and great atmosphere.

What a blessed relief to find our village pub in capable hands. Superb food and service. Sunday roast pork with all the trimmings was flavourful, hot and beautifully seasoned. My plate was empty at the end. Left feeling satisfied and wanting to book again to sample a midweek menu. Looking forward to returning very soon. Well done Goosnargh Grapes 😋

We booked a table for food. Nice to see the pub busy but there was only one girl holding the fort, running the bar, taking out meals, collecting plates etc. This meant the service was extremely slow and certainly wasn’t with a smile. The food arrived after 40 mins or so and it was mediocre pub grub. The fish was over cooked and the gammon was wet (needed to be rested) which meant the whole plate was swimming! Think they need to employ more staff front of house and someone with more cookery skills in the kitchen. Better off at the Stags.

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch here, seated straight away, really friendly staff looking forward to visiting again soon.

Just inedible frozen blurgh. Reminiscent of school dinners. Feel sorry for the staff having to serve it. Won’t make that mistake again.

Came with my partner for meal. I've had mixed grill and add peppercorn sauce and partner had gammon, both pineapple and eggs. Arrive pipe hot and very good portins! Just beautiful 😋 . Good value and plenty good choice of meuns! Definitely be coming back again!

Friendly, family run rural pub with great choice of drinks and extensive menu, also for kids.

Great little country pub,friendly atmosphere and staff .

After a previous good experience we decided to visit again. OMG what an awful experience. We were sat down straight away as they were quiet. Service was shocking, but we made allowances as the young girl seemed to be new. We waited about 40 minutes for our starter, it was basic at best. When the main course came, the chips were soggy and border line raw. My Corn was cold and peas like bullets. No onion rings as stated on the menu. We were asked how it was and gave out honest feedback. At this point I was told I wouldn’t get a refund as I had eaten the meat from the Ribs !! I hadn’t even asked for a discount even thought the food was disgusting. I have never been spoken to like this in a restaurant, it was beyond belief. Needless to say we will not return !!

Good food nice outdoor seating area good service

What a transformation! Wow! Absolutely amazing! Brilliant food,drinks selection and friendly welcoming staff! Absolute gem of a pub!

Friendly service, good quality beer, lovely garden.

Visited the Grapes to day for lunch with family. Our party had the rump steaks, my wife had the barbecue chicken and I had the Stilton and mushroom burger. Everyone found the quality and taste of our food to be superb! The waitress who served us was excellent and couldn’t do enough. A perfect example of waitressing perfection. We will definitely be returning soon. Highly recommended.

Nice pub in Goosnargh Village. Wide range of beers and real ales, good reasonably priced food, friendly staff, dog friendly 🐶... Nothing not to like. Recommended 👍

At last the Grapes is fully open & serving great food. They have the menu spot on & our food was delicious. Staff helpful & friendly

Lovely Friendly staff Dogs allowed Lovely atmosphere

Called in yesterday for a couple of drinks with my wife and friend yesterday. Only stayed for the one drink. £15.20p for a pint of pendle ale, pint of cider and a vodka and coke. I would call that a bit on the steep side. Don`t think we will bother again. Stay with drinking in the micro pub when we are up there.

Unfair to review properly as I believe 31dec23 was the last day it was open. Best wishes to the landlord / landlady for the future.

We popped into The Grapes in November for lunch, the main door was locked even though it was past the opening time. Eventually after knocking someone let us in. We sat at a table which was sticky and had crumbs on the seating and floor area. The dining area looked like it had not been cleaned from the night before, or a very long time. We had one drink and in that time there were no other customers, due to the lack of cleanliness we decided to leave and eat elsewhere. The next time we visited was around Christmas, once again the pub was empty, we had one drink and left, it all felt really run down and sad. I have visited this pub off and on for over forty years and sadly it has been run into the ground. The smell of drains hits you in the face on entry, the decor and interior are outdated and worn out, it’s dirty and uncomfortable. This pub is in the heart of the village and should be thriving and making a good trade especially as there a few new housing estates being built in the area. I hope this pub gets the renovation it’s crying out for and becomes the goldmine it could be.

The Grapes is a friendly pub next door to Bushell House, a Grade 2 listed Georgian building. My favourite real ale was available. It was well kept and in perfect condition. The young bar man was brilliant and a credit to the pub! We enjoyed it so much, we returned later on and just caught last orders. I will visit again!

Proper country pub. Quiet weeknight pint.

A massive thank you to Nicola and team for looking after the Hutch family so amazingly well at a small family gathering after my Dad's funeral. All of the family really appreciated the great service, loved the pub and can't wait to return.

Really quaint and lovely welcoming staff 👌

We haveJust been for sunday lunch we had excellent food . Friendly staff also,we will be going back to this gem of a place soon.

Lovely pub nice staff good food

Nice rural pub inside and out. Very pleasant landlady. Was very quiet on our visit Friday lunchtime. Not a large varied menu, but very reasonable prices. One fish and chips great chips. Mine 10 oz gammon and chips. Gammon was two slices not a piece which wasn't as juicy as a single piece. Superb cask beer.

Food and drink was excellent and service was too. Beer garden is good, plenty to do for children. Will definitely go back.

Friendly helpful staff, lovely food and nice surroundings. Will be visiting here again soon..

Excellent pub, very relaxed. Chip butty with my beer was excellent. Beer was good though limited on range. No porter today. Enjoy. S

Excellent pub. V well run. Bell practice at the beautiful church wore on a bit unfortunately. Not the pubs fault but couldn't barely hear .

Cracking country pub with great food, really excellent. Fantastic beers (especially the plum porter which is amazing), a really nice, dog friendly pub.

We arrived for lunch, staff straight away extremely attentive and friendly! My grandma ordered the homemade leek, cheese and potato pie, she said it was beautiful and she would have it again! I had the duck bon bobs, salt and pepper chicken, chips and onion rings, all I can say is wow! Absolutely stunning food all round! It was a lovely day so we sat in the garden at the back, tons of space for family’s or to bring the kiddies! All round a lovely experience and we will be back!

Wow! Don't know where to start! Legendary pub! Set in a beautiful area beautiful beer garden and plenty of space for the kids to run and kick a ball! The booze selection is incredible and the food! I can honestly say I've never eaten food like it! Outstanding service food was insane! The duck bon bons 😍 5 star a must go to!

My partner and I visited on Saturday night. We were warmly welcomed offered drinks on arrival. We decided on a few smaller dishes and a pizza to share - it was absolutely divine!! Highly recommend the Duck Bon Bons, Honey Chipolatas, Salt and Pepper Chicken from the small plates, for the pizza we had the Taj Mahal and just wow! Special shout out to the Chees-O’s which were insane! Highly recommend.

Very friendly welcome - good food

Good, very friendly pub.and you can rake your dog to

Nice place to eat and drink, seems to have a nice atmosphere and decent patrons. Been a few times to eat and have a drink and it's always been a great experience.

Amazing food today, we eat out a lot and this place didn’t disappoint, we received such a warm, friendly welcome by the lovely landlady Nic, they even had a bouncy castle out back for any kiddies, we will definitely be back and would highly recommend....

A more friendly Pub you couldn't wish to find. The Landlord & Landlady, do everything in their power so's you enjoy whatever it is your there to savour, whether it be a Pint ( Which are all immaculately kept) Food, which is definitely delicious, or a Chat, there's always a friendly soul there. Can't say enough about how good you're looked after. Hat's off to the Whole Team. !!

Part of a Christening event at the Grapes, must say that we were impressed with the service and the attitude of the staff, very good.
