“We had our football Christmas meal at the New Inn at the beginning of December, the food was fantastic as always, staff we helpful and friendly, we pre-ordered as there were 15 of us and we weren't disappointed, definitely would recommend the sharing platter, a great evening with delicious food - many thanks ☺️”

“Couldn't believe the quality of the food for the price, 2-12 on the menu. Very welcoming staff too. Nice and quiet.”

“Great local chippy. Fish cooked fresh to order.”

“Wonderful welcome. Very large comfortable bedrooms and superb food! A fabulous place that we will return to regularly. The landlady and landlord and fabulous team make sure every guest is happy. Whether visiting for a drink, food or overnight stay you will not be disappointed. The food portions are huge but save room for the lovely homemade desserts too!!”

“Never had a bad takeaway from Paprika and tonight's was exceptional. Always very prompt delivery too.”

“We have visited many times for both meals in the restaurant and for a takeaway. Always fantastic food and very accommodating. They converted me to curries! Today was particularly special as we went to celebrate my toddler’s birthday. Thank you so much for the cake - it made all our days and was very very much appreciated! Already looking forward to my next Murgh Tikka Lababdar!”

“We had our first visit to Café on the Square yesterday as saw that they were dog friendly. Upon walking in we asked for a table and were immediately accommodated, we chose to sit outside in the spring sunshine which was lovely. The service was impeccable and the food was beautiful, we had club sandwiches and homemade cake to follow with tea and coffee. The tea was also loose leaf and came in a lovely filter pot. Will definitely be visiting again to work our way through the rest of the menu!”

“Had a lovely fresh battered fish tonight with pea fritter which was yummy, not had one of those before. Very nice staff and the owner was very jolly. Great service as usual. Highly recommended. 5*”

“Comprehensive brunch menu. Well cooked, lovely polite and helpful staff. Reasonably priced, not cheap but you get what you pay for a quality well cooked meal. Thank you.”

“Would recommend this fabulous restaurant , the staff were great, Atmosphere was wonderful, Indian food was the best ever tasted. Noticed a children section on the menu.”

“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.”

“We stopped in today after work to try the ‘mother clucker’ chicken burger (I’ve been dying to try it since its release) and boy, it did not dissapoint!!! Best burger I’ve had in a very long time!”

“Such an amazing little venue! I wish we had one in my city. Can't wait to come back one day, staff are also so friendly and kind.”

“Beautiful food! Me and my partner had a take away, both had curry rice and bread! And j enjoyed every part! Penny of food, I couldn’t finish my meal, would highly recommend going there! And will be having food from this place again”

“Had my first takeaway from here last night. Excellent service and delicious food. I cannot rate the atmosphere as I have not visited as yet. Thank you, and Merry Christmas to all the staff.”
