00:00Hi, my name is Sam, Digital Reporter for the Lancashire Post, and come with me as I visit

00:06the new Loom Loft Docklands store in Preston ahead of its grand opening. With the store,

00:12they've also opened the Loft Bistro, so I went to try some of their new food ahead of

00:17its opening.

00:20So Loom Loft has just opened its new 23,000 square feet premises on Preston Docklands,

00:27which also features Loom Bistro inside. Loft Bistro, which is the second of its kind, has

00:34proven to be a popular and enjoyable concept at its previous Clitheroe location. It features

00:40a diverse menu which owners say will be great for informal breakfasts, lunches, business

00:45meetings and meeting up with friends.

00:47Stepping into the Bistro, I was really impressed with the atmosphere and decor, as I felt it

00:51really went well with the store and kept those same modern themes.

00:56Speaking to Marketing Manager at Loom Loft, Tracy Leeming, she said,

01:01As soon as we decided to open our new store at the docks, we definitely wanted there to

01:05be a bistro, and the food does not disappoint.

01:09So with a chef who's worked alongside Gordon Ramsay in the past, I had high expectations

01:14for the menu, but it did not disappoint. They had small plates, signature dishes and sandwiches,

01:19as well as your cold drinks and hot drinks that a bistro would normally serve. Yet these

01:24were a class above your normal bistro. I got a real sense of high quality and was looking

01:29forward to my meal. Looking round, I could definitely tell that this is the sort of place

01:34you'd want to go in after shopping at Loom Loft.

01:37To warm into the meal, I went for a chai tea, which came with a little shortbread, and that

01:41was a nice start into the meal, but for the main event, and what I was looking forward

01:45to, which was a slow-cooked sticky beef sandwich, which came with a portion of chunky chips,

01:52a fresh salad, as well as a pot of gravy to dip it all into.

01:56Now as you can see, I struggled a bit picking it up, but it was really nice. The beef was

02:04tender, it had caramelised onions on, which really paired well with the beef, and those

02:12chunky chips were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and paired with that gravy

02:17made for a really nice combination. And I think the thing that really rounded the whole

02:23dish off was that fresh kick of salad, so yeah, I would definitely recommend. And overall,

02:30if you're shopping in Loom Loft, I would definitely recommend going into the bistro.
