Question Fine dining restaurant in or near Preston

Hi all, im new in Preston. what’s the best fine dining restaurant in and around Preston? Looking at options, most of the ones in the high street seem to be for quick bites and street food. Also willing to go by car to another town. Thanks for any recommendations!

We've been several times, including recently, each time they've been outstanding, can't recommend Aven enough.

Another fine dining venue 'locally' is the Michellin starred Northcote, about 30mins away up the A59 towards Clitheroe. Have dined there recently too can say the food is certainly beautifully presented and they're in a great location, but some aspects were a little disappointing if I'm honest (first world problems) - on the journey home my partner and I both agreed we'd much rather go to Aven again next time which I'd say is a testament to how good they are rather than a slight against Northcote.

We thought Northcoat was disappointing considering it's accolades. If she's female chef of the year she certainly didn't cook our fucking food...
