The Pear Tree Inn in South Ribble

The lady who served us had only been there less than a week, wish her well but there's no food being served at the moment and pub a bit run down.

Top pub top staff great atmosphere

Nice place to stop for a drink staff are friendly and helpful.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Was in here two weeks ago and saw a guy glass another guy. 3 feet away from me. Told the landlady and the guy was still in the pub 50 mins later. After reviewing the CCTV footage she said he'd been barred. Just walked in and I see him laughing it up with his cronies. Apparently he's a local drug dealer (although that's purely hearsay from a couple of people who were talking to me about him). Landlady told me that the guy who did the glassing was barred. When I informed her I saw him tonight she told me that she'd "received complaints about me too". Now I've never glassed anyone or been violent to anyone and I always buy the bar staff drinks so I'm not sure exactly what these "complaints" that she's so vague about are...

Great little inn, not the cheapest but nice atmosphere.

Only I can say is great service and friendly

Reviews and info are old. Doesn’t do food.

Nice pub, good beer. Bonfire night the management were allowing customers to set off fireworks in the busy beer garden. Felt too unsafe to stay any longer and won’t be going back.

Nice place, lovely staff and live music! What more can you ask for

Just had a drink. Friendly staff.

OK, a bit expensive for what you get, lost the real ale, which it is not good. I guess is good for football as lots tellys are around, but I think you need to be a liverpool fan, which I am not... Come on Bamber Bridge FC 🙌🙌🙌😉

Great little place, very friendly staff.

Awesome pub quiz on a Wednesday.

Brilliant pool lads we throughly enjoyed our game with them.

Small car park at the side. Was extremely busy due to firework display acoss the road bu lots of friendly staff available so not a long wait. Was £3.75 for pint of fosters.

Good beer. Great beer garden. Super staff

Great staff good atmosphere good local pub

Needs some TLC. Could be a gold mine. Was virtually empty yesterday afternoon . Less than 2 miles away the Hunters we had to que to try to get as its 200 seats were full. Needs investment. Staff and drinks were good.

Cannot wait for this place to reopen its door

Lovely little pub, lively but never over crowded. Pool tables the best in the area and prices are competitive overall 4/5

Ash the chef does incredible food, Helen explains all the apps and is so helpful and friendly, all staff happy to help. fab pub, recommended to all, 😁😁😁

Good company , good atmosphere, good beer, good service, great food.

Food was good, busy due to last night of 'eat out'. Disappointed by no bitter other than J Smith, noticeboard has others on but no cask available, pity.

Super, smashing, great as Jim Bowen would say

A very cosy pub, decent selection of beers and they serve food though in truth I've not had the chance to try the food as yet. A lovely pub

Fantastic Sunday roast at Pear Tree!! Food was very tasty, piping hot and great portion size! Staff are extremely friendly and fast service! 10/10 would recommend

Had a great sunday dinner, the food was heavenly all freshly cooked, the bar staff are very friendly as well as the locals

Not even worth one star! Booked in advance for five adults including my 90 year old Father and two children under 6 years old. Immediately after putting down the phone we were called back to confirm the time of our booking. We turned up promptly at 4pm on a cold wet evening to be informed that they didn’t know what time we would arrive so there was no table for us. We were told to find seats if we could between three TVs blaring out football and many inebriated customers. Never again, we would rather go hungry. It was the proprietor who took our booking, she obviously has no idea how to run a business.

Just had a lovely meal. So glad that the food has turned up a notch with the new chef. Excellent lamb shank and superb fish and chips.

I opted for the Sunday roast which looked good but the beef was tough and needed seasoning. The cottage pie and lasagne were both hits with others in the party so maybe it was just me.I’d try it again as previously had excellent food here.

Fantastic food and friendly staff

Homemade dinner with friends. Great food good atmosphere

Great place to eat, drink and mingle. Great staff and family entertainment.

Visit frequently for drinks but with a new chef and menu we decided to give the new chef (ash) try.First of all he was very accommodating for our 1year old and the food we received was amazing. From the homemade patè to the slow cooked lambshank which fell off the bone. Will definitely return to try the homemade cottage pie. Worth a visit!!

