The Fox Cub, Preston

Ate there for first time today.
Dont rate there lemonade or there fresh orange(bit bitter).
Food wise had the lamb shank was ok ,gravy was a let down bit tasteless,vegetables where a shambles massive chunks of onion corgette and large whole cloves of garlic,lacking imagination some nicely cooked carrots and greens would have been better,The potato served was ok but again mediocre.
Also my partner and I arrived at 11.30 am in need of tea and the toilet but the pub was closed. We finally got in at 11.45 and then saw on the menu they served food supposingly from 10 in the morning so god knows why they where not open.
On a positive note the staff are lovely and friendly and Leanne and Sharne where very warm and chatty. Also the brownie was very good. Would I go again?
Probably not.

The Bull At Broughton, Broughton

Ate here last saturday on way to Holiday.
Was fairly busy, however people that came and where seated after us seemed to eat first. We waited for ages for our meal, didnt really find the staff that warm, except one young blonde waitress. However when the food arrived it was scruffy presented but it tasted wonderfull. This was the only saving grace for this pub and my partner had the fish pie to which he rated an 8/10 so must have been ok.
Would I visit again? If I was passing yes, but I would not go out of my way to drive there specially.

The Crown, Pateley Bridge

Had a week in yorkshire on holiday and visited this pub twice this week.
The girl that runs the food side is very helpful and has a delightful and warm manner.
On tuesday we sampled the hotpot it was amazing and brilliant value for money.
On friday I sampled the gammon and the award winning black pudding and by god does it deserve the award it was delicious.
I would even consider a three hour drive, day trip to eat here again. Give it a try its a rare find!
