The Plough in Preston

We called yesterday for Sunday Lunch, it was nice apart from cold broccoli, it tasted like it had just been sat in cold water and not cooked. I advised the waitress and to be fair she did offer to bring more broccoli. Not sure we would return.

Had a good meal at the Plough !.

Me - so so 🫤 Starters - Haggis & Black pudding served with poached egg, topped with streaky bacon & whole grain mustard. Pub favourites Brenda Andersons Cumberland sausage whirl served on a bed of traditional Irish Colcannon mash potato, topped with caramelised red onions, garden pea & our homemade gravy. Pint of Birra moretti

The food, was simply amazing, would happily eat here again!

Had a great meal, great quality at a reasonable price.

Great staff beautiful bar staff and waitresses

First time visit lovely relaxed place well worth a visit

An excellent roast lunch with fast service. Just what we wanted!

We called here on the last minute and wondered what it was going to be like, nicely suprised lovely waitress,the food we had was good,they have a nice beer garden at the side of the pub.

Good menu choice Good quality food Great service Excellent

First time visiting this pub, and what a great surprise. Great service, and homley pub. We all really enjoyed the food and would have no problem recommending it. We will be visiting this pub again soon.

Brand new beer garden. Great place for the family

We re-visited the Plough after about 5 years. The last time it seemed to be expensive but after lockdown & expecting it be the same the prices are very reasonable. The food we selected from the Chef Specials menu was Amazing. Spring Roll & Garlic Cheese mushrooms for two starters followed by a double cheese burger with bacon which was so filling!. My wife had the Buttermilk Chicken Burger, which she said was cooked to perfection. Then for sweet I had home-made Lemon cheescake which was one of the best I've ever tasted. I The staff were very friendly & helpfull. t won't be another five years before we visit again. It's always a good sign when we left the place that the tables were filling up. We arrived at around 5pm on a Saturday afternoon.It's worth a drive to & can easily be found off the M6 at juction 31a. We visited again on Saturday 13th July. Once again the food was amazing at a great price. The specials on the day were Mexican so I went for the beef burger. That was topped with pulled pork. #Incredible.

Several people in the place watching the rugby 🏉 then because two locals asked for the golf to be shown they turned it over dispite more people wanting to watch the rugby. Very disappointed 😞

I had an interview there today and it went amazingly, i was greeted by a staff member who offered me a beverage and showed me my table. The owner was great, the communication and the focus of the conversation made it feel very comfortable. Very pleased !!!

Toilets were clean -but the walls in the bar need a repaint badly -food was good -mussels we're different in that the sauce was a mild curry taste not the usual white wine ,shallot ,cream. Steak and ale pie was lovely, too. Shame bar staff don't know a pint of bitter shandy from a pint of bitter !!! July 2924 update -staff aren't great - brought food - we had no cutlery-had to rob off another table - tgen asked if we wanted any extra sauces with the food ?yes plz -some ketchup plz -promptly went serving behind the bar before returning 10 mins later with the ketchup !! Ordered a glass of tap water with the main drinks order ?had to ask for that again ! Food was OK-over cooked fish and chips?so eobg be bothering again ! Wouldn't mind if it was busy ?but it wasn't!!

Wonderful food, tasty, and great value. The lunch menu was great, and the dishes we chose after some deliberation didn't disappoint. The only downside was that we cleared our plates. Superb quality food and the staff professional, friendly and helpful. A brilliant pub to visit and also dog friendly. 5 stars and a great venue to visit.

Nice fresh home cooked food,and desserts couldnt fault it

Loved it from start to finish. Food tasty and portions big. Will be back

First the good, the wine was quite palatable and staff quite friendly. Now the rest. It's just a pub that sells mediocre food. They don't have a wine list to view but they'll read it to you, minus prices, so customers could be in for a surprise, at £7.50 a glass. We waited over 30 mins for food even though the pub wasn't that busy, & when it came it had clearly been sitting as it was only just warm enough to eat. Tasteless stroganoff & tough gammon. Not a place to return to.

