The best restaurants serving British food in Preston North West

Our first visit after our own village pub had to close down. What a revelation and just like a proper pub should be - obviously due to Kev, the owner, and his team’s friendly expertise. Running a successful pub is not for amateurs these days. We took advantage of the Steak Night with excellent 8oz filet steaks, cooked rare to perfection, and a bottle of Rioja. The menu looks interesting with daily specials that we will try next time. Well done to the owners, you deserve your success.

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!

Had a couple of pints of lager and it was a lovely atmosphere and so chill. Get a quick drink in here before town

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.

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!?

Easter Sunday lunch- great meal with family, 8 of us and 1dog. Excellent food, best Sunday lunch we’ve had in a long time. Attentive service. We will definitely be going back.

Went for lunch with the husband, mother in law, and aunt in law for my husband's birthday lunch. I didn't get any pictures but I can say the food was beautiful. I had the bhudda bowl with chicken and it was soooo tasty! Perfect balance of textures with the croutons and salad, the coleslaw was very very good, and the baconnaise was yummy. My hubby and mumil had burgers and it was wonderful to see hubby finish a full meal. He's always been a picky eater and never finishes a meal so he obviously really enjoyed it :) he did a lot of nodding and satisfied mumbling We picked B+B as my hubby is now in recovery (3 weeks sober ❤️) so we wanted somewhere quiet, good food, good coffee, and a chill environment where we could relax and be away from the beer garden sun seekers that fill the main street in town. And it was perfect! Staff were lovely, the space is gorgeous, and I love the wall of dogs! Will have to go back with my own doggo soon 😊

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??

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

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.

Visited this morning, ordered 2 large breakfasts, 2 teas and 2 cakes to take home. The breakfasts were served, we noticed items were missing off both plates, I informed the waitress who was lovely and asked if we would like anything else, so we asked for an extra pot tea to share as we was already eating, (apparently items had just ran out when it came to plating ours up? The table across who ordered before me was also missing items?) The manager came over and said we wasn't allowed another pot of tea but we could have an extra hash brown each.... confused because surely a tea bag is less expensive than 2 hash browns?? Manager brought us the hashbrowns... frozen still in the middle. When we first visited the day after reopening after renovation, the whole service was spectacular, absolutely faultless, what's happened? Cakes were great and so was the tea.
