The Ribble Pilot at Preston Docks is due to close for refurbishment.

The Marston’s pub will reopen with a new menu following a £130,000 investment.

The refreshed menu will feature pub favourites such as steak and ale pie with chips, plus new additions like loaded fries with spicy pulled pork.

The dog-friendly pub also offers a traditional Sunday roast each week, served with mashed potato, roast potatoes, seasonal veggies, home-made Yorkshire pudding, stuffing and gravy.

The new look is set to improve the pub’s interior, and the revamp will also see tables added to the pub’s grown-up bar area.

Martin Cavanagh, General Manager of The Ribble Pilot, said: “We are so excited to announce that The Ribble Pilot will be receiving a refresh.

“We have invested over £130k into breathing new life into The Ribble Pilot.

“Our pub is the perfect location for a pit-stop on a visit to the Preston Docks and Marina and is much loved by its regulars. We can’t wait to welcome everybody back.”

The Ribble Pilot closes on Monday 27 February and will reopen on Sunday 12 March.