*EDIT* Fantastic place with a family friendly atmosphere and play area in the garden. Drinks are priced slightly above average and I believe this is due to location, but this is countered by their food which is well priced for the quality. Staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. * not sure if just having a bad day but waitress with red hair was extremely unpleasant and had a "I don't want to be here attitude". Removed star from rating as this made us feel unwanted at the restaurant*

Nice pub on the main road car park and able to sit outside

Not been to the Plough before, but will definitely come again. My husband and I had the best meals served by the friendliest of staff. I had the duck and the chef cooked it exactly as I requested it and it was delicious. Would give more than 5 stars if I could

Moved into Longridge area 8 months ago and we were looking for a local pub to have Sunday lunches, etc. Drove past the plough for many months and after hearing great reviews, we decided to book for Sunday lunch last week end. Needless to say, we were pleasantly surprised. The staff and atmosphere was great and the food....well better pub food we've not had in 8 months! Sunday lunch we could have regular or go large. We went large for £2 per meal more. Well, we could hardly finish the plate. The beef was so tender, it just gently pulled apart with no effort at all. Melt in the mouth. Vegies were perfectly done and biggest yorkshire we've seen. Asked for extra gravy and it was service with a smile. Highly recommended and will definitely go back with the family.

Fantastic food, serving 9 of us with ease

Lovely, cosy and friendly atmosphere. We held our father's wake here and the staff couldn't do enough for us. Very well organised, food was lovely and when we asked for more food to be made available they went above and beyond for us. Can't fault The Plough in anyway. The outdoor area is coming along nicely and will be a fantastic welcomed addition for those sunny days. Thank you to you all 😊

Good was lovely, staff was nice & friendly, & very helpful & overall a very nice atmosphere 😀

Came for a meal with family mid week, my husband and I had just come back from our honeymoon and my brother who had come home from Saudi to be at the wedding wanted a family gathering before he jetted off back. The the pub was quite quiet so you'd think they would be glad of the custom really. There was 18 of us so a fair bit of income for the pub. All eating 3 course meal and drinks. When we arrived at 6.30pm we were still waiting for 6 people to arrive, we all got drinks while we waited but the staff were getting impatient wanting to take out order. Order was placed once they arrived and the food came out pretty quickly and we all enjoyed the food apart from my nan who was disappointed with her meal as she had got hardly any chicken on her meal compared with the other two people who ordered the same thing. After we finished we ordered desserts and 5 of us wanted coffee with the dessert but we were told the coffee machine had been turned off..why they couldn't have turned it back on I don't know. My nan even said she would be happy with an instant coffee but they refused to make her one. After dessert we all still had pretty much a full drink left but staff came over and told us they were closing in 10 mins so we needed to hurry up and leave! The whole time we were there we felt like they didn't want us there and felt very rushed in and out. We spent hundreds of pounds between all 18 of us that night. The food was good but the service let it down. We won't be rushing back for a family meal again just because of the service. Clearly they were setting up for a funeral the next day but that shouldn't be a reason to give a booking the day before a poor experience.

Absolutely wonderful. Charming landlord and lovely staff. Food magnificent, mixed grill for me. Real ale too with a tremendous Porter. We come all the way from St. Helens, well worth it 🤠❤️

Great visit. Staff very helpful. Manager very attentive, we were looked after by him and the other girl working. Lovely warm fires. Very tasty home-made food. Coffees and desserts topped off a lovely Thursday evening business meal.

Called a few times just for a drink and ate in the beer garden a few times last year. This is a really welcoming pub with friendly engaging staff. The fires were lit and everywhere was spotless. We will be eating on our next visit. All food served looked well prepared and inviting.

Five star 🌟 new manager is very personable it’s our local and the Sunday roast is great!

Lovely meal,staff very friendly and helpful.

Visited the Plough today for a funeral wake and very impressed by the buffet which was well presented and tasty with a lovely selection to choose from. Also the friendly and welcoming atmosphere which is particularly important and appreciated on what is inevitably a solemn occasion.

Amazing atmosphere, food and service

Food was fine, not great but fine. Used to be of a higher standard, more comparable to chain pub level food now.

Excellent homemade pie delicious Good value great service

Good food fills you up, nice staff

Always excellent food and service every time. My only point of concern is the carpark and the exit out at the far end! There is a very large drop curb down which is very deceiving to anyone who is a first time customer. I have witnessed on several occasions cars going straight down and seriously banging underneath their car when it is to late! There is no warning signs or markings at all!

The Sunday dinners provided are spot on,and also impressed by the table service given to me by the fantastic staff,keep up the good work folks

Beautifully presented, delicious food that was cooked to perfection. Lovely friendly staff. Could not recommend enough.

