The best restaurants serving British food in Preston North West

Fantastic pub/bistro - landlord /owner waxed lyrically about the food and we were not disappointed, fantastic food, locally sourced produce. Keep up the good work - see you soon ! *This review is our opinion and not influenced by anyone / do not miss this pub!* Praise all your staff

This was our second time dining at 263 and it was just as wonderful as the first. I had a family member visiting and the team had very kindly signed a menu as a little memento - what a great touch! The food was once again incredible with a few changes from the menu on our previous visit - impossible to pick a single highlight but the salt aged beef was certainly the best I've ever had, and the black trompette madeleine instantly unlocked treasured childhood memories of freshly baked cakes - a perfect way to finish the meal. The team were fantastic, a slick but personable service that shows their commitment to the craft. The Sommelier was able to flex her knowledge of wines by expertly helping us select a bottle for the table based on our tastes - never an easy task when there are three people, but it was the perfect accompaniment to the meal. Overall just another brilliant experience from 263 and I'm already excited to return!

If you're looking for a pub with a lovely welcoming friendly staff, a great selection of beers and ales, tasty food with a menu that also caters for vegetarian and vegan diets, a great atmosphere, and many original features from its Victorian origin then you've come to the right place. Whether you want to sit at the bar, play darts, listen to live music or sit in one of the separate rooms for a meal, a quiet pint by yourself, enjoy the beer garden, play tennis table and more, then this is definitely a pub for you.

Had a meal on the day of new menu-disappointed that there was no choice for plain food except fish and chips!-no Scampi-no Chicken-please relook at this for plain eaters! Beef was tough in parts and the new potatoes with the fish were hard and bland! The duck was amazing as was the Eton Mess-so please please look at putting chicken on your menu -also have a mains salmon that’s not smoked!-on the whole lovely food as always-just needs a few tweeks!

Friendly and quick service at the bar, could have had a bit more info about the ales for "strangers in the bar" but it wasn't a major problem.

AVOID this was absolutely the worst experience we have had..... ever !! Food - totally in edible! not that there was much in the counter and no gravy!! No utensils to get food, he used his hands to throw the cold yorkshire puddings in a tray Service - what service !? No explanation offered Restaurant - Tables were sticky Cook/ Owner ?? (definitely not a chef!) the rudest, offensive man, no manners and very angry about something!! Have you even worked in hospitality before??? We demanded our money back and left! We will never ever step foot in the place again, perhaps this is why the place had very few customers!?

Having been here previously I was expecting great things. Avoid at all costs. Absolutely diabolical food. Honestly you'd be better getting a ready meal from Tesco and saving yourself some money.

Friendly service and nice brunch menu.

Lovely pub food, but since June I've been charged from £3.50 to £3.95 on the same day for two cups of coffee. Recently charged £4.75! If someone could explain why??

Cafe has to be clean and hygienic for me to enjoy a meal out. This was such a place. I felt comfortable sitting in this cafe on my own (not always the case) and I thought the food was excellent at good prices.

Lovely restaurant in the town centre, food was excellent and staff were very helpful. Great healthy menu.

Really good food, we all really enjoyed the dishes we had, good quality produce & lovely coffee too. Portions were good, service was great, good value, good atmosphere, it was very busy which is not surprising as its a gem of a place.

Absolutely excellent, the food was fantastic, a quality buffet and lovely bar staff. Would definitely recommend booking a function here and definitely thinking of coming here for a family meal. Thank you so much as you really made Grandma Alice’s 100th birthday a special one. Xxx

Proper sandwiches without skimping out on the ingredients. I’ve recently discovered delichix after a friend of mine told me how amazing their sandwiches are. And he ain’t wrong. Proper thick chunky chicken pieces and a enough salad to keep a hungry guy like me satisfied. One of these best sandwiches I’ve ever had . Definitely Value for money .

Great friendly service with traditional service and style. Warm welcome when entering. Service was quick. Order 4 breakfast baps and hot drinks. Got the food for the price of coffees at chain cafes. I found a decent price for cooked to order rather than the buffet style at hotel. Far nicer.
