About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
CAMRA’s WhatPub notes the Moorbrook shows Sky and TNT Sports and gets very busy on Preston North End (PNE) matchdays, opening early at 11am—making it a lively pre-match hub. The pub itself runs official away-day coach trips and sells breakfasts specifically for supporters travelling on those coaches, underlining its role as a PNE home-fan gathering point. For fueling up pre- or post-game, the pub serves wood-fired pizzas (with posted kitchen hours) and it’s a straightforward 10-minute walk from Preston Bus Station, handy for fans arriving by coach. Together, TV sport, organised supporter travel, matchday buzz and hot food make it a strong matchday option.

A fabulous pub which serves excellent beer along with food, is also very friendly and welcoming so I definitely recommend a visit here if in the area.
What a lovely pub. Super nice staff including a little Santa's Helper doing decorations. The Daleside real ale was so so so easy to drink and the pizzas divine. Highly recommend
If you're looking for a pub with a lovely welcoming friendly staff, a great selection of beers and ales, tasty food with a menu that also caters for vegetarian and vegan diets, a great atmosphere, and many original features from its Victorian origin then you've come to the right place. Whether you want to sit at the bar, play darts, listen to live music or sit in one of the separate rooms for a meal, a quiet pint by yourself, enjoy the beer garden, play tennis table and enjoy a great pizza baked in outdoor oven and more, then this is definitely a pub for you. P.S. visited again with family and shared the oven baked vegan pizzas which were absolutely delicious! And I was told that the special pizza of the day and loaded chips (both with meat) were also delicious.
On first entering the Moorbrook it looks like a tiny little old pub, with a great selection of ales. Then you walk outside and discover a huge outdoor seating area with ping pong table, pool table, huge pizza oven and loads of seats under cover. The pizzas are really tasty and we also tried the chilli loaded fries, tempura battered broccoli and onion rings. The onion rings were a bit heavy on the batter, and over cooked but everything else was delicious. I don’t think Slimming World would approve of their menu 😆 they have a great selection of Vegan options too
Fantastic selection of ales and craft beers. Great service too. Not serving food on a Tuesday is a shame as their pizzas and bbq range has a reputation for being very good