Only negative was the constant play of the same song Me & Mrs Jones

The starters were okay but I got an undercooked egg on my black pudding starter, which was pretty gross. The chip fryer oil needs changing, my daughter in law had chicken burger and it was overcooked and tasted of everything that had been cooked in the fryer including fish. The food was only mediocre and will not be rushing back.

The joint would would be lit, were it not for Russ's second-rate and overpriced "skin fade" whilst busily dossing about the Med. on a boat.

Absolutely recommended lovely staff amazing food hubby had mix grill i had cheese pie 😍 ..definitely be back 😋

They put on good food after a funeral

We visited here on Xmas eve as a last minute choice, first time I had visited and I went with my family. Food was amazing, the pub itself is very homely and gives a welcoming atmosphere, staff were all polite and courteous . Will 100% be visiting again

Lovely food, good choice, good price, helpful friendly staff.

Nice place with pleasant atmosphere. Staff are friendly and helpful. Food is great. Lovely soup - Butter pie soup!! Highly recommend a visit here.

Lovely home cooked food. Reasonably priced. Great atmosphere. First time I have eaten here, will definitely return

Great food. Lovely atmosphere. Very friendly staff. One of the meals I have had. Will definitely be going back.

Food was OK bar the under cook sausage but the bill made the food a two star as it was very expensive. Nice pub nice food just a shame about the prices.

Steak cooked to absolute perfection. Child friendly, great service. Lovely evening

Really impressed ! Great quality and lovely food. Fantastic service and all round great value for money. Highly recommend and will definitely be visiting again. Special mention to Julie who was friendly, welcoming and accommodating.

Lovely steak sandwich Gluten Free ! Nice pub with cosy feeling to it. Many Thanks !

Lovely, cosy pub. The food was great and the staff helpful.

Fantastic food and the staff looked after us all. Thank you

Delicious food amazing staff we will be back x

Excellent pub food with classics like steak pie and fish and chips

Lovely traditional pub. Great beer selection and really good food. Run by very friendly and helpful staff.

Great food at a reasonable price

We went on Sunday, a table of 9, amazing Sunday lunch, one of the best I've ever had, melt in your mouth meat and delicious accompaniments, echoed by the rest of the group. The staff were fabulous, very attentive, I didn't catch their names but the 2 ladies who tended to us couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful. Already recommended to friends and wouldn't hesitate to return.

Lovely food served by nice staff

We love this place - today was our third trip since we moved to the area 2 months ago. Today we especially enjoyed the service by Courtney. She made us and our kids feel really welcome and relaxed. Thank you. The good is always tasty and our kids love the playground in the beer garden.

Called in after the Lancashire Country Show & sat outside with our dog as it was sunny. The best roast I have had without doubt. Exceptional food & service

Great place, service, and food.

Still the best pub in our area. Great people own the pub and the staff are super.

Fantastic food and service very good. We came in for family lunch day. The meat was turkey and beef on the roast dinner and was superb, real melt in your mouth standard. Home made stuffing with Yorkshire puddings the size of tractor tyres. My rump steak was perfectly done probably one of the best I’ve ever had. The garlic bread we had for our starters was excellent. The whole family loved it here and would highly highly recommend. They have a good size children’s play area behind the large car park which would be great for families with younger kids. One recommendation which is in no way a criticism but maybe management look at replacing the hand dryers in the gents as they weren’t particular powerful but they are ok but that’s just constructive. Thanks for an excellent lunch!

Lush lunch whilst the kids ran themselves ragged in the play area! Superb staff and service.

Expensive and coca cola tasted like water. Almost £5 for some chips.

Wonderful food, reasonable prices and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend 👌

Very accommodating as we called in on the off chance. Great food, grear atmosphere, great service. Will definitely be back!

Old school Sunday lunch. We'll priced very tasty

Called for a pint and food on my way home. Had a caprese salad to start, which was quite nice, but the sliced bog Tom's had no flavour. Small heritage ones would taste better. I then had a steak n ale pie, which was a huge disappointment. The pie itself was that small it was nearly all pastry with only 4 chunks of meat in it. 12 chunky oven chips, a handful of frozen peas and a gravy boat that only held about 2 table spoons of gravy. The beer looked and tasted good to start, but quickly lost its head so tasted flat for the last 3/4 of the pint. All for £23 and change. So not good value either. Will not be going back!