Great idea having the food tent for the fireworks 👍👍👍

Food: Goosnargh Chicken in a Tarragon Sauce with Veg. Price: £8.99 The chicken was moist and cooked just right. It is perfectly complemented with the sauce (creamy but not too heavy) and the baby veg. I shall definitely be ordering this again! The new chef, Ash, has really stepped up the food standard.

Nice little family pub friendly staff

Fab little pub... friendly and local (for me) :)

Went for Sunday dinner, all staff lovely. Vegetarian roulade was spot on. Definitely worth paying a visit.

Excellent Food great good choice Staff brill Hannah is great nothing 2 much trouble owners /managers are great friendly beer gardens lvly We can now say weve found our local after Sumpter closing found it hard to settle anywhere but Pear Tree is Excellent even punters friendly Excellent new juke box 😁😁😁UPDATE Pear Tree seen a few changes past few weeks change ov chef twice food not as good as Edelles not hot enough yorkshire puddings burnt no mash Sunday Lunch waiting time for food longer hopefully this will pick up soon Hope owner gets VK blue back in heard he wasnt Keeping an open mind at mo on Pear Tree would be nice to see Edelle bk as chef also Stuart the Manager left which is a shame.

New chef started this week so new menu coming this week. We all had Sunday lunch and my daughter is coeliac so he was very accommodating and will make gluten free Yorkshire puds next time we visit! And gf gravy! The beef was to die for as was the gammon. The veg was tasty roast potatoes crispy looking forward to what’s to come well worth a visit well done pear tree

Called in for lunch. Warm welcome from staff and great selection on menu. We chose the senior citizen (over 60) menu at £6.95 for 3 courses. At this price we expected small portions but what we were served far exceeded our expectations. The food was piping hot and served promptly not to mention delicious. Nothing was too much trouble and I defy anyone to get better value for money. We shall return! Thank you.

Great pub, great atmosphere, and always friendly bar staff, and the food is excellent, its definitely worth a visit

Just passing through what a brilliant night out

Best food I've had in a good while. Huge thank you to the chef!

Not a bad little pub. Friendly and clean

Great place, clientele make it, food was pretty good

It's a nice local pub what more is there to say the drinks are reasonably priced and the bar staff from my experience seemd very nice and helpful. The beer garden round back is pleasant and spacious with a sheltered area and open grass seating. Inside their is a pool table and both both and chair seating. Food is fine and very cheap in my opinion. Over all a nice place to go!

Booking mothers day for 2pm recieved meal 3 40 pm never again

Went to the pear tree for a mix grill just started food again and wow it was amazing best ever, staff and manageress are fantastic atmosphere was good well worth a visit

Had fish and chips. It was tasteless and soggy. Honestly think that it was the worst food we have ever had in a pub/restaurant.

Went in tonight,full of drunk people

The Pear Tree InnPrestonWorst pub meal we have EVER eaten.636081492I have just arrived home after taking the m-i-l and wifey out to eat here, and decided to look on TripAdvisor and see just what other people had said about this place in the recent past.I don’t understand where some of these reviewers have been with their comments about great meals...but OUR experience was far from any of these reviews.....Whilst waiting at the bar area to be served, I was talking with a customer who was having a drink in the bar...I was told that there were better options open to us like a Chinese takeaway or a chippy T, but I replied it couldn’t be that bad as there were a few people in the pub but he said that as it was at the junction of the main roads, people used it for a drink or 2 on the way home...(Paul Jenkins...local male)Anyway, we decided that we were going to stay & have our meal there...but....HOW WRONG WE WERE IN STAYING.....The food was not well presented on the plate, it looked anything but appetising..but we stayed and attempted to eat the meals we had ordered....after waiting some 45-50mins from order to placement....yet we were (at that time), the only people who were eating then...so what was the wait....the person behind the bar stated that the chef was new and still trialling the equipment in the kitchen, as things were a bit different to where he worked previously....Hmmmmm..the fish had “sloppy” batter on the inside coating and the steak had a seam of gristle through the centre which spoiled that, and when we asked for the bill...I pointed out to the lady who brought it to us that the food was not cooked very well and if the male who took the plates away had waited just a few minutes longer, she would have seen that all 3 meals were hardly touched...I asked if we could have the bill reduced but she refused....Would we go here again....NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS....which is a shame as we have friends living less than 100 yds away from the pub, who, when we spoke with them 2days afterwards, they told us of their own last visit to the Pear Tree.....but.... that’s for them to write their own review about....In MY opinion, you will be better off going down the road for a chippy T...or a takeaway....terrible food...terrible service.Star Inns have been written to regarding this terrible food and extremely poor customer service...

