The Red Lion, Preston

What a delightful pub, with a great beer garden. As a stranger you do get the 'up and down look' from the locals as you walk in, but that's understandable as they own it. There's a lovely buzz about the place and is obviously dearly loved by the customers. It has superb ales and the whole place has a vibe that harks back to when the local pub was the cornerstone of the community. We've had lunch twice there now and both times we were really, really chuffed with what we ordered. Everything is home cooked using local ingredients grown on the pub's own allotments. Top notch!
