The Derby Arms - Preston

Last night for dinner and when we were there, we thought why it was dead! when I said dead, there were more employees than customers. but we thought no was not here now. on our table and given menu, waitress came within 5 minutes, took order. waited no more than 10 minutes for the starter. That was brilliant. 10 minutes after the completion of the net came. the Steak Pie was amazing. Unfortunately, we couldn't finish our meal as we were too full. then it could not fit into a dessert. most people wouldn't complain about it, I know that but had organized a babysitter, and after the bill we realized we were out of the house for 90 minutes, so we went somewhere else. Perhaps we have just gone to the wrong time so that it is so quiet, good eating tho.

Excellent service from friendly helpful staff. The food is amazing and portions are very generous. Even better, dog friendly and dogs get treated too. Dog biscuits available, very nice. Strongly recommend you go but must be hungry when you do visit

Brilliant meals, as you would expect from a Michelin rated chef, but really generous portions you would not expect. good choice of five real ales from Robinson's. A nice touch was the offer of a free pint on the next visit to encourage people to revisit. it won't be long before you will not be able to move in this place; I would advise anyone thinking about going to get there now before word gets round. You might well see me there, slumped in a corner with a big grin and a pint!

I was in the area for 2 nights and looked for somewhere good to eat, I found this place and what a find. I had the best gammon, chips, egg and mushy peas I've had anywhere, I went the second night and had it again it was that good. I saw the other food and it looked fantastic, listening to the ravings of the people eating it, it was as good as my gammon. The service is outstanding, friendly, fast and efficient and when someone had left a table it was cleared, sprayed/ cleaned with antibacterial spray and reset. I was very impressed by this place and if I'm back in the area,I know where I'm going to eat. I recommend that if you find yourself within driving distance of this gem, go and treat yourself to great food and service. Thanks Derby Arms and to the great staff. Rohan

We had a couple of lunches at this restaurant and were not disappointed. The portions were huge, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the staff was really friendly. The extensive menu offered a wide variety of choices, with options for one, two, or three courses. The staff was very helpful, accommodating my husband’s request for extra gravy and my own request for no potatoes with my Sunday dinner without any issues. The half chicken I ordered was enormous and cooked to perfection! We will definitely return and would recommend this charming village pub for anyone looking for a nice lunch.
