About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
Based at Preston Docks on Mariners Way, the Ribble Pilot offers practical matchday conveniences: it serves food all day (11:30–21:00) and has an on-site car park, making it a straightforward pre- or post-match stop if you’re heading in by car. The pub lists cask ales among its facilities and regularly carries classics like Marston’s Pedigree and Wainwright Gold, with additional guest beers—handy for fans looking for a proper pint with their meal. Daily opening hours of 11:00–23:00 also give flexibility around typical kick-off times.

We came in after receiving a code for 40% off mains in the post. Wasn’t expecting anything spectacular but omg! You’ve gained a new regular from me :) atmosphere was lovely. Nice and clean with really friendly staff. Food came quickly, fresh and hot. I got the katsu chicken burger with a side of onion rings. Highly recommend :)
Came in for a meal, the food was delish got the topped Hotdog. Was served by Monica who had such a friendly face and was welcoming to us immediately.
Went yesterday for a drink and light lunch. We didnt order much but this took over 30 mins and no apology for the wait. Food quality just ok and fathers soup was a rather mean portion. Plus side Amelia who served our drinks was lovely.
Monica was very helpful she told me how ordering was done at the table which was great thank you I will be back. Also service with a smile thanks Great visit. Paul
