“The food was good and plentiful, the staff helpful even though they were busy. Had a bit of a wait due to the amount of people there, but I didn't mind as I wasn't in a rush. The only reason gave 3 *for atmosphere was the large party and kids, it was a little noisy but they left and the volume went down. We then sat outside in the sun to finish our drinks with a cracking view. But a great place to have food and have some meal deals.”

“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.”

“Went for the first time this week and I've been looking for a good Indian restaurant for a while. I'm veggie, so tried the Paneer Makhani and it was delicious. Unlike other places I've been, this one had plenty of paneer, it was amazing. I had gone to another place and it barely had five cubes, it was ridiculous. I'll definitely return here and I'll order from here, too, in future. Staff were super lovely, too.”

“Well well, this is a textbook definition of a hidden gem! Who'd have thought that a quality Indian restaurant exists in a quaint and nice village as Audley? I went for dinner with very low expectations, but I was in for a surprise. The starters we tried were Prawn Bhuna Puree, Shami Kebab (Lamb) & Chicken Malai Tikka - all 3 were cooked to perfection and the meat was succulent. Highly recommended going for the hot relish, as it's very unique and nice to taste. For main course we had Tandoori Chicken, which was served on a sizzling platter with sliced onions on the sizzling plate as well. The tandoori smell that permeated the restaurant in a lovely way was evident and present in taste in the tandoori chicken pieces; the curry accompaniment was also very good to taste, and very unlike the run off the mill curry sauce usually found at other Indian restaurants. The ambience was very relaxed, with lights just the right brightness, comfortable sitting arrangements, clean toilet. The servers were all warm and welcoming. Overall a very, very good experience and enjoyed a lovely meal at a nice restaurant without any added fuss or loudness after a long time. Totally recommend this to all, and will certainly be visiting more myself. This restaurant certainly seemed to deserve the accolades it shows in Google.”

“This was my second time here. I really enjoyed it. The decor is industrial with a red brick vaulted ceiling. It looked lovely with the Christmas decorations up. The food is really good. I had a goat's cheese, walnut and pear sandwich on seeded brown bread with coleslaw and fries as extras (shared). Excellent sized portions - and the fries were exceptional!! Very crispy outside, soft inside and very hot. The only negatives are inadequate parking at busy times and the noise level in the restaurant. There are no soft furnishings which makes for a very loud atmosphere. Screeching Christmas partygoers didn't help. I will go back, but not in the weeks leading up to Christmas.”

“Great night. Great Staff. Great band playing”

“Food is lovely. Pies divine. Thanks for a lovely evening.”

“I recently celebrated my 60th birthday, and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue. Lunar closed exclusively for my party, which made the whole day feel incredibly special and personal. It was such a treat to have the entire place just for my guests and me – a true VIP experience! From the moment we walked in, everything was beautifully arranged. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure the night went smoothly. They took care of every detail with professionalism and a smile, allowing me to relax and really enjoy the celebration. The ambiance was just right – festive yet intimate – and the venue itself was the perfect size and setting for my family and friends to gather, laugh, and make memories. I felt so celebrated and appreciated, and many of my guests commented on how lovely the atmosphere was. The buffet was nothing short of outstanding—beautifully presented and offering an impressive variety of dishes to suit every taste. From fresh, vibrant salads to perfectly seasoned mains and decadent desserts, every bite was delicious. Guests are still telling me how much they enjoyed the food, and many went back for seconds (and thirds!). Turning 60 is a big milestone, and thanks to this incredible venue and team, it was everything I hoped for and more. If you’re looking for a place to host a truly personal and memorable event, Lunar is it. Thank you again for helping make my 60th so unforgettable!”

“We recently visited while staying over at Alton Towers and didnt want to eat the mass produced food so went here as its quite local and had decent reviews. We were not disappointed with our choice either, what a fabulous little place! The pub part was busy, but service was quick and there was a nice range of local craft ales. The Thai food was fabulous, one of the best red curries I've had for a long time and the family were all pleased with their choices too. Definitely would recommended if your staying in the area, it's well worth a visit.”

“Honestly one of the best kebab shops around. The food’s always fresh, the meat’s cooked perfectly, and the portions are spot on. Staff are friendly and quick with service too. You can’t go wrong with Istanbul Kebab proper quality every time!”

“Just started using this chippy and it's brill. Best around. Food is fantastic and so is the service. Service with a smile. We have more local chip shops to us in Trentham but it's really worth driving a bit further to Oakhill. Great chippy!!!”

“The food was amazing, great staff and great atmosphere. The gammon was incredible.”

“The food was excellent - some of the best Chinese food I've had recently. I particularly liked the kai sung (it reminded me of the san choy bow you find in Chinese restaurants in Australia). The sizzling beef was served on a sizzling hot platter with a tasty pepper sauce. The wonton soup had luscious and juicy prawn wontons with a generous serve of wontons. We decided to go a la carte, but the range of set menus is impressive and well priced too. It was lovely to see the restaurant team welcoming people and checking in with people at key stages of the meal. It had a really nice family feel and vibe! Luckily we booked our table the night before dining as the restaurant filled up very quickly after we arrived. We were visiting family in the area, so we don't live close by - but we've said we would gladly return on future visits. It is great to support local business and not just dine in the same restaurant chains.”

“Very welcoming. Clean, smart restaurant. Food outstanding as was the service. Thank you… will be back soon”

“We love this place, not just because of the banquet deal but the food is always top draw, and the team are always happy to help.”

“We've been coming here for years, and, after a very long hiatus (due to covid, a house move / a relocation), we decided to come back. I visited with my parents and my partner (from France), and the food was just as a good as I remembered - I had the korma and it was incredible! Yazz is simply lovely, and we had such a nice time. We'll definitely be back the next time I'm over from France!”

“Some of the best food I have tried in a while - something about these cash only, lack of 'Instagrammable ' decor , olden school restaurants are amazing. The prices are really good especially platters in terms of portion size, the meat is all freshly cooked as is the rice and curries. I would definitely recommend.”

“Got for what I asked for In fact was better than we expected. Definitely order again. Top quality. Tried other places in area but India cottage is the best”

“Beautiful food and the prices is good as well. We really enjoyed our food. Thank you for the friendly staff and we surely gonna come back.”

“Very nice food. Very passionate owner who wishes to share the joy of canton food. Respect! Some traditional canton dishes can be found here like pipa tofu. Recommend!”

“We went for the bottomless brunch today…. Oh my world…. absolutely amazing! Food, drinks and service were absolutely incredible! I hope you will keep this on offer going forward. The waiter was super attentive and kept the drinks flowing. The food was absolutely incredible. We couldn’t have asked for anything more!”

“A great pub, Mandy & Mark do a great job. My first choice for a night with family or friends.”

“Superb delivery service and arrived at exactly the time estimated. Our food was delicious, the chicken tikka is the best I’ve ever had and the garlic rice and naan bread were great.”

“Had an amazing time at Serendip south Asian restaurant. Which have some amazing authentic Sri lankan food. Where we had the shovel that was delicious. Plus the service there was outstanding some very kind and polite people including the owners, thank you.”

“Called in to Bar 55 degrees today for a couple of cocktails. Lovely staff, sociable, attentive and we are very lucky in Alsager to have this lovely venue. Hope they will always have local support, we will certainly continue to support them. Thank You.”

“Recently tried this as a change to our normal Chinese take away. Not only did the food taste nicer it was also much cheaper. We will definitely order from here again.”

“Hands down the best sandwich place in the city (and if you could see my waistline you’d know I’ve tried most of them). Fresh, home made ingredients, super price.”
