The Anderton Arms in Preston

Amazing service from Rhi and all the team tonight, love the Mac and cheese

Superb service from the staff, always make sure we are happy and looked after

Lewis, Rhi and meg all provided lovely service

Superb. We visited the Anderton Arms, an Embers Inn bar/restaurant, for Sunday dinner and we are so glad we did. The food was excellent, the wine (Pinot and Merlot) and real ale (Wainwright) was great quality and great value. But what made the evening so special was the service. It was so good I asked one of the team behind the bar to write me a list of those who had served us. Each one is a credit to The Anderton Arms. We were served by Rhi, Tom, and Megan. They went out of their way to make our visit special. Nothing was too much for them. I was also told that the food was prepared by Bran, Tan, and Tracy. Full marks to all three. The beef was delicious, the calamari was crisp on the outside and succulent on the inside, just as it should be, the chicken wings were meaty, juicy, and had an amazing coating. It was just all so good. Well done team. We really appreciate how much effort you put in to making our evening at the Anderton Arms so special. Thanks.

Fantastic service by Rhianna, always pleasant and efficient.

Lovely, warm and clean. Staff friendly and helpful. I had the steak on ciabatta bread with salad on the side. Unfortunately this place has drastically taken a unwelcomed turn for the worse. As of January 2025. Took my 94 yr old neighbour out for lunch Sunday also son to watch the football ( kill 2 birds one stone scenario) I'm sad to say the food was unbeatable, infact smelt like someone had died. 3 different dishes, all were disgusting. Was so sad this was the case. Upon talking to other customers they more or less all sad the same. I will never eat here again. Put me off for GOOD. ACTUALLY this has never happened to me before.

Food and staff amazing, would definitely recommend visiting

Came here on its opening day years ago. Lost a bit of atmosphere, more of a restaurant these days but food and beer was good. 50% off food so happy.

A good standard overall with friendly helpful staff. Just one thought - please don't overcook chicken - it shouldn't be dry and stringy!

Came this morning between 10.30 and 11am and they were closed despite advertising a 10am opening on a Friday

Tasty food, great service, friendly atmosphere 😋 👌

Lovely pub very cosy great service my first time here but we will be coming again for sure

It was a pleasant surprise when I received the Sunday Roast Dinner that I ordered. Everything was delicious and the portion was very generous. I highly recommend it.

Fabulous service can't thank them enough made my wife wake a pleasant experience the food and service was excellent

Our servers Faye and Lewis gave us exceptional service today! The chefs James and Tom made an incredible breakfast. It was cooked to perfection.

Great spot for a breakfast. Great service which was very friendly. Food was also good quality. Everyone was very satisfied.

Food was ok. Service could have been better.

Four of us went for lunch on 14.12.24 had the turkey carvery meal and it was superb, so good we have cancelled our meal at Angelos and booked it back here . The staff are very helpful and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Highly recommended not just at christmas but all year through when we visit But the Turkey lunch was well worth doing the review.

Had a Christmas lunch with work colleagues. The food was very good, arrived on time and was hot! The staff are extremely polite and very efficient. Thank you.

A warm welcome guaranteed highly recommended

Excellent food, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere

Go regularly. Staff always pleasant.

I came in for breakfast and selected Poached Eggs & Avocado on toast. It was cooked to perfection as always by Bran & Tan. I would 100% recommend. 🙌

I’ve been here before and it’s still as good as it was then. Great friendly service, me and my parents were looked after and the food was delicious. Will definitely be going back!

Good service food and well priced

Beautiful food and friendly, helpful staff! Would visit again.

We eat here all the time now as its always good food and amazing service can't fault and will always recommend

Good food Service was good All round good experience

Fantastic and welcoming a shout out to Faye always smiling and attentive :)

Went on a Wednesday afternoon, food was delicious and decent portions. Staff were excellent.

Had a lovely Sunday roast .The staff were pleasant and really attentive.

I went for an impromptu tea date with a friend and I ordered surf and turf. I ordered the steak medium rare and it was amazing. I genuinely couldn't have asked for it to be better. Thank chefs James and Tracy.

Despite being really busy service was excellent and the staff are really friendly. Sam, Megan and Ryan as servers were great and the kitchen staff James and Tracy were clearly working hard and food was yummy

We have been to the Anderton Arms a few times and had very enjoyable meals. Yesterday wasn't that brilliant, we arrived three of us for lunch, my partner ordered a starter and once he had finished it we were still sat there 35 mins later waiting for our mains. My partner went to the bar and asked the lady, she did say they had a group of people at the other side who they were trying to get food out for but would check what was happening with ours, 10 mins later it arrived. We all had peas which were hard. And to top it off, this wasn't the pubs fault. There was a guy sat near us chatting very loudly on his mobile about spread sheets and stuff all through our meal, you don't want this when you go out for a nice lunch.

