Bar.and.restaurant in Stoke-on-trent

“I would like to say how delicious the food was and the staff were very welcoming . By far the best pub in the area . 10/10 fantastic pub”

“Couldn’t really fault it. Excellent beer, great service. Traditional style pub very close to the train station. Friendly to away fans. Will return if ever in stoke. 40 minutes from the football ground.”

“Didn't eat here but have had the food recommended by several friends. Lovely large Beer Garden, bright clean interior. Both the landlord and landlady were very welcoming and friendly with good sense of humour. We will be visiting again. Visited today for Sunday lunch. We both chose the Sunday roast beef. The presentation was very good, the vegetables were fresh and cooked well, the beef was succulent, very tender and flavoursome. We said we would like all of the veg on offer,so we received Mashed potatoes, Roast potatoes, green cabbage, peas, Broccoli, cauliflower, parsnip and carrots. We received a gravy boat each, which tasted really good, and meant I had plenty to fill my Yorkshire pudding with. We are definitely going to come here for meals again, and we will be bringing our family with us. Ps. I had eaten some of my lunch before I decided to take the enclosed photo.”

“Great food, great beer, the best company you'll ever meet, and the finest rum and coke in the area. You can do no better than the Blue Bell when it comes to everything you want from a pub. If you get a chance to attend the beer and cider festivals, that's a must.”

“Myself,my Granddaughter and Our Dementia group, Memory Lane from Portvale FC (28 individuals), had an amazing afternoon and the staff were fantastic thanks you x”

“Great pub, friendly fun staff. This pub has brilliant atmosphere and weekly live music. The food that is prepared there is spot on, they dont have a resturant the land lady will often do hot meat baps or pasties.”

“I'm giving this five because it's such a lovely atmosphere and the karaoke nights are fantastic. Although I haven't been able to visit so much lately you are guaranteed a good time. If anything little small but that can't be helped. It seems smaller area because it's so popular on karaoke. It has two sides to the bar. I'm not aware of food served here though”

“Cracking pub mint atmosphere feel at home staff are so efficient never waiting for a pint acoustic nights on the last Thursday of the month are banging”

“Excellent estate pub with brilliant landlord & landlady, always go the extra to help the community locally as well as welcoming those who aren't....”

“Delightful Pet Friendly pub with great views of the Cheshire plains Warm friendly atmosphere Dog treats and dog menu available at the bar. And the food is excellent The staff are really nice and welcoming Will definitely be returning”

“Lovely place, with very kind and helpful staff and delicious food. Family friendly with high chairs and colouring sheets, board games, etc. I recommend to reserve if you go on a Saturday night. We will definitely be back.”

“Called in and ordered 4 takeaway Sunday Lunches. The pub was busy, but the staff were very friendly and accommodating.Had a drink whilst they were being prepared. They were well packaged, stayed warm in transit and tasted delicious.”

“We came across this pub after a day an Alton Towers, when we arrived we was greeted with lovely staff and atmosphere. Ordered some drinks and decided to stay for food. Ordered steak which was cooked to perfection. And a pork schnitzel which was full of flavour. Everything came out piping hot. Ordered 2 sausages for my daughter who doesn’t like peas and chips and they reduced the price for this reason. Lovely wine too. Couldn’t recommend this place anymore. Was our first visit and definitely won’t be our last!”

“Had a party for a retirement celebration. There were 14 of us and we complicated things with last minute changes to numbers due to sickness. Staff couldn’t do enough and everything went very well and smoothly. They re-set the table and made space for 2 prams for our newborn babies. Nathan was our allocated waiter and took the time to go over the changes to the pre orders, last minute changes and allergies to ensure they were all correct. Great food and service. Lovely atmosphere too. A wonderful afternoon.”

“Absolutely world-class carvery! We live in the North-West, and my in-laws live in the East Midlands, so I was looking for somewhere in-between we could meet up. Fortune smiled on us that day as I picked the New Broom at random, and we've been going back a couple of times a year for the last 5 years. Simply, the best Carvery I have ever had!”

“Beautiful Traditional Pub under new management. Lovely food great athmosphere Defo worth a visit.Dog Friendly added bonus.”

“Beautiful clean pub. Excellent service from the very friendly land lady. Everywhere was clean and well looked after.”

“Not been here in years & went for an anniversary meal after a disappointing holiday away. Main menu a little expensive but 2 for £20 offer makes it affordable. Food was outstanding. Hot, fresh & plenty of it - they do not cut portion size for offers like some other places! Service excellent, attentive but not overbearing & no pressure to leave once meal complete. Would highly recommend & my only complaint is about the booking system, which requires card details to book-no problem with this alone but details are held by third party for 24 months which is totally unnecessary & puts our data at risk so would not book in advance & would need to take our chances on the day, as we did today. Will definitely return though, the food is fantastic.”

“The food was good and plentiful, the staff helpful even though they were busy. Had a bit of a wait due to the amount of people there, but I didn't mind as I wasn't in a rush. The only reason gave 3 *for atmosphere was the large party and kids, it was a little noisy but they left and the volume went down. We then sat outside in the sun to finish our drinks with a cracking view. But a great place to have food and have some meal deals.”

“Had a private function in the upstairs room. Beautifully decorated Great service from the staff, although I did think that one of the bar staff could have learnt to smile more. What I ate from the buffet was nice. Drinks were reasonably priced.”

“Food is lovely. Pies divine. Thanks for a lovely evening.”

“We recently visited while staying over at Alton Towers and didnt want to eat the mass produced food so went here as its quite local and had decent reviews. We were not disappointed with our choice either, what a fabulous little place! The pub part was busy, but service was quick and there was a nice range of local craft ales. The Thai food was fabulous, one of the best red curries I've had for a long time and the family were all pleased with their choices too. Definitely would recommended if your staying in the area, it's well worth a visit.”

“We arrived mid afternoon in our Motorhome with plans to eat in the pub and stay in the car park overnight. The staff were very accommodating and said it was no problem for us to do this. We had a light lunch and drinks in the afternoon then returned in the evening for dinner at a table I had booked a few days prior to our visit. The food was fantastic and the service was first class. Will definitely return if in the area again”

“Visited here with family between Christmas and New Year as we were staying nearby and needed a dog friendly place to eat. We were more than impressed :)) The atmosphere was lovely with log burners in the front part of the pub- making it feel cosy and festive. The young girl behind the bar was lovely and friendly- as well as some of the local punters who were in there- they made the effort to chat with us and play with our little dog. The food was tasty and fresh and were generous portions. Would definitely recommend visiting here if you’re nearby. We would 100% go back!”

“Beautiful food and the prices is good as well. We really enjoyed our food. Thank you for the friendly staff and we surely gonna come back.”

“Just had Sunday carvery delivery. My husband and myself really enjoyed it. With no kitchen at the moment we thought we'd treat ourselves,so glad we ordered from here. We will again in future.”

“We drove past this place million times and never noticed it untill today. We were really surprised how lovely the place look (despite rundown neighbourhood). The building looks lovely both inside and outside. Jacket potato and the sandwich was really tasty”

“A great pub, Mandy & Mark do a great job. My first choice for a night with family or friends.”
