The (Landlord) was incredibly negative, and grumpy. I was the only person there. it was so quiet because of him. For some bizarre reason, he also put on a fake northern accent when he was obviously from the south.

Very nice beer and good prices served by appreciative man. Quite a unique looking pub I thought quite cozy with music channel and jukebox to liven it up a bit. I was attracted by its haunted reputation and thought I did detect an unusual atmosphere when I visited the toilet.

Well what an absolute blast we had!!! Was in Preston visiting friends for a couple of nights and stumbled upon this cute little treasure of a pub, from the drinks ( which were very reasonably priced ) to the little extras they did we could not fault the atmosphere in here. The new management in there are a barrel of laughs and were very easy to have a chat with. I believe they are going to be serving food again in the very near future so i will absolutely be back again to try this. Thank you so much for an amazing couple of nights.

Called in yesterday for a drink but won’t be going again. The place is filthy, behind the bar is full of rubbish and empty bottles. Outside every table was filthy with empty glass and rubbish, the floor was covered in rubbish and cigarette ends, flies were swarming due to the stench from the bins and general dirt everywhere. I didn’t even finish my drink because it was that bad.

I went to preston for one night. The Wellington was the first pub I stumbled across at 5 pm after checking in the hotel, and we never left. Honestly the banter was great, the pumps are clean, music we knew every tune, the staff were hilarious! It’s a little gem this! One not to be missed 😀 We didn’t try the food I’m not even sure if they do any but the customer service, and the welcome was amazing! I was only there one night but we’re planning to go back for new year they’re all great 👌👌👌

Called in here as a meeting point for a night out in the town... first disappointment - no cask ales at all.... the Wellie was once a holy site for a good pint of real ale... sadly no more.... this needs rectifying !! secondly the service was really bad.... however, this was not down to the staff... the young woman behind the bar was fab... really pleasant and hard working, but that was the problem... she was expected to do far to much... pool lass.... it was because of the wait that we decided to move on.... the wellies is a fab pub, great inside and out... but it needs to be brave and take the leap of employing more staff and getting things up and running...this way the pub could return to the gem that it once was...

We will not be going again. We ordered one starter and two Sunday roasts for all the food to come together. My partner received their starter and main while I wait 10 mins for mine. The food in itself was basic, the broccoli was very over cooked and browned. The stuffing was a large ball of mush, not pleasant. The venue was dirty with cobwebs in many places, dead flies along the window sill on the inside, it the outdoor area a shattered mirror in a dangerous hazard and the toilets were not pleasant and the toilet seat was broken. Judging by the reviews I was expecting better, but was very disappointed.

Before pubs opened inside the atmosphere outside was great. However, standards have slipped when the bars opened inside and the atmosphere became dead. The standards of the food had declined. However, the manager was very welcoming and when we told her about a blip in the quality she offered a free pitcher each.

Food took around 40 minutes to arrive there were only 3 tables full. Staff seemed inexperienced. Food was lovely although was tinfoil on one of the plates.

Ordered the Sunday lunch after rave reviews, wish I hadn't bothered! After half an hour late I rang, they said it was on the way, they then rang 30 mins after that to ask if we'd had the food delivered, that would be no!! It was on the way they promised, 30 mins after that after another phone call from me they promised it was on the way again! So after a hour and half late it turned up and I wish it hadn't. It looked like they'd lost the order then threw something together, everything was either overcooked or undercooked Not an enjoyable experience at all..... one I won't be repeating.
