Brunch spot in Stoke

“Nicely tasty waffles, very good service, and the seating area at the back is just the thing to enjoy post lockdown. Loved it. Would always go back for more.”

“First time visit after many times walking past. Absolutely delicious! I had the large breakfast,which was huge,It came with two toast and a tea for £6.50,what a bargain. Definitely will be visiting again.”

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

“We come here every week. Staff are lovely and so dog friendly. Stone has alot if competition on where you can go but we still choose Bear!”

“We were on the lookout for a spontaneous dinner and drinks spot and were pleased to stumble upon The House of the Rising Sun. From the moment we arrived, the customer service stood out—they made sure we were accommodated even though we didn’t have a reservation. Since it was a last-minute night out, we ended up seated at the high chairs, which were a bit uncomfortable, especially if you’re dressed up (like in a tight shirt dress). The interior design is impressive—stylish and atmospheric, though a little too dim for dining. It feels more like a place that’s tailored for drinks and conversation. One standout feature is the bar with its aquarium-style backsplash—absolutely eye-catching. We tried the Teriyaki Beef and Chicken Katsu. The katsu was excellent—crispy, flavorful, and definitely best enjoyed with rice. The beef, on the other hand, was slightly chewy and not as tender as expected. For drinks, we had the classic Mojito and their signature cocktail, Land of Smiles. The latter was a highlight—refreshing with a unique spicy kick that really elevated the experience. Overall, The House of the Rising Sun is a lovely spot for a date night, especially if you’re after a cozy ambiance and creative cocktails. We’d definitely go back—hopefully with a reservation next time!”

“Really delicious food in generous portion. We ordered seafood paradedelle (pasta), marinated sea bream with fried calamari and ragout potatoes, and kid’s chicken with rice. We will definitely come back again! :)”

“By far the best cafe in the area! Every time I come to Bear I never want to leave. Can’t quite put my finger why I love it so much. Is it the ambiance, the acoustics, the decor, the view, the amazing coffee (which takes me back to living in Melbourne, renowned for amazing coffee shops!), the fabulous food or the friendly warm and welcoming staff? Whatever it is, it ticks all my boxes, please keep it up!”

“Eggettes is such a gem in Keele! The bubble tea tastes amazing—easily some of the best I’ve had. The shop is cozy and full of adorable decorations, making it perfect for taking photos while you enjoy your drink. It’s a great spot to hang out with friends or just relax. The staff are super friendly and helpful, especially Jesslyn Yeom, who went above and beyond to make our visit special. Plus, everything is really affordable. Highly recommend checking it out!”

“What a great find. The barmaid was so accommodating her baps were awesome. Nice pint of Guinness and friendly locals I will certainly be going back.”

“Best burgers i have had amazing, well recommended”

“Had a massive breakfast, staff were friendly, pub was clean and tidy. Good value for money.”

“Called in for food and drinks on Saturday afternoon with plenty of parking we accessed via a ramp and footbridge bridge over to the pub where we received a friendly welcome with choice of seating from bar area or dining area, dog friendly if you're walking past with your furry friend. We enjoyed a tasty vegan burger with hand made chips and also a great beef bourguignon, room for pudding was filled with a Bakewell tart with ice cream and a real treat of a honey and whiskey panna cotta. Both were well presented and another empty plate was left, definitely will be calling again to watch the canal boats and walkers passing by”

“Bit pricey but worth it. Bacon wasn't what I'd call proper streaky but I'm picky. All in all it was great food, well presented and served fairly quickly.”

“Great bar a grille, we moved to Telford around 6 years ago and immediately felt welcomed into our new local. Great people, great food and always look forward to going.”

“We came in as we were stopping at the premier inn next door for an event. We thought we'd go here for the evening and were extremely surprised by the food and service. Every meal we had (steak, pork belly, pie, hallumi fries, desserts) were incredible. We had a very friendly waitress who I believe was called Emma. The experience was brilliant and couldn't recommened enough.”

“I have always loved El Fourno since Mario and Cristina have opened. Fantastic pizza last night, amazing chicken goujons ! I’d recommend the whole menu, fantastic place for food with a family atmosphere”

“Staff are always so nice and friendly. It is literally my fave starbucks to go to”

“Came here tonight for a hen party. Couldn’t fault a thing. Even though the place was busy, the food all came out at a reasonable time and was delicious. Tried a few different cocktails and all were lovely! Will definitely be back!”

“Have been ordering from here for the last few years now. Food never dissapoints. Always arrives piping hot, and is always delicious. Have to say to those who are reading other reviews - yes delivery takes around an hour, but we always order for when we usually eat so not an issue!”

“Thank you for a great New Year’s Eve! Absolutely a faultless meal, service and great atmosphere. The food was just a yummy experience from start to finish with big portions. They fit us in last minute due to us being let down in another place, and we were very welcomed. It was our first time and we didn’t know what to expect, however we will definitely be back for other occasions. Prices very good too, a vast selection of drinks and cocktails, plenty of parking, and cozy seats, with fire lit.”

“We received such a warm and friendly welcome from both staff and clients at this locals bar in the middle of town, that despite us only popping in for a quick pint, ended up staying for several pints of their well kept Bass ale.”

“Bev and the Team do a great job one of our favourite locals, miss the Music and late nights and all our great friends. Hope we get back to normal soon love Jackie and Kev xx”

“My experience of the Westbury Tavern is amazing. Jez and his team hosted my father’s wake and have provided our community with a wonderful meeting place for friends and family. Just want to say thank you so much for the consistent hospitality.”

“Fantastic good value pub grub, Classic breakfast 4.99 Steak and egg 7.50 plus gorgeous desserts choc fudge cake and the after eight dessert just under 5.00 each we all really enjoyed it”

“Old school pub, great vibes, lovely bar staff and even better food! Food was piping hot, delicious and generous portions.”

“Hsd 2, 12inch pizza and large fries with 2 milkshakes. Food is very good. My milkshakes was watery but when I phoned them up to explain my concern about the milkshakes they promised and delivered 2 10/10 milkshakes. Great service and great food and milkshakes.”

“Cooker broke so was a last minute thing on a sunday. Both the cheese pie and lasagne were home made and were Amazing. Food was hot and prices were reasonable for the portion sizes. Will definitely be ordering again. Thank you”

“Really good food, very generous serving for the price!”
