The Cartford Inn Preston Reviews from The Last Year
Perfect
We booked the private dining room for our Golden Wedding celebration lunch. All through the process the staff were extremely helpful. The room was perfect for our group of 21. The menu choice was extensive and covered everyone’s tastes. The food was excellent from starters to desserts and the portions were very generous. Drink orders on arrival were dealt with swiftly with 4 members of staff making sure that everyone was served. The TOTI (house) wines that we chose to accompany lunch were very good value for money. Service was fast and food was hot on arrival. Very pleasant staff in a lovely location. Highly recommended and we will be back.
Excellent, worth the visit
my wife and I can the french onion soup and fish pie. both where excellent. The service was also excellent. We will definitely be going back
Lovely evening at the Cartford
Booked on the last minute on our way back from The Flower Bowl. All the staff were great, very friendly, helpful and polite. The food was delicious - starters, mains and desserts. The ambience of the place was great too.
Disappointed
I was bought a gift voucher for the value of £150 from colleagues I didn’t look at the expiry thinking it would be for a minimum of 12 months. I saved it for a special occasion and on booking I realised it was only valid for six months. I explained my over-sight & was told rather abruptly that six months is six months. Having issued vouchers myself I’ve never known a six month voucher or any company who would not honour this amount. Really disappointed that the voucher system is not for the customers benefit.
Must visit definitely
Brilliant every time we go Can’t fault it The ambience ,the Staff, the setting Excellent food Would highly recommend this family run Inn
An original and delightful stay
Just to be clear - I rarely post reviews on Tripadvisor but I was surprised at some of the negative reviews that I have seen appear recently. We booked the option with the Robin's Nest cabin + 3 course dinner @ £30/head. Check in was simple and quick and we were shown to our cabin overlooking the River Wyre. Spacious, it was decorated with thought and originality. Great sound system operated by an iPad + a vinyl record player. There were lots of tasteful ornaments. A balcony with heating and sheepskins topped it off. Definitely not an anonymous business location! Full choice was offered for dinner. Not, as you usually see, a stripped out version that you can sometimes see when you prebook on an offer. By prebooking, we saved at least half on the final bill. Like the room, the food was original, thoughtful and delicious. All of this was served by a team of charming team of waiters that were professional and efficient throughout. Breakfast, the next morning was equally delicious. All in all, this was a perfect stay. Thank you !
Something's changed with the food quality
Something's changed at the Cartford Inn. We've eaten here lots of times and it was always our favourite place, but today everything we ate was average. For the prices, it needs to be top quality cooking but today all 3 courses weren't great. Very disappointing. I'm guessing there's been a change of chef along with the new discretionary food charge. It's a real shame.
The Penthouse
We booked the Penthouse for an overnight stay with the dinner included. The Penthouse was a lovely room, with full amenities, which we loved. I'm sure on a warm summer evening it would be idyllic, but in December during the cold and rain, the balcony went unused. The food was good, really enjoyed the tastes and the cooking of the food was spot on, with good choices on the menu. The ambience of the place was great, with a duo playing that evening, with the staff attentive and there was nothing they wouldn't do to help you enjoy your meal and stay, excellent service from arriving to departing.
Average
Business lunch meeting took some clients out. Food was good but the service doesn’t match the price tags. Waitresses offering a service level you would expect from a cafe on Blackpool prom not when the starters are £12 and the steak is nearly £40 Drink was wrong - no apology Cleared half the plates only I had to ask them to clear the rest and provide a dessert menu Asking us to pass to menus to them instead of walking round the table to collect them Just get the impression staff feel customers are inferior to them
Highly recommended
The food here is excellent. We have visited a number of times and always had a great experience. The menu is unique and changes with the seasons. Highly recommended.
Inedible, won't be going back!!
I’ve eaten in the Cartford arms a number of times, always pulled back by the look and feel of the place but to be honest have never been blown away by the food. After my experience on Monday I honestly can’t think I’ll be going back. I’m a huge fan of belly pork and have had it every which way you can, so as it was on the menu it was for me a go to. It was described as being braised pork belly, my understanding means it should melt in your mouth. It couldn’t have been further from reality as unfortunately it was basically a few slices of belly that looked like and had the consistency of something that had been flash fried to the point, I mentioned this to the waiter, that it was inedible. I had a mouthful and left the rest. When we got the visit to the table to ask if all was okay I explained it was very tough and he said straightaway that a few other people who had it also said the same and said it wasn’t crispy or cooked enough. Also when ordering, I wasn’t sure what to order, surely if they had already had complaints they should have encouraged me to have something else?! In attempt to appease me the waiter said I could have a cup of coffee almost as a way of brushing it away. Appalling on all counts, the food was inedible, the waiter’s response to my comments was to offer me a coffee and then to top it all off the coffee, I exchanged for a pint of beer, was then added to my bill which I had to point out to him…. Sorry I don’t care how good everything looks if you can’t follow it up with at least cooked food and decent waiting staff you won’t be getting my business anymore…. A very, very poor experience !!
Wow! Eclectic venue. Beautiful food.
Wow! Amazing food on every plate. Oysters, cod with dahl, black pudding. The food we did not want to end. Staff were very attentive. Love the eclectic feel of this place too. One of my faves

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

Give the best answerVirtual Name & Email on reservation
Hi Community,
I am new to this site and just recently bought a reservation here. I noticed that on the reservation page, it is booked under a random name and a virtual email address.
I can't find any button to change either the name or the email for this reservation I bought. So, should I just say that random name when I arrived at the restaurant? Not really sure about the procedures.
