Intimate dining in Stoke

“Best Chinese in Congleton. Our go-to. Really tasty and reliable for the whole range of dishes. Only possible improvements would be an online ordering option, and offering the big vegetable spring rolls (not just mini).”

“Went for the New Year’s Eve dining experience and have to say it was superb in every way. The food serving was excellent, the setting, second to none with great service, attentive and courteous. Congratulations to all. This is one of our favourite places!”

“Tom was really lovely, friendly and attentive - always kept checking on us to make sure we didn’t need anything else. Food was pretty good, not much cheese on the garlic bread but not fuming about it or anything & pasta was lovely.”

“We visited yesterday for a family wedding and we were made to feel very welcome from the start. It is a super wedding venue and the staff were very organised and ensured that it all ran very smoothly. One member of staff who stood out to us was Sophie. She was so accommodating and nothing was too much trouble for her. She served the canapés in a very efficient and friendly manner. The following morning ( today ) she served us with a delicious breakfast and was as helpful as she had been yesterday. She certainly stood out to us but I will add that all the staff worked efficiently and calmly throughout the day. Thank you for a lovely day xx”

“The outside area is a good place on a sunny day.”

“We had a lovely evening celebrating an anniversary. We were served by T who was engaging and attentive! Couldn’t have asked for a better meal out for a special occasion! Food was brilliant, drinks lovely and the extra touches don’t go unnoticed!”

“One of my absolute most favourite restaurants, come here everytime I'm in Buxton. The food is always amazing and the staff are wonderful and attentive. Would strongly recommend.”

“Good pizza. I love the starters. The dough pillows were extremely soft and yummy so was the bread and olives. Nice drinks. It would be 10 stars if you had garlic dip”

“i visited to the swann for lunch and this is a 10/10 pub i had a great time the staff were lovely and attentive the food was so yummy i had a mixed grill and a pedigree and it was the best in the area, excellent value for money, the restaurant was clean and the food was piping hot! will definitely be returning”

“What a brilliant hidden gem with a fantastic menu and lovely team. It was quiet when we went but booking is advised as it gets busy especially in the summer with the canal boats. Will be back again”

“Great place staff are amazing and the owners are very lovely. Parveen is such a amazing lady this is the only place me and my husband have curry even if we don't come to Thornbury Hall to eat in we will pick up and this is also a good place to buy Christmas or birthday vouchers from for people who love a special curry or just food in general wouldn't go any we're else I would definitely recommend Thornbury Hall good choice of food something for everyone”

“One of the better curry houses in town! - I have tried curries from most places around Stoke now and this is for sure one of the best. The food is really nice, though a little more expensive than the average takeaway. We had chicken balti, with garlic fried rice, onion bhaji, a side salad and a garlic naan and were really impressed. I’m certainly going to be ordering from here quite often.”

“The most perfect wedding venue. From the outset of booking this venue Jose was there guiding us through everything we needed to know - not just about the venue, but advice on photographers and the actual ceremony expectations. The venue and grounds are simply stunning, you’d have never known we were so close to Stone centre! We were very lucky to get married outside and it was breathtaking, our wedding breakfast took place upstairs and it had its rustic charm with the beams and wheel, again, with lots of our guest commenting how lovely it was to see the character of the building. The food was unreal, one of the biggest compliments post wedding we got was about how amazing the food was especially the paella! Jose, his sister and all his family & workers that help run The Mill truly make it the wonderful, stress free and magical place to get married. I cannot recommend this place enough!”

“Fantastic food. Helpful, friendly staff. Absolutely recommended. We'll be back soon.”

“I absolutely loved this place I took my niece and nephew there and they usually do not eat a lot but this time they finished their food and even asked for more!! This is my new favourite place!!”

“I had green curry, it was so delicious, I loved it so much. Hoping to go back soon. P.S. I don’t leave reviews regularly, but after seeing many spammy reviews with negative comments and fake photos, I wanted to let people know that it’s a lovely place to eat.”

“Brilliant food, great quality. Always quick and friendly service”

“Dining here with my two little daughters has been a wonderful experience! You get a lot of food for really reasonable prices, which is perfect for families. The food tastes fantastic—it's always fresh and full of flavor. The staff is friendly and attentive, making it an enjoyable outing for both adults and kids. Highly recommend if you're looking for great quality and value!"”

“Service and food was excellent. We went in for brunch and had a full English and Eggs Royal. Very tasty. 3 of us for brunch, toast and drinks was £27, great value. Alcohol available from the bar from lunchtime.”

“Just one word "Excellent", what else can i say, ideal really, good quality local ingredients. The service was excellent, even though it was really busy. A great family environment, dishes can be tailor made to your preferences. Highly Recommended, it's cheaper than Alton Towers food outlets (really expensive), which is 10 minutes drive away. 10/10”

“Really impressed, tasty fresh food, good portions and reasonably priced. We will definately be ordering from here again next time we are visiting family in Congleton”

“Toffs is a wonderful cafe right in the middle of Hanley. It's got a gorgeous terrace facing south meaning you've got sun all day. I had a latte and a baklava, probably the best I had in my life. And the family who runs the business, they are the friendliest you can get - you won't get a better welcome and service anywhere near. Will certainly return.”

“Great food in a relaxed environment. Always love to go to the Robin Hood for a fabulous Thai meal.”

“Excellent masala fish and a really friendly bunch. Also, great value for money.”

“I was there with my family. The service was excellent. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful. This was my first visit but it will not be the last. The food was really good. The soup came with two different meat, chicken and shrimp but I believe the base of the soup was the same. I enjoyed the soup but chicken was a bit dry. I ordered noodles and two orders coconut rice one egg fried rice both very tasty. The main course ordered , duck, 2 prawns and one chicken dishes but I later realised mum’s dish was chicken as well as mine but suppose to be a prawn dish. I asked, the staff to change mum’s dish. I wasn’t happy with my chicken dish but I had it, duck and prawn dishes were very tasty. We didn’t have any desserts but beer was pretty good be honest. We were full and loved the taste. Thank you Art of Siam I’ll be back !!!”

“Wow wow wow . Third visit to this place . Great staff food is amazing and the place looks amazing . Feels like we are eating in a 5 ⭐ restaurant. Keep up the great work .”

“We took the children to Alton Towers this half term and we wanted to stay in a nice place for the night. I am telling you it doesn’t disappoint ! The rooms, the food the staff is 5 stars! A gem of the area! Love love love”

“Delightful Pet Friendly pub with great views of the Cheshire plains Warm friendly atmosphere Dog treats and dog menu available at the bar. And the food is excellent The staff are really nice and welcoming Will definitely be returning”

“Had a party for a retirement celebration. There were 14 of us and we complicated things with last minute changes to numbers due to sickness. Staff couldn’t do enough and everything went very well and smoothly. They re-set the table and made space for 2 prams for our newborn babies. Nathan was our allocated waiter and took the time to go over the changes to the pre orders, last minute changes and allergies to ensure they were all correct. Great food and service. Lovely atmosphere too. A wonderful afternoon.”

“That dessert was my joy, my sweetest prize, A symphony of flavours, a feast for the eyes. The lemon tart dazzled, sharp and bright, I saved the lemon top, my last delight. Raspberry sorbet burst, wild and alive, An explosion of taste, it made me revive. And not to forget, with broccoli in view, That steak was pure magic—perfectly too.”
