“My husband and I went to see our friend Johny, at his pub in Burslem Stoke-on-Trent, where we were greeted by politeness. It's a very popular place to visit, where you can enjoy your time and the georgous beers that are nice and cool and relaxing.”

“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”

“Best Sunday dinner we have had in a long time! Me and my partner go to lots of places for Sunday dinner and The Queen’s Head tops the lot! Large sizes and the cheesy leeks/ cauliflower cheese was incredible. Staff were really attentive and looked after us throughout our stay. We shall be back and will recommend to friends and family.”

“Very tasety. Recommend 100% Real Thai food.”

“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.”

“The Sunday Roast is perfect, and the best fish n chips. Sunday noon staffs are cheerful and friendly. It has a big & free car park also”

“It was my husband who discovered this place for our dinner with friends. Great vibes and love the fact it is a community pub. My starter of the Korean cauliflower was absolutely amazing and I could have very happily eaten a larger portion as a main. For my main however, I went for the pesto bread and butter pudding and again this was delicious. My husband and friends enjoyed their meals. I was too full for pudding but as I wasn't driving, I enjoyed the special cocktail, whiskey sour, before we headed home. Good vegetarian options.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“We had a group meal here following a hike, very welcoming atmosphere. Roaring fire. Food was served on hot plates and was delicious. Staff were efficient and friendly.”

“Was visiting close friends for their wedding and popped in here for a drink. Staff very friendly as well as locals. Very nice/clean pub. We didn't have food so no rate for this.”

“My wife had a prawn cocktail starter, which was full of prawns. The sauce was very good, brown bread & butter. I had the Spanish meat platter, which was lovely. Mains were fish & chips, ham chips, fried eggs, old school. Service was 1st class.”

“Had an evening meal with family, choice of food was very good along with the choice of real ales. The food was delicious and portions were spot on. Will definitely return in the future.”

“Lovely pub with charm, atmosphere and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend as a place to stop and eat”

“Lovely pub had some good night's in here. Great drink offers and fantastic atmosphere :)”

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

“Today we were celebrating my sister’s 70th Birthday and what better place to accommodate 19 of us? Some of us had been before but others hadn’t. The ones who’d been before for the Sunday buffet couldn’t wait to come again and the others thought it was ideal. From start to finish the staff were friendly & efficient, the food was fantastic, couldn’t fault it. A really enjoyable way to celebrate a 70th Birthday with family. We will be back.”

“Very good little gem. Visited today for dinner, and greatly surprised of the quality of the pub. Inside it is absolutely spotless clean, atmosphere very cosy, and staff friendly. Food was 9/10 and service also, this due to not being double checked after we had our mains, and the veggies were microwaved and not fully cooked. We’ve noticed all the food comes on a plate, but chips and veggies separate which is a new thing and we couldn’t decide weather is working or not, as we had to share a bowl of chip’s between us. I totally recommend the pate, chicken goujons, and the pie for the main. The pie was cooked perfectly, and the beef was very very tasty and soft. Puddings 9/10, again, custard seemed to be microwaved and had some lumps inside and a jelly texture, but only few places are doing dessert in the house nowadays so its totally understandable. We’ll definitely be back as it was a worthy experience. Very good prices for food but also for the drinks considering the current markets. Thank you.”

“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.”

“Quaint little pub on the top of a hill, only a little hill but still a hill. Had a cosy log fire, the beer was great and the dog seemed to approve so all good from us”

“first time visited, arrrived 1:50pm on Wednesday, all desserts are £5 only. the service was good and the food that we ordered were tasty. buffalo chicken wings almost charged £1 per wing. the confit belly pork, steak pie and sea baa were delicious. both crumbles and sticky toffee pudding with custard were values for money (£5 per dessert on wednesday)”

“The restaurant turned out to be a hit. A cozy, welcoming place with a charming atmosphere. The food was delicious, and the desserts melted in our mouth.Service at The Reform Inn is unmatched. The staff was attentive, ensuring everything was perfect without being overbearing. Their attention to detail made us feel like a VIP's!””

“Stayed here on 30th August. What a lovely hotel. Room was great. Hotel owners was friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again. Wish we could have stayed an extra night”

“Camr on pizza night, the pizzas were incredibly good and the staff friendly and welcoming.”
