O. G.Excellent food and service. Only place in Preston we've been that actually offers the fine dining experience.
M. T.Fantastic food and experience. Taster menu excellent value, as good as some of the michellin star restaurants. Fabulous to have this on our doorstep in Preston.
M. H.Been here twice now. Once for the Al a Carte and once for the Tasting menu. Both were excellent quality. The staff are very good and attentive. Would recommend taking the wine option with the tasting menu, which I excellent too!

P. B. H. S.Delicious, sophisticated cooking. Laid back vibe considering the formal setting, which is a huge plus. Will definitely be back.
J. A.Never had an experience like this before, food was outstanding and I wasn't left hungry........definitely a one off as the prices are quite high, but it was a special occasion 😀 😉 xx
C. S.My wife and I dined there on Saturday night. The food and service were exceptional. One slight disappointment was no wine flight available. Having said that, the wines from the menu were very good indeed.
C. L.Absolutely amazing food & the chocolate cake is a taste sensation. That term is often overused but I've never eaten chocolate cake like it! Definitely worth a visit if you're wanting a something a little bit special!
N. X.Wonderful cuisine and staff. Many thanks. See you soon
A. L.Amazing food, really friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely go again. :)
G. W.We dined here on early dinner service. As ever, the service and ambience were exceptional, and the food was inventive and, as ever, Michelin star calibre. It was a privilege to dine at this gem of a restaurant
R. S.Went to 263 for my birthday dinner and had the tasting menu, it was an absolutely amazing experience. The food was spectacular and the service was flawless and I could not fault it in anyway. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to treat themselves for a special occasion.
M. G.We had an excellent meal here last night. They have not lost the plot to hope to achieve a star at some point. All I can say is that we are lucky to have this in Preston so it would be great if poeple made an effort to support them. We also stayed in the hotel which was very good as well.
K. C.We had a wonderful evening at 263. It was lovely to meet Charlie the chef, who is clearly passionate about his food created from locally sourced ingredients. We went for the tasting menu and couldn’t fault any of the dishes. Beautiful plates with amazing flavours. We also need to give a mention to Niko who had done an excellent job with the wine pairing. His passion and knowledge created a truly memorable evening. Can’t wait to return.
L. M.263 has a welcoming feel as soon as you walk in.
Service is second to none with the reliability that when you're choosing your wine to go with your meal you have expert knowledge to enhance your experience.
This is fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere. (You don't feel uncomfortable talking)
Everything we tried from the menu was delicious.
There is nowhere like this in Preston. Book a table now! You will NOT be disappointed.
C. H.Amazing food, great service. Highly recommended.
P. M.Ate here for Sunday lunch, we couldn't fault it. The service was at excellent. The beef was cooked to perfection. How wonderful to find amazing food without the stuffiness. We will definitely be returning.
P. H.Fantastic food, great service, smart place.
T. S.Fantastic food, service was great. Really nice birthday treat. Would definitely recommend. And you do get value for money. And you are full after the taster menu.
L. B.Brilliant food and service
D. W.Great food. We had the tasting menu with wine pairing which was excellent. Nico our waiter was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend.
A. M.Taster menu £35 was worth every penny. Food was amazing.

N. K.Had roast beef.....excellent food. Restaurant little quiet
R. G.Excellent tasting menu
D. F.At a mochelin level now
G. W.My wife and I are partial to nice restaurants that serve good food and that has friendly, attentive staff. 263 scored maximum points across the board. As a birthday treat, I wanted to take my wife somewhere special that was in reasonable travelling distance from where we live. After reading the reviews on here 263 was the obvious choice.
The day after I confirmed booking online I received a telephone call enquiring if we had any food allergies! A restaurant has never done this before. From that point I knew we were going to be looked after.
The restaurant itself is understated, in a quiet little back street off Winckley Square in Preston. The dining room is not huge and has a view into the kitchen. The ambiance was relaxing. We were given a warm welcome from the manager and her waiting-on team.
We has the tasting menu with wine pairing with each course. I cannot stress enough how sublime the food was. Prior to the main event, we were give 3 "snack" courses. Each one was a joy. I have to mention that the third snack consisted of 4 slices of bread and a pot of butter! We both thought it rather odd, but when we tasted the beautifully freshly baked bread with the butter, it was like flavour-bombs had gone off in our mouths. it was glorious!
The following 6 courses were exquisite. What kind of chef can make sweetcorn exciting? The butter pie is like no pie I've ever eaten before (and I've eaten a few of those over the years...). I'm not a big fish fan but the halibut was delicious. For me, the star of the meal was the venison loin which was served with black pudding, pickled cabbage, onions, pearl barley and a gloriously rich jus. It was complemented perfectly with a Uruguayan red wine. I don't eat malt loaf, but I will eat the one created at 263. I'm no fan of blue cheese, however the one prepared and served to us rounded off a truly fantastic experience.
I cannot heap enough praise on this restaurant. Thank you for making my wife's birthday an extra-special one this year. We cannot wait to return.
C. E.Absolutely nothing like this in the area. Food is seriously top draw

C. S.My husband and I had the Tasting Menu last night for our Anniversary. It was FABULOUS, from the moment we arrived the staff were attentive, friendly, professional and very knowledgeable about the dishes they were serving. The food was superb from the first dish to the last. Particular stand out dishes for us were Goosnargh Fried Chicken, North Sea Cod, Gariguette Strawberry and the Crispy Lamb Breast was a taste experience I just can’t put into words. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

C. M.Following a few taster menu sessions this year, this restaurant is my favourite. From the service staff to the amazing food. What a fantastic night
M. S.It's a fantastic experience that we've ever had and we love every dishes including the grain bread. It's a 5 star experience and we will definitely revisit it again
M. B.Fantastic tasting menu and wine flight!
M. M.Been to a good number of top end restaurants for tasting menus and this is up there with the best, brilliant that it is so local to us. Tasting menu is swapped every 4 weeks, not sure we will be able to come back every month but will certainly return as a regular treat. Food sensational, staff absolutely brilliant, set up and feel is nice but relaxed and the pricing i think is very fair. We paid around £110 pp for the 12 courses and wine flight. Would comfortably be double that in Manchester. Last place i went to was wood in Manchester and this knocks spots off it.
Its not one of these over complicated places that adds ridiculous stuff just for the sake of it. They provide knockout food that the majority of people will enjoy but is different enough to still be an experience. It’s definitely a place for foodies, but also for people who are perhaps a bit nervous about going to these types of places. If you are then don’t be, so book in!
Also good portion sizes so you actually feel nicely full when you leave.
Knockout dish for me was the cured trout, my wifes was the butter pie.
Have already recommended to friends and family, some of whom have already booked! Hope to return soon
P. B.Great tasting menu experience. Nothing to complain about. All course flavoursome and well presented. Attentive and knowledgeable staff. I'll be back.
