Desserts in Stoke

“Great place to find. Lovely coffee, if a slightly restricted menu.”

“A lovely little place with a good breakfast. I had the full English, it was well priced. The bacon was well done just like I asked for. Food was tasty and set us up for the day. We went on a Sunday morning. It opens at 8am which I think is amazing. Nice plants in the windows, nicely presented place. The staff are great, even the chefs in the back give us a smile. Would definitely recommend.”

“First time to this eatery, we had a shared platter between myself and the wife and we were not disappointed. For dessert I had the walnut sponge with syrup and vanilla ice-cream, and my wife had the orange sponge with syrup and vanilla ice-cream, with deserts were excellent. We will be calling again very soon.”

“Visited the historical and very haunted, world famously renowned exotic eatery "Simply Bilash," with my good friend and internationally acclaimed musician Benny "Flashing-Fingers-of- the- fiery-fretboard , Reece. Established for many years now in the grade 1 listed building previous known as the Castle Tavern, the enthusiastic new owners embarked upon naming their exciting new restaurant settling on an anagram of 'Is my Ballship?' an ancient Bangladeshi greeting meaning may the fruit of your loins be productive in many lands, a metaphor for spreading the culinary delights of the motherland far and wide with as much vigour as can be mustered they came up with the beautifully elegant "Simply Bilash." The beating heart of this dynamic and mind-blowing Dhaba is the skill of the highly decorated chef. Dishes such as Fangash, a concatenation of Fanny and Gash (a famous Hyderabadi chef) a fish dish of such exotic pungency that the recipients eyes roll back with overwhelming delight. Any dish containing the words garlic or chilli are beyond the bounds that flavour alone can aspire to. These pungent offerings can rigourously engage the tongue in a spine tingling, goosebumps inducing, Mandelbrot mind warp . The side dishes are front and center. The accompanying sundries would be the "Main event" in other lesser establishments . Take the plunge, I implore you, and become a disciple of the tangy flavour of SIMPLY BILASH!”

“Just WOW! Recently moved to the area & after seeing the reviews for this place we had to try & it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely stunning, as well as the service. Alberto was so lovely & our lovely waitress Issy was great! This will definitely be a regular of ours!”

“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!”

“First time at Primo but came well recommended. Lovely intimate setting & the food was some of the best Italian dishes I’ve tasted in awhile. Starters of tiger prawns on sourdough & mains of chicken in a cheese sauce salmon & pork belly with black pudding were fantastic. Philippa waited on us brilliantly & Complimenrs to the chef who I believe was Darren. Top notch.”

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

“Had my 30th birthday here. Perfect place for a small intimate celebration. The place was decorated beautifully, setting the scene and mood. The team were very friendly and to top it off, the cooking was just delicious. The owner is also the chef. She is so friendly. There is plenty of parking and a lovely venue. I would recommend it 100%.”

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

“Really enjoyed our meal Tonight. We ordered from Work and went to collect, it was ready within 15 minutes and was very tasty. I/we were impressed. We had Beef Curries and Egg fried rices with Mini Pancake Rolls and each portion fed 2 people. Again, very tasty, friendly staff, and very quick.”

“Food arrived quickly and still very hot.It was one of the nicest and tastiest meals I’ve had and lots of it . The rice and naan were yummy too.I thoroughly enjoyed it.I will definitely use you again.”

“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)”

“Absolutely lovely place . Friendly staff , great service , amazing food and really good value. We will be returning for sure .”

“We spent a long weekend in nearby Alton and stumbled across this restaurant, and what a treat! Not only a lovely change from the usual pub grub so commonly found locally, but it was super tasty. We live in London and are picky about our curries, but this place definitely ticked the box. Even our little ones really enjoyed the korma. Just be warned about those portion sizes! Great service too. Chaps who work there were very welcoming and attentive. Would recommend.”

“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.”

“Now owned and run by a local brewer. All the best for your future plans for this place Andy! One of the best places for cask ale in Sandbach.”

“After a day at the leek beer festival yesterday a visit here on way home was essential! Open on Sundays from 8am! Two one piece breakfasts with tea, £13 all in, very nice too! Will pop in again when next over Leek way!”

“Brilliant place to eat, the food is superb, cooked fresh, always hot at your plate, couldn't ask for better I have never been disappointed.”

“Excellent restaurant. Very friendly. The food quality was excellent. Very reasoblyeat priced too. The cheesecakes looked very tempting. But I was so full I couldn't eat one. Everything home cooked. The homemade fruits and berries drink was really nice too.”

“Great friendly service,had fish n chips & a mug of tea..beautiful!”

“Great food at lunchtime, with full flavour.”

“Food was spot on and friendly staff too Very good prices and great value for ur money. Deffo worth a visit again when I'm next working in the area.”

“This is a real gem in Market Drayton. Excellent food - fresh, tasty and interesting along with wonderful service. Can't fault it! I have been several times and it never disappoints. I had lunch there with a friend today who had a lot of dietary needs and the guy serving was just so helpful and friendly about it ...then the food that arrived was perfect! And its so reasonably priced too. Please support this local restaurant it's a real asset to the town.”

“Not as frequent a visitor as I used to be, but every time I go I wish I'd been there more recently. Superb food. One of the last remaining examples of Stoke's once burgeoning Balti scene. Fantastic.”

“Always been a great bar with great service and a wide selection of quality drinks but yesterday we hired the whole place for grandsons christening 120 people and I must say the service we received from Ben & his team was outstanding from start to finish, they had 3 bar staff on duty and they were none stop from the minute 120 of us walked through the door until we left, not once did you have to wait for a drink & we rang earlier in the week to see if they sold gluten free beer as I have celiac disease, to my amazement they had got a gluten free beer in especially which was the best gf beer I’ve ever had, very rare to find it in draft (which is like a restaurant not selling vegetarian food) but thanks to Ben & his team I could enjoy a decent drink. Thanks for everything guys!”

“We’re new to the area and have been enjoying the occasional breakfast here for a few weeks now. It’s a quirky, unassuming village cafe run in a friendly, polite and efficient manner. The food is awesome: hearty, tasty and cooked with care. Great value for money, too, which is the cherry on top. We’ll continue to enjoy our brekkies at The Corner House (followed by a long stroll around the Mere!) and recommend others do, too.”

“A superb, stylish, cosy modern ambiance with warm, friendly and inviting staff. My Mum and Dad kindly took me there for a birthday meal and the entire experience was delightful. The menu was so good I found it extremely difficult to make a choice but when I did, the food arrived in a timely fashion and was absolutely delicious. They clearly have an excellent chef/team of chefs because the standard of the food really was excellent. Each course was of an exceptional quality and was certainly able to justify the price range. The white chocolate cookie dough with caramelised bananas, ice cream and toffee dessert was, in both mine and my Mum’s opinion, one of the best desserts we’d tasted in a long time. Truly divine. The staff were the epitome of professionalism, attentive and friendly; willing to engage in a bit of banter as well as providing excellent service. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. It’s well worth the money.”

“I had the 16-hour smoked ribs here, and what a delight! The meat was beautifully tender, with that deep smoky flavour that comes from real slow cooking. The char and bark held their own without overpowering the natural porkiness.”
