Roebuck in Preston

Lovely snug olde world feel, great sunny outside seating and bowling green

Absolutely dreadful place!The blond haired assistant who was walking around "looking busy" but didn't actually do anything and ignored customers needing assistance.We watched her drifting back and forth while we waited to be sat at a table for over 10 minutes, then told the kitchen was closed at 7.30pm!Took my business elsewhere and won't be recommending this eatery.Expect it to be closed down the next time I'm in the area

Been here all week & the quality of service & food has been superb throughout. From a warm welcome to a filling breakfast & succulent steak each evening. Thank you 😊

I'm going to give 3 stars... lovely place, clean toilets, staff nice, however the service was appalling. On arrival we was told 30 minutes wait for food, which was absolutely fine no rush.When the food did eventually arrive it wasnt great, frozen chips steak not cooked as requested and rather small portions for the price. Don't mind paying for good home cooked food, but this wasn't.After our meal we sat with dirty plates in front of us for a good 45 minutes, no one came to collect them, we had to ask for them to be removed. Surprisingly we wasn't asked if we enjoyed our meal 👎

Kids meals were great.... no complaints at all. But my mac 'n' cheese was awful. It tasted very artificial, just like a microwave meal. There's no way that was a freshly cooked cheese sauce. A shame really as everything else was faultless.

First the positives.Anna our server was fabulous.So polite, friendly and courteous. Excellent at her job too.The mini pudding , in the tiny plant pot was delicious, ( Eton mess).Now the negatives...ordered the 3 roasts. The slices of Turkey and Pork were good...the rest, not so good.Beef very, very pink, fatty and I could not cut it.Roast potatoes, hard and dry.Veg, overcooked. I left most of it.I was offered another meal, but declined. Money for my main was refunded.I think if ordering a roast,then the earlier the better. Should be fresh too.I don't know why the beef is that pink????? Not everyone likes it like that.

Visited the Roebuck this afternoon what a lovely and welcoming little place it is. The food was absolutely beautiful, very generous size portions too. Very reasonably priced menu as-well. We were served by Chole who was very friendly and polite with a fast service. I would definitely recommend the Roebuck to anyone and will certainly be visiting again in the near future.

Visited on 20 October Delightful barmaid. Let down by the food my singed lamb cutlets were swimming on a plate of butter beans in liquid with a couple of potatoes (nice) The reason I didn't complain at time It was a treat from a friend who is 102 and I didn't want to spoil her occasion.

Fantastic food steaks were cooked perfectly Staff were helpful and friendly Can recommend

We've been to the roebuck quite a few times as we are relatively local.It is a chef and brewer pub so the menu is similar to others in the chain.The menu has plenty of choice, including vege options and all the food that we have had over several visits has been good pub grub, with better than good presentation.The fried garlic prawns were very nice, to be honest the portion size was a bit disappointing but they were firm and tasty.Garlic mushrooms on ciabatta was a good portion and a good flavour, certainly recommend for fans of the fungi.The daily soup varies, but always a vege and vegan (no butter) option. The spiced vegetable soup was good, a bit like a thin curry.The steak on ciabatta sandwich was very good, from the lunch menu but a good portion, cooked medium.The battered halloumi is a great take on no-meat fish and chips, very tasty, good portion size, too much really : )The gammon was excellent, not salty as it can be in places, a good size cut and the rum and cola glaze was actually sensational, very pleasant and moreish.Desserts are the usual pub pre-portioned affair but nothing wrong with them at all, we tried two sundaes, both good and the indulgent sharer on another visit which was good and surprisingly filling too.No complaints, would recommend any of the dishes we had (more prawns please) and we will certainly go back again.Staff are all friendly and their covid measures are also commendable.One of our pre-covid regulars for Sunday lunch and will be again.Extensive beer garden and plenty of parking. Dog friendly : )
