Bar seating areas in Stoke

“Great to find a good range of Belgian beers, including several zero alcohol beers. Sadly, there was no bar food available when we were there. Very friendly staff. Live music in the courtyard made for a great atmosphere.”

“I am a regular customer. This is a great little chip shop. Well cooked food. Friendly staff. My orders have always been correct. Reasonable prices.”

“We had Tom as our server. Confident and friendly. Made an amazing salted caramel cocktail. Lovely atmosphere, with welcoming staff”

“I have visited Higher Ground on numerous occasions and love the decor, atmosphere and delicious food. Staff are always polite and attentive. I often visit with my children and mum who has mobility issues and staff go out of their way to accommodate us on a table that is accessible for her. The food is always delicious, and it is clear that they use the best locally sourced products. I usually go for brunch but recently tried the Shawarma wrap that was amazing. Would definitely recommend.”

“Fantastic food and cocktails, their website doesn't do justice to how good this place is. Well worth a visit if you're in Stone.”

“I ordered fish n peas. It was very good. Crunchy batter at the ends of the fish & it was cod! Check out the pics. Hardly any of that horrible gooey white spongy stuff underneath the batter that you get at most chippies. Would I recommend &/or go again? Based on my experience, Absolutely...”

“Another town another premier inn , this time the room ( prem + ) was massive well furnished comfortable and super clean , Leanne greeted to me and was a great example of how staff are the hotel and greeted me with a warm smile and explained everything i needed to know even went and got me some Hot Chocolate which you don’t actually get in the rooms ! Again loaned me an Apple Watch charger as I’d forgotten mine as I need it as I have an app to check blood sugar ! Perfect hotel and if Leanne is anything to go by the staff will all be wonderful too”

“Cannot complain about this place at all. Lovely fresh food, very good portion sizes and fab customer service. We'll absolutely be back.”

“Very nice doner kabab for reasonable price of 4.50£ I really enjoyed and I can recommend to anyone living in area.”

“Popped in for a traditional pint of ale while over from Australia visiting my father in hospital. The old style interior added a rustic charm, typical of what you hope to find in an English pub. Didn't eat while I was there but the menu on the table looked like a good selection of pub classics at reasonable prices. Next time I'm in the area I'm definitely going back to the Windmill.”

“Best waffles ever ! Such a lovely cafe/bar and the staff were great. Never have I had such an amazing waffle before. Fresh, hot and great ingredients. The drinks were top notch as well.”

“Went today with my boss the breakfast sandwiches were huge great price .never had an oatcake before (brummies) so the owner treated us to one on the house owner was really pleasant and if your passing you cant go wrong food is good and priced well”

“Lovely lunch with very gentle, friendly and relaxed but efficient service. Full of flavour, fabulous quality ingredients, and extremely pretty presentation.”

“We’re new to the area and have been enjoying the occasional breakfast here for a few weeks now. It’s a quirky, unassuming village cafe run in a friendly, polite and efficient manner. The food is awesome: hearty, tasty and cooked with care. Great value for money, too, which is the cherry on top. We’ll continue to enjoy our brekkies at The Corner House (followed by a long stroll around the Mere!) and recommend others do, too.”

“Lively small but great hearted pub with a welcoming vibe”

“We ordered food and had it delivered to The Dublin Bar opposite to watch the football. What a great experience. Presented on plates and not in take away boxes. The best Pad Thai I’ve ate outside of Thailand. Amazing. Fresh chopped peanuts. Lime. Awesome food. Will definitely return.”

“Great local to have on your doorstep”

“Lovely local pub with fantastic landlord who makes everyone welcome. The locals are very friendly and create a wonderful atmosphere. Good realistically prices ales.”

“Highly recommend first visit here for a long time and it did not disappoint came for a birthday meal and it was lovely all your favourite pub classics,great service, food was delicious.will definitely return.”

“Lovely little gastropub, we booked in advance for a Sunday evening meal but it was fairly quiet upon our 7:45pm arrival that we found we didn’t need to. We both decided on the roast dinner for main, was toying with getting a starter but decided against, I’m glad I did as the portion was very generous! Had a great selection of beers and wines too. Will definitely return if we are in the area.”

“Always been a great bar with great service and a wide selection of quality drinks but yesterday we hired the whole place for grandsons christening 120 people and I must say the service we received from Ben & his team was outstanding from start to finish, they had 3 bar staff on duty and they were none stop from the minute 120 of us walked through the door until we left, not once did you have to wait for a drink & we rang earlier in the week to see if they sold gluten free beer as I have celiac disease, to my amazement they had got a gluten free beer in especially which was the best gf beer I’ve ever had, very rare to find it in draft (which is like a restaurant not selling vegetarian food) but thanks to Ben & his team I could enjoy a decent drink. Thanks for everything guys!”

“I hadn't been to The Gatehouse since I was a child and had absolutely no memories of what it was like inside. It's fantastic!!!! It's only a small theatre, but it's lovely and open. The bar areas are really nice too. The Staff are brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble and they all just really friendly and helpful. I need to start booking more tickets!!!”

“What can I say? Excellent beer, staff and Landlord, Clive, are second to none. A proper small town back Street pub”

“Lovely Pub, seating area outside”

“Tom was really lovely, friendly and attentive - always kept checking on us to make sure we didn’t need anything else. Food was pretty good, not much cheese on the garlic bread but not fuming about it or anything & pasta was lovely.”
