The Moorbrook — Restaurant in Preston

The Moorbrook One word: Pizza!

Short review : Stunning pizzas. Beer garden. Great selection of beers. William Morris wallpaper. Again... Wow pizzas!

Detailed review: We happened to be near Moor Park and the Preston CAMRA guidebook led us to this hidden gem. I am surprised not many people talk about this place as it's wood fired pizzas are so astoundingly good.

What greets you when you enter is a standard English pub with wooden decor. There are two rooms with strawberry thief wallpaper, simple furniture, multiple books & games, a few screens playing Sky sports and an impressive selection of beer on tap. We were told that the beer garden is good but we were comfortable indoors. We had a tough time deciding on the beer, cause there is quite a bit to choose from. I guess it's OK to make mistakes and discover new flavours.

The halloumi fries were simply fried halloumis which were understandably salty but were well balanced with the exceedingly sweet chilli dip. An extreme flavour battle.

We had the "Buffalo got beef" pizza. Stunning! The amalgamation of mozzarella, buffalo chicken, pastrami, chilli and blue cheese was extremely satisfying. Refreshing and tantalising us for more. The pizzas tasted best hot.

Gluttony is a sin and we indulged in it by devouring a portion of loaded fries, which stuffed us and gave us a salt-moreish overload. The beef chilli loaded chips with guacamole, sour cream & salsa could be a meal in itself. Interesting flavours, but the pizza was the hands-down winner. Possibly one of the best pizza in the city.

Highly recommended! Great pizza & beer..perfect ingredients for a good...

P.S. visited again with family and shared the oven baked vegan pizzas which were absolutely delicious! And I was told that the special pizza of the day and loaded chips (both with meat) were...

Real pubs seem hard to come by, the moorbrook is unsuspecting but genuine as you like, love the moorbrook for being just that. Sit at the bar, chat with locals and very friendly staff, tuck yourselves away in a cosy corner, or enjoy the covered outdoor area, basic but comfy outdoor seating beer barell tables etc all add to the charm. Ales are superb, cracking Guiness, there's a wood fired pizza oven, great range of pizzas, chips, onion rings, halumi fries all go down well with a pint. Not too far from town, it may not be in a picturesque location but that's probably why it's not been taken over and turned into the usual artisan gastro...