We were victims of the notorious M6 milk tanker incident on Sunday 2nd July. We were travelling back from an event in an old classic car, and had to divert through the trough of Bowland, and ended up exhausted and virtually out of petrol. The petrol stations in Longridge had closed for the day and there was still queueing traffic on the A roads. Yikes! We sought sanctuary at the Plough, and were made to feel very welcome. We had the best Sunday dinner while we waited for a kind family member to bring a can of petrol. Special thanks to Chantelle who had extended her shift to help support all the extra demand, and looked after us brilliantly. Thanks to the management for the excellent customer service ethic and the great food. We will definitely be dining with you again.

We called in to avoid waiting in a huge traffic jam and although it was busy we got a table and were served quickly. Service was pleasant if not a little disorganised and the food was tasty and not bad value. Definitely worth calling if you are passing.

We went in late afternoon for a snack. We all had hot sandwiches of one form or other and thoroughly enjoyed the food. Not sure about the atmosphere but it was a bit quiet and, to be honest, it was a family outing so we weren't really bothered.

Cheese & Onion plate pie had hardly any Cheese in it + when we asked for half & half (chips & rice) they said they didn't do that !!!

Friendly staff had a great meal. Lovely setting.

Seems to be a restricted menu if you eat outside. Food is good and nicely served. Staff are very friendly and polite. Haven't been here for over 40 years but I won't be leaving it that long this time.

Great menu. Tasty food. Very nice pub with friendly staff

Nice pint, and midweek tea. Recommend the steak & ale pie

Food was great and pub was really nice.

The staff an people drinking here was very pleasant an if you needed help they put themselves out to help lovely food an wecoming

The menu is extensive and from the specials we chose the Coronation Butterfly Chicken Burgers which were delicious. We shared a very tasty Garlic Ciabatta with Cheese as a starter but after our main courses there was no room for even a shared dessert. Service throughout was warm and friendly and our visit produced a bonus; during a previous visit with our grandchildren, our grandson’s rucksack with his diggers and dumpers had gone missing. But when we asked if perhaps……. The answer was”Yes! We have it!” Thank you a lovely lunch and rescuing g the rucksack! 🙂

Visiting the area for the weekend and called into The Plough with our dog. We were greeted by Lillia who was very welcoming and very friendly. We ordered our drinks and then Courtney came to our table to take our order. This 17 year old was very confident and clearly suited for her role in Customer facing. She couldn't have been more helpful and based on her approach and information we purchased a doggy dinner for our Springer Spaniel and a Doggy Beer :) Everybody loved the dog and made us feel so welcomed, even who believed was the landlady was so down to earth and welcoming. Definitely a wonderful place to visit.

Pleasant friendly staff and a nice place to break your journey

Went here for the first time and the meal was really good and value for money we will be going again soon

As said on other review. Can't go wrong here

Excellent food and friendly service, will be going again.

Good menu and nice interior in this pub. Prices are on the higher side (e.g. £12 for Sunday Roast, £12 Scampi) but the food is always really good. I've never had a bad meal here. Plenty of good beers on tap, the staff are helpful and friendly too. If you e got a large party expect a bit of a wait. We had a party of ten and food took about 45mins to arrive, but it all came at once, it was fresh and very tasty.

We went in on a Friday evening as we were passing, busy bar with plenty of locals, lively atmosphere, we were only going to have a drink but seeing the food being served decided to join in. Good food for me and my wife and at a reasonable price, friendly service, quality IPA on draught and my wife enjoyed her wine too, so great evening, just wished she was driving so I could have had another pint! Maybe next time eh?

Great place, nice staff and good for a pub quiz, food good too

Really good food,big beer garden for kids, friendly staff.

Friendly staff. Enjoyable food, although it took it's time to arrive & did so in the wrong order. Wheelchair accessible.

Good quality food and at a decent price. Would recommend!

Wonderful food. Very nice experience. First time for nearly 40years.

Only dropped in for hot chocolate and quick bite.. HotChoc was hot and chocolatie.. bbq chips were OK. Place was nice, bright, clean, bar staff professional. 👍

went in today, had a lovely roast beef dinner and other half had mixed grill, the food was fantastic, really enjoyed it, be back soon
