The Preston — Restaurant in London

Hi, We are a choir group Including myself there were 31 people. This was a bit of a panic booking as my two more local venues, one would not not accommodate more than 25 people and the other did not want to disturb the existing quiz night. the initial phone call to the staff at the Preston was warm, enthusiastic and totally accommodating..wonderful!! On the night the food was delivered with speed and efficiently and hot, well not the prawn cocktail!!. The main courses were delicious and plentiful and the turkey was succulent and delicious. The desserts were also lovely and the Apple and black currant crumble was just perfect. The staff were absolutely wonderful and i really do mean wonderful. Any tiny glitches were dealt with immediately and with kindness. I had two people who did have allergies but this was also met with kindness and patience and concern. Afterwards as a choir we love to sing and even though i say so myself we are not bad at all. The remainder of the other guests in the pub seemed quite happy to turn there chairs and listen. All in all a truly super evening. The staff and chefs were just quite simply perfect (if they were having a melt down we would never have known). We were so impressed we will be booking our Christmas Party there next year!! Thank you to all the staff, you made the evening perfect...

May 2024 Me again. Met the new manager, Gabriel, today. Warm, friendly and a pleasure to talk with along with Raoul and Kelly. thanks to all.

I last reviewed this pub three years ago and went today to celebrate my birthday with my daughter, 7 year old grandson, 5 year old grandaughter and our beautiful Tara and her carer, Alina, from the nearby care home where she lives. Ellie and Katie were wonderful and attentive in spite of what looked like a full house. The local care home come hear often with the carers and there is always a warm wellcome. Thank you both

This Old Bird rocked up with a daughter, long suffering son-in-law, baby of 15 months, beautiful boy of 4 and TARA, our wonderful 50 year old disabled girlie who tends to get excited and shout a lot. Well, table reserved was perfect for her wheelchair, baby was able to fling her chips around without bothering other diners. Food excellent, expecially Garlic bread - do try the sausage and mash. And they serve cabbage! it is so lovely to have a chef who isn't mean with the garlic and the butter. Kaley Vincent was a real treat, unfazed by the party and able to join in the banter. Eve managed effortlessly to make it a lovely place to be. When it came time to leave it was all hands on deck to help me get the wheelchair out. May have to move to Wembley to be near...

My partner and I have the occasional Sunday lunch at the Preston, on this occasion we were somewhat disappointed. We both ordered the roast gammon with "crispy" roast potatoes, mixed greens and pork, leek and apple stuffing. It took us both a while to realise the stuffing was missing, mainly because the entire dish had been piled up in a tower on the the plate like a stack of burgers. Presentation was awful. I know that this is the "masterchef" fashion at the moment, but you don't mess with the traditional British Sunday lunch! We mentioned the missing stuffing at the bar, the waiter came back eventually to say that the chef had said the gammon didn't come with stuffing! We pointed to the menu where it was written in black and white. The chef had evidently not read the menu! Other niggles - the roast potatoes were leathery and tough rather than crispy and my meal came drenched in gravy rather than being just poured over the meat as it should be. We had a conversation with the very helpful manageress who apologised but did not really accept that there was a problem with the potatoes. She did however offer us a free drink which was gladly accepted. So will we be coming back? Right now I don't know, there is a shortage of easily accessible places in Harrow or Brent where you can get a nice...