We were passing and stopped off for a drink on the way, really friendly welcome, excellent range of drinks and looking forward to going again so we can try the food.

Amazing place, very good food. Thank you

Good pub food and a great quiz night

Very friendly staff & a good selection of well kept cask ales.

A good pub quiz Wednesday evenings

Really lovely bar staff and fabulous gin cocktails x

Not a bad little pub but when you advertise 50p off fosters Strongbow john Smith's during premiership games on your Facebook page you should charge those prices false advertising is an offence

My party of 4 adults and 2 children are at the Pear Tree early evening of Monday 6th August . It took over 45 minutes for the meals to arrive. I had ordered from the Specials Board, Sweet Chilli Chicken and Rice. The chicken was very dry and tough with very little sweet chilli. I asked the waitress if I could have more Sweet Chilli as the chicken was very dry. After checking with the chef she advised they had ran out of Sweet Chilli. She did offer to change my meal but with already waiting nearly an hour for our meal and then eating on my own 1 hour after the rest of my party I declined and advised her accordingly. When my family member paid the bill we were charged the full amount for this meal. Our bill was over £93.00. When we were leaving I advised the waitress I was not happy at being charged the full amount for this meal to which she advised, “well you ate it”. What happened to good old customer service. Won’t be back. .

Friendly staff, but the deep fried burger with no salad on was possibly the worst item of pub food I've ever had the displeasure to eat!

Took my mother for her birthday food was disappointing.

Decent pub, nice garden, good food.

Although we waited a while for our food it was lovely when it came, nice thick gammon steak, my partner had the steak and caramelised onion baguette and my daughter had a salad, all very nice. The lad behind the bar was slow but I think he was new, polite though. They apologised for the wait on food but we were in no rush. There were a few young kids working around but all seemed pleasant. The lady in charge was nice and was quite chatty. Overall a good meal for about £12 a head with drinks. Will return.

Really nice food and friendly welcome....had a disabled relative with us and we as a family were made to feel extra welcome....nothing was to much for the staff

Just a quick visit as was joining the open mic night... lovely little place.

Staff are friendly and helpful. The meal we had was outstanding, compliments to the chef, will definitely be eating there again soon.

Place warm welcoming food cooked well service good

Let my dog in and were very good with him

Great family pub excellent beer and food highly recommended

People are really nice and the staff are wonderful hosts

Good food for a good price.....was a little loud for all the family

Great local pub. Allow dogs both inside and out even have doggie dinners on the menu.

Nice surroundings decent garden clean beer

Absolutely excellent no more to say when it's so good only thanks

Pleasent staff and friendly and great home made food highly recommend

Grand little place nicely decorated and promised Fine Cask Ale although the selection was disappointingly down to one! Food menu very varied with much to offer from light bites to the full deal. To be honest not much difference in portion size of light bite rump to the 8oz promise! I'd go light if I return which offers lunchtime value! Biggest problem if you're a chip connoisseur, rather limp, rather dull and informed they're home double cooked... More chips arrived but similar to initial offering. (Sort this and it's a winner). So the big picture is they cook steak really well "take mi cap off" but there's a struggle to meet the simple chip standards... must also say the home made steak and ale pie on the other hand was truly grand. I guess this one's a mixed bag. Don't let the chips put you off it may just be a moment in time but not having a selection of cask ales as promised is a tad too much to take from my point of view!

Lovely pub and freindly staff drinks are on the expense side. Would love to try the food on my next visit.

Excellent food. I had steak pie which was packed full of succulent meat. Others had the surf and turf. All food was piping hot and delicious. Would highly recommend.

I had a surprise 40th birthday party for my wife here this week. I asked them to supply a buffet for this. It was just the best night ever !! Everything was perfect ! In fact better than ! Thank you Sarah & Tim . Thank you Jake, Steph, Heather and Mike ! You were all perfect hosts. A wonderful night that has fantastic memories. Chris & Rachel.

Recently renovated, home cooked food, couple of ales, shows the football and had a pool table. It's like the perfect pub! Suitable for families to eat in the restaurant and for a beer with your mates at the other side of the pub. Good beer garden too.