We went for lunch today and using a 40% off mains voucher. The food and service was exceptional as always. Samantha and Tom were extremely attentive and friendly and brought our drinks to the table. The chefs tom and Connor cooked the food to perfection and my steak was perfectly rare.

Had an absolutely wonderful late lunch with my family, it couldn’t have been more perfect. I was served very quickly and everyone behind the bar were extremely polite and welcoming. The food was served quickly and was absolutely delicious, quite possibly one of the best steak sandwiches I have ever eaten! The steak was cooked to perfection and the portion sizes were massive! My mum asked for the fish to be lightly battered and she said it was delicious. Would absolutely recommend the Anderton Arms and will definitely be going back.

Good food and beer and reasonable prices

Excellent service from Rhiana & Andy. What a chap, very carasmatic, nice place, good food and atmosphere. Have been plenty of times and will be Coming back.

the waitress rihannan and andy was absolutely wonderful made our night full off laughter fun and great food would recommend to everyone ❤️

It was brilliant, service was great big shout out to Rhiannon

Great local pub, friendly staff, reasonably priced and great atmosphere Thanks to Rihanna, Andy and Ben!

It was fantastic to have a family meal here tonight. The food was wonderful and the staff even better, Rhiana and Andy in particular created a lovely atmosphere and even a few laughs. We have eaten here a few times and will definitely come back.

Went in on Monday evening for food with a friend for a catch up and had such a great experience starting with Andy behind the bar instantly putting a smile to our face and making us laugh so much we couldn’t speak, to the lovely atmosphere around the pub, and finishing off with amazing food. I’m super fussy with food too and they managed to completely full fill all of my requests. Anderton is somewhere I wish o could visit more often but just far away personally for me. But it’s a lovely treat when I do get to go , thank you all the team

Chefs (Tanya bran and Tom) made some absolutely delicious food, serving staff (Andi Tom) were lovely and helpful as well.

Excellent curry night (Wednesday) on this occasion, wonderful Beef madras curry with pilau rice, bombay potatoes, vegetable samosa, poppadoms with chutneys and chicken tika masala with pilau rice. Superb well worth a visit. Excellent service and staff exemplary 5 stars plus +++++. Sorry forgot to take pictures of the food, just didn't have the time to stop and not continue to eat the delicious curry. £32 great value for the meals, can't fault it. We'll worth popping into the Anderton Arms any night and at any season.

Andii is A fantastic manager and is a credit to the company. Many thanks to Megan and orion. All the kitchen team too. We love the Anderton and always will. Excellent pub and wonderful team.

Andy the manager and the team 5star, great local

Great local Amazing staff, Andy and the team look after everyone well !

Lovely employees. Andy is unreal, class and looks after us

Rhianna provided lovely service and she had a nice smile

excellent customer service from Tom

Shoutout to Rhianna for being the best barmaid in the world!!

Lovely visit at the Anderton arms, Rihanna is such a great barmaid and server as always

Rhianna is very attentive, hard working and always pleasant. Goes the extra mile for customers, lovely visit to the Anderton arms

Tom behind the bar is so friendly and helpful

Barman Tom is always so pleasant, chatty and helpful. He always knows what I want to drink and pours a perfect pint of cask Wainwrights.

Joe average. Pint of Madri, flat!

Great food, great service, very accommodating!!

They dont even answer to you when you have requirements

Pass this place loads of times, After looking for somewhere different to eat Thought we'd give a visit. Got to say food was piping hot,and was bang on. Mrs had beef and I the duo with a side of cauliflower cheese. Both enjoyed it. Place was nice and staff were friendly. Will visit again Thanks

Came here with my family for a breakfast and catch up after soo long. The morning staff were very rude and unhelpful. Kat you need to work on your people skills.

Firstly we chose off the menu to then be told when ordering that part of the menu isn’t served on bank holidays although that is not stated on the page of the menu. We ordered steaks and both were full of fat and the 1 mushroom on both dishes was burnt. Definitely not worth the price.

A memorable lunch at the Anderton Arms Fulwood due to Samantha who went out of her way to try to order an omelette (not on the menu) for my friend who had recently had a stomach operation. The chefs, James and Tracy cooked her a delicious omelette. Samantha was friendly and a pleasure to meet. Also our food was delicious. What a lovely pub to visit with such a happy relaxed atmosphere.

Came in on a Saturday night for a few drinks while the mother in law was visiting. Great atmosphere, and Sam and Cat behind the bar were spot on. Everything seemed to be done with a smile and the general service was great. I’ll be visiting again.

Hubby and myself had a meal here this evening and wow not disappointed at all. Food was amazing, I had Tandoori skewers and he had mixed grill and his was loaded, said it is one of the best he has ever had. Staff very friendly and helpful. Thank you 😊

I have been here a couple of times an each time I can't say I enjoyed the food my friend also with me didn't enjoy there meal either the chicken was tastless the dessert was OK but the plate it came was cold would have been better if it had been warmed a bit

Family meal on a Monday night, service was amazing from Tom and cat, both very chatty and friendly. Food was amazing from the very reasonably priced set menu. Will be back again!

