My second home. Absolutely love this place. Cannot recommend enough.

Good beer at good prices. Excellent staff

Plenty of real ales friendly staff sky sports and bt sports plus train departure board

Good pub full of locals, lovely staff, good beer, close to the railway station - it even has a screen showung live train departures. It is a big venue and is likely to always have seating.

With a walking group, that gathered to celebrate an 80th birthday. A good selection of draught ales. A good selection of sandwiches, toasted sandwiches, and good pub menu.

Great pub good selection of beers friendly staff.

Great pub friendly, away fans where welcome 👍🏻

Nice basic pub, good selection of beers,pub food, not expensive,and occasionally a bit of a folk music session. Always visit when am in Preston.

Good range of ales. Good food at very reasonable prices.

Stopped here quickly while we changing trains in Preston - good, solid, traditional boozer a short run from the station.

We love it nice staff and all is good

Nice pub with real ales available

A quick drink before my train. Very friendly barman served me a nice cold cider. Very cosy place. Definitely go back :)

Nice pub with real ales available and very close to the train station

Shame about not serving food this week

Just had drinks Great staff Lovely atmosphere

This pub is next to preston railway station and has one of best choices of real ales on in Preston Pub can get busy weekends especially when PNE are at home This pub has tvs for sports events Clientele ranges from time of day from old locals to the younger sorts Bar staff is very polite and pub has old world feel to it when not noisy inside Saturday 24th June We again entered this brilliant preston real ale pub This pub never disappoints me with a great range of hand pumped real ales on as usual tonight This pub I must stress for a person who wants to drink real ales has to be classed as an essential visit Saturday 15th June 2024 This great preston real ale pub was again visited by us again This pub has now not changed at all from the last other visits I have reported on, and the reports are correct. There were 5 hand pumped ales on tonight, and of them, 4 were interesting well kept ales Keep up the good work

Great pub, does everything a good pub should.

£0.60p for a lime and soda, cracking deal!

Great place to watch footy and the Cruz Campo is very good

Nice pub close to train station. Has a screen with live train times on near bar. Serves food but not had any.

Same as usual,for what we do the place is perfect once a month with retirees from work.

Good selection of real ales and very reasonably priced home made food

Clean tidy..friendly staff..excellent real ales

Very kind and accommodating staff. Great place to watch football matches. Just moved to the city in February and will definitely repeat many times, despite there being dozens of pubs in city centre.

Argyle on tour ! Staying overnight in Preston after watching Argyle at Blackburn Rovers. Typical sport pub with screens everywhere showing England rugby and Arsenal v Brentford. A lot of real ale choices but none really to my taste. I had a local brew called Wainwright. After a tiring day it was good to chill out and chat to a couple of Preston fans....David and Steve....annoyingly I didn't take a piccy.....what was I thinking

Great selection of drinks served by excellent staff!

Decent for a pub near a train station

I've ignored this place for some time in favour of a bar slightly closer to the train station. It's a really lovely place with more tv's, showing various sports than I have seen for a while. Compared to other nearby bars, it's cheaper and more inviting, friendly. Give it a go, and you will be pleasantly surprised, I was.

A welcoming pub with a good selection of drinks. It soon became our favourite place while we stayed in the area! All good, 5 stars 👍

Proper boozer next to the railway station.

Great old pub. You can imagine many travellers passing the time here days gone by. Staff were cracking in particular one lass who I think was the bar manager who made a stranger very welcome. Defo go back.

Great pub, greeted well by security staff, felt welcomed immediately. Good atmosphere with reasonable prices.

Great place, although I may need to return soon than the last time I visited.. nearly 15 years ago. I'm sorry. Still good service and pleasant staff.

Great choice of ales. Surprisingly busy at 3pm on a weekday afternoon.

Excellent location, with great staff. Beer is good, perfectly served with smiling faces.

Pub near the train station in Preston, conveniently situated.

Great place for a drink photo taken just after last orders

Not long after we ordered our drinks , we were asked to drink up and leave as it was closing time . Staff were rude and only interested in getting the place close - not a welcoming atmosphere

Making only my second visit to Preston town centre. Came for a footie game at Deepdale many years ago. Popped into this CAMRA 2024 entry pub close to the railway station. So close that they have a departure board for said station. Very good value food. Visited with Madge and Jorvic. Proper and large pub with covered outdoor area to the rear. Jorvic had a pint of Stanley's 3.8% pale from Kirkby Lonsdale brewery. One of five available on handpump. Very good. Lots of TV'S. A little bit shabby in places but Madge likes it. Might be back for breakfast tomorrow!

Always very friendly and great atmosphere. Good selection of beers ales and lagers. Food is pub food at a great price

I'm coeliac and found a gf beer on draft in this pub.Enjoyed the beer and the pub.

Great place to visit a nice atmosphere staff amazing 😀😁👍

Traditional pub serving good selection of real ales which are kept to a high standard. Well worth a visit.

Very charming pub, with well kept ale and friendly people

A traditional pub with sports screens. Friendly service and a good selection of real ales in good condition.

Great real ale pub close to station.

Nice friendly pub close to train station food served till 2pm.All sports on tv pool table.

Very pleasant and friendly staff, very handy for the train station, even had tips on how to obtain cheaper train tickets by searching by station name instead of simply choosing from the first screen.

Excellent town centre pub. Friendly staff, good choice of real ale

Came here as a cheaper alternative to the bar on preston train station a great range of ales and reasonably priced

Stopped for some hearty food before long train journey home. Busy, friendly, very keenly priced, enjoyed the service and food. Great job The Old Vic

A good selection of cask /real ales. It's in close proximity to the railway station. So usually quite lively. Pub food available but cash only for this. Cards can be used for drinks etc.

The stuff is amazing! Good pints

Traditional pub with a selection real ales with prices around ,£3.30 pint. Food is avaliable at lunch times.

Good pub near the station. Got some nice food and beer selection is very good. Nice and cosy seating areas add to the experience.

One of my old favourite pubs, great beer and a proper atmosphere

Very friendly Superb location Friendly staff

Always a pleasant atmosphere, friendly bar staff, good pint.

A comfy welcoming place to wait for your train. Nice beer too and as an old person I remember the wonderful Friday nights at the duck disco upstairs.

Disgusting loos, bar man was extremely rude, not much to like tbh.

Good afternoon watching the rugby's with some friends

Good selection of beers and some top quality, cheap and cheerfull pub grub. Cauli and stilton soup was excellent.

Good pub very close to Preston Station. Six cask beers on handpump when I visited. Lots of outdoor seating most of it covered. Fairly busy 4 hours before the Spurs game at Deepdale.

If you want a good pint with plenty of choice this is the place to go.

Nice old fashioned pub. Cheap but good sandwiches. Great to meet the ladies there

Great staff ,great crowd and always the best pint in town,despite the recent rail strikes, still smiling and great customer service 👍🏻
