Cocktails in Stoke

“I visited Feast at 10am on a Monday morning with my daughter. The cafe felt clean, fresh and bright. The atmosphere was lovely with music quietly playing, local newspapers available to borrow and staff attentive but not overbearing. It felt like the kind of place I could’ve spent a while enjoying my delicious and hot coffee and cherry sourdough toast without feeling uncomfortable at all. We will definitely return!”

“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.”

“The Horseshoe in Astbury is an absolute gem! The food is nothing short of amazing – beautifully cooked, full of flavor, and presented with care. Whether you're enjoying a hearty meal or a lighter option, the quality truly stands out. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a charming rustic vibe that makes it the perfect spot for a relaxed meal. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always ensuring that you feel welcomed and well looked after. It's the ideal place for any occasion, whether you're dining with family, meeting friends, or just looking for a cozy escape with great food. Highly recommended!”

“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.”

“What an amazing stay, Julie's hospitality from when we arrived until our departure. The room was spotless, the bed super comfortable even the sheets had a fantastic fresh smell. The breakfast is fit for a king, I couldn't finish it all but was really tasty. The shower was powerful with plenty hot water. If your in the area its the place to stay.”

“Fresh, quality cakes. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Can't go wrong”

“A fantastic, regularly updated menu of monster sandwiches and other good stuff, all served by friendly staff in a relaxed atmosphere. The Supergreek salad is top banana. Even the tea is a cut above the rest. My favourite spot for dinner in Stoke-on-Trent.”

“I don't find myself in here for anything other than the Condemned gigs but it's always a great venue. The staff work their socks off to keep the queuing at the bar down and that's very much appreciated.”

“Highly recommend!!! wonderful food. Great dessert, and brilliant service. you should really come.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“First time at the Spice Merchant, the restaurant had a warm and inviting atmosphere, the staff pleasant and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious and we ate everything! I would recommend it to family and friends and would say booking is essential at the weekends. So much better than Pabna!”

“Incredible place, everything we ordered was excellently cooked and felt of high quality. Service was really good, friendly and attentive. Only downside was a slightly lacking atmosphere on 7pm on a Thursday, a night they had a 3 courses for £33 deal on, great value though! Special shout-out on the fish du jour bouillabaisse, that was so good, as was the wild garlic veloutte.”

“I had the pleasure of dining at the Olive Tree Restaurant and it was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the staff were attentive and friendly, and the food was nothing short of amazing. Every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented. What made the evening even more special was the lovely surprise at the end – a complimentary dessert on the house! It was the perfect sweet touch to round off a perfect meal. I can’t recommend Olive Tree enough – whether it’s a casual meal or a special occasion, you won’t be disappointed. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Great evening tonight at Redwood Smokehouse. The food and service was fantastic. We were a table of 9 and each one of us fully enjoyed our food. The platter is a must, gives you a taste of all the delicious smoked meats. We look forward to returning to try more of the menu. Thank you once again for a great evening.”

“Five star service from the owners at drinkstop. They went over and beyond the call of duty to try and source a drink that they (and no other off-licence in the area) had in stock. They even checked several cash and carries to try and find the alcohol that I required and kept me updated each day when they were unable to source it. Just amazing customer service and I'm so impressed! Thank you so much”

“Start from the location just next to train station and in the heart of this beautiful town. The second thing which make this place highlighted is amazing selection of craft beers from IPA to stout & sour. Third is awesome atmosphere which I really like. Good vibes and friendly approachable people in the bar. Specially I like the wall full of colour beer pump clips. Service was good and the prices were very pocket friendly. Hope after all these points I recommend it. Worth to visit”

“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.”
