The Ancient Oak - Preston

If you want cold food served by uninterested staff, the. You won’t be disappointed. We went fir lunch , one ordered soup and a toasted ciabatta, the other hunters chicken off the Ember Classics menu. The soup was cool , the ciabatta similar. No spoon fir the soup, no knife for the butter, The hunters chicken came dry, no bbq sauce. When we took it to the waiter and enquired where the bbq sauce was, we were told it was “inside the chicken “ . Interesting, and of course it wasn’t. The dry) chicken was warm, not hot the chips similar. After a while it wasn’t particularly busy) a waiter eventually came to us and asked were we enjoying our meal , my husband told him he was eating it as quickly as he could as it had arrived luke warm. The waiter nodded , said oh it’s not hot ….and wandered off, never to return. Absolute not interested of course he want , they make you pay before the food is served. Dreadful lunch, no atmosphere, waiters not interested. Woukdnt go back again!

Opted for the Wednesday curry night. Good chicken curry with rice, poppadoms and nan bread. Plenty of chicken and tasty. Hubby had rogan josh not a lot of lamb. Friendly service from Laura. Next time we would book as I think a drink is included according to website

This was a super fun night, always great entertainment and the bar staff are lovely. We had some delay on food but the staff offered us a free round and Hannah saw to it amazingly. Great customer service and great environment.

Me and my boyfriend came the other day for food we both had the cheese and bacon burger it was delicious! hannah was very nice and made the experience there fantastic we really enjoyed it and will definitely be back soon!!

We’ve ordered from here a few times via Deliveroo and the first couple of times were absolutely fine and the food was great, the last 3 times have been awful! Mainly due to the orders being wrong, due to allergies the burger has been ordered plain which is clearly on the deliveroo receipt attached to the bag but every time the pub gets it wrong honestly it’s like they plaster extra sauce on so the person can’t eat it and end up just having chips! it’s also previously done this with others items so I wouldn’t recommend ordering through delivery Apps.