Visited today for lunch , staff lovely, food really nice X will go again

Had a lovely meal here. Great service as always (bar person had lots of patience, and a sense of humour, despite the card machine playing silly buggers). Nice to sit in the sunshine and enjoy. Dog friendly, too.

Food was excellent, as was the service. The pub decor is looking tired though and could do with a refresh

Great food and service. Sam and Bailey were very friendly and the chefs did a great job with our food. Will 100% return and have the mixed grill again

Another great experience at the Anderton Arms. Thanks to all the staff that work so hard. The food was again beautifully cooked and presented in a really nice way.

Great place, visit often and staff always warm and welcoming. Food is always excellent I would recommend the spicy chicken burger

The food was very low quality... The only good thing was the server she was great even tho rushed off her feet

Family birthday, all went very well

Mrs H and I had our dinner here which was excellent value for money and was excellent to eat in comfortable surroundings. Mrs H enjoyed her cocktails with us both having the Tomato and Basil soup to start with which was accompanied with a hot crusty roll and butter. For mains Mrs H had the fish and chips with tartar sauce and I had sausages and mash with cauliflower cheese sauce, green beans and Mrs H's mushy peas (we shared the vegetables for those who think I will eat everything in site) as well as sliced bread and butter with the fish and chips. I drank a large latte which did not leave any room for dessert, but the service was excellent with down to earth friendly people who timed the courses very well even though the establishment was fairly busy on our arrival. We'll definitely return and recommend.

Friendly staff, Great fish and chips

Long ques for drinks, and food orders, not enough staff behind bar, app not working at the table for orders, ladies toilets not flushing and hand dryer not working. Menus sticky.

Really nice pub and place to eat. Good quality food and good value for money. Nice friendly staff.

Prawn in breadcrumbs starter - the driest and most tasteless dish I've ever had in my life! All the tables and menus were wet from drinks. Place seems to revolve around the staff just socialising with the regulars.

A very large pub with an adjacent free car park. Food was good with options other than fried to within an inch of its life typical pub food. A very large selection of beers and real ales. Lots of TV screens so very good for watching sports.

Nice reasonable price for lunch. Good value and service.

Great place to eat. Fantastic food. Very well presented. First time as Premier Inn Beef eater closing down. My new home whenever I'm staying in the Premier Inn in Preston

Loved it! Food was fantastic, service was lovely, atmosphere was great, price was good. Overall a good place to go and eat lovely food, with minimal wait.

Had the best birthday for mum! It was her 70th so we had a lovely family gathering- tables all set together for us , food arrived promptly and all together (14 people), service was amazing - Sunday 2nd June! Plates cleared promptly and allowed us to do the birthday cake , the whole pub sang to be fair! Then topped off with Eton mess and chocolate brownies!!! What more can I ask ! Thank you!

Had 2 main meals, 2 burgers asked for allergy changes, but still came as original. Service was appalling due to ordering drinks off the app and not even receiving them. took 50 minutes to receive these. the two burgers come out cold and no compensation was given or offered. awful experience seeing as i work under the mitchell & butlers company.

We only had a drink but we have had a meal there on a few occasions and never been disappointed

Excellent value for money staff are very helpful

Friendly staff, great food, nice crisp pint.

Very good booking procedure and excellent supportive staff. Overall, a very good local - recommended.

Traveling up the M6 on a Friday afternoon, we didn't fancy service station food so found here instead for our dinner. Really close to the M6. Really quick service so we were on the road again in good time. The food was lovely and service was perfect too.

New menu is excellent, proper skin on fries! Rhianna and Kat served us with beautiful smiles! Will definitely be back to try the tandoori chicken skewer!

I would definitely visit again. The food was good and a bonus my dog was welcome.

Food was very good, staff pleasant.

Great family local pub, staff very polite, great atmosphere, food excellent, reasonable price's, well worth a visit 😀.

As always, we enjoyed our visit to the Anderton Arms. Whether it is a visit for dinner or lunch or just for drink, there is always a pleasant atmosphere, genuine welcome and good service. The food is tasty and is well-presented. Staff are friendly, professional and keen to please. One member of staff in particular is so calm and cheerful (Abbie I think) that you can’t help but feel welcome and at ease. Great local pub that is a pleasure to visit.

Excellent day fantastic. Food was fabulous , I wanna mention the unspoken team Tracy tan and Conor Andries was lovely as well

Great food and fantastic staff. Love the loyalty rewards program. Would recommend strongly for dinner or Sunday lunch. Megan was great, kudos to Kyle, Connor & Tracy in the kitchen.

Had some lunch here. The food was great, and the guy behind the bar was nice. 🍻

Great service and food. Family friendly pub and fab kids menu. The Anderton’s has a great atmosphere for eating or meeting friends.
