Black Sheep was the cask beer, well kept and served by friendly bar staff. A glance at the locally inspired menu convinced me that we'll back soon to try the food. Starters include Bury black pudding & Chorizo with poached egg, hollandaise sauce and rocket and chorizo salad; Goosnargh Chicken Liver and Port Pate; and Morecambe Bay shrimps. Mains include 28 day hung Rib Eye steak, Lancashire Hotpot and Home made Beef and Guinness pie. Quiz night on Thursdays and live music on Fridays. Years ago this pub was truly awful but a complete refurbishment and new ownership a couple of years ago (ish) has completely transformed it. Lucky Elswick!

Always a friendly atmosphere and good service too with plenty of spaces to park in their car park.

Nice quiet spot for a midday Wednesday lunch for a party of 7! I enjoyed a set menu with a Soup of…read morethe Day starter (Mushroom soup that day) and smaller version of their Sausage and Mash main. I enjoyed both! Pacing is on the slower end, which was perfect for us, as we were mainly there to catch up, talk, and hang out with the group. Not many other people there at the time we went, so we felt welcome to take our time. As a visitor, it was nice to pop over into Booths right next door as well. I always enjoy strolling through groceries stores in different countries and seeing the local offerings. We grabbed some drinks and snacks to take back to our cousin's home in the area to continue our day together.

The waitress advised she would be back to take our order but with no return I attempted to make a food order at the bar only to be told someone will take table side orders... 15 mins later still nobody has come to take our order.... at this point I'm tempted to just leave and take my mother elsewhere for lunch but decide to stand my ground... so 20 mins in to our hour time frame our order has been taken whoo! Not even hungry at this point but like I said standing my ground Overall it's a shame because I'd heard great things about this place but first impressions last and at this point the only thing that's going to save them is the food. I had a craft platter consisting of hallumi fries , butter milk garlic bread and vegetable goyaza with a side salad My mother had the Sunday standard roast beef dinner Okay update... main was 'ok' but I've had better the fries were over oily and couldn't finish the rest of the meal after getting that stodgy feeling we have now hit our hour time frame and still waiting for desert .. The desert was the star of the meal I had the salted caramel pecan brownie and it was melt in the mouth delicious! I actually have no complaints. Would I return? The greeting we had set the tone for the meal I work 17 hour shifts it's rare I eat out and when I do the last thing I want is to feel under pressure and constantly checking the time I want to be able to relax and have a laugh ... the waitress we had was lovely but a little slow on the service. If I had to return I would begrudgingly but it wouldn't be my choice.

The Heroes Bar is in many respects a very standard, typical, slightly-chainy pub. You shouldn't…read morearrive expecting the trappings of more fashionable hipster bars, they'll have Fosters and Heineken on tap and not much more exciting than that. So why four stars? Well, it's perfectly placed in the centre of the station. There's plenty of seating. It serves food, including breakfast fairly cheaply. The beer is cheap too, even if it won't appeal to the craft ale crowd. It's attached to an Upper Crust too and I really doubt they'd mind you taking your sandwich into the bar area to eat with your pint. Plus, the staff and the locals are really friendly and helpful. Plus, they have free WiFi through The Cloud. Plus, they have sockets where you could charge your phone or laptop and maybe even get some work done. So, thanks to this bar, when I missed my connection and found myself in Preston with a dying phone battery and almost no data the situation wasn't disastrous. I ordered a pint, plugged in my phone, called home to say I'd be late and then let it charge while I browsed the net. Heroes indeed. They certainly rescued me.