Called by here recently for the first time in years. Ordered the gammon steak, which came with home cooked chips, fired egg, peas, tomato and giant onion rings. The food was hot and tasty and reasonably priced.The interior is very nice and the staff were friendly!

New menu is wonderful. Great range of food at good prices. Had a great lunch and going back this weekend for dinner. Sadly missed this weekend's great weather as they have a great beer garden. Spring/summer diet is on hold ;)

Went here for lunch last Friday and they have just brought out a new menu.Fantastic menu, unpretenious with plenty of choice.We had the 'House tapas' which is a range of starters with a free garlic bread. Brother had a really good burger topped with chilli.Good drinks range and cracking beer garden.Can't fault it, intend to make this one on our summer haunts.

Good food nice staff warm and welcoming recommend to all

A nice local pub. I've not eaten here.

Nice pub to grab a quick beer either inside or out in the beer garden in summer. Food used to be excellent here, it's now hit and miss as to whether food is being served or not as it seems to change on a weekly basis.

Great value, homemade, great staff & lovely surroundings. Would recommend highly.

Haven't visited this Pub for a number of years and knowing it has recently been refurbished 3 of us visited last night - what a disappointment as there were no Cask Ales available. The only alternatives were lagers or John Smiths Bitter! Additionally the Liverpool / Man U game was due on and a good number of people were in the Bar. Come on guys, you need to ensure that a Pub has decent beer available??!! My local is now The Fleece and I cannot recall them ever having run out of Beer, nor for that matter The Black Bull.

I visited here today with my boyfriend for some lunch! When we walked in we were quite surprised by how nice it looks! Everything was clean and modern and it had a nice atmosphere even though it was quiet! The bar staff were friendly although we did think that some of the staff let the pub down with the way that they were dressed! 1 girl looked like she had just got out of bed! We ordered starters and had the Bruschetta and the bbq ribs which were AMAZING! So good! However the mains were a bit of a let down! My hotpot was not worth the money, it was burnt around the edges and there was not much of it! Plus it was just full of chewy potatoes, I probably should of said something at the time but to be fair it did taste really good! As i said most of the staff were smily and friendly but there was more staff than customers and they were all gathered at the end of the bar near to where we sat! We couldn't really have a proper conversation as we found that we were having to shout over the staff having there own personal conversations! Plus the fact that they were probably too eager to collect our plates, we hadn't even finished eating but we could feel eyes constantly looking over at us! Under pressure! My boyfriend is a chef and he hated the fact that chefs were wandering around the bar area and serving food! It looks bad! We would eat here again but I wouldn't make it a regular thing! But the owner seems to be a lot better than the last woman that had it!

This pub has recently been renovated and looks great. The first couple of times we ate here it was fab. But...sadly...it seems they just cant get the staff. Lots of items missing off the menu and even no food service at all! Cant understand what the problem is with this pub.

Just got home from having a lovely meal at the Pear Tree pub. This is the first time we have been in since the refurbishment . Lovely surroundings with excellent food, an extensive menu it was difficult to choose. We had gammon which was fat free and cooked to perfection. Friendly staff whose service was second to none, we will be back

A superb meal, expertly cooked by a very nice young chef. All food is fresh (no frozen or microwave meal). The gammon was wonderful served by friendly and very helpful staff. Nothing was too much trouble for them.Fabulous menu, something for everyone's taste. Off there again next week.

Under new management. A fortune has been spent on doing up the Pear Tree and with a new menu and some fine ales I hope they do well. Pop in and treat yourself to what looks to be some good grub.

Visited here after the refurb which was done in May. I live locally but had never been in and found the staff lovely and helpful. Prices were very reasonable on food and wine. There were 7 of us dining and we all had different meals. Have to say everyone enjoyed so we will be back

We have been going in the peartree for years with the family for a meal or just drinks. We haven't been in since the previous landlord left. After the recent refurb we called in with our daughter and 2 year old granddaughter. We were told they dont allow children if they weren't eating but they weren't serving food for another hour. Peartrees loss. We will be going to the fleece from now on . Nice family friendly pub.

Great karaoke on a Friday night

Went last night and found the staff really friendly and the new decor is very nice. I'm afraid the food isn't good, bland and dry. Four of us had food and none of us enjoyed it. Will go back to my local but not to eat in the future
