About The Continental
The Continental is a Preston pub and restaurant serving British cuisine and real ales, as well as hosting live music gigs, films, cultural events and the now-legendary Continental Beer Festival.
Situated in an idyllic riverside location, just out of the town centre, there can be no more perfect place, winter or summer, than to relax in The Continental garden by the river or catch a gig in the event space, The Boatyard.
