Ate there this evening and cannot fault it. Very inviting builfing, attentive caring staff. The food was fantastic. Gastro pub for sure, but also bar area for drinkers. Hats off to the chef, he could see him checking / tasting food was going out spot on. Would recommend this to anyone and although £30 per head for two courses and a bottle of wine (two people), is worth every penny. Don't let the standards drop!

A dull pub but amazing food. Recommended for a meal only. And probably a bit of an occasion too as it's not cheap!

Went there with my family including older relatives for my birthday.

Top quality food, best chips I've had in years and great service. Its more like a restaurant than a pub but its a lovely place to go.

After wasting plenty VDT by emerging from the opposite entrance of Preston Park station and being in denial that we had picked the wrong one for far too long, we eventually came to our senses and headed back and found the PPT just the other side of the railway. It promised to be an earthy, non-nonsense local that according to the Good Beer Guide now hosts a wide range of cask ales for delectation.
It would appear that we couldn't have arrived at a less propitious time of the week, as of 6 pumps, only 3 were occupied, and 2 were duplicate Harvey's Best. We couldn't question the credentials as a beer boozer, as the multitude of diverse and colourful clips adorning the upper trim of the bar testified to a wealth of previous choice - just obviously not at 4 of a Thursday afternoon.
Still, what we did find was a clean and crisp half of Fuller's ESB, and very friendly patter from both sides of the bar. The lady behind it did say they were expecting 2 much more intriguing offerings to hit the spare pumps soon, but they weren't quite ready. I do hope they did, and that someone got to sample this pub's wares at their best.
I would return here although not being local it may be some time, and allow myself another chance with this pub as it has the makings of a real old-school classic.

NB- there was a surprising variety of crisps, sweeties and nutty bites available for those who might be put off by the previous comments regarding tough beef and hard veggies!

Definitely not for us. We went there for lunch and ordered the beef roast. Unfortunately we didn't enjoy the experience. The beef was tough. The vegetables were seriously undercooked & I needed the serrated edge knife to cut into the roast potatoes. The staff were very pleasant and efficient, but the food really let them down. Such a pity.
