...we are opening! About time, too. And after numerous sleepless nights, a couple of major fears (the phonelines! the floors!!). Here's something to celebrate.

Countdown to the New Continental
One of Preston’s favourite public houses, The Continental, is undergoing a complete refurbishment and redevelopment. By us, Ruth & Jeremy, & our 4 month old, Silas. The pub, situated by the river Ribble, and just by Miller & Avenham Park, has long been known as a family & food pub, with a great beer garden. The redevelopment will see the New Continental become a haven for fine food & drink lovers, with locally sourced produce and a wide range of cask ales, interesting wines, and soft drinks. The landscaped garden will host weekly summer BBQ’s, alongside a new children’s play area, and sheltered seating areas for al fresco dining. The on-site barn will become a multi-functional arts space, where you can catch a studio theatre performance, live music session or some stand up comedy. Whether you are a early bird, popping in to use the wifi for an informal business meeting over quality coffee and cakes, a office worker in need of some feel-good lunchtime food, a family who wants to dine together in the relaxed conservatory, or a group of friends gathering for a glass of good wine and a gossip in our chic snug, you will find a home at the New Continental.
The New Continental will open in early August.

About Me
- ribbletonia
- Someone has switched my city-dwelling, critical-thinking life with that of a home-town-bound mummy. My dancing days seem to be numbered in big day-glo colours made of squeezy cloth that are probably bath and sick friendly. And that's not a new rave thing, i'm really not that down with the kids. ...but are they?! Now I've had the baby and am opening a pub and cultural groovy place on the banks of the River Ribble in Preston (the home town)...and if that wasn't an adventure enough, there are plenty more out there! And it seems that I'm still dancing and very down with the kids, especially the pre-school sector.

You know, I have had it in the back of my mind to see if this old Fred and Ginger number was on YouTube and send it to you... but you obviously already knew about it! We will try to be there with Miss Molly, mood permitting.
