What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Stags Head Preston offers a charming, old-fashioned pub experience with a friendly atmosphere and attentive service. Many praise the quality of the food, especially the Sunday roast and starters like duck pate, and appreciate the family-friendly amenities. However, some diners have noted inconsistencies in food preparation, with occasional overcooked meats or minor issues with specific dishes, and some found the prices to be on the higher side.
"I called here on a hot day with two dogs which were welcome in the beer garden, there is a large car park , I never had much time so just had a Guinness and orange duck pate which was absolutely delicious. There is a large beer garden with a small play area and lots of grass with a football net. Really friendly staff. I will definitely return"

"We stopped on a whim while driving by looking for somewhere to eat, and the Google reviews prompted us to stay! We were not disappointed, two delicious main courses. Can recommend the Cumberland Ring!
Staff were friendly and polite and the wait for food wasn't too bad considering the care which went into its preparation!"
Jon Harvey
"Lovely food however it is on the pricier side.
I ordered the hunters chicken which the chicken part was the smaller of the portion but an oversized portion of garden peas and chips accompanied it.
My wife ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and specified no spicy mayo and no salad dressing. The dressing was missed (great) however they out spicy mayo on the burger but as we was pressed for time and there was a wait on food my wife scraped what she could off and ate the remainder which ended up not being an awful lot.
If we had time we would have complained but we had to leave once we had all eaten. Would still go again for a treat!
Also a bouncy castle to keep the kids or even young adults happy!"
