Dine on delicious food and drinks in the comfort of our pub beer garden at The Guild Merchant in Preston. With space for you to enjoy snacks, meals, sides and more, why not gather your loved ones and enjoy the sun together in the great outdoors!

Originally, anyone who wanted to trade in Preston, whether as a merchant, craftsman, market stall holder or in any other capacity, was required to be a member of the Guild Merchant. Today, we’re a pub that plies its trade in the food and drinks business and as anyone who has ever been here will tell you, very successfully. Make our family-friendly pub your favourite haunt. Call in soon. We’re on the big roundabout in Ingol.

Whatever the occasion, whatever you fancy, we’ve got it covered. From pub classics, to lighter bites and delicious desserts, there’s something for everyone.
