Cafe in Stoke

“Where better place can you go on a very wet Thursday afternoon!! The Tearoom at No.11 in Audlem. Always greeted with a friendly face and superb service. I choose the beautiful carrot cake and a flat white coffee. A bonus as it’s dog friendly too. Lovely lunchtime menu too. I was lucky to find a seat today, it’s so popular!”

“What a find this cafe/grooming salon is. I needed my dogs nails clipping, and when I googled if there was anywhere local I could have this done apart from the vets, it stated Charlie and co did a walk in service. We arrived no issue, the young lady in the salon was brilliant with our dog who is a rescue, so we were unsure if he would be nervous, he rushed into the grooming area no problem, we went and had a coffee and before we knew it he was done! Fabulous service we will be back. The girls are a great team. Oh and lots of doggy friends for your pouch to meet downstairs in the cafe.”

“Recently visited with my unit of Explorer scouts for a 'games night'. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. There's a huge range of games to play, suitable for a range of ages. I ordered a cappuccino which was so nice I then ordered a second one...my buzzing head has still not forgiven me! The premises are clean and tidy as are the cups and cutlery. Overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable visit and I will be visiting again and I'm sure my Explorers will too.”

“Cute, lovely Tea Room! The food was great and the service was impeccable.”

“What a fantastic selection of teas and coffees! I really enjoyed my drink. My pastry was lovely and soft, even if the pasty filling itself was a touch dry. Definitely worth a visit for a beverage!”

“Great place in the centre of Whitchurch, great value food, fast friendly service, pleasant atmosphere. Lovely breakfast (£3:99 before 11am !) Revisit in March 24. Still wonderful, upped all scores to 5* exceptional.”

“Came with a friend and absolutely loved the place! The chilling vibes, the artistic displays all around the place. The calmness... Very nice, with great staff and good food and drinks.”

“Working in the area needed to use the facilities so I stopped by, staff were super friendly, didn’t expect it to be so warm of an environment and the food looked lovely as I walked through, will definitely be stopping off to eat here when I’m off the clock one weekend”

“The crisps were wonderful. But the service and atmosphere are infinitely better. There is something extra about 'The Union', or BENKS, as it was always known as to the discerning drinkers of Leek and beyond. Yes. I am old enough to remember those halcyon days! With the jukebox in the red room playing all things rock, from Alice Cooper to Zeppelin (of the Led variety) and on to Dean Martin singing 'Little Old Wine Drinking Me' - a classic singalong end to each and every glorious night in Benks! Join us now for a seriously well kept pint of ale, a game of darts, an 8 ball in the top pocket or just a friendly chat, whilst listening to live music.”

“Popped in for a quick drink with a friend. Lovely place, very cozy! Sadly didn't eat there, but looking forward to returning when I'm next in the area.”

“Really enjoyed our meal at The Queens. There is a good selection of hearty food and deserts. Service was excellent. I loved the Beef and Merlot Pie and my wife really enjoyed the Chicken Leonardo Pasta. The portions are generous so bring an appetite. If we ever come back to the area this will be high on our list of places to revisit.”

“Attended a midweek gig here recently. Lovely intimate venue and some great drinks to go with!”

“A favourite local pub. Proper pub, lovely welcome, great atmosphere. Lots of parking opposite. Update Sept 23 still a brilliant pub. The beer garden has been refreshed and is a lovely area to drink. Still a favourite.”

“Visited Zap this week for lunch and wasn’t disappointed. Had a bacon and cheese toastie and my friend had a cheese and onion toastie, both very tasty. There was a nice selection of cakes available too. We had a tea and a latte, both good. Lots of people in there, it looks well supported by local people. Friendly service by the owner Asma, who was busy on a Monday lunchtime. We will return and I would recommend.”

“Good local pub with a fantastic atmosphere, dog friendly, fantastic regulars, and always a good pint, clean and welcoming”

“Very nice place, great cake, lovely tea and coffee in a nice village setting.”

“Excellent craft beer and gin bar. Staff are fantastic & bar is a great place to come to. Can't recommend highly enough”

“Lovely friendly local pub. Great prices and good range of well kept beers. Impressive gine selection too. Very good pork pies and rolls available at the bar.”

“It was our first visit there ,was a lovely experience.When asked we were told the best drink to have ,will definitely go again”

“A great pub. Great food and drink. Landlord is a gentleman and his wife a fantastic cook. I always have the gammon washed down with a few beers. Menu is varied, TVs not too intrusive and a good selection of drinks including the local gin. Take plenty of cash as they do not take cards. (they now take cards, still a fantastic pub:) I would travel to visit this pub but am lucky enough to live 2 mins away!”

“On our first visit to Congleton we were lucky to stop here for a beer and a half. Great wee place run by a nice host. If you want to sit and chat over a beer or two this is for you.”

“What a splendid pub with delicious beer…who could ask for more ? Friendly, helpful staff, great atmosphere. Thoroughly recommended !!”

“As they say a sweet shop for grown ups. Excellent selection and choice of drinks, outstanding service. Ever changing line both behind the bar, on the shelves and in the chillers. Great place to hunt down some hard to find beers, particularly for Lambic and Sour connoisseurs.”

“A real gem of a pub. Had the fortune to be in here when the landlord Steve was able to give the customers a quick history of the pub and his grandmother who ran it for 40 years until she was 80. His rejuvenation of the building is astounding. The attention to detail and historic sympathetic refurbishment is a real nod to the past.”

“We found the Masons Arms whilst looking for a venue that catered for Gluten Free. All I can say is WOW…….. What attention to detail. Fabulous food, great service and attention to detail. Gave us confidence as a family that they know how to cater for specific dietary needs. We had a wonderful Sunday lunch. So much choice and will definitely be back.”

“Food always freshly prepared and delicious. Visited today for my wife's birthday. Ordered 4 different mains for our party each of which were tasty, fresh and piping hot. Recommend booking as this place is (deservedly) always busy.”

“Well maintained tables, staff and patrons very welcoming, great value for money from bar to table tariffs. All the big sports events on big screens and excellent jukebox with downloadable content should you not find the music your looking for. The skill levels of the players is wide spread so I'm sure you will find a suitable challenger or tournament that will suit your skill level”

“Karina was the perfect host. She arranged early check in for us to store our luggage ahead of a wedding, she left some cute thoughtful touches in the room for the bride to be, and delivered breakfast early for us. She also arranged for some property to be posted back after we left it there. I would 100% stay here again if I was in the area. Especially to see her lovely dog Ella again! Thank you Karina ”
