About This Pub
Ah, The Farmer's Arms – it's one of those places that just feels like a proper local haunt in Preston, you know? I've got to say, it's brilliant for a laid-back meal; the atmosphere is so warm and inviting, whether you're popping in for a carvery roast or one of their fresh stone-baked pizzas. The food's a real highlight – think generous portions that leave you stuffed and happy, with options for everyone, including veggie and vegan choices, all at prices that won't break the bank. Those daily deals, like half-price pizzas, make it even more appealing, and the staff are absolute gems, always cheerful and on hand to sort you out. Plus, it's nice to see them getting involved with the community, supporting local charities and all. But honestly, it's not all perfect; I've heard a few tales of dodgy burger patties that taste like they're from the cheapest spot, and sometimes things go awry with service – like forgetting your drinks or waiting ages for desserts because of kitchen kit playing up. Still, overall, it's a solid choice for a good night out; just keep those little niggles in mind, and you'll have a cracking time sharing a meal with mates.

We had a lovely experience at Farmers Arm! It’s a couple-friendly spot with a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed meal out.
One thing to note — the portions are quite generous, so it’s a good idea to ask about the quantity before ordering. We found the servings to be lavish and quite filling, which definitely makes it worth the price.
Whether you’re looking for a cozy dinner or a casual lunch, Farmers Arm delivers both in taste and ambience. Highly recommended!
The burger patties are literally the cheapest you can buy. You know, the type you get from a snide burger van; very poor quality.
They also forgot the 1st round of drinks and had to be prompted (no big deal)
The desserts took a while too because the bubble waffle machine broke, so we had to b wait for the Belgian waffles. Again, no big deal.
But when you put all 3 issues together, it doesn’t make you want to go back.
I suspect their carvery is excellent and that’s what they’re known for. But we weren’t in the mood for a carvery.
My husband and I have dined in The Farmer's Arms a few times. Warm welcome from the bar staff Even though they're always busy. the manager does not give up attention and friendliness to customers. Attentive waiters and lovely atmosphere. Sea food here is amazing. I had grilled lobster and it was very well served to my requirements and was delicious, as was my husband's fish and chips. We have already booked a table for our next return to the UK.
Straight at the Door for 9am. First in and the breakfast is waiting, mouth-wateringly and massively portioned British Classic Breakfast all with a Brew and Orange juice at the bar to wash it down, chased by four slices of toast, these guys know service and warm welcome. Love it.
Just had a carvery today at lunchtime using the voucher. Brilliant value for money. Been here a few times and never been disappointed. Food was hot and fresh and very tasty. The bit that stood out the most though was the lady behind the bar taking the orders with blonde hair and a ponytail. As a customer service advisor myself for many years I look for good service. Her cheery manner and the way she greeted every customer and how she spoke to them was spot on. Very nice member of staff.
