The Continental - Preston

The restaurant is conveniently located next to the park, making it the perfect spot to stop by after a stroll or bike ride for a delicious meal or drinks. The food is superb and freshly prepared.

I went to this restaurant for a birthday dinner and decided to have the beef roast. The beef was perfectly cooked, the vegetables were tasty, and the Yorkshire pudding was huge. We also tried the sausage of the day, Caesar salad, steak, and lamb rump from the specials menu, and all were enjoyed. The atmosphere was great, with funky background music and attentive staff. I really love this place.

We recently dined at a restaurant in Preston and were incredibly impressed with the quality of the food. Our daughter is studying at Uclan, so we have tried various restaurants in the area, but this one stood out. The menu offered a great selection across all three courses, and we were particularly pleased with the roast lamb dish we ordered. Despite being seated early at 6pm, the portion size was generous and the flavor was delicious. Overall, this was the best meal we have had in Preston.

This pub has gone through quite a few changes over the past few years (food wise only, the management remain the same . The original chefs left a few years back and the quality of the food went rapidly downhill. So much so, that I stopped eating there. But, I’m happy to say they now seem to have found a new chef, who has re-established the pub as a quality dining experience. Having been twice in the past few weeks, I can say that on both occasions the food was top quality. And the pub continues to offer a great choice of real ales and continental beers. I believe the chef specialises in Asian/Indian food, but this really isn’t representative of the menu, which has retained its eclectic mixture of mainly European influenced dishes. But, there are daily specials, which do occasionally feature a curry. And the chicken tikka starter is fantastic. Well worth a visit, especially if you’ve not been recently. If anything, I would perhaps like to see a few more Asian inspired dishes on the main menu, to play to the strengths of the chef. (Only one gripe..had to ask for the advertised 20% taken off the bill, as the waiter thought it only applied at lunchtime.

Booked Xmas eve tea out , had starters of fishcake for me and chicken tikka for Mr E, both were delicious. Mains of lamb rump and Ox tail pasta were both great. We finished off with deserts. Great place to spend time with a group or as a couple.
